class Gtk::DropDown

Overview

Gtk::DropDown is a widget that allows the user to choose an item from a list of options.

An example Gtk::DropDown

The Gtk::DropDown displays the selected choice.

The options are given to Gtk::DropDown in the form of GListModel and how the individual options are represented is determined by a Gtk::ListItemFactory. The default factory displays simple strings.

Gtk::DropDown knows how to obtain strings from the items in a Gtk::StringList; for other models, you have to provide an expression to find the strings via Gtk::DropDown#expression=.

Gtk::DropDown can optionally allow search in the popup, which is useful if the list of options is long. To enable the search entry, use Gtk::DropDown#enable_search=.

CSS nodes

Gtk::DropDown has a single CSS node with name dropdown, with the button and popover nodes as children.

Accessibility

Gtk::DropDown uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_COMBO_BOX role.
