void Gtk::ToolItem::set_expand | ( | bool | expand = `true` | ) |

Sets whether tool_item is allocated extra space when there is more room on the toolbar then needed for the items.

The effect is that the item gets bigger when the toolbar gets bigger and smaller when the toolbar gets smaller.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | expand | Whether tool_item is allocated extra space.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_homogeneous | ( | bool | homogeneous = `true` | ) |

Sets whether tool_item is to be allocated the same size as other homogeneous items.

The effect is that all homogeneous items will have the same width as the widest of the items.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_is_important | ( | bool | is_important = `true` | ) |

Sets whether tool_item should be considered important.

The Gtk::ToolButton class uses this property to determine whether to show or hide its label when the toolbar style is Gtk::TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ. The result is that only tool buttons with the "is_important" property set have labels, an effect known as "priority text"

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | is_important | Whether the tool item should be considered important.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_proxy_menu_item | ( | const Glib::ustring& | menu_item_id,
|  | Widget& | menu_item
| ) |

Sets the Gtk::MenuItem used in the toolbar overflow menu.

The menu_item_id is used to identify the caller of this function and should also be used with get_proxy_menu_item().

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | menu_item_id | A string used to identify menu_item .
  | menu_item | A Gtk::MenuItem to be used in the overflow menu.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_tooltip | ( | Tooltips& | tooltips,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | tip_text,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | tip_private = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |

Sets the Gtk::Tooltips object to be used for tool_item , the text to be displayed as tooltip on the item and the private text to be used.

See Gtk::Tooltips::set_tip().

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | tooltips | The Gtk::Tooltips object to be used.
  | tip_text | Text to be used as tooltip text for tool_item .
  | tip_private | Text to be used as private tooltip text.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_use_drag_window | ( | bool | use_drag_window = `true` | ) |

Sets whether toolitem has a drag window.

When `true` the toolitem can be used as a drag source through gtk_drag_source_set(). When toolitem has a drag window it will intercept all events, even those that would otherwise be sent to a child of toolitem .

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | use_drag_window | Whether toolitem has a drag window.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_visible_horizontal | ( | bool | visible_horizontal = `true` | ) |

Parameters:

  | visible_horizontal | Whether toolitem is visible when in horizontal mode.

void Gtk::ToolItem::set_visible_vertical | ( | bool | visible_vertical = `true` | ) |

Sets whether toolitem is visible when the toolbar is docked vertically.

Some tool items, such as text entries, are too wide to be useful on a vertically docked toolbar. If visible_vertical is `false` toolitem will not appear on toolbars that are docked vertically.

Since: 2.4

Parameters:

  | visible_vertical | Whether toolitem is visible when the toolbar is in vertical mode.
