## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::~FontSelectionDialog | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::FontSelectionDialog | ( |  | ) |

Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::FontSelectionDialog | ( | const Glib::ustring & | title | ) | `[explicit]`

## Member Function Documentation

Button* Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_cancel_button | ( |  | ) |

Gets the 'Cancel' button.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:
  The Gtk::Widget used in the dialog for the 'Cancel' button.

const Button* Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_cancel_button | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the 'Cancel' button.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:
  The Gtk::Widget used in the dialog for the 'Cancel' button.

Glib::ustring Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_font_name | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the currently-selected font name.

Note that this can be a different string than what you set with set_font_name(), as the font selection widget may normalize font names and thus return a string with a different structure. For example, "Helvetica Italic Bold 12" could be normalized to "Helvetica Bold Italic 12". Use pango_font_description_equal() if you want to compare two font descriptions.

Returns:
  A string with the name of the current font, or `0` if no font is selected. You must free this string with Glib::free().

const Button* Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_ok_button | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the 'OK' button.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:
  The Gtk::Widget used in the dialog for the 'OK' button.

Button* Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_ok_button | ( |  | ) |

Gets the 'OK' button.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns:

Glib::ustring Gtk::FontSelectionDialog::get_preview_text | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the text displayed in the preview area.

Returns:
  The text displayed in the preview area. This string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed.
