✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::CheckButton — it's a wrapper for GtkCheckButton, bestie 💖

Like, okay, so it's the little ticky box. The one you click and it goes check. You already know the vibe. 🎀

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

Okay so this is the whole family tree and yes she comes from a long line of distinguished ancestors, main character energy all the way down 💅

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Button
                              +----Gtk2::ToggleButton
                                   +----Gtk2::CheckButton

Every single one of those is in the lineage, no skipping generations. Respect the bloodline. 👑

🦋 INTERFACES 🦋

She also implements these, because she's multi-talented and we love that for her:

  • Glib::Object::_Unregistered::AtkImplementorIface
  • Gtk2::Buildable
  • Gtk2::Activatable

✨ METHODS ✨

Not me giving you three whole ways to make one. Because sometimes you have a label, sometimes you don't, and sometimes the label has a mnemonic in it. Slay. 💖

widget = Gtk2::CheckButton->new ($label=undef)

  • $label (string)

widget = Gtk2::CheckButton->new_with_label ($label=undef)

  • $label (string)

widget = Gtk2::CheckButton->new_with_mnemonic ($label=undef)

  • $label (string)

🎀 STYLE PROPERTIES 🎀

The aesthetic knobs, bestie. These are style properties so they come with a whole little vibe-description situation:

  • 'indicator-size' (integer : default 13 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — Size of check or radio indicator 💅
  • 'indicator-spacing' (integer : default 2 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — Spacing around check or radio indicator 🌸
Okay so both of these say readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb. That's literally what the page says, I'm not editing it, periodt. 🫶
