Gtk2::E...::Button(3)

💖 Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Button — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for Gtk2::E...::Button(3), and honestly? it's a lil button module and it's iconic. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Button — it's a Button in a FormFactory framework. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you summon one, fr fr:

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Button->new (
  clicked_hook => Callback CODEREF / Closure
  stock        => Name of a stock item for this button,
  with_repeat  => Trigger callback continuously as long button is pressed,
  image        => Filename of image to put on button,
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes
);

she's giving constructor energy. the ... is doing a lot of heavy lifting but we move 🫶

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module implements a Button in a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework.

and here's the tea bestie: no application object attribute is associated with the button. like, zero. none. she's free. no cap. 🙈

---

👑 OBJECT HIERARCHY 👑

the family tree, and yes we're putting it in a code block because we respect it:

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Intro

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget
+--- Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Button

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Layout
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Rules
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Context
Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Proxy

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Button is a direct child of Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget and honestly it's giving main character energy 🌈

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

Attributes are handled through the common get_ATTR(), set_ATTR() style accessors, but — important — they are mostly passed once to the object constructor and must not be altered after the associated FormFactory was built. like, don't touch after. periodt.

• clicked_hook = CODEREF [optional] — this is for convenience, and it connects the CODEREF to the clicked signal of the button. she's a shortcut and she knows it 💅
• stock = SCALAR [optional] — you may specify the name of a stock item here, which should be added to the button, e.g. 'gtk-edit' for the standard Gtk Edit stock item. and you may combine stock and label arbitrarily — mix and match bestie, go off ✨
• with_repeat = BOOLEAN [optional] — if you set this option the clicked_hook is called continuously as long as the button is pressed, with a initial short delay, just similar to keyboard repetition. yes like when you hold down a key on your keyboard. obsessed. 🔥
• image = FILENAME [optional] — use just this image for the button. No additional label is applied. so it's the picture and nothing else, no caption, no notes. 💀

For more attributes refer to Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget. iykyk.

okay real talk: that "WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY" bit is in ALL CAPS in the original for a reason — it's not a joke, it genuinely means no promises. noted. 💜

💀 POD ERRORS 💀

not me finding out the docs themselves had a lil oopsie 😭

Hey! The above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

Around line 109: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'Jörn'. Assuming UTF-8

so basically the ö in Jörn showed up before any =encoding declaration and Perl just went "eh, assuming UTF-8" — honestly relatable, that's the most chill error handling ever 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie!! this came from perl v5.42.0, dated 2025-07-25, under the Gtk2::E...::Button(3) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. go forth and button 💖✨🎀
