✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Label — A Label in a FormFactory framework 🏷️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Label->new (
  with_markup => Should the label render with markup?,

  for         => Name for Widget this label belongs to,
  ...
  Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory::Widget attributes

look at her go 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this class implements a Label in a Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory framework, periodt. 🫶

The text of the Label is the value of the associated application object attribute. And if there's no object associated with the Label? Then the text is taken from the standard label attribute. iconic. ⭐

💅 ATTRIBUTES 💅

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

• with_markup = BOOL [optional] — if you set this to TRUE, the Label may contain basic HTML markup, which gets rendered accordingly. ✨ For the deets, go read the "Pango Text Attribute Markup" chapter in the Gtk+ documentation. iykyk 📖
• bold = BOOL [optional] — set it to TRUE and the label is implicitly renderd as markup set into <b>...</b> tags. 💪
• for = SCALAR [optional] — if this label belongs to another widget, pass that widget's name right here. 🎯 That way the label greys out automatically if the widget gets inactive. the way that works… 😭

And you may not just specify a simple name here — you can also reference siblings of the label widget by specifying

sibling($nr)

whereby $nr has a negative value to address siblings left from the Label and positive to address right siblings. E.g. sibling(-1) is the first left sibling and sibling(2) the second on the right. 🔥

Now — if you add your Widgets to a Gtk2::Ex::ForFactory::Form container, the label attributes of the Widgets are rendered automatically correspondently. 🪄 But you need this feature for complex layouts not covered by Gtk2::Ex::ForFactory::Form, e.g. in a Gtk2::Ex::ForFactory::Table. 💀

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