💖 Gtk2::Expander ✨

okay bestie, so this is Gtk2::Expander — it's a wrapper for GtkExpander, and yes it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your man pages. She's cute, she's collapsible, she's giving "click me to reveal the good stuff" energy. 🎀

💜 PROPERTIES 💜

  • 'expanded' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / construct / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — whether the expander has been opened to reveal the child widget 👀
  • 'label' (string : default undef : readable / writable / construct / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the text of the expander's label
  • 'label-fill' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / construct / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — whether the label widget should fill all available horizontal space
  • 'label-widget' (Gtk2::Widget : default undef : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — a widget to display in place of the usual expander label
  • 'spacing' (integer : default 0 : readable / writable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — space to put between the label and the child
  • 'use-markup' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / construct / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — the text of the label includes XML markup. See pango_parse_markup() 🫶
  • 'use-underline' (boolean : default false : readable / writable / construct / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — if set, an underline in the text indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key

🎀 STYLE PROPERTIES 🎀

  • 'expander-size' (integer : default 10 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — size of the expander arrow
  • 'expander-spacing' (integer : default 2 : readable / private / static-nick / static-blurb) — spacing around expander arrow
