Gtk2::LinkButton(3)

✨ Gtk2::LinkButton ✨

okay bestie, so this page is from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the world, and it's all about Gtk2::LinkButton — which is literally just a wrapper for GtkLinkButton 💅

It's a button. That's a link. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

ok so the family tree goes like this, and yes she comes from a long line of ancestors, main character energy honestly:

Glib::Object
+----Glib::InitiallyUnowned
     +----Gtk2::Object
          +----Gtk2::Widget
               +----Gtk2::Container
                    +----Gtk2::Bin
                         +----Gtk2::Button
                              +----Gtk2::LinkButton

🌈 INTERFACES 🌈

she also implements these, no big deal:

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

💖 METHODS 💖

✨ widget = Gtk2::LinkButton->new ($url, $label=undef)

• $url (string)
• $label (string)

---

✨ widget = Gtk2::LinkButton->new_with_label ($url, $label=undef)

• $url (string)
• $label (string)

---

✨ string = $link_button->get_uri

just gets the uri, that's the whole job 🫶

---

✨ Gtk2::LinkButton->set_uri_hook ($func, $data=undef)

• $func (scalar)
• $data (scalar)

Pass undef for func to unset the URI hook.

⚠️ okay this part is important: note that the current implementation does not return the old hook function. Which means there is no way to restore an old hook once you overwrote it. So like... be careful, bestie, that's permanent. 💀

---

✨ boolean = $link_button->get_visited

Since: gtk+ 2.14
