## Detailed Description

A button to launch a color selection dialog.

The GtkColorButton is a button which displays the currently selected color an allows to open a color selection dialog to change the color. It is suitable widget for selecting a color in a preference dialog.

The ColorButton widget looks like this:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::ColorButton::~ColorButton | ( | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton | ( | ) |

Creates a new color button.

This creates a widget in the form of a small button containing a swatch representing the current selected color. When the button is clicked, a color-selection dialog will open, allowing the user to select a color. The swatch will be updated to reflect the new color when the user finishes.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton | ( | const Gdk::Color& | color ) | `[explicit]`

Creates a new color button with a predefined color.

Same as Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton(). Additionally takes a Gdk::Color and initializes the button with this color. Equivalent to calling set_color(color) after the default constructor.

Parameters:

  color | A Gdk::Color to set the current color with.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton | ( | const Gdk::RGBA& | rgba ) | `[explicit]`

Creates a new color button with a predefined color.

Same as Gtk::ColorButton::ColorButton(). Additionally takes a Gdk::RGBA and initializes the button with this color. Equivalent to calling set_rgba(color) after the default constructor.

Parameters:

  color | A Gdk::RGBA to set the current color with.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Gdk::Color Gtk::ColorButton::get_color | ( | ) | const

Returns a copy of the the current color.

Changes to the return value will have no effect on the Gtk::ColorButton.

Returns:

Glib::ustring Gtk::ColorButton::get_title | ( | ) | const

Gets the title of the color selection dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Returns:
  The title.

bool Gtk::ColorButton::get_use_alpha | ( | ) | const

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Returns:
  `true` if the color sample uses alpha channel, `false` if not.

const GtkColorButton* Gtk::ColorButton::gobj | ( | ) | const`[inline]`
