DESCRIPTION

This module provides simple utility functions useful for Gnome2/Gtk2 Perl programming.

EXPORT TAGS

:all :main :alter :create

FUNCTIONS BY TAG

:main

process_pending_events ( )

For all pending events, run through the main loop once. Useful for long processes to update the user interface.

process_main_exit ( [ EXIT_VALUE ] )

This will quit the main event loop after all pending events have been given a run through the main loop one last time. Once the UI work is done, exit with the value given or zero. Should the exit value passed be the string 'no-exit', the function will return TRUE instead of exiting.

:alter

DOUBLE = force_progress_bounds ( DOUBLE )

Used with Gtk2 progress bars to ensure a given value is within the 0.00 to 1.00 bounds for valid percentages. This function will modify invalid values appropriately to either 0.00 or 1.00 should the value be out of bounds.

Gtk2::Label = make_label_wrap_left_centred ( Gtk2::Label )

Given a Gtk2::Label will center the alignment, left justify the text, make the label selectable and make the label wrap lines.

:create

Gtk2::Button = create_mnemonic_icon_button ( ICON, STRING )

This will create a new Gtk2::Button, a Gtk2::Image and a label then pack the image and label into an hbox inside the button. The label is new_with_mnemonic and the ICON given can be one of the following types: a stock-id string, the path to an image file, a Gtk2::Image object or a Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf object. The button has references to the three components as follows: $button->{HBOX}, $button->{LABEL} and $button->{IMAGE}.
