19. Popovers¶
The Gtk.Popover is a separate window used for displaying additional
information and is often used with button menus and context menus.
Popovers are visually connected to a related widget with a small triangle.
Their uses are similar to those of dialog windows with the advantage of being less
disruptive and having a connection with the widget the popover is pointing to.
A Popover can be created with Gtk.Popover; for opening the popover use
Gtk.Popover.popup().
19.1. Custom Popover¶
A widget can be added to a popover using Gtk.Container.add().
19.1.1. Beispiel¶

7class PopoverWindow(Gtk.Window):
8 def __init__(self):
9 Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="Popover Demo")
10 self.set_border_width(10)
11 self.set_default_size(300, 200)
12
13 outerbox = Gtk.Box(spacing=6, orientation=Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL)
14 self.add(outerbox)
15
16 self.popover = Gtk.Popover()
17 vbox = Gtk.Box(orientation=Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL)
18 vbox.pack_start(Gtk.ModelButton(label="Item 1"), False, True, 10)
19 vbox.pack_start(Gtk.Label(label="Item 2"), False, True, 10)
20 vbox.show_all()
21 self.popover.add(vbox)
22 self.popover.set_position(Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM)
23
24 button = Gtk.MenuButton(label="Click Me", popover=self.popover)
25 outerbox.pack_start(button, False, True, 0)
26
27
28win = PopoverWindow()
29win.connect("destroy", Gtk.main_quit)
30win.show_all()
31Gtk.main()
19.2. Menu Popover¶
A popover can be created from a Gio.MenuModel using
Gtk.Popover.new_from_model() and can be changed after creation with
Gtk.Popover.bind_model().
Passing a Gio.MenuModel as a
menu_model argument to the
Gtk.MenuButton constructor implicitly creates a popover.
