GtkComboGrid 0.0.1

GtkComboGrid is a widget in the GTK library, created and maintained by Andrea Zagli. It combines the functionality of a combo box and a grid, allowing users to select options from a dropdown list presented in a grid format.

To use GtkComboGrid, you first need to create an instance of the widget using the appropriate constructor method in your programming language of choice. Then, you can customize its appearance and behavior by setting various properties and connecting to signals. Finally, you add the GtkComboGrid to your user interface hierarchy and handle user interactions as needed.

Yes, you can populate the GtkComboGrid dynamically. You can use the appropriate methods to add or remove items from the list, set their values or labels, and even customize their appearance using cell renderers. This flexibility allows you to update the content of the GtkComboGrid based on external data or user actions.

GtkComboGrid emits signals when the user selects an item from the dropdown list. You can connect to these signals and provide callbacks to handle the selection events. By handling these signals, you can respond to user choices, update other parts of your application, or perform any desired actions.

Yes, you can customize the appearance of GtkComboGrid by setting various properties such as fonts, colors, paddings, or by using CSS styling. Additionally, you can use the available cell renderers to modify the appearance of individual items within the grid, allowing you to create visually appealing and consistent user interfaces.

Yes, GtkComboGrid is part of the GTK library, which is designed to be cross-platform. It provides an abstraction layer that allows applications to run on multiple operating systems, such as Linux, Windows, and macOS, without significant changes to the code. However, bear in mind that platform-specific behavior and visual styles may still vary slightly.

Yes, GtkComboGrid is documented as part of the official GTK documentation. You can find detailed information about its properties, methods, and signals, along with usage examples, on the GTK website or by consulting the API documentation generated with the GtkComboGrid library.

Yes, there are alternative widgets or approaches for achieving similar functionality. Some possible alternatives in GTK are GtkComboBox (without the grid layout), GtkTreeView (for more complex data presentation), or building a custom solution using other GTK components. The choice depends on specific requirements and design considerations for your application.

GtkComboGrid is part of the GTK3 series. Therefore, you need a version of GTK3 installed in your development environment to work with GtkComboGrid. Make sure you have the required GTK3 runtime libraries and development packages available.

Yes, GtkComboGrid is free and open source software released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). You can use, modify, and distribute GtkComboGrid in both open source and commercial projects as long as you comply with the license requirements.
