## Description

A `gtk.Toolbar` is a subclass of `gtk.Container` that holds and manages a set of buttons and widgets in a horizontal or vertical bar. A `gtk.Toolbar` is usually used in an application as an alternative to a menu to provide a more direct means to activate dialogs or set options. Items in the toolbar can be visibly grouped by adding space between the elements. The toolbar style can be set to display only icons, only text or both icons and text. Each toolbar item has an associated `gtk.Tooltips` to provide a brief description of the items purpose.

In `PyGTK` 2.4 the interface of the `gtk.Toolbar` has changed to take advantage of the new `gtk.ToolItem` widgets. The following describes the new features.

A toolbar can contain instances of a subclass of `gtk.ToolItem` (`gtk.ToolButton`, `gtk.RadioToolButton`, `gtk.ToggleToolButton` and `gtk.SeparatorToolItem`). To add a `gtk.ToolItem` to the a toolbar, use the `insert`() method. To remove an item from the toolbar use the `gtk.Container.remove`() method. To add a button to the toolbar, add an instance of `gtk.ToolButton`. Toolbar items can be visually grouped by adding instances of `gtk.SeparatorToolItem` to the toolbar. If a `gtk.SeparatorToolItem` has the "expand" property set to `True` and the "draw" property set to `False` the effect is to force all following items to the end of the toolbar. Creating a context menu for the toolbar can be done by connecting to the "popup-context-menu" signal.

## Constructor

        gtk.Toolbar()

Returns : | a new `gtk.Toolbar` widget

Creates a new `gtk.Toolbar` widget.

## Methods

### gtk.Toolbar.insert

        def insert(item, pos)

`item` : | a `gtk.ToolItem`
`pos` : | the position of the new item

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `insert`() method inserts the `gtk.ToolItem` specified by `item` into the toolbar at the position specified by `pos`. If `pos` is 0 `item` is prepended to the start of the toolbar. If `pos` is negative, `item` is appended to the end of the toolbar.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_item_index

        def get_item_index(item)

`item` : | a `gtk.ToolItem` that is a child of the toolbar
Returns : | the position of item on the toolbar.

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_item_index`() method returns the position (starting from 0) on the toolbar of the `gtk.ToolItem` specified by `item`. It is an error if `item` is not a child of the toolbar.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_n_items

        def get_n_items()

Returns : | the number of items on the toolbar

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_n_items`() method returns the number of items on the toolbar.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_nth_item

        def get_nth_item(n)

`n` : | a position on the toolbar
Returns : | The `gtk.ToolItem` on the toolbar at position `n`, or `None` if there isn't an item at position `n`

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_nth_item`() method returns the toolbar `gtk.ToolItem` at the position specified by `n`, or `None` if the toolbar does not contain an item at position `n`.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_drop_index

        def get_drop_index(x, y)

`x` : | the x coordinate of a point on the toolbar
`y` : | the y coordinate of a point on the toolbar
Returns : | The toolbar position corresponding to the point (`x`, `y`).

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_drop_index`() method returns the position on the toolbar corresponding to the point specified by `x` and `y`. This is useful when dragging items to the toolbar. This method returns the position index where a new item should be inserted.

The `x` and `y` coordinates are relative to the toolbar.

### gtk.Toolbar.set_drop_highlight_item

        def set_drop_highlight_item(tool_item, index)

`tool_item` : | a `gtk.ToolItem`, or `None` to turn off highlighting
`index` : | a position index on the toolbar

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `set_drop_highlight_item`() method highlights the toolbar to give an idea of what it would look like if the `gtk.ToolItem` specified by `tool_item` was added at the position specified by `index`. If `tool_item` is `None`, highlighting is turned off and `index` is ignored.

The `tool_item` passed to this method must not be part of any widget hierarchy. When an item is set as drop highlight item it can not added to any widget hierarchy or used as highlight item for another toolbar.

### gtk.Toolbar.set_show_arrow

        def set_show_arrow(show_arrow)

`show_arrow` : | if `True`, show an arrow to indicate menu overflow

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `set_show_arrow`() method sets the "show-arrow" property to the value of `show_arrow`. If `show_arrow` is `True` an arrow is displayed (for an overflow menu) when the toolbar doesn't have room for all items on it. Items that are not displayed due to a lack of room are available through the overflow menu.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_show_arrow

        def get_show_arrow()

Returns : | `True` if an overflow menu can be used

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_show_arrow`() method returns the value of the "show-arrow" property. If "show-arrow" is `True` the toolbar has an overflow menu. See the `set_show_arrow()` method for more information.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_relief_style

        def get_relief_style()

Returns : | the relief style of buttons on the toolbar

### Note

This method is available in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `get_relief_style`() method returns the relief style of buttons on the toolbar. See the `gtk.Button.set_relief()` method for more information. The return value will be one of:

- `gtk.RELIEF_NORMAL`

A `gtk.ToolItem` label will not be displayed if the toolbar style is `gtk.TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ` and the `gtk.ToolItem` "is-important" property is `False` (the default). See the `gtk.ToolItem.set_is_important`() method for more information.

### gtk.Toolbar.set_icon_size

        def set_icon_size(icon_size)

`icon_size` : | The size of stock icons in the toolbar - one of: `gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU`, `gtk.ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR`, `gtk.ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR`, `gtk.ICON_SIZE_BUTTON`, `gtk.ICON_SIZE_DND` or `gtk.ICON_SIZE_DIALOG`

### Warning

This method is deprecated in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `set_icon_size`() method sets the size of stock icons in the toolbar to the value specified by `icon_size`. The value of `icon_size` must be one of:

- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU`
- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_SMALL_TOOLBAR`
- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR`
- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_BUTTON`
- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_DND`, or
- `gtk.ICON_SIZE_DIALOG`

This method can be called both before and after adding the icons. Setting the icon size will override the user preferences for the default icon size.

### gtk.Toolbar.set_tooltips

        def set_tooltips(enable)

`enable` : | if `True` tooltips should be used

The `set_tooltips`() method enables or disables tooltips for the toolbar depending on the value of `enable`. If `enable` is `True`, tooltips will be used.

### gtk.Toolbar.unset_style

        def unset_style()

The `unset_style`() method unsets a toolbar style set with the `set_style`() method, allowing the user preferences to determine the toolbar style.

### gtk.Toolbar.unset_icon_size

        def unset_icon_size()

### Warning

This method is deprecated in PyGTK 2.4 and above

The `unset_icon_size`() method unsets toolbar icon size set with the `set_icon_size`(), allowing the user preferences to determine the icon size.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_orientation

        def get_orientation()

Returns : | the orientation

The `get_orientation`() method returns the value of the "orientation" property that determines the current orientation of the toolbar. See the `set_orientation`() method for more details.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_style

        def get_style()

Returns : | the current toolbar style

The `get_style`() method returns the value of the "toolbar-style" property. See the `set_style`() method for more details.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_icon_size

        def get_icon_size()

Returns : | the current icon size for the icons on the toolbar.

The `get_icon_size`() method returns the current icon size for the toolbar. See the `set_icon_size`() method for more details.

### gtk.Toolbar.get_tooltips

        def get_tooltips()

Returns : | `True` if tooltips are enabled

The `get_tooltips`() method returns `True` if tooltips are enabled. See the `set_tooltips`() method for more details.

## Signals

### The "focus-home-or-end" gtk.Toolbar Signal

        def callback(toolbar, focus_home, user_param1, ...)

`toolbar` : | the `gtk.Toolbar` which emitted the signal the object which received the signal.
`focus_home` : | `True` if the first item should be focused
`user_param1` : | the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` : | additional user parameters (if any)
Returns : | `True` if the signal was handled, `False` if not

A keybinding signal used internally by GTK+. This signal can't be used in application code

### The "move-focus" gtk.Toolbar Signal

        def callback(toolbar, dir, arg1, user_param1, ...)

`toolbar` : | the `gtk.Toolbar` which emitted the signal the object which received the signal.
`dir` : | one of the GTK Direction Type Constants
`user_param1` : | the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` : | additional user parameters (if any)
Returns : | `True` if the signal was handled, `False` if not

A keybinding signal used internally by GTK+. This signal can't be used in application code.

### The "orientation-changed" gtk.Toolbar Signal

        def callback(toolbar, orientation, user_param1, ...)

`toolbar` : | the toolbar that received the signal
`orientation` : | the new orientation
`user_param1` : | the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` : | additional user parameters (if any)

The "orientation-changed" signal is emitted when the `orientation` of `toolbar` is changed.

### The "popup-context-menu" gtk.Toolbar Signal

        def callback(toolbar, x, y, button, user_param1, ...)

`toolbar` : | the toolbar that received the signal
`x` : | the x coordinate of the mouse event
`y` : | the u coordinate of the mouse event
`button` : | the number of the mouse button
`user_param1` : | the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` : | additional user parameters (if any)
Returns : | `True` if the signal was handled

### Note

This signal is available in GTK+ 2.4 and above.

The "popup-context-menu" signal is emitted when the user right-clicks the toolbar or uses the keybinding to display a popup menu. Application developers should handle this signal if they want to display a context menu on the toolbar. The context-menu should appear at the coordinates given by `x` and `y`. The mouse button number is given by the `button` parameter. If the menu was popped up using the keyboard, `button` is -1.

### The "style-changed" gtk.Toolbar Signal

        def callback(toolbar, style, user_param1, ...)

`toolbar` : | the toolbar that received the signal
`style` : | the new style
`user_param1` : | the first user parameter (if any) specified with the `connect`() method
`...` : | additional user parameters (if any)

The "style-changed" signal is emitted when the `style` of `toolbar` is changed.
