Inheritance diagram for Gtk::AboutDialog:

[legend]
List of all members.

## Detailed Description

The AboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license.

It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional.

About dialogs often contain links and email addresses. Gtk::AboutDialog supports this by offering global hooks, which are called when the user clicks on a link or email address, see set_email_hook() and set_url_hook(). Email addresses in the authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for <user>, URLs are recognized by looking for http://url, with the URL extending to the next space, tab or line break.

## Public Types

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | authors | A `0`-terminated array of strings.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_comments | ( | const Glib::ustring & | comments | ) |

Sets the comments string to display in the about dialog.

This should be a short string of one or two lines.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | comments | A comments string.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_copyright | ( | const Glib::ustring & | copyright | ) |

Sets the copyright string to display in the about dialog.

This should be a short string of one or two lines.

Parameters:

  | copyright | The copyright string.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_documenters | ( | const Glib::StringArrayHandle & | documenters | ) |

Sets the strings which are displayed in the documenters tab of the secondary credits dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | documenters | A `0`-terminated array of strings.

static void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_email_hook | ( | const SlotActivateLink& | slot | ) | `[static]`

Installs a global callback to be called whenever the user activates an email link in an about dialog.

Parameters:

  | slot | A function or method to call when an email link is activated.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_license | ( | const Glib::ustring & | license | ) |

Sets the license information to be displayed in the secondary license dialog.

If license is `0`, the license button is hidden.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | license | The license information or `0`.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf>& | logo | ) |

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is `0`, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | logo | A Gdk::Pixbuf, or `0`.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_logo_icon_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | icon_name | ) |

Sets the pixbuf to be displayed as logo in the about dialog.

If it is `0`, the default window icon set with Gtk::Window::set_default_icon() will be used.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | icon_name | An icon name, or `0`.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Sets the name to display in the about dialog.

If this is not set, it defaults to Glib::get_application_name().

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Deprecated : 2.12: Use set_program_name() instead.

Parameters:

  | name | The program name.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Widget.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_program_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Sets the name to display in the about dialog.

If this is not set, it defaults to Glib::get_application_name().

  | name | The program name.

void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_translator_credits | ( | const Glib::ustring & | translator_credits | ) |

Sets the translator credits string which is displayed in the translators tab of the secondary credits dialog.

The intended use for this string is to display the translator of the language which is currently used in the user interface. Using gettext(), a simple way to achieve that is to mark the string for translation:

     gtk_about_dialog_set_translator_credits (about, _("translator-credits"));

It is a good idea to use the customary msgid "translator-credits" for this purpose, since translators will already know the purpose of that msgid, and since Gtk::AboutDialog will detect if "translator-credits" is untranslated and hide the tab.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

  | translator_credits | The translator credits.

static void Gtk::AboutDialog::set_url_hook | ( | const SlotActivateLink& | slot | ) | `[static]`

Installs a global callback to be called whenever the user activates a URL link in an about dialog.
