Class Details¶

class Gtk.Assistant(*args, **kwargs)¶

Bases:	`Gtk.Window`
Abstract:	No
Structure:	`Gtk.AssistantClass`

A Gtk.Assistant is a widget used to represent a generally complex operation splitted in several steps, guiding the user through its pages and controlling the page flow to collect the necessary data.

The design of Gtk.Assistant is that it controls what buttons to show and to make sensitive, based on what it knows about the page sequence and the type of each page, in addition to state information like the page completion and committed status.

If you have a case that doesn’t quite fit in Gtk.Assistants way of handling buttons, you can use the Gtk.AssistantPageType.CUSTOM page type and handle buttons yourself.

Gtk.Assistant as Gtk.Buildable

The Gtk.Assistant implementation of the Gtk.Buildable interface exposes the action_area as internal children with the name “action_area”.

To add pages to an assistant in Gtk.Builder, simply add it as a child to the Gtk.Assistant object, and set its child properties as necessary.

CSS nodes

Gtk.Assistant has a single CSS node with the name assistant.

Sets the page forwarding function to be page_func.

This function will be used to determine what will be the next page when the user presses the forward button. Setting page_func to None will make the assistant to use the default forward function, which just goes to the next visible page.

New in version 2.10.

set_page_complete(page, complete)[source]¶

Signal Details¶

Gtk.Assistant.signals.apply(assistant)¶

Signal Name:	`apply`
Flags:	`RUN_LAST`
Parameters:	assistant (`Gtk.Assistant`) – The object which received the signal

The ::apply signal is emitted when the apply button is clicked.

The default behavior of the Gtk.Assistant is to switch to the page after the current page, unless the current page is the last one.

A handler for the ::apply signal should carry out the actions for which the wizard has collected data. If the action takes a long time to complete, you might consider putting a page of type Gtk.AssistantPageType.PROGRESS after the confirmation page and handle this operation within the Gtk.Assistant ::prepare signal of the progress page.

New in version 2.10.

Gtk.Assistant.signals.cancel(assistant)¶

Signal Name:	`cancel`
Flags:	`RUN_LAST`
Parameters:	assistant (`Gtk.Assistant`) – The object which received the signal

The ::cancel signal is emitted when then the cancel button is clicked.

New in version 2.10.

Gtk.Assistant.signals.close(assistant)¶

Signal Name:	`close`
Flags:	`RUN_LAST`
Parameters:	assistant (`Gtk.Assistant`) – The object which received the signal

The ::close signal is emitted either when the close button of a summary page is clicked, or when the apply button in the last page in the flow (of type Gtk.AssistantPageType.CONFIRM) is clicked.

New in version 2.10.

Gtk.Assistant.signals.escape(assistant)¶

Signal Name:	`escape`
Flags:	`RUN_FIRST`, `ACTION`
Parameters:	assistant (`Gtk.Assistant`) – The object which received the signal

Gtk.Assistant.signals.prepare(assistant, page)¶

Signal Name:	`prepare`
Flags:	`RUN_LAST`
Parameters:	assistant (`Gtk.Assistant`) – The object which received the signal page (`Gtk.Widget`) – the current page

The ::prepare signal is emitted when a new page is set as the assistant’s current page, before making the new page visible.

A handler for this signal can do any preparations which are necessary before showing page.

New in version 2.10.

Property Details¶

Gtk.Assistant.props.use_header_bar¶

Name:	`use-header-bar`
Type:	`int`
Default Value:	`-1`
Flags:	`READABLE`, `WRITABLE`, `CONSTRUCT_ONLY`

True if the assistant uses a Gtk.HeaderBar for action buttons instead of the action-area.

For technical reasons, this property is declared as an integer property, but you should only set it to True or False.

New in version 3.12.
