Gnome::Gtk3::Spinner

Show a spinner animation

Description

A Gnome::Gtk3::Spinner widget displays an icon-size spinning animation. It is often used as an alternative to a Gnome::Gtk3::ProgressBar for displaying indefinite activity, instead of actual progress.

To start the animation, use gtk_spinner_start(), to stop it use gtk_spinner_stop().

Css Nodes

Gnome::Gtk3::Spinner has a single CSS node with the name spinner. When the animation is active, the checked pseudoclass is added to this node.

Properties

An example of using a string type property of a Gnome::Gtk3::Label object. This is just showing how to set/read a property, not that it is the best way to do it. This is because a) The class initialization often provides some options to set some of the properties and b) the classes provide many methods to modify just those properties. In the case below one can use new(:label(‘my text label’)) or gtk_label_set_text(‘my text label’).

my Gnome::Gtk3::Label $label .= new;
my Gnome::GObject::Value $gv .= new(:init(G_TYPE_STRING));
$label.g-object-get-property( 'label', $gv);
$gv.g-value-set-string('my text label');

Supported properties

Active

Whether the spinner is active Default value: False

The Gnome::GObject::Value type of property active is G_TYPE_BOOLEAN.
