Implemented Interfaces

GtkPrintUnixDialog implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtkunixprint.h>

Description

GtkPrintUnixDialog implements a print dialog for platforms which don’t provide a native print dialog, like Unix. It can be used very much like any other GTK+ dialog, at the cost of the portability offered by the high-level printing API

In order to print something with GtkPrintUnixDialog, you need to use gtk_print_unix_dialog_get_selected_printer() to obtain a GtkPrinter object and use it to construct a GtkPrintJob using gtk_print_job_new().

GtkPrintUnixDialog uses the following response values:

Printing support was added in GTK+ 2.10.

GtkPrintUnixDialog as GtkBuildable

The GtkPrintUnixDialog implementation of the GtkBuildable interface exposes its notebook internal children with the name “notebook”.

An example of a GtkPrintUnixDialog UI definition fragment:

<object class="GtkPrintUnixDialog" id="dialog1">
  <child internal-child="notebook">
    <object class="GtkNotebook" id="notebook">
      <child>
        <object class="GtkLabel" id="tabcontent">
        <property name="label">Content on notebook tab</property>
        </object>
      </child>
      <child type="tab">
        <object class="GtkLabel" id="tablabel">
          <property name="label">Tab label</property>
        </object>
        <packing>
          <property name="tab_expand">False</property>
          <property name="tab_fill">False</property>
        </packing>
      </child>
    </object>
  </child>
</object>

CSS nodes

GtkPrintUnixDialog has a single CSS node with name printdialog.
