Implemented Interfaces

GtkPrintUnixDialog implements GtkAccessible, GtkBuildable, GtkConstraintTarget, GtkNative, GtkShortcutManager and GtkRoot.

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:

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 type="GtkNotebookPage">
          <property name="tab_expand">False</property>
          <property name="tab_fill">False</property>
          <property name="tab">
            <object class="GtkLabel" id="tablabel">
              <property name="label">Tab label</property>
            </object>
          </property>
          <property name="child">
            <object class="GtkLabel" id="tabcontent">
              <property name="label">Content on notebook tab</property>
            </object>
          </property>
        </object>
      </child>
    </object>
  </child>
</object>

CSS nodes

GtkPrintUnixDialog has a single CSS node with name window. The style classes dialog and print are added.
