25 This module provides simple utility functions useful for Gnome2/Gtk2
26 Perl programming.

32 :main
33 process_pending_events ( )
34 For all pending events, run through the main loop once. Useful for
35 long processes to update the user interface.
36 process_main_exit ( [ EXIT_VALUE ] )
38 This will quit the main event loop after all pending events have
39 been given a run through the main loop one last time. Once the UI
40 work is done, exit with the value given or zero. Should the exit
41 value passed be the string 'no-exit', the function will return TRUE
42 instead of exiting.
43 :alter
45 DOUBLE = force_progress_bounds ( DOUBLE )
46 Used with Gtk2 progress bars to ensure a given value is within the
47 0.00 to 1.00 bounds for valid percentages. This function will
48 modify invalid values appropriately to either 0.00 or 1.00 should
49 the value be out of bounds.
50 Gtk2::Label = make_label_wrap_left_centred ( Gtk2::Label )
52 Given a Gtk2::Label will center the alignment, left justify the
53 text, make the label selectable and make the label wrap lines.
54 :create
56 Gtk2::Button = create_mnemonic_icon_button ( ICON, STRING )
57 This will create a new Gtk2::Button, a Gtk2::Image and a label then
58 pack the image and label into an hbox inside the button. The label
59 is new_with_mnemonic and the ICON given can be one of the following
60 types: a stock-id string, the path to an image file, a Gtk2::Image
61 object or a Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf object. The button has references to
62 the three components as follows: $button->{HBOX}, $button->{LABEL}
63 and $button->{IMAGE}.
