Class: ToolButton (gtk.ToolButton)
Sugar tool buttons can be added to toolbars and used to control various activity processes. Some common tool button tasks are outlined below.
How do I create my own custom tool button?
There are several steps you need to follow in order to create a tool button:
- Import the ToolButton class from the sugar.graphics.toolbutton package.
- If you intend to have an icon for your tool button, then create an "icons" directory in your activity directory and put the icon (which is a .svg file) in to that directory. For example, the code below uses an icon called "edit-custom" that accesses an edit-custom.svg file saved in the icons directory for the activity.
- Use the code below to guide you on how to then create your button programmatically and add it to a tool bar (we add it to an EditToolbar object that was presumably created already in our code).
from sugar.graphics.toolbutton import ToolButton
...
#### CUSTOM TOOL BUTTON
#Create a custom tool button and add it to the edit toolbar
customButton = ToolButton('edit-custom')
customButton.set_tooltip(_('Custom'))
self._edit_toolbar.insert(customButton, -1)
customButton.show()
