<h4 class="subsection">16.5.7 Adding tool bar buttons</h4>
<p><a name="index-tool-bar-808"></a><a name="index-g_t_003cbutton_003e-809"></a><a name="index-g_t_003centry_003e-810"></a><!-- -->
<p class="noindent">As an alternative to creating new menu items, you can create new
buttons on the tool bar, with a similar syntax, by using
the <code><button></code> tag. As for the <code><menu></code> tag, it requires an
<code>action</code> attribute which specifies what should be done when the button
is pressed. The button is not created if no such action was created.
<p><a name="index-jpeg-811"></a><a name="index-png-812"></a><a name="index-gif-813"></a><a name="index-xpm-814"></a>Within this tag, the tag <code><pixmap></code> can be used to indicate
the location of an image file (of the type <code>jpeg, png, gif</code>
or <code>xpm</code>) to be used as icon for the button. An empty
<code><button></code> tag indicates a separator in the tool bar.
<p>A title can also be specified with <code><title></code>. This will be visible only
if the user choses to see both text and icons (or text only) in the tool bar.
This title also acts as a tooltip (popup help message) when the button is
displayed as an icon only.
<p>The following example defines a new button:
<pre class="smallexample"> <?xml version="1.0" ?>
<stats>
<button action="execute my stats">
<title>stats</title>
<pixmap>/my_pixmaps/button.jpg</pixmap>
</button>
</stats>
</pre>
<p>The <code><button></code> tag allows you to create a simple button that the user
can press to start an action. GPS also supports another type of button,
a combo box, from which the user can choose among a list of choices. Such
a combo box can be created with the <code><entry></code> tag.
<p>This tag accepts the following arguments:
<dl>
<dt><code>id (mandatory)</code><dd>
This should be a unique id for this combo box, and will be used later on
to refer it, in particular from the scripting languages. It can be any
string
<br><dt><code>label (default is "")</code><dd>
The text of a label to display on the left of the combo box. If this isn't
specified, no text will be displayed
<br><dt><code>on-changed (default is "")</code><dd>
The name of a GPS action to execute whenever the user selects a new value
in the combo box. This action is called with two parameters, the unique id
of the combo box and the newly selected text respectively.
</dl>
<p>It also accepts any number of <code><choice></code> tags, each of which defines
one of the values the user can choose from. These tags accepts one optional
attribute, "on-selected", which is the name of a GPS action to call when
that particular value is selected.
<pre class="smallexample"> <action name="animal_changed">
<shell>echo A new animal was selected in combo $1: animal is $2</shell>
</action>
<action name="gnu-selected">
<shell>echo Congratulations on choosing a Gnu</shell>
</action>
<entry id="foo" label="Animal" on-changed="animal_changed">
<choice>Elephant</choice>
<choice on-selected="gnu-selected">Gnu</choice>
</entry>
</pre>
<p>A more convenient interface exists for Python, the GPS.Toolbar class, which
gives you the same flexibility as above, but also gives you dynamic control
over the entry, and allows placement of buttons at arbitrary positions in
the toolbar. See the python documentation.
