Problem You would like to create rollover effect for buttons, that is, when the mouse is over a button, the color of the button will change to a different color as shown below:

Solution
- In PHP-GTK2, the rollover state is called the PRELIGHT state.
- To create the rollover effect, we simply set a different background color for the Gtk::STATE_PRELIGHT state.
Sample Code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
| <?php $window = new GtkWindow(); $window->set_size_request(400, 150); $window->connect_simple('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit')); $window->add($vbox = new GtkVBox());
// display title
$title = new GtkLabel("Rollover effect for buttons - Part 1"); $title->modify_font(new PangoFontDescription("Times New Roman Italic 10")); $title->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, GdkColor::parse("#0000ff")); $title->set_size_request(-1, 40); $vbox->pack_start($title, 0, 0); $vbox->pack_start(new GtkLabel(), 0);
$vbox->pack_start($hbox = new GtkHBox(), 0); setup_button($hbox, 'button 1'); setup_button($hbox, 'button 2'); setup_button($hbox, 'button 3');
$window->show_all(); Gtk::main();
function setup_button($container, $button_label) { $button = new GtkButton($button_label); $container->pack_start($button, 0);
