Dialog windows or dialogs are an indispensable part of most modern GUI applications. A dialog is defined as a conversation between two or more persons. In a computer application a dialog is a window which is used to "talk" to the application. A dialog is used to input data, modify data, change the application settings etc. Dialogs are important means of communication between a user and a computer program.
GtkMessageDialog
Message dialogs are convenient dialogs that provide messages to the user of the application. The message consists of textual and image data. The
GtkMessageDialogis used to create message dialogs.<?php

class Example extends GtkWindow {
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->init_ui();
}
public function init_ui() {
$this->set_title('GtkMessageDialog');
$this->connect_simple('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit'));
$fixed = new GtkFixed();
$button = new GtkButton("Information");
$button->set_size_request($button->size_request());
$button->connect('clicked', array($this, 'on_clicked'));
$fixed->put($button, 50, 50);
$this->add($fixed);
$this->set_default_size(250, 200);
$this->set_position(GTK::WIN_POS_CENTER);
$this->show_all();
}
public function on_clicked($sender) {
$md = new GtkMessageDialog($this, Gtk::DIALOG_MODAL,
Gtk::MESSAGE_INFO, Gtk::BUTTONS_OK, "Download completed.");
$md->set_title("Information");
$md->run();
$md->destroy();
}
}
new Example();
Gtk::main();
?>
We show a button on the window. When we click on the button, an information message is displayed.
$button = new GtkButton("Information");
This is a button, which will show a dialog, when we click on it.
public function on_clicked($sender) {
$md = new GtkMessageDialog($this, Gtk::DIALOG_MODAL,
Gtk::MESSAGE_INFO, Gtk::BUTTONS_OK, "Download completed.");
$md->set_title("Information");
$md->run();
$md->destroy();
}
If we click on the info button, the Information dialog is displayed. The
Gtk::DIALOG_MODAL flag makes the dialog modal. The Gtk::MESSAGE_INFO specifies the type of the dialog. In our case it is an information dialog. Different icons are chosen for various dialog types. The Gtk::BUTTONS_OK shows the OK button on the dialog. The last parameter is the message displayed. We set the title of the dialog with the set_title() method. The dialog is displayed with the run() method. The programmer must also call either the destroy() or the hide() method in the end.GtkAboutDialog
The
GtkAboutDialog displays information about the application. It can display a logo, the name of the application, version, copyright, website or license information. It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists.<?php

class Example extends GtkWindow {

$this->init_ui();
}
public function init_ui() {
$this->set_title('About Battery');
$this->connect_simple('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit'));
$fixed = new GtkFixed();
$button = new GtkButton("About");
$button->set_size_request(80, 30);
$button->connect('clicked', array($this, 'on_clicked'));

public function on_clicked($sender) {
$about = new GtkAboutDialog();
$about->set_program_name("Battery");
$about->set_version("0.1");
$about->set_copyright("(c) phpgtktutorials.blogspot.in");
$about->set_comments("Battery is a simple tool for battery checking");
$about->set_website("http://phpgtktutorials.blogspot.in/");
$about->set_logo(GdkPixbuf::new_from_file("battery.png"));
$about->run();
$about->destroy();
}
}
new Example();
Gtk::main();
?>
The code example uses a
GtkAboutDialog with some of its features.$about = new GtkAboutDialog();
We create an instance of the
GtkAboutDialog.$about->set_program_name("Battery");
$about->set_version("7.0");
$about->set_copyright("(c) phpgtktutorials.blogspot.in");
Here we specify the name, the version and the copyright of the program.
$about->set_logo(GdkPixbuf::new_from_file("battery.png"));
This line creates a logo.
GtkFontSelectionDialog
The
GtkFontSelectionDialog is a dialog for selecting fonts. It is typically used in applications, that do some text editing or formatting.<?php

class Example extends GtkWindow {
private $label;
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->init_ui();
}
private function init_ui() {
$this->set_title('FontSelectionDialog');
$this->connect_simple('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit'));
$this->set_border_width(10);
$this->label = new GtkLabel("The only victory over love is flight.");
$button = new GtkButton("Select font");
$button->connect('clicked', array($this, 'on_clicked'));
$fixed = new GtkFixed();
$fixed->put($button, 100, 30);
$fixed->put($this->label, 30, 90);
$this->add($fixed);
$this->set_default_size(350, 200);
$this->set_position(GTK::WIN_POS_CENTER);
$this->show_all();
}
public function on_clicked($sender) {
$fdia = new GtkFontSelectionDialog("Select font name");
$response = $fdia->run();
if ($response == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK) {
$font_desc = new PangoFontDescription($fdia->get_font_name());
print($fdia->get_font_name());
if ($font_desc) {
$this->label->modify_font($font_desc);
}
}
$fdia->destroy();
}
}
new Example();
Gtk::main();
?>
In the code example, we have a button and a label. We show the
GtkFontSelectionDialog by clicking on the button.$fdia = new GtkFontSelectionDialog("Select font name");
We create the GtkFontSelectionDialog.if ($response == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK) {
$font_desc = new PangoFontDescription($fdia->get_font_name());
print($fdia->get_font_name());
if ($font_desc) {
$this->label->modify_font($font_desc);
}
}
If we click on the OK button, the font of the label widget changes to the one, that we selected in the dialog.GtkColorSelectionDialog
The
GtkFontSelectionDialog is a dialog for selecting colors.<?php

class Example extends GtkWindow {
private $label;
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->init_ui();
}
private function init_ui() {
$this->set_title('GtkColorSelectionDialog');
$this->connect_simple('destroy', array('gtk', 'main_quit'));
$this->set_border_width(10);
$this->label = new GtkLabel("The only victory over love is flight.");
$button = new GtkButton("Select color");
$button->connect('clicked', array($this, 'on_clicked'));
$fixed = new GtkFixed();
$fixed->put($button, 100, 30);
$fixed->put($this->label, 30, 90);
$this->add($fixed);
$this->set_default_size(350, 200);
$this->set_position(GTK::WIN_POS_CENTER);
$this->show_all();
}
public function on_clicked($sender) {
$cdia = new GtkColorSelectionDialog("Select color");
$response = $cdia->run();
if ($response == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK) {
$colorsel = $cdia->colorsel;
$color = $colorsel->get_current_color();
$this->label->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, $color);
}
$cdia->destroy();
}
}
new Example();
Gtk::main();
?>
The example is very similar to the previous one. This time we change the color of the label.
$cdia = new GtkColorSelectionDialog("Select color");
$response = $cdia->run();
We create and run the GtkFontSelectionDialog.if ($response == Gtk::RESPONSE_OK) {
$colorsel = $cdia->colorsel;
$color = $colorsel->get_current_color();
$this->label->modify_fg(Gtk::STATE_NORMAL, $color);
}
If the user presses OK, we get the color value and modify the label's color.
