## Description

GtkToolButtons are GtkToolItems containing buttons.

Use `gtk_tool_button_new()` to create a new GtkToolButton.

The label of a GtkToolButton is determined by the properties "label-widget", "label", and "stock-id". If "label-widget" is non-`NULL`, then that widget is used as the label. Otherwise, if "label" is non-`NULL`, that string is used as the label. Otherwise, if "stock-id" is non-`NULL`, the label is determined by the stock item. Otherwise, the button does not have a label.

The icon of a GtkToolButton is determined by the properties "icon-widget" and "stock-id". If "icon-widget" is non-`NULL`, then that widget is used as the icon. Otherwise, if "stock-id" is non-`NULL`, the icon is determined by the stock item. Otherwise, the button does not have a icon.

### struct GtkToolButton

    struct GtkToolButton;

### gtk_tool_button_new ()

    GtkToolItem *       gtk_tool_button_new                 (GtkWidget *icon_widget,
                                                             const gchar *label);

Creates a new `GtkToolButton` using `icon_widget` as contents and `label` as label.

`label` : | a string that will be used as label, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
`icon_widget` : | a widget that will be used as the button contents, or `NULL`. [allow-none]
Returns : | A new GtkToolButton

Since 2.4

### gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock ()

    GtkToolItem *       gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock      (const gchar *stock_id);

### Warning

`gtk_tool_button_new_from_stock` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_tool_button_new()` instead.

Creates a new GtkToolButton containing the image and text from a stock item. Some stock ids have preprocessor macros like GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_APPLY.

It is an error if `stock_id` is not a name of a stock item.

`stock_id` : | the name of the stock item
Returns : | A new GtkToolButton

Since 2.4

### gtk_tool_button_set_label ()

    void                gtk_tool_button_set_label           (GtkToolButton *button,
                                                             const gchar *label);

Sets `label` as the label used for the tool button. The "label" property only has an effect if not overridden by a non-`NULL` "label_widget" property. If both the "label_widget" and "label" properties are `NULL`, the label is determined by the "stock_id" property. If the "stock_id" property is also `NULL`, `button` will not have a label.

`button` : | a GtkToolButton
`label` : | a string that will be used as label, or `NULL`. [allow-none]

Since 2.4

### gtk_tool_button_get_label ()

    const gchar *       gtk_tool_button_get_label           (GtkToolButton *button);

Returns the label used by the tool button, or `NULL` if the tool button doesn't have a label. or uses a the label from a stock item. The returned string is owned by GTK+, and must not be modified or freed.

`button` : | a GtkToolButton
Returns : | The label, or `NULL`

Since 2.4

### gtk_tool_button_set_use_underline ()

    void                gtk_tool_button_set_use_underline   (GtkToolButton *button,

If set, an underline in the label property indicates that the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key in the overflow menu. For example, if the label property is "_Open" and `use_underline` is `TRUE`, the label on the tool button will be "Open" and the item on the overflow menu will have an underlined 'O'.

Labels shown on tool buttons never have mnemonics on them; this property only affects the menu item on the overflow menu.

`button` : | a GtkToolButton
`use_underline` : | whether the button label has the form "_Open"

Since 2.4

### gtk_tool_button_get_use_underline ()

    gboolean            gtk_tool_button_get_use_underline   (GtkToolButton *button);

Returns whether underscores in the label property are used as mnemonics on menu items on the overflow menu. See `gtk_tool_button_set_use_underline()`.

`button` : | a GtkToolButton
Returns : | `TRUE` if underscores in the label property are used as mnemonics on menu items on the overflow menu.

Since 2.4
