Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog -- toolitem overflowing to a dialog
use Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog;
my $toolitem = Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog->new
(child_widget => $widget);
Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog is a subclass of
Gtk2::ToolItem,
Gtk2::Widget
Gtk2::Container
Gtk2::Bin
Gtk2::ToolItem
Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog
This ToolItem displays a given child widget in the usual way, and makes an overflow menu item to display it in a dialog if the toolbar is full.

This ensures a toolitem is always available to the user, if you don't have a
better idea for an overflow. It's quite well suited to widgets with a lot
of state, such as Gtk2::Entry, as it's the one child widget presented in
two places.
For buttons or check box type children usually it's better to have the overflow menu item just act directly on the child, like the usual Gtk2::ToolButton, Gtk2::ToggleToolButton and Gtk2::RadioToolButton. Or for instance Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::ComboEnum does a menu item with sub-menu.
The dialog works by reparenting the child widget to the dialog then putting it back to the toolitem when closed, unmapped, or destroyed.
If the dialog is open and the toolbar becomes big enough to show the toolitem, then the dialog is not immediately popped down. This seems most sensible for the user, in particular as it's not easy to be sure the child would be visible if put back, and if the toolbar size is jumping about then the user won't be pleased to have the dialog taken away but the item not visible.
Due to the reparenting, the child widget isn't in the usual container
$toolitem->get_child (or get_children, foreach, etc). The
child-widget property is always the child, wherever it's been reparented.
Care should be taken in any signal handlers in the child not to assume that
get_parent or get_ancestor will give the toolbar or main window etc.
Gtk2::Ex::ToolItem::OverflowToDialog->new (key=>value,...)Create and return a new toolitem widget. Optional key/value pairs set
initial properties as per Glib::Object->new.
child-widget (Gtk2::Widget, default undef)The child widget to show in the toolitem or dialog.
The usual Gtk2::Container child property sets this too. But child
is write-only and can only store into an empty ToolItem, whereas
child-widget is read/write and setting it replaces any existing child
widget.
The usual container $toolitem->add($widget) sets the child widget
too, but again only into an empty ToolItem.
overflow-mnemonic (string, default undef)A mnemonic string to show in the overflow menu item. It should have "_" underscores like "_Foo" with the "_F" meaning the "F" can be pressed to select the item. (Double underscore "__" is a literal underscore.)
The ToolItem sensitive property is propagated to the overflow menu item
and to the dialog's child area. (But the dialog close button is always
sensitive.) Setting insensitive just on the child widget works too, but
will leave the menu item sensitive. It's probably better to make the whole
toolitem insensitive so the menu item is disabled too.
The ToolItem tooltip-text property (new in Gtk 2.12) is copied to the
dialog's child area. A tooltip can also be put just on the child widget
too.
