Segment control widget is a horizontal control made of multiple segment items, each segment item functioning similar to discrete two state button. A segment control groups the items together and provides compact single button with multiple equal size segments.

Segment item size is determined by base widget size and the number of items added. Only one segment item can be at selected state. A segment item can display combination of Text and any Evas_Object like Images or other widget.

This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for segment control objects.

This widget emits the following signals, besides the ones sent from Layout:

  • "changed" - When the user clicks on a segment item which is not previously selected and get selected. The event_info parameter is the segment item pointer.
  • "language,changed" - the program's language changed (since 1.9)

Available styles for it:

  • "default"

Default content parts of the segment control items that you can use for are:

  • "icon" - An icon in a segment control item

Default text parts of the segment control items that you can use for are:

  • "default" - A title label in a segment control item

Function Documentation

Add a new segment control widget to the given parent Elementary (container) object.

Since :
2.3
Parameters:
[in]parentThe parent object.
Returns:
a new segment control widget handle or NULL, on errors.
Remarks:
This function inserts a new segment control widget on the canvas.
Elm_Object_Item* elm_segment_control_item_add ( Elm_Segment_Control *  obj,
Evas_Object icon,
const char *  label 
)

Append a new item to the segment control object.

Since :
2.3
Returns:
The created item or NULL upon failure.
Remarks:
A new item will be created and appended to the segment control, i.e., will be set as last item.
If it should be inserted at another position, elm_segment_control_item_insert_at() should be used instead.
Items created with this function can be deleted with function elm_object_item_del() or elm_object_item_del_at().
label set to NULL is different from empty string "". If an item only has icon, it will be displayed bigger and centered. If it has icon and label, even that an empty string, icon will be smaller and positioned at left.
See also:
elm_segment_control_item_insert_at()
elm_object_item_del()
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control object
[in]iconThe icon object to use for the left side of the item. An icon can be any Evas object, but usually it is an icon created with elm_icon_add().
[in]labelThe label of the item. Note that, NULL is different from empty string "".
int elm_segment_control_item_count_get ( const Elm_Segment_Control *  obj)

Get the Segment items count from segment control.

Since :
2.3
Returns:
Segment items count.
Remarks:
It will just return the number of items added to segment control obj.
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control object
void elm_segment_control_item_del_at ( Elm_Segment_Control *  obj,
int  idx 
)

Remove a segment control item at given index from its parent, deleting it.

Since :
2.3
Remarks:
Items can be added with elm_segment_control_item_add() or elm_segment_control_item_insert_at().
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control object
[in]idxThe position of the segment control item to be deleted.
Elm_Object_Item* elm_segment_control_item_get ( const Elm_Segment_Control *  obj,
int  idx 
)

Get the item placed at specified index.

Since :
2.3
Returns:
The segment control item or NULL on failure.
Remarks:
Index is the position of an item in segment control widget. Its range is from 0 to count - 1 . Count is the number of items, that can be get with elm_segment_control_item_count_get().
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control object
[in]idxThe index of the segment item.
Evas_Object* elm_segment_control_item_icon_get ( const Elm_Segment_Control *  obj,
int  idx 
)

Get the icon associated to the item.

Since :
2.3
Returns:
The left side icon associated to the item at index.
Remarks:
The return value is a pointer to the icon associated to the item when it was created, with function elm_segment_control_item_add(), or later with function elm_object_item_part_content_set(). If no icon was passed as argument, it will return NULL.
See also:
elm_segment_control_item_add()
elm_object_item_part_content_set()
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control object
[in]idxThe index of the segment item.
int elm_segment_control_item_index_get ( const Elm_Segment_Control_Item *  obj)

Get the index of an item.

Since :
2.3
Remarks:
Index is the position of an item in segment control widget. Its range is from 0 to count - 1 . Count is the number of items, that can be get with elm_segment_control_item_count_get().
Returns:
The position of item in segment control widget.
Parameters:
[in]objThe elm segment control item object
Elm_Object_Item* elm_segment_control_item_insert_at ( Elm_Segment_Control *  obj,
Evas_Object icon,
const char *  label,
int  idx 
)

Insert a new item to the segment control object at specified position.

Since :
2.3
Returns:
The created item or NULL upon failure.
Remarks:
Index values must be between 0, when item will be prepended to segment control, and items count, that can be get with elm_segment_control_item_count_get(), case when item will be appended to segment control, just like elm_segment_control_item_add().
Items created with this function can be deleted with function elm_object_item_del() or elm_segment_control_item_del_at().
label set to NULL is different from empty string "". If an item only has icon, it will be displayed bigger and centered. If it has icon and label, even that an empty string, icon will be smaller and positioned at left.
