Class
GtkButton
Description [src]
class Gtk.Button : Gtk.Widget {
/* No available fields */
}
The GtkButton widget is generally used to trigger a callback function that is
called when the button is pressed.

The GtkButton widget can hold any valid child widget. That is, it can hold
almost any other standard GtkWidget. The most commonly used child is the
GtkLabel.
CSS nodes
GtkButton has a single CSS node with name button. The node will get the
style classes .image-button or .text-button, if the content is just an
image or label, respectively. It may also receive the .flat style class.
When activating a button via the keyboard, the button will temporarily
gain the .keyboard-activating style class.
Other style classes that are commonly used with GtkButton include
.suggested-action and .destructive-action. In special cases, buttons
can be made round by adding the .circular style class.
Button-like widgets like GtkToggleButton, GtkMenuButton,
GtkVolumeButton, GtkLockButton, GtkColorButton
or GtkFontButton use style classes such as .toggle, .popup, .scale,
.lock, .color on the button node to differentiate themselves from a plain
GtkButton.
Accessibility
GtkButton uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_BUTTON role.
