## Detailed Description

### template<class T>
class Gtk::StyleProperty< T >

Represents a widget style property.

This class maps one to one to a style property of a widget in Gtk. A style property is similar to object properties (Glib::Property), but its value is stored in the style object associated with the widget. The style property, similarly to the object properties, has some global data for each property. The global data includes the following information about the style property:

- unique name, used to identify the style property
- human-readable nickname
- short description
- default value, minimum and maximum bounds (applicable depending on the type of the style property)
- flags, defining, among other things, whether the property can be read or written

The StyleProperty class currently supports only the name and default value. The minimum and maximum bounds are set to the full range of the value. The nickname and the description are set to empty. The flags are set to indicate that the property is read-only (this doesn't disallow a style provider to set the value of the property).

The global information must be installed into the widget once per property. This is handled automatically. A reference to the widget must be passed on the construction of the style property.

Since gtkmm 3.16:

## Member Typedef Documentation

template <class T >

typedef T Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::PropertyType

template <class T >

typedef Glib::Value<T> Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::ValueType

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template <class T >

Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::StyleProperty | ( | Gtk::Widget& | widget,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | name
| ) |  |

Constructs a style property for widget with name.

For each instance of the widget, the same property must be constructed with the same name.

template <class T >

Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::StyleProperty | ( | Gtk::Widget& | widget,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const PropertyType& | default_value
| ) |  |

Constructs a style property for widget with name and default_value.

For each instance of the widget, the same property must be constructed with the same name and default value.

## Member Function Documentation

template <class T >

PropertyType Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::get_value | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the value of the style property.

Equivalent to Gtk::Widget::get_style_property(get_name(), PropertyType& value).

template <class T >

Gtk::StyleProperty< T >::operator PropertyType | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Returns the value of the style property.

Equivalent to Gtk::Widget::get_style_property(get_name(), PropertyType& value).
