Stack
GtkStack is a container which only shows one of its children at a time.
In contrast to GtkNotebook, GtkStack does not provide a means for users to change the visible child. Instead, a separate widget such as class@Gtk.StackSwitcher or class@Gtk.StackSidebar can be used with GtkStack to provide this functionality.
Transitions between pages can be animated as slides or fades. This can be controlled with method@Gtk.Stack.set_transition_type. These animations respect the property@Gtk.Settings:gtk-enable-animations setting.
GtkStack maintains a class@Gtk.StackPage object for each added child, which holds additional per-child properties. You obtain the GtkStackPage for a child with method@Gtk.Stack.get_page and you can obtain a GtkSelectionModel containing all the pages with method@Gtk.Stack.get_pages.
GtkStack as GtkBuildable
To set child-specific properties in a .ui file, create GtkStackPage objects explicitly, and set the child widget as a property on it:
<object class="GtkStack" id="stack">
<child>
<object class="GtkStackPage">
<property name="name">page1</property>
<property name="title">In the beginning…</property>
<property name="child">
<object class="GtkLabel">
<property name="label">It was dark</property>
</object>
</property>
</object>
</child>CSS nodes
GtkStack has a single CSS node named stack.
Accessibility
GtkStack uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_TAB_PANEL for the stack pages, which are the accessible parent objects of the child widgets.
