How to change button icon when button clicked, python quickly

Question

I'm trying to implement hide function in my application. What I want is to have this little arrow ">" when is hide and "V" when is visible. I know how to make it so its hides and shows but I need that little arrow to change whenever I click on it....

I'm using quickly and python to create my app. I tried set_icon_from_stock function but it returns error:

AttributeError: 'ToolButton' object has no attribute 'set_icon_from_stock'

Above example of arrow I talking about.

Thanks

Answer 1

Just use an Expander, that's what Update Manager is using here, too. It's drawing the arrows and taking care about to show and hide what's inside.

http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-gtktoolbutton.html

The icon of a gtk.ToolButton is determined by the properties "icon-widget" and "stock-id". If "icon-widget" specifies a gtk.Widget, that widget is used as the icon. If "icon-widget" is None, the icon is determined by the stock item specified by "stock-id". If both "icon-widget" and "stock-id" are None, the button does not have an icon.

The set_stock_id() method sets the "stock-id" property to the value of stock_id. The stock item specified by stock_id is used to determine the icon and label if not overridden by the "label" and "icon-widget" properties. See the gtk.ToolButton() constructor for more information.

The set_icon_name() method sets the "icon-name" property to the value of icon_name. The themed icon name specified by icon_name is used to determine the icon for the toolbutton if not overridden by the "label", "stock-id" and "icon-widget" properties. See the gtk.ToolButton() constructor for more information.
