    Gtk2::Widget
      Gtk2::Container

          Gtk2::ToolItem
            Gtk2::ToolButton
              Gtk2::MenuToolButton
                Gtk2::Ex::History::MenuToolButton

DESCRIPTION

This is a toolbar button which invokes either back or forward on a Gtk2::Ex::History object. The arrow part of the button presents a menu of the history in that direction.

                  | Another Place |
                  | Future Most   |
                  +---------------+

A plain Gtk2::Ex::History::Button can be put in a Gtk2::ToolItem and used in a toolbar for a similar result. The difference is whether you prefer the menu popup with an arrow or with mouse button-3. The arrow has the advantage of a visual indication that there's something available.

FUNCTIONS

$item = Gtk2::Ex::History::MenuToolButton->new (key => value, ...)

Create and return a new history button. Optional key/value pairs can be given to set initial properties, as per Glib::Object->new.

The history property should be set to say what to display and act on, and way for back or forward.

    my $item = Gtk2::Ex::History::MenuToolButton->new
                  (history => $history,
                   way => 'forward');

PROPERTIES

history (Gtk2::Ex::History object, default undef)

The history object to act on.

way (enum Gtk2::Ex::History::Way, default 'back')

The direction to go, either "back" or "forward".

The stock-id property (per Gtk2::ToolButton) is set from this, either gtk-go-back or gtk-go-forward.
