public class LinkButton : Button, Accessible, Actionable, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

A `GtkLinkButton` is a button with a hyperlink.

![An example GtkLinkButton](link-button.png)

It is useful to show quick links to resources.

A link button is created by calling either [[email protected]] or [[email protected]_with_label]. If using the former, the URI you pass to the constructor is used as a label for the widget.

The URI bound to a `GtkLinkButton` can be set specifically using [[email protected]_uri].

By default, `GtkLinkButton` calls [[email protected]_uri] when the button is clicked. This behaviour can be overridden by connecting to the [ [email protected]:GtkLinkButton:activate-link] signal and returning true from the signal handler.

CSS nodes

`GtkLinkButton` has a single CSS node with name button. To differentiate it from a plain `GtkButton`, it gets the .link style class.

`GtkLinkButton` uses the gtk_accessible_role_link role.
