### Class

# AdwViewStack

#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.ViewStack : Gtk.Widget {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A view container for `AdwViewSwitcher`.

`AdwViewStack` is a container which only shows one page at a time. It is typically used to hold an application’s main views.

It doesn’t provide a way to transition between pages. Instead, a separate widget such as `AdwViewSwitcher` can be used with `AdwViewStack` to provide this functionality.

`AdwViewStack` pages can have a title, an icon, an attention request, and a numbered badge that `AdwViewSwitcher` will use to let users identify which page is which. Set them using the `AdwViewStackPage:title`, `AdwViewStackPage:icon-name`, `AdwViewStackPage:needs-attention`, and `AdwViewStackPage:badge-number` properties.

Unlike `GtkStack`, transitions between views are not animated.

`AdwViewStack` maintains a `AdwViewStackPage` object for each added child, which holds additional per-child properties. You obtain the `AdwViewStackPage` for a child with `adw_view_stack_get_page()` and you can obtain a `GtkSelectionModel` containing all the pages with `adw_view_stack_get_pages()`.

## AdwViewStack as GtkBuildable

To set child-specific properties in a .ui file, create `AdwViewStackPage` objects explicitly, and set the child widget as a property on it:

      <object class="AdwViewStack" id="stack">
        <child>
          <object class="AdwViewStackPage">
            <property name="name">overview</property>
            <property name="title">Overview</property>
            <property name="child">
              <object class="AdwStatusPage">
                <property name="title">Welcome!</property>
              </object>
            </property>
          </object>
        </child>
      </object>
