Gtk::Action Class Reference

Detailed Description
An action which can be triggered by a menu or toolbar item.Actions represent operations that the user can perform, along with some information about how it should be presented in the user interface. Each action provides methods to create icons, menu items and toolbar items representing itself.
As well as the callback that is called when the action is activated, the following is also associated with the action:
- a name (not translated, for path lookup)
- a label (translated, for display)
- an accelerator
- whether the label indicates a stock id
- a tooltip (optional, translated)
- a toolbar label (optional, shorter than label)
The action will also have some state information:
- visible (shown/hidden)
- sensitive (enabled/disabled)
Apart from regular actions, there are toggle actions, which can be toggled between two states and radio actions, of which only one in a group can be in the "active" state. Other actions can be implemented as Gtk::Action subclasses.
Each action can have one or more proxy menu item, toolbar button or other proxy widgets. Proxies mirror the state of the action (text label, tooltip, icon, visible, sensitive, etc), and should change when the action's state changes. When the proxy is activated, it should activate its action.

Member Function Documentation
void Gtk::Action::activate | ( | ) |
Emits the "activate" signal on the specified action, if it isn't insensitive.
This gets called by the proxy widgets when they get activated.
It can also be used to manually activate an action.
void Gtk::Action::block_activate | ( | ) |
Disable activation signals from the action.
This is needed when updating the state of your proxy Gtk::Activatable widget could result in calling activate(), this is a convenience function to avoid recursing in those cases (updating toggle state for instance).
void Gtk::Action::block_activate_from | ( | Widget& | proxy | ) | [protected] |
Disables calls to the activate() function by signals on the given proxy widget.
This is used to break notification loops for things like check or radio actions.
This function is intended for use by action implementations.
Deprecated 2.16: activatables are now responsible for activating the action directly so this doesnt apply anymore.
- Deprecated:
- Activatables are now responsible for activating the action directly so this doesnt apply anymore
- Parameters:
-
proxy A proxy widget.
void Gtk::Action::connect_accelerator | ( | ) |
Installs the accelerator for action if action has an accel path and group.
See set_accel_path() and set_accel_group()
Since multiple proxies may independently trigger the installation of the accelerator, the action counts the number of times this function has been called and doesn't remove the accelerator until disconnect_accelerator() has been called as many times.
void Gtk::Action::connect_proxy | ( | Widget& | proxy | ) |
Connects a widget to an action object as a proxy.
Synchronises various properties of the action with the widget (such as label text, icon, tooltip, etc), and attaches a callback so that the action gets activated when the proxy widget does.
If the widget is already connected to an action, it is disconnected first.
Deprecated 2.16: Use Gtk::Activatable::set_related_action() instead.
- Parameters:
-
proxy The proxy widget.

void Gtk::Action::set_accel_group | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup>& | accel_group | ) |
Sets the Gtk::AccelGroup in which the accelerator for this action will be installed.
- Parameters:
-
accel_group A Gtk::AccelGroup or 0
.
void Gtk::Action::set_accel_path | ( | const Glib::ustring & | accel_path | ) |
Sets the accel path for this action.
All proxy widgets associated with the action will have this accel path, so that their accelerators are consistent.
Note that accel_path string will be stored in a Quark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with Glib::intern_static_string().
- Parameters:
-
accel_path The accelerator path.

void Gtk::Action::set_icon_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | icon_name | ) |
void Gtk::Action::set_is_important | ( | bool | is_important = true |
) |
Sets whether the action is important, this attribute is used primarily by toolbar items to decide whether to show a label or not.
- Parameters:
-
is_important true
to make the action important.
void Gtk::Action::set_label | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label | ) |
void Gtk::Action::set_sensitive | ( | bool | sensitive = true |
) |
Sets the sensitive property of the action to sensitive.
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean effective sensitivity. See is_sensitive() for that.
- Parameters:
-
sensitive true
to make the action sensitive.
void Gtk::Action::set_short_label | ( | const Glib::ustring & | short_label | ) |
Sets a shorter label text on action.
- Parameters:
-
short_label The label text to set.

void Gtk::Action::set_tooltip | ( | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip | ) |
void Gtk::Action::set_visible | ( | bool | visible = true |
) |
Sets the visible property of the action to visible.
Note that this doesn't necessarily mean effective visibility. See is_visible() for that.
- Parameters:
-
visible true
to make the action visible.
void Gtk::Action::set_visible_horizontal | ( | bool | visible_horizontal = true |
) |
Sets whether action is visible when horizontal.
- Parameters:
-
visible_horizontal Whether the action is visible horizontally.
void Gtk::Action::set_visible_vertical | ( | bool | visible_vertical = true |

- Parameters:
-
visible_vertical Whether the action is visible vertically.
Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Action::signal_activate | ( | ) |
The "activate" signal is emitted when the action is activated.
- Prototype:
void on_my_activate()
void Gtk::Action::unblock_activate | ( | ) |
void Gtk::Action::unblock_activate_from | ( | Widget& | proxy | ) | [protected] |
Re-enables calls to the activate() function by signals on the given proxy widget.
This undoes the blocking done by block_activate_from().
This function is intended for use by action implementations.
Deprecated 2.16: activatables are now responsible for activating the action directly so this doesnt apply anymore.
- Deprecated:
- Activatables are now responsible for activating the action directly so this doesnt apply anymore
- Parameters:
-
proxy A proxy widget.
