Menu

A #GtkMenu is a #GtkMenuShell that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of #GtkMenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.

A #GtkMenu is most commonly dropped down by activating a #GtkMenuItem in a #GtkMenuBar or popped up by activating a #GtkMenuItem in another #GtkMenu.

A #GtkMenu can also be popped up by activating a #GtkComboBox. Other composite widgets such as the #GtkNotebook can pop up a #GtkMenu as well.

Applications can display a #GtkMenu as a popup menu by calling the gtk_menu_popup() function. The example below shows how an application can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.

Connecting the popup signal handler.

|[<!-- language="C" --> // connect our handler which will popup the menu g_signal_connect_swapped (window, "button_press_event", G_CALLBACK (my_popup_handler), menu); ]|

Signal handler which displays a popup menu.

|[<!-- language="C" --> static gint my_popup_handler (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event) { GtkMenu *menu; GdkEventButton *event_button;

g_return_val_if_fail (widget != NULL, FALSE); g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_MENU (widget), FALSE); g_return_val_if_fail (event != NULL, FALSE);

// The "widget" is the menu that was supplied when // g_signal_connect_swapped() was called. menu = GTK_MENU (widget);

if (event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS) { event_button = (GdkEventButton *) event; if (event_button->button == GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY) { gtk_menu_popup (menu, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, event_button->button, event_button->time); return TRUE; } }

return FALSE; } ]|

Functions

addOnMoveScroll
void addOnMoveScroll(void delegate(GtkScrollType, Menu) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
appendSubmenu
Menu appendSubmenu(string label)

Creates and append a submenu to this menu. This menu item that actualy has the sub menu is also created.

appendSubmenu
void appendSubmenu(string label, Menu submenu)
attach
void attach(Widget child, uint leftAttach, uint rightAttach, uint topAttach, uint bottomAttach)

Adds a new #GtkMenuItem to a (table) menu. The number of “cells” that an item will occupy is specified by @left_attach, @right_attach, @top_attach and @bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lower column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

attachToWidget
void attachToWidget(Widget attachWidget, GtkMenuDetachFunc detacher)

Attaches the menu to the widget and provides a callback function that will be invoked when the menu calls gtk_menu_detach() during its destruction.

detach
void detach()

Detaches the menu from the widget to which it had been attached. This function will call the callback function, @detacher, provided when the gtk_menu_attach_to_widget() function was called.

getAccelGroup
AccelGroup getAccelGroup()

Gets the #GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. See gtk_menu_set_accel_group().

getAccelPath
string getAccelPath()

Retrieves the accelerator path set on the menu.

getActive
Widget getActive()

Returns the selected menu item from the menu. This is used by the #GtkComboBox.

getAttachWidget
Widget getAttachWidget()

Returns the #GtkWidget that the menu is attached to.

getMenuStruct
GtkMenu* getMenuStruct()

Get the main Gtk struct

getMonitor
int getMonitor()

Retrieves the number of the monitor on which to show the menu.

getReserveToggleSize
bool getReserveToggleSize()

Returns whether the menu reserves space for toggles and icons, regardless of their actual presence.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getTearoffState
bool getTearoffState()

Returns whether the menu is torn off. See gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state().

getTitle
string getTitle()

Returns the title of the menu. See gtk_menu_set_title().

popdown
void popdown()

Removes the menu from the screen.

popup
void popup(uint button, uint activateTime)

Popups up this menu

popup
void popup(Widget parentMenuShell, Widget parentMenuItem, GtkMenuPositionFunc func, void* data, uint button, uint activateTime)

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

popupForDevice
void popupForDevice(Device device, Widget parentMenuShell, Widget parentMenuItem, GtkMenuPositionFunc func, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy, uint button, uint activateTime)

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

prependSubmenu
Menu prependSubmenu(string label)
reorderChild
void reorderChild(Widget child, int position)

Moves @child to a new @position in the list of @menu children.

reposition
void reposition()

Repositions the menu according to its position function.

setAccelGroup
void setAccelGroup(AccelGroup accelGroup)

Set the #GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. This accelerator group needs to also be added to all windows that this menu is being used in with gtk_window_add_accel_group(), in order for those windows to support all the accelerators contained in this group.

setAccelPath
void setAccelPath(string accelPath)

Sets an accelerator path for this menu from which accelerator paths for its immediate children, its menu items, can be constructed. The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the inconvenience of having to call gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling gtk_menu_set_accel_path() on their parent, each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose, automatically gets an accel path assigned.

setActive
void setActive(uint index)

Selects the specified menu item within the menu. This is used by the #GtkComboBox and should not be used by anyone else.

setMonitor
void setMonitor(int monitorNum)

Informs GTK+ on which monitor a menu should be popped up. See gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry().

setReserveToggleSize
void setReserveToggleSize(bool reserveToggleSize)

Sets whether the menu should reserve space for drawing toggles or icons, regardless of their actual presence.

setScreen
void setScreen(Screen screen)

Sets the #GdkScreen on which the menu will be displayed.

setStruct
void setStruct(GObject* obj)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
setTearoffState
void setTearoffState(bool tornOff)

Changes the tearoff state of the menu. A menu is normally displayed as drop down menu which persists as long as the menu is active. It can also be displayed as a tearoff menu which persists until it is closed or reattached.

setTitle
void setTitle(string title)

Sets the title string for the menu.
