Description Stock items represent commonly-used menu or toolbar items such as "Open" or "Exit". Each stock item is identified by a stock ID; stock IDs are just strings, but macros such as GTK_STOCK_OPEN are provided to avoid typing mistakes in the strings. Applications can register their own stock items in addition to those built-in to GTK+. Each stock ID can be associated with a GtkStockItem, which contains the user-visible label, keyboard accelerator, and translation domain of the menu or toolbar item; and/or with an icon stored in a GtkIconFactory. See GtkIconFactory for more information on stock icons. The connection between a GtkStockItem and stock icons is purely conventional (by virtue of using the same stock ID); it's possible to register a stock item but no icon, and vice versa. Stock icons may have a RTL variant which gets used for right-to-left locales.
