Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Activates the menu item within the menu shell.
An action signal that activates the current menu item within the menu shell.
An action signal which cancels the selection within the menu shell. Causes the #GtkMenuShell::selection-done signal to be emitted.
A keybinding signal which moves the focus in the given @direction.
This signal is emitted when a menu shell is deactivated.
The ::insert signal is emitted when a new #GtkMenuItem is added to a #GtkMenuShell. A separate signal is used instead of GtkContainer::add because of the need for an additional position parameter.
An keybinding signal which moves the current menu item in the direction specified by @direction.
The ::move-selected signal is emitted to move the selection to another item.
This signal is emitted when a selection has been completed within a menu shell.
Adds a new #GtkMenuItem to the end of the menu shell's item list.
Establishes a binding between a #GtkMenuShell and a #GMenuModel.
Cancels the selection within the menu shell.
Deactivates the menu shell.
Deselects the currently selected item from the menu shell, if any.
Get the main Gtk struct
Gets the parent menu shell.
Gets the currently selected item.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Returns %TRUE if the menu shell will take the keyboard focus on popup.
Adds a new #GtkMenuItem to the menu shell’s item list at the position indicated by @position.
Adds a new #GtkMenuItem to the beginning of the menu shell's item list.
Select the first visible or selectable child of the menu shell; don’t select tearoff items unless the only item is a tearoff item.
Selects the menu item from the menu shell.
If @take_focus is %TRUE (the default) the menu shell will take the keyboard focus so that it will receive all keyboard events which is needed to enable keyboard navigation in menus.

Removes all widgets from the container
Adds @widget to @container. Typically used for simple containers such as #GtkWindow, #GtkFrame, or #GtkButton; for more complicated layout containers such as #GtkBox or #GtkGrid, this function will pick default packing parameters that may not be correct. So consider functions such as gtk_box_pack_start() and gtk_grid_attach() as an alternative to gtk_container_add() in those cases. A widget may be added to only one container at a time; you can’t place the same widget inside two different containers.
Gets the value of a child property for @child and @container.
Gets the values of one or more child properties for @child and @container.
Emits a #GtkWidget::child-notify signal for the [child property][child-properties] @child_property on the child.
Emits a #GtkWidget::child-notify signal for the [child property][child-properties] specified by @pspec on the child.
Sets a child property for @child and @container.
Sets one or more child properties for @child and @container.
Returns the type of the children supported by the container.
Invokes @callback on each direct child of @container, including children that are considered “internal” (implementation details of the container). “Internal” children generally weren’t added by the user of the container, but were added by the container implementation itself.
Invokes @callback on each non-internal child of @container. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an “internal” child. For all practical purposes, this function should iterate over precisely those child widgets that were added to the container by the application with explicit add() calls.
Retrieves the border width of the container. See gtk_container_set_border_width().
Returns the container’s non-internal children. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an "internal" child.
Retrieves the focus chain of the container, if one has been set explicitly. If no focus chain has been explicitly set, GTK+ computes the focus chain based on the positions of the children. In that case, GTK+ stores %NULL in @focusable_widgets and returns %FALSE.
Returns the current focus child widget inside @container. This is not the currently focused widget. That can be obtained by calling gtk_window_get_focus().
Retrieves the horizontal focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment ().
Retrieves the vertical focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment().
Returns a newly created widget path representing all the widget hierarchy from the toplevel down to and including @child.
Returns the resize mode for the container. See gtk_container_set_resize_mode ().
When a container receives a call to the draw function, it must send synthetic #GtkWidget::draw calls to all children that don’t have their own #GdkWindows. This function provides a convenient way of doing this. A container, when it receives a call to its #GtkWidget::draw function, calls gtk_container_propagate_draw() once for each child, passing in the @cr the container received.
Removes @widget from @container. @widget must be inside @container. Note that @container will own a reference to @widget, and that this may be the last reference held; so removing a widget from its container can destroy that widget. If you want to use @widget again, you need to add a reference to it before removing it from a container, using g_object_ref(). If you don’t want to use @widget again it’s usually more efficient to simply destroy it directly using gtk_widget_destroy() since this will remove it from the container and help break any circular reference count cycles.
Sets the border width of the container.
Sets a focus chain, overriding the one computed automatically by GTK+.
Sets, or unsets if @child is %NULL, the focused child of @container.
Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the horizontal alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment() for setting the vertical adjustment.
Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the vertical alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_vadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment() for setting the horizontal adjustment.
Sets the @reallocate_redraws flag of the container to the given value.
Sets the resize mode for the container.
Removes a focus chain explicitly set with gtk_container_set_focus_chain().
A #GtkMenuShell is the abstract base class used to derive the #GtkMenu and #GtkMenuBar subclasses.
A #GtkMenuShell is a container of #GtkMenuItem objects arranged in a list which can be navigated, selected, and activated by the user to perform application functions. A #GtkMenuItem can have a submenu associated with it, allowing for nested hierarchical menus.
Terminology
A menu item can be “selected”, this means that it is displayed in the prelight state, and if it has a submenu, that submenu will be popped up.
A menu is “active” when it is visible onscreen and the user is selecting from it. A menubar is not active until the user clicks on one of its menuitems. When a menu is active, passing the mouse over a submenu will pop it up.
There is also is a concept of the current menu and a current menu item. The current menu item is the selected menu item that is furthest down in the hierarchy. (Every active menu shell does not necessarily contain a selected menu item, but if it does, then the parent menu shell must also contain a selected menu item.) The current menu is the menu that contains the current menu item. It will always have a GTK grab and receive all key presses.
