31 * @short_description: A group of actions
33 * #GActionGroup represents a group of actions.
35 * Each action in the group has a unique name (which is a string). All
36 * method calls, except g_action_group_list_actions() take the name of
37 * an action as an argument.
39 * The #GActionGroup API is meant to be the 'public' API to the action
40 * group. The calls here are exactly the interaction that 'external
41 * forces' (eg: UI, incoming D-Bus messages, etc.) are supposed to have
42 * with actions. 'Internal' APIs (ie: ones meant only to be accessed by
43 * the action group implementation) are found on subclasses. This is
44 * why you will find -- for example -- g_action_group_get_enabled() but
45 * not an equivalent <function>set()</function> call.
47 * Signals are emitted on the action group in response to state changes
48 * on individual actions.
