34 * @short_description: A simple implementation of GMenuModel
36 * #GMenu is a simple implementation of #GMenuModel.
37 * You populate a #GMenu by adding #GMenuItem instances to it.
39 * There are some convenience functions to allow you to directly
40 * add items (avoiding #GMenuItem) for the common cases. To add
41 * a regular item, use g_menu_insert(). To add a section, use
42 * g_menu_insert_section(). To add a submenu, use
43 * g_menu_insert_submenu().
49 * #GMenu is an opaque structure type. You must access it using the

133 * @position: the position at which to insert the item
134 * @item: the #GMenuItem to insert
136 * Inserts @item into @menu.
138 * The "insertion" is actually done by copying all of the attribute and
139 * link values of @item and using them to form a new item within @menu.
140 * As such, @item itself is not really inserted, but rather, a menu item
141 * that is exactly the same as the one presently described by @item.
143 * This means that @item is essentially useless after the insertion
144 * occurs. Any changes you make to it are ignored unless it is inserted
145 * again (at which point its updated values will be copied).
147 * You should probably just free @item once you're done.
149 * There are many convenience functions to take care of common cases.
150 * See g_menu_insert(), g_menu_insert_section() and
151 * g_menu_insert_submenu() as well as "prepend" and "append" variants of
152 * each of these functions.

947 * exactly as it sounds: the items from @section become a direct part of
948 * the menu that @menu_item is added to. See g_menu_item_new_section()

962 * g_menu_item_set_action_and_target_value:
963 * @menu_item: a #GMenuItem
964 * @action: (allow-none): the name of the action for this item
965 * @target_value: (allow-none): a #GVariant to use as the action target
967 * Sets or unsets the "action" and "target" attributes of @menu_item.
969 * If @action is %NULL then both the "action" and "target" attributes
970 * are unset (and @target_value is ignored).
972 * If @action is non-%NULL then the "action" attribute is set. The
973 * "target" attribute is then set to the value of @target_value if it is
974 * non-%NULL or unset otherwise.
976 * Normal menu items (ie: not submenu, section or other custom item
977 * types) are expected to have the "action" attribute set to identify
978 * the action that they are associated with. The state type of the
979 * action help to determine the disposition of the menu item. See
980 * #GAction and #GActionGroup for an overview of actions.
982 * In general, clicking on the menu item will result in activation of
983 * the named action with the "target" attribute given as the parameter
984 * to the action invocation. If the "target" attribute is not set then
985 * the action is invoked with no parameter.
987 * If the action has no state then the menu item is usually drawn as a
988 * plain menu item (ie: with no additional decoration).
990 * If the action has a boolean state then the menu item is usually drawn
991 * as a toggle menu item (ie: with a checkmark or equivalent
992 * indication). The item should be marked as 'toggled' or 'checked'
993 * when the boolean state is %TRUE.
995 * If the action has a string state then the menu item is usually drawn
996 * as a radio menu item (ie: with a radio bullet or equivalent
997 * indication). The item should be marked as 'selected' when the string
998 * state is equal to the value of the @target property.
1000 * See g_menu_item_set_action_and_target() or
1001 * g_menu_item_set_detailed_action() for two equivalent calls that are
1002 * probably more convenient for most uses.
