Description

A GtkImageMenuItem is a menu item which has an icon next to the text label.

Note that the user can disable display of menu icons, so make sure to still fill in the text label.

Details

struct GtkImageMenuItem

struct GtkImageMenuItem;


gtk_image_menu_item_set_image ()

void                gtk_image_menu_item_set_image       (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item,
                                                         GtkWidget *image);

Sets the image of image_menu_item to the given widget. Note that it depends on the show-menu-images setting whether the image will be displayed or not.

image_menu_item :

a GtkImageMenuItem.

image :

a widget to set as the image for the menu item.

gtk_image_menu_item_get_image ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_image_menu_item_get_image       (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

Gets the widget that is currently set as the image of image_menu_item. See gtk_image_menu_item_set_image().

image_menu_item :

a GtkImageMenuItem.

Returns :

the widget set as image of image_menu_item.

gtk_image_menu_item_new ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_image_menu_item_new             (void);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem with an empty label.

Returns :

a new GtkImageMenuItem.

gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock  (const gchar *stock_id,
                                                         GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing the image and text from a stock item. Some stock ids have preprocessor macros like GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_APPLY.

If you want this menu item to have changeable accelerators, then pass in NULL for accel_group. Next call gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() with an appropriate path for the menu item, use gtk_stock_lookup() to look up the standard accelerator for the stock item, and if one is found, call gtk_accel_map_add_entry() to register it.

stock_id :

the name of the stock item.

accel_group :

the GtkAccelGroup to add the menu items accelerator to, or NULL.

Returns :

a new GtkImageMenuItem.

gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label  (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing a label.

label :

the text of the menu item.

Returns :

a new GtkImageMenuItem.

gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic
                                                        (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing a label. The label will be created using gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(), so underscores in label indicate the mnemonic for the menu item.

label :

the text of the menu item, with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character

Returns :

a new GtkImageMenuItem

gtk_image_menu_item_get_use_stock ()

gboolean            gtk_image_menu_item_get_use_stock   (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

Checks whether the label set in the menuitem is used as a stock id to select the stock item for the item.

image_menu_item :

a GtkImageMenuItem

Returns :

TRUE if the label set in the menuitem is used as a stock id to select the stock item for the item

gtk_image_menu_item_set_use_stock ()

void                gtk_image_menu_item_set_use_stock   (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item,
                                                         gboolean use_stock);

If TRUE, the label set in the menuitem is used as a stock id to select the stock item for the item.

image_menu_item :

a GtkImageMenuItem

use_stock :

TRUE if the menuitem should use a stock item

gtk_image_menu_item_get_always_show_image ()

gboolean            gtk_image_menu_item_get_always_show_image
                                                        (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

Returns whether the menu item will ignore the "gtk-menu-images" setting and always show the image, if available.

image_menu_item :

a GtkImageMenuItem

Returns :

TRUE if the menu item will always show the image

Since 2.16


gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image ()

void                gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image
                                                        (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item,
                                                         gboolean always_show);

gtk_image_menu_item_set_accel_group ()

void                gtk_image_menu_item_set_accel_group (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item,
                                                         GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Specifies an accel_group to add the menu items accelerator to (this only applies to stock items so a stock item must already be set, make sure to call gtk_image_menu_item_set_use_stock() and gtk_menu_item_set_label() with a valid stock item first).

If you want this menu item to have changeable accelerators then you shouldnt need this (see gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock()).

a GtkImageMenuItem

accel_group :

the GtkAccelGroup
