Description

A GtkRadioAction is similar to GtkRadioMenuItem. A number of radio actions can be linked together so that only one may be active at any one time.

Details

GtkRadioAction

typedef struct _GtkRadioAction GtkRadioAction;

The GtkRadioAction struct contains only private members and should not be accessed directly.


gtk_radio_action_new ()

GtkRadioAction*     gtk_radio_action_new                (const gchar *name,
                                                         const gchar *label,
                                                         const gchar *tooltip,
                                                         const gchar *stock_id,
                                                         gint value);

Creates a new GtkRadioAction object. To add the action to a GtkActionGroup and set the accelerator for the action, call gtk_action_group_add_action_with_accel().

name : A unique name for the action
label : The label displayed in menu items and on buttons
tooltip : A tooltip for this action
stock_id : The stock icon to display in widgets representing this action
value : The value which gtk_radio_action_get_current_value() should return if this action is selected.
Returns : a new GtkRadioAction

Since 2.4


gtk_radio_action_get_group ()

GSList*             gtk_radio_action_get_group          (GtkRadioAction *action);

Returns the list representing the radio group for this object. Note that the returned list is only valid until the next change to the group.

A common way to set up a group of radio group is the following:

  GSList *group = NULL;
  GtkRadioAction *action;
 
  while (/* more actions to add */)
    {
       action = gtk_radio_action_new (...);
       
       gtk_radio_action_set_group (action, group);
       group = gtk_radio_action_get_group (action);
    }

action : the action object
Returns : the list representing the radio group for this object

Since 2.4


gtk_radio_action_set_group ()

void                gtk_radio_action_set_group          (GtkRadioAction *action,
                                                         GSList *group);

Sets the radio group for the radio action object.

action : the action object
group : a list representing a radio group

Since 2.4


gtk_radio_action_get_current_value ()

gint                gtk_radio_action_get_current_value  (GtkRadioAction *action);

Obtains the value property of the currently active member of the group to which action belongs.

action : a GtkRadioAction
Returns : The value of the currently active group member

Since 2.4


gtk_radio_action_set_current_value ()

void                gtk_radio_action_set_current_value  (GtkRadioAction *action,
                                                         gint current_value);

Sets the currently active group member to the member with value property current_value.

action : a GtkRadioAction
current_value : the new value

Since 2.10

Property Details

The "current-value" property

  "current-value"            gint                  : Read / Write

The value property of the currently active member of the group to which this action belongs.

Default value: 0

Since 2.10


The "group" property

  "group"                    GtkRadioAction        : Write

Sets a new group for a radio action.

Since 2.4


The "value" property

  "value"                    gint                  : Read / Write

The value is an arbitrary integer which can be used as a convenient way to determine which action in the group is currently active in an ::activate or ::changed signal handler. See gtk_radio_action_get_current_value() and GtkRadioActionEntry for convenient ways to get and set this property.

Default value: 0

Since 2.4

Signal Details

The "changed" signal

void                user_function                      (GtkRadioAction *action,
                                                        GtkRadioAction *current,
                                                        gpointer        user_data)      : Run First / No Recursion

The ::changed signal is emitted on every member of a radio group when the active member is changed. The signal gets emitted after the ::activate signals for the previous and current active members.

action : the action on which the signal is emitted
current : the member of actions group which has just been activated
user_data : user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.4
