Detail
Actions represent operations that the user can be perform, along with some information how it should be presented in the interface. Each action provides methods to create icons, menu items and toolbar items representing itself.
As well as the callback that is called when the action gets activated, the following also gets associated with the action:
- a name (not translated, for path lookup)
- a label (translated, for display)
- an accelerator
- whether label indicates a stock id
- a tooltip (optional, translated)
- a toolbar label (optional, shorter than label)
The action will also have some state information:
- visible (shown/hidden)
- sensitive (enabled/disabled)
Apart from regular actions, there are toggle actions, which can be
toggled between two states and radio actions, of which only one in a group
can be in the "active" state. Other actions can be implemented as Action
subclasses.
Each action can have one or more proxy menu item, toolbar button or other proxy widgets. Proxies mirror the state of the action (text label, tooltip, icon, visible, sensitive, etc), and should change when the action's state changes. When the proxy is activated, it should activate its action.

Instances
class GObjectClass o => ActionClass o Source
castToAction :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> ActionSource
toAction :: ActionClass o => o -> ActionSource
Constructors
Arguments
| :: String |
|
| -> String |
|
| -> Maybe String |
|
| -> Maybe StockId |
|
| -> IO Action |
Creates a new Action object. To add the action to a ActionGroup and
set the accelerator for the action, call
actionGroupAddActionWithAccel.
See Graphics.UI.Gtk.ActionMenuToolbar.UIManager for information on
allowed action names.
Methods
actionGetName :: ActionClass self => self -> IO StringSource
Returns the name of the action.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Bool | returns |
Returns whether the action is effectively sensitive.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Bool | returns |
Returns whether the action itself is sensitive. Note that this doesn't
necessarily mean effective sensitivity. See actionIsSensitive for that.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> Bool |
|
| -> IO () |
Sets the sensitive property of the action to sensitive. Note that
this doesn't necessarily mean effective sensitivity. See actionIsSensitive
for that.
- Available since Gtk+ version 2.6
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Bool | returns |
Returns whether the action is effectively visible.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Bool | returns |
Returns whether the action itself is visible. Note that this doesn't
necessarily mean effective visibility. See actionIsSensitive for that.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> Bool |
|
| -> IO () |
Sets the visible property of the action to visible. Note that this
doesn't necessarily mean effective visibility. See actionIsVisible for
that.
- Available since Gtk+ version 2.6
actionActivate :: ActionClass self => self -> IO ()Source
Emits the "activate" signal on the specified action, if it isn't insensitive. This gets called by the proxy widgets when they get activated.
It can also be used to manually activate an action.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Widget | returns a menu item connected to the action. |
Creates a menu item widget that proxies for the given action.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO Widget | returns a toolbar item connected to the action. |
Creates a toolbar item widget that proxies for the given action.
Arguments
| :: (ActionClass self, WidgetClass proxy) | |
| => self | |
| -> proxy |
|
| -> IO () |
Connects a widget to an action object as a proxy. Synchronises various properties of the action with the widget (such as label text, icon, tooltip, etc), and attaches a callback so that the action gets activated when the proxy widget does.
If the widget is already connected to an action, it is disconnected first.
Arguments
| :: (ActionClass self, WidgetClass proxy) | |
| => self | |
| -> proxy |
|
| -> IO () |
Disconnects a proxy widget from an action.
actionGetProxies :: ActionClass self => self -> IO [Widget]Source
Returns the proxy widgets for an action.
actionConnectAccelerator :: ActionClass self => self -> IO ()Source
Installs the accelerator for action if action has an accel path and
group. See actionSetAccelPath and actionSetAccelGroup
Since multiple proxies may independently trigger the installation of the
accelerator, the action counts the number of times this function has been
called and doesn't remove the accelerator until
actionDisconnectAccelerator has been called as many times.
actionDisconnectAccelerator :: ActionClass self => self -> IO ()Source
Undoes the effect of one call to actionConnectAccelerator.
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> IO (Maybe String) | returns the accel path for this action, or
|
Returns the accel path for this action.
- Available since Gtk+ version 2.6
Arguments
| :: ActionClass self | |
| => self | |
| -> String |
|
| -> IO () |
Sets the accel path for this action. All proxy widgets associated with the action will have this accel path, so that their accelerators are consistent.
actionSetAccelGroup :: ActionClass self => self -> AccelGroup -> IO ()Source
Sets the AccelGroup in which the accelerator for this action will be
installed.
