Description

The GtkMenuBar is a subclass of GtkMenuShell which contains one to many GtkMenuItem. The result is a standard menu bar which can hold many menu items. GtkMenuBar allows for a shadow type to be set for aesthetic purposes. The shadow types are defined in the gtk_menu_bar_set_shadow_type function.

Details

GtkMenuBar

typedef struct _GtkMenuBar GtkMenuBar;

The GtkMenuBar struct contains the following fields. (These fields should be considered read-only. They should never be set by an application.)

gtk_menu_bar_new ()

GtkWidget*  gtk_menu_bar_new                (void);

Creates the new GtkMenuBar

Returns : the GtkMenuBar

gtk_menu_bar_append()

#define gtk_menu_bar_append(menu,child)	    gtk_menu_shell_append  ((GtkMenuShell *)(menu),(child))

Warning

gtk_menu_bar_append is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_menu_shell_append() instead.

Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the end of the GtkMenuBar

menu : a GtkMenuBar
child : the GtkMenuItem to add

gtk_menu_bar_prepend()

#define gtk_menu_bar_prepend(menu,child)    gtk_menu_shell_prepend ((GtkMenuShell *)(menu),(child))

Warning

gtk_menu_bar_prepend is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_menu_shell_prepend() instead.

Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the beginning of the GtkMenuBar

menu : a GtkMenuBar
child : the GtkMenuItem to add

gtk_menu_bar_insert()

#define gtk_menu_bar_insert(menu,child,pos) gtk_menu_shell_insert ((GtkMenuShell *)(menu),(child),(pos))

Warning

gtk_menu_bar_insert is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_menu_shell_insert() instead.

Adds a new GtkMenuItem to the GtkMenuBar at the position defined by position

menu : a GtkMenuBar
child : the GtkMenuItem to add
pos : the position in the item list where the child is added.

enum GtkPackDirection

typedef enum
{
  GTK_PACK_DIRECTION_LTR,
  GTK_PACK_DIRECTION_RTL,

  GTK_PACK_DIRECTION_BTT
} GtkPackDirection;

gtk_menu_bar_set_pack_direction ()

void        gtk_menu_bar_set_pack_direction (GtkMenuBar *menubar,
                                             GtkPackDirection pack_dir);

Sets how items should be packed inside a menubar.

menubar : a GtkMenuBar.
