Warning

gtk_item_factory_new has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Creates a new GtkItemFactory.

Beware that the returned object does not have a floating reference.

container_type : the kind of menu to create; can be GTK_TYPE_MENU_BAR, GTK_TYPE_MENU or GTK_TYPE_OPTION_MENU
path : the factory path of the new item factory, a string of the form "<name>"
accel_group : a GtkAccelGroup to which the accelerators for the menu items will be added, or NULL to create a new one

Warning

gtk_item_factory_add_foreign has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. The recommended API for this purpose are the functions gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() and gtk_widget_set_accel_path(); don't use gtk_item_factory_add_foreign() in new code, since it is likely to be removed in the future.

Installs an accelerator for accel_widget in accel_group, that causes the ::activate signal to be emitted if the accelerator is activated.

This function can be used to make widgets participate in the accel saving/restoring functionality provided by gtk_accel_map_save() and gtk_accel_map_load(), even if they haven't been created by an item factory.

accel_widget : widget to install an accelerator on
full_path : the full path for the accel_widget
accel_group : the accelerator group to install the accelerator in
keyval : key value of the accelerator
modifiers : modifier combination of the accelerator

gtk_item_factory_from_widget ()

GtkItemFactory*     gtk_item_factory_from_widget        (GtkWidget *widget);

Warning

gtk_item_factory_from_widget is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 2.4

Obtains the item factory from which a widget was created.

widget : a widget
Returns : the item factory from which widget was created, or NULL

gtk_item_factory_path_from_widget ()

const gchar*        gtk_item_factory_path_from_widget   (GtkWidget *widget);

Warning

gtk_item_factory_path_from_widget has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

If widget has been created by an item factory, returns the full path to it. (The full path of a widget is the concatenation of the factory path specified in gtk_item_factory_new() with the path specified in the GtkItemFactoryEntry from which the widget was created.)

widget : a widget
Returns : the full path to widget if it has been created by an item factory, NULL otherwise. This value is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified or freed.

gtk_item_factory_get_item ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_item_factory_get_item           (GtkItemFactory *ifactory,

Warning

gtk_item_factory_get_item has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Obtains the menu item which corresponds to path.

If the widget corresponding to path is a menu item which opens a submenu, then the item is returned. If you are interested in the submenu, use gtk_item_factory_get_widget() instead.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
path : the path to the menu item
Returns : the menu item for the given path, or NULL if path doesn't lead to a menu item

gtk_item_factory_get_widget ()

GtkWidget*          gtk_item_factory_get_widget         (GtkItemFactory *ifactory,

Warning

gtk_item_factory_get_widget has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Obtains the widget which corresponds to path.

If the widget corresponding to path is a menu item which opens a submenu, then the submenu is returned. If you are interested in the menu item, use gtk_item_factory_get_item() instead.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
path : the path to the widget
Returns : the widget for the given path, or NULL if path doesn't lead to a widget

gtk_item_factory_get_widget_by_action ()

Warning

gtk_item_factory_get_widget_by_action has been deprecated since version 2.4 and should not be used in newly-written code.
