A GtkMenu is a GtkMenuShell that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of GtkMenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.
A GtkMenu is most commonly dropped down by activating a GtkMenuItem in a GtkMenuBar or popped up by activating a GtkMenuItem in another GtkMenu.
A GtkMenu can also be popped up by activating a GtkOptionMenu. Other composite widgets such as the GtkNotebook can pop up a GtkMenu as well.
Applications can display a GtkMenu as a popup menu by calling the
gtk_menu_popup() function. The example below shows how an application
can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.
Example 24. Connecting the popup signal handler.
/* connect our handler which will popup the menu */
g_signal_connect_swapped (window, "button_press_event",
G_CALLBACK (my_popup_handler), menu);
Example 25. Signal handler which displays a popup menu.
static gint
my_popup_handler (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event)
{
GtkMenu *menu;
GdkEventButton *event_button;
g_return_val_if_fail (widget != NULL, FALSE);
g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_MENU (widget), FALSE);
g_return_val_if_fail (event != NULL, FALSE);
/* The "widget" is the menu that was supplied when
* g_signal_connect_swapped() was called.
*/
menu = GTK_MENU (widget);
if (event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS)
{
event_button = (GdkEventButton *) event;
if (event_button->button == 3)
{
gtk_menu_popup (menu, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
event_button->button, event_button->time);
return TRUE;
}
}
return FALSE;
}
typedef struct _GtkMenu GtkMenu;
The GtkMenu struct contains private data only, and should be accessed using the functions below.
void gtk_menu_set_screen (GtkMenu *menu, GdkScreen *screen);
Sets the GdkScreen on which the menu will be displayed.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
screen : |
a GdkScreen, or NULL if the screen should be
determined by the widget the menu is attached to.
|
Since 2.2

void gtk_menu_attach (GtkMenu *menu, GtkWidget *child, guint left_attach, guint right_attach, guint top_attach, guint bottom_attach);
Adds a new GtkMenuItem to a (table) menu. The number of 'cells' that
an item will occupy is specified by left_attach, right_attach,
top_attach and bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost,
rightmost, uppermost and lower column and row numbers of the table.
(Columns and rows are indexed from zero).
Note that this function is not related to gtk_menu_detach().

Since 2.4
void gtk_menu_popup (GtkMenu *menu, GtkWidget *parent_menu_shell, GtkWidget *parent_menu_item, GtkMenuPositionFunc func, gpointer data, guint button, guint32 activate_time);
Displays a menu and makes it available for selection. Applications can use
this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply
NULL for the parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func and data
parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu
at the current mouse cursor position.
The button parameter should be the mouse button pressed to initiate
the menu popup. If the menu popup was initiated by something other than
a mouse button press, such as a mouse button release or a keypress,
button should be 0.
The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of
concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function
properly, this needs to be the time stamp of the user event (such as
a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup.
Only if no such event is available, gtk_get_current_event_time() can
be used instead.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
parent_menu_shell : |
the menu shell containing the triggering menu item, or NULL
|
parent_menu_item : |
the menu item whose activation triggered the popup, or NULL
|
func : |
a user supplied function used to position the menu, or NULL
|
data : |
user supplied data to be passed to func.
|
button : |
the mouse button which was pressed to initiate the event. |
activate_time : |
the time at which the activation event occurred. |
void gtk_menu_set_accel_group (GtkMenu *menu, GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);
Set the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu.
This accelerator group needs to also be added to all windows that
this menu is being used in with gtk_window_add_accel_group(), in order
for those windows to support all the accelerators contained in this group.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
accel_group : |
the GtkAccelGroup to be associated with the menu. |
GtkAccelGroup* gtk_menu_get_accel_group (GtkMenu *menu);
Gets the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu.
See gtk_menu_set_accel_group().
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
| Returns : | the GtkAccelGroup associated with the menu. |
void gtk_menu_set_accel_path (GtkMenu *menu, const gchar *accel_path);
Sets an accelerator path for this menu from which accelerator paths
for its immediate children, its menu items, can be constructed.
The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the
inconvenience of having to call gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() on
each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators.
Instead, by just calling gtk_menu_set_accel_path() on their parent,
each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose,
automatically gets an accel path assigned. For example, a menu containing
menu items "New" and "Exit", will, after
gtk_menu_set_accel_path (menu, "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File");
has been called, assign its items the accel paths:
"<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/New" and "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/Exit".
Assigning accel paths to menu items then enables the user to change
their accelerators at runtime. More details about accelerator paths
and their default setups can be found at gtk_accel_map_add_entry().
menu : |
a valid GtkMenu |
accel_path : |
a valid accelerator path |
void gtk_menu_set_title (GtkMenu *menu, const gchar *title);
Sets the title string for the menu. The title is displayed when the menu
is shown as a tearoff menu. If title is NULL, the menu will see if it is
attached to a parent menu item, and if so it will try to use the same text as
that menu item's label.
menu : |
a GtkMenu |
title : |
a string containing the title for the menu. |
gboolean gtk_menu_get_tearoff_state (GtkMenu *menu);
Returns whether the menu is torn off. See
gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state().
const gchar* gtk_menu_get_title (GtkMenu *menu);
Returns the title of the menu. See gtk_menu_set_title().
void gtk_menu_popdown (GtkMenu *menu);
Removes the menu from the screen.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
void gtk_menu_reposition (GtkMenu *menu);
Repositions the menu according to its position function.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
GtkWidget* gtk_menu_get_active (GtkMenu *menu);
Returns the selected menu item from the menu. This is used by the GtkOptionMenu.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
| Returns : | the GtkMenuItem that was last selected in the menu. If a selection has not yet been made, the first menu item is selected. |
void gtk_menu_set_active (GtkMenu *menu, guint index_);
Selects the specified menu item within the menu. This is used by the GtkOptionMenu and should not be used by anyone else.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
index_ : |
the index of the menu item to select. Index values are from 0 to n-1. |
void gtk_menu_set_tearoff_state (GtkMenu *menu, gboolean torn_off);
Changes the tearoff state of the menu. A menu is normally displayed as drop down menu which persists as long as the menu is active. It can also be displayed as a tearoff menu which persists until it is closed or reattached.
void gtk_menu_attach_to_widget (GtkMenu *menu, GtkWidget *attach_widget, GtkMenuDetachFunc detacher);
Attaches the menu to the widget and provides a callback function that will
be invoked when the menu calls gtk_menu_detach() during its destruction.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
attach_widget : |
the GtkWidget that the menu will be attached to. |
detacher : |
the user supplied callback function that will be called when
the menu calls gtk_menu_detach().
|
void gtk_menu_detach (GtkMenu *menu);
Detaches the menu from the widget to which it had been attached.
This function will call the callback function, detacher, provided
when the gtk_menu_attach_to_widget() function was called.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
GtkWidget* gtk_menu_get_attach_widget (GtkMenu *menu);
Returns the GtkWidget that the menu is attached to.
GList* gtk_menu_get_for_attach_widget (GtkWidget *widget);
Returns a list of the menus which are attached to this widget. This list is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified.
widget : |
a GtkWidget |
| Returns : | the list of menus attached to his widget. |
Since 2.6
void (*GtkMenuPositionFunc) (GtkMenu *menu, gint *x, gint *y, gboolean *push_in, gpointer user_data);
A user function supplied when calling gtk_menu_popup() which controls the
positioning of the menu when it is displayed. The function sets the x
and y parameters to the coordinates where the menu is to be drawn.
menu : |
a GtkMenu. |
x : |
address of the gint representing the horizontal position where the menu shall be drawn. This is an output parameter. |
y : |
address of the gint representing the vertical position where the menu shall be drawn. This is an output parameter. |
push_in : |
This parameter controls how menus placed outside the monitor are handled.
If this is set to TRUE and part of the menu is outside the monitor then
GTK+ pushes the window into the visible area, effectively modifying the
popup position.
Note that moving and possibly resizing the menu around will alter the
scroll position to keep the menu items "in place", i.e. at the same monitor
position they would have been without resizing.
In practice, this behavior is only useful for combobox popups or option
menus and cannot be used to simply confine a menu to monitor boundaries.
In that case, changing the scroll offset is not desirable.
To simply constrain the menu within the monitor, get its size with
gtk_widget_size_request() before showing it, and alter the coordinates
passed to gtk_menu_popup() accordingly.
|
user_data : |
the data supplied by the user in the gtk_menu_popup() data
parameter.
|
void (*GtkMenuDetachFunc) (GtkWidget *attach_widget, GtkMenu *menu);
A user function supplied when calling gtk_menu_attach_to_widget() which
will be called when the menu is later detached from the widget.
void gtk_menu_set_monitor (GtkMenu *menu, gint monitor_num);
Informs GTK+ on which monitor a menu should be popped up.
See gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry().
This function should be called from a GtkMenuPositionFunc if the menu should not appear on the same monitor as the pointer. This information can't be reliably inferred from the coordinates returned by a GtkMenuPositionFunc, since, for very long menus, these coordinates may extend beyond the monitor boundaries or even the screen boundaries.
menu : |
a GtkMenu |
monitor_num : |
the number of the monitor on which the menu should be popped up |
