Struct gio::ActionGroup [−][src]
pub struct ActionGroup(_);
Expand description
ActionGroup
represents a group of actions. Actions can be used to
expose functionality in a structured way, either from one part of a
program to another, or to the outside world. Action groups are often
used together with a MenuModel
that provides additional
representation data for displaying the actions to the user, e.g. in
a menu.
The main way to interact with the actions in a GActionGroup is to
activate them with ActionGroupExt::activate_action()
. Activating an
action may require a glib::Variant
parameter. The required type of the
parameter can be inquired with ActionGroupExt::action_parameter_type()
.
Actions may be disabled, see ActionGroupExt::is_action_enabled()
.
Activating a disabled action has no effect.
Actions may optionally have a state in the form of a glib::Variant
. The
current state of an action can be inquired with
ActionGroupExt::action_state()
. Activating a stateful action may
change its state, but it is also possible to set the state by calling
ActionGroupExt::change_action_state()
.
As typical example, consider a text editing application which has an option to change the current font to ‘bold’. A good way to represent this would be a stateful action, with a boolean state. Activating the action would toggle the state.
Each action in the group has a unique name (which is a string). All
method calls, except ActionGroupExt::list_actions()
take the name of
an action as an argument.
The ActionGroup
API is meant to be the ‘public’ API to the action
group. The calls here are exactly the interaction that ‘external
forces’ (eg: UI, incoming D-Bus messages, etc.) are supposed to have
with actions. ‘Internal’ APIs (ie: ones meant only to be accessed by
the action group implementation) are found on subclasses. This is
why you will find - for example - ActionGroupExt::is_action_enabled()
but not an equivalent set()
call.
Signals are emitted on the action group in response to state changes on individual actions.
Implementations of ActionGroup
should provide implementations for
the virtual functions ActionGroupExt::list_actions()
and
g_action_group_query_action()
. The other virtual functions should
not be implemented - their “wrappers” are actually implemented with
calls to g_action_group_query_action()
.
