Struct gtk4::ApplicationWindow

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct ApplicationWindow { /* private fields */ }

ApplicationWindow is a Window subclass that integrates with Application.

Notably, ApplicationWindow can handle an application menubar.

This class implements the GActionGroup and GActionMap interfaces, to let you add window-specific actions that will be exported by the associated Application, together with its application-wide actions. Window-specific actions are prefixed with the “win.” prefix and application-wide actions are prefixed with the “app.” prefix. Actions must be addressed with the prefixed name when referring to them from a GMenuModel.

Note that widgets that are placed inside a ApplicationWindow can also activate these actions, if they implement the Actionable interface.

The settings gtk-shell-shows-app-menu and gtk-shell-shows-menubar tell GTK whether the desktop environment is showing the application menu and menubar models outside the application as part of the desktop shell. For instance, on OS X, both menus will be displayed remotely; on Windows neither will be.

If the desktop environment does not display the menubar, then ApplicationWindow will automatically show a menubar for it. This behaviour can be overridden with the show-menubar property. If the desktop environment does not display the application menu, then it will automatically be included in the menubar or in the windows client-side decorations.

See PopoverMenu for information about the XML language used by Builder for menu models.

See also: GtkApplicationExt::set_menubar().

A GtkApplicationWindow with a menubar

The code sample below shows how to set up a ApplicationWindow with a menu bar defined on the Application:

⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

GtkApplication *app = gtk_application_new ("org.gtk.test", 0);

GtkBuilder *builder = gtk_builder_new_from_string (
    "<interface>"
    "  <menu id='menubar'>"
    "    <submenu>"
    "      <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>_Edit</attribute>"
    "      <item>"
    "        <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>_Copy</attribute>"
    "        <attribute name='action'>win.copy</attribute>"
    "      </item>"
    "      <item>"
    "        <attribute name='label' translatable='yes'>_Paste</attribute>"
    "        <attribute name='action'>win.paste</attribute>"
    "      </item>"
    "    </submenu>"
    "  </menu>"
    "</interface>",
    -1);

GMenuModel *menubar = G_MENU_MODEL (gtk_builder_get_object (builder, "menubar"));
gtk_application_set_menubar (GTK_APPLICATION (app), menubar);
g_object_unref (builder);

// ...

GtkWidget *window = gtk_application_window_new (app);

Properties

show-menubar

If this property is true, the window will display a menubar unless it is shown by the desktop shell.

See GtkApplicationExt::set_menubar().

If false, the window will not display a menubar, regardless of whether the desktop shell is showing it or not.

Readable | Writeable | Construct

Window

application

The Application associated with the window.

The application will be kept alive for at least as long as it has any windows associated with it (see g_application_hold() for a way to keep it alive without windows).

Normally, the connection between the application and the window will remain until the window is destroyed, but you can explicitly remove it by setting the :application property to None.

Readable | Writeable

child

The child widget.

Readable | Writeable

decorated

Whether the window should have a frame (also known as decorations).

Readable | Writeable

default-height

The default height of the window.

Readable | Writeable

This property is maintained by GTK based on user input and should not be set by applications.

Readable | Writeable

focus-widget

The focus widget.

Readable | Writeable

fullscreened

Whether the window is fullscreen.

Setting this property is the equivalent of calling GtkWindowExt::fullscreen() or GtkWindowExt::unfullscreen(); either operation is asynchronous, which means you will need to connect to the ::notify signal in order to know whether the operation was successful.

Readable | Writeable | Construct

Readable | Writeable

hide-on-close

If this window should be hidden when the users clicks the close button.

See IconTheme for more details.

Readable | Writeable

is-active

Whether the toplevel is the currently active window.

Readable

maximized

Whether the window is maximized.

Setting this property is the equivalent of calling GtkWindowExt::maximize() or GtkWindowExt::unmaximize(); either operation is asynchronous, which means you will need to connect to the ::notify signal in order to know whether the operation was successful.

Readable | Writeable | Construct

mnemonics-visible

This property is maintained by GTK based on user input, and should not be set by applications.
