                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Creates a new GtkItemFactory.

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
Returns : a new GtkItemFactory

                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Initializes an item factory.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
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 ifactory, 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

gtk_item_factory_add_foreign ()

void        gtk_item_factory_add_foreign    (GtkWidget *accel_widget,
                                             const gchar *full_path,

                                             GdkModifierType modifiers);

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. 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.

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

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.

GtkWidget*  gtk_item_factory_get_item       (GtkItemFactory *ifactory,
                                             const gchar *path);

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 ()

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 ()

Obtains the widget which was constructed from the GtkItemFactoryEntry with the given action.

If there are multiple items with the same action, the result is undefined.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
action : an action as specified in the callback_action field of GtkItemFactoryEntry
Returns : the widget which corresponds to the given action, or NULL if no widget was found

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
action : an action as specified in the callback_action field of GtkItemFactoryEntry

                                             GtkItemFactoryEntry *entries);

Deletes the menu items which were created from the entries by the given item factory.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
n_entries : the length of entries
entries : an array of GtkItemFactoryEntrys

gtk_item_factory_popup ()

void        gtk_item_factory_popup          (GtkItemFactory *ifactory,
                                             guint x,

Pops up the menu constructed from the item factory at (x, y).

The mouse_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, mouse_button should be 0.

The time_ parameter should be the time stamp of the event that initiated the popup. If such an event is not available, use gtk_get_current_event_time() instead.

The operation of the mouse_button and the time_ parameter is the same as the button and activation_time parameters for gtk_menu_popup().

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory of type GTK_TYPE_MENU (see gtk_item_factory_new())
x : the x position
y : the y position
mouse_button : the mouse button which was pressed to initiate the popup
time_ : the time at which the activation event occurred

                                             guint32 time_);

Pops up the menu constructed from the item factory at (x, y). Callbacks can access the popup_data while the menu is posted via gtk_item_factory_popup_data() and gtk_item_factory_popup_data_from_widget().

The mouse_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, mouse_button should be 0.

The time_ parameter should be the time stamp of the event that initiated the popup. If such an event is not available, use gtk_get_current_event_time() instead.

The operation of the mouse_button and the time_ parameters is the same as the button and activation_time parameters for gtk_menu_popup().

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory of type GTK_TYPE_MENU (see gtk_item_factory_new())
popup_data : data available for callbacks while the menu is posted
destroy : a GtkDestroyNotify function to be called on popup_data when the menu is unposted
x : the x position
y : the y position
mouse_button : the mouse button which was pressed to initiate the popup
time_ : the time at which the activation event occurred

gtk_item_factory_popup_data ()

gpointer    gtk_item_factory_popup_data     (GtkItemFactory *ifactory);

Obtains the popup_data which was passed to gtk_item_factory_popup_with_data(). This data is available until the menu is popped down again.

ifactory : a GtkItemFactory
Returns : popup_data associated with ifactory

gtk_item_factory_popup_data_from_widget ()

gpointer    gtk_item_factory_popup_data_from_widget
                                            (GtkWidget *widget);

Obtains the popup_data which was passed to gtk_item_factory_popup_with_data(). This data is available until the menu is popped down again.

widget : a widget
Returns : popup_data associated with the item factory from which widget was created, or NULL if widget wasn't created by an item factory

gtk_item_factory_from_path ()

GtkItemFactory* gtk_item_factory_from_path  (const gchar *path);

Warning

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

path : a string starting with a factory path of the form "<name>"
Returns : the GtkItemFactory created for the given factory path, or NULL

gtk_item_factories_path_delete ()

void        gtk_item_factories_path_delete  (const gchar *ifactory_path,
                                             const gchar *path);

Warning

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

Deletes all widgets constructed from the specified path.

ifactory_path : a factory path to prepend to path. May be NULL if path starts with a factory path
