class: ShortcutAction

[27:7] extends: object

Encodes an action that can be triggered by a keyboard shortcut. GtkShortcutActions contain functions that allow easy presentation to end users as well as being printed for debugging. All GtkShortcutActions are immutable, you can only specify their properties during construction. If you want to change a action, you have to replace it with a new one. If you need to pass arguments to an action, these are specified by the higher-level GtkShortcut object. To activate a GtkShortcutAction manually, [method@Gtk.ShortcutAction.activate] can be called. GTK provides various actions: - [class@Gtk.MnemonicAction]: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate() - [class@Gtk.CallbackAction]: a shortcut action that invokes a given callback - [class@Gtk.SignalAction]: a shortcut action that emits a given signal - [class@Gtk.ActivateAction]: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_activate() - [class@Gtk.NamedAction]: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_activate_action() - [class@Gtk.NothingAction]: a shortcut action that does nothing

Methods

• ShortcutAction (argString = null)

  Tries to parse the given string into an action. On success, the parsed action is returned. When parsing failed, %NULL is returned. The accepted strings are: - nothing, for GtkNothingAction - activate, for GtkActivateAction - mnemonic-activate, for GtkMnemonicAction - action(NAME), for a GtkNamedAction for the action named NAME - signal(NAME), for a GtkSignalAction for the signal NAME

  • @p argString is the string to parse.

• toNativeHandle (Source)

  Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.

  • @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
  • @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.

• getLib ()

  Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.

  • @r The opened native library.

• handle ()

  Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.

  • @r The wrapped NativeHandle.

• isNull ()

  Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.

  • @r A bool.

• describe ()

  Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.

  • @r A string.

• asObject ()

  Wraps this handle as Object.

  • @r A Object object.

• activate (string flags, object widget, object args)

  Activates the action on the @widget with the given @args. Note that some actions ignore the passed in @flags, @widget or @args. Activation of an action can fail for various reasons. If the action is not supported by the @widget, if the @args don't match the action or if the activation otherwise had no effect, %FALSE will be returned.

  • @p flags is flags to activate with.
  • @p widget is Target of the activation.
  • @p args is arguments to pass.

• print (arg1String)

  Prints the given action into a string for the developer. This is meant for debugging and logging. The form of the representation may change at any time and is not guaranteed to stay identical.

  • @p string is a GString to print into.
  • @r None.

• to_string ()

  Prints the given action into a human-readable string. This is a small wrapper around [method@Gtk.ShortcutAction.print] to help when debugging.
