List of all members.

Detailed Description

A menu item that maintains the state of a boolean value in addition to a Gtk::MenuItem's usual role in activating application code.

A check box indicating the state of the boolean value is displayed at the left side of the Gtk::MenuItem. Activating the Gtk::MenuItem toggles the value.


Public Member Functions

 CheckMenuItem (const Glib::ustring& label, bool mnemonic=false)
 CheckMenuItem ()
bool get_active () const
 Returns whether the check menu item is active.
bool get_draw_as_radio () const
 Returns whether check_menu_item looks like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem.
bool get_inconsistent () const
 Retrieves the value set by set_inconsistent().
const GtkCheckMenuItem* gobj () const
 Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.
GtkCheckMenuItem* gobj ()
 Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.
void set_active (bool state=true)
void set_draw_as_radio (bool draw_as_radio=true)
 Sets whether check_menu_item is drawn like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem.
void set_inconsistent (bool setting=true)
 If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a boolean setting, and the current values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the check in an "in between" state.

Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::CheckMenuItem::get_active (  )  const

Returns whether the check menu item is active.

See set_active().

Returns:
true if the menu item is checked.

bool Gtk::CheckMenuItem::get_draw_as_radio (  )  const

Returns whether check_menu_item looks like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

Returns:
Whether check_menu_item looks like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem
Since gtkmm 2.4:

bool Gtk::CheckMenuItem::get_inconsistent (  )  const

Retrieves the value set by set_inconsistent().

Returns:
true if inconsistent.

const GtkCheckMenuItem* Gtk::CheckMenuItem::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuItem.

Reimplemented in Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

GtkCheckMenuItem* Gtk::CheckMenuItem::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuItem.

Reimplemented in Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

void Gtk::CheckMenuItem::set_active ( bool  state = true  ) 

void Gtk::CheckMenuItem::set_draw_as_radio ( bool  draw_as_radio = true  ) 

Sets whether check_menu_item is drawn like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
draw_as_radio Whether check_menu_item is drawn like a Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

void Gtk::CheckMenuItem::set_inconsistent ( bool  setting = true  ) 

If the user has selected a range of elements (such as some text or spreadsheet cells) that are affected by a boolean setting, and the current values in that range are inconsistent, you may want to display the check in an "in between" state.

This function turns on "in between" display. Normally you would turn off the inconsistent state again if the user explicitly selects a setting. This has to be done manually, set_inconsistent() only affects visual appearance, it doesn't affect the semantics of the widget.

Parameters:
setting true to display an "inconsistent" third state check.

Friends And Related Function Documentation

Gtk::CheckMenuItem* wrap ( GtkCheckMenuItem *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

Parameters:
object The C instance

Parameters:
take_copy False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
