GI.Gtk.Objects.MenuShell

Description

A MenuShell is the abstract base class used to derive the Menu and MenuBar subclasses.

A MenuShell is a container of MenuItem objects arranged in a list which can be navigated, selected, and activated by the user to perform application functions. A MenuItem can have a submenu associated with it, allowing for nested hierarchical menus.

Terminology

A menu item can be “selected”, this means that it is displayed in the prelight state, and if it has a submenu, that submenu will be popped up.

A menu is “active” when it is visible onscreen and the user is selecting from it. A menubar is not active until the user clicks on one of its menuitems. When a menu is active, passing the mouse over a submenu will pop it up.

There is also is a concept of the current menu and a current menu item. The current menu item is the selected menu item that is furthest down in the hierarchy. (Every active menu shell does not necessarily contain a selected menu item, but if it does, then the parent menu shell must also contain a selected menu item.) The current menu is the menu that contains the current menu item. It will always have a GTK grab and receive all key presses.

Methods

Overloaded methods

activateItem

menuShellActivateItem Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsMenuShell a, IsWidget b) 
=> a

menuShell: a MenuShell

-> b

menuItem: the MenuItem to activate

-> Bool

forceDeactivate: if True, force the deactivation of the menu shell after the menu item is activated

-> m () 

Activates the menu item within the menu shell.

append

menuShellAppend Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsMenuShell a, IsMenuItem b) 
=> a

menuShell: a MenuShell

-> b

child: The MenuItem to add

-> m () 

Adds a new MenuItem to the end of the menu shell's item list.

bindModel

menuShellBindModel Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsMenuShell a, IsMenuModel b) 
=> a

menuShell: a MenuShell

-> Maybe b

model: the MenuModel to bind to or Nothing to remove binding

-> Maybe Text

actionNamespace: the namespace for actions in model

-> Bool

withSeparators: True if toplevel items in shell should have separators between them

-> m () 

Establishes a binding between a MenuShell and a MenuModel.

The contents of shell are removed and then refilled with menu items according to model. When model changes, shell is updated. Calling this function twice on shell with different model will cause the first binding to be replaced with a binding to the new model. If model is Nothing then any previous binding is undone and all children are removed.

withSeparators determines if toplevel items (eg: sections) have separators inserted between them. This is typically desired for menus but doesn’t make sense for menubars.

If actionNamespace is non-Nothing then the effect is as if all actions mentioned in the model have their names prefixed with the namespace, plus a dot. For example, if the action “quit” is mentioned and actionNamespace is “app” then the effective action name is “app.quit”.

This function uses Actionable to define the action name and target values on the created menu items. If you want to use an action group other than “app” and “win”, or if you want to use a MenuShell outside of a ApplicationWindow, then you will need to attach your own action group to the widget hierarchy using widgetInsertActionGroup. As an example, if you created a group with a “quit” action and inserted it with the name “mygroup” then you would use the action name “mygroup.quit” in your MenuModel.

For most cases you are probably better off using menuNewFromModel or menuBarNewFromModel or just directly passing the MenuModel to applicationSetAppMenu or applicationSetMenubar.

setTakeFocus

menuShellSetTakeFocus Source #

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsMenuShell a) 
=> a

menuShell: a MenuShell

-> Bool

takeFocus: True if the menu shell should take the keyboard focus on popup

-> m () 

If takeFocus is True (the default) the menu shell will take the keyboard focus so that it will receive all keyboard events which is needed to enable keyboard navigation in menus.

Setting takeFocus to False is useful only for special applications like virtual keyboard implementations which should not take keyboard focus.

The takeFocus state of a menu or menu bar is automatically propagated to submenus whenever a submenu is popped up, so you don’t have to worry about recursively setting it for your entire menu hierarchy. Only when programmatically picking a submenu and popping it up manually, the takeFocus property of the submenu needs to be set explicitly.

Note that setting it to False has side-effects:

If the focus is in some other app, it keeps the focus and keynav in the menu doesn’t work. Consequently, keynav on the menu will only work if the focus is on some toplevel owned by the onscreen keyboard.

To avoid confusing the user, menus with takeFocus set to False should not display mnemonics or accelerators, since it cannot be guaranteed that they will work.
