gtk_menu_append()

#define gtk_menu_append(menu,child) gtk_menu_shell_append  ((GtkMenuShell *)(menu),(child))

gtk_menu_prepend()

#define gtk_menu_prepend(menu,child)    gtk_menu_shell_prepend ((GtkMenuShell *)(menu),(child))

gtk_menu_reorder_child ()

void
gtk_menu_reorder_child (GtkMenu *menu,
                        GtkWidget *child,
                        gint position);

gtk_menu_attach ()

void
gtk_menu_attach (GtkMenu *menu,
                 GtkWidget *child,
                 guint left_attach,
                 guint right_attach,
                 guint top_attach,
                 guint bottom_attach);

Adds a new GtkMenuItem to a (table) menu. The number of 'cells' that an item will occupy is specified by left_attach , right_attach , top_attach and bottom_attach . These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lower column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

Note that this function is not related to gtk_menu_detach().

gtk_menu_popup ()

void
gtk_menu_popup (GtkMenu *menu,
                GtkWidget *parent_menu_shell,
                GtkWidget *parent_menu_item,
                GtkMenuPositionFunc func,
                gpointer data,
                guint button,
                guint32 activate_time);

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection. Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply NULL for the parent_menu_shell , parent_menu_item , func and data parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu at the current mouse cursor position.

The 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, button should be 0.

The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function properly, this needs to be the time stamp of the user event (such as a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup. Only if no such event is available, gtk_get_current_event_time() can be used instead.

gtk_menu_set_accel_group ()

void
gtk_menu_set_accel_group (GtkMenu *menu,
                          GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

gtk_menu_get_accel_group ()

GtkAccelGroup *
gtk_menu_get_accel_group (GtkMenu *menu);

Gets the GtkAccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. See gtk_menu_set_accel_group().

gtk_menu_set_accel_path ()

void
gtk_menu_set_accel_path (GtkMenu *menu,
                         const gchar *accel_path);

Sets an accelerator path for this menu from which accelerator paths for its immediate children, its menu items, can be constructed. The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the inconvenience of having to call gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling gtk_menu_set_accel_path() on their parent, each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose, automatically gets an accel path assigned. For example, a menu containing menu items "New" and "Exit", will, after gtk_menu_set_accel_path (menu, "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File"); has been called, assign its items the accel paths: "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/New" and "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/Exit". Assigning accel paths to menu items then enables the user to change their accelerators at runtime. More details about accelerator paths and their default setups can be found at gtk_accel_map_add_entry().

Note that accel_path string will be stored in a GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with g_intern_static_string().

gtk_menu_get_accel_path ()

const gchar *
gtk_menu_get_accel_path (GtkMenu *menu);

Retrieves the accelerator path set on the menu.

Since: 2.14

gtk_menu_set_title ()

void
gtk_menu_set_title (GtkMenu *menu,
                    const gchar *title);

Sets the title string for the menu. The title is displayed when the menu is shown as a tearoff menu. If title is NULL, the menu will see if it is attached to a parent menu item, and if so it will try to use the same text as that menu item's label.

gtk_menu_get_title ()

const gchar *
gtk_menu_get_title (GtkMenu *menu);

Returns the title of the menu. See gtk_menu_set_title().

gtk_menu_set_monitor ()

void
gtk_menu_set_monitor (GtkMenu *menu,
                      gint monitor_num);

Informs GTK+ on which monitor a menu should be popped up. See gdk_screen_get_monitor_geometry().

This function should be called from a GtkMenuPositionFunc if the menu should not appear on the same monitor as the pointer. This information can't be reliably inferred from the coordinates returned by a GtkMenuPositionFunc, since, for very long menus, these coordinates may extend beyond the monitor boundaries or even the screen boundaries.

Since: 2.4

gtk_menu_get_monitor ()

gint
gtk_menu_get_monitor (GtkMenu *menu);

Retrieves the number of the monitor on which to show the menu.

Since: 2.14

gtk_menu_set_reserve_toggle_size ()

void
gtk_menu_set_reserve_toggle_size (GtkMenu *menu,
                                  gboolean reserve_toggle_size);

Sets whether the menu should reserve space for drawing toggles or icons, regardless of their actual presence.

Since: 2.18
