Detailed Description

A drop-down menu consisting of Gtk::MenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.

Menus are normally placed inside a Gtk::MenuBar or another MenuItem as a sub menu. A Menu can also be popped up, for instance as a right-click context menu, by calling the popup() method. See also Gtk::OptionMenu.

void Gtk::Menu::attach ( Gtk::Widget child,
guint  left_attach,
guint  right_attach,
guint  top_attach,
guint  bottom_attach
 

Adds a new Gtk::MenuItem 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 detach().

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
child A Gtk::MenuItem.
left_attach The column number to attach the left side of the item to.
right_attach The column number to attach the right side of the item to.
top_attach The row number to attach the top of the item to.
bottom_attach The row number to attach the bottom of the item to.

bool Gtk::Menu::get_tearoff_state (  )  const
 

Returns whether the menu is torn off.

See set_tearoff_state().

Returns:
true if the menu is currently torn off.

Glib::ustring Gtk::Menu::get_title (  )  const
 

Returns the title of the menu.

See set_title().

Returns:
The title of the menu, or 0 if the menu has no title set on it. This string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed.

const GtkMenu* Gtk::Menu::gobj (  )  const [inline]
 

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuShell.

GtkMenu* Gtk::Menu::gobj (  )  [inline]
 

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuShell.

void Gtk::Menu::popdown (  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::popup ( guint  button,
guint32  activate_time
 

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, at the current pointer position.

Parameters:
button The button which was pressed to initiate the event.
activate_time The time at which the activation event occurred.

void Gtk::Menu::popup ( const SlotPositionCalc position_calc_slot,
guint  button,
guint32  activate_time
 

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus.

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 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.

Parameters:
func A position_calc_slot supplied function used to position the menu, or 0.
button The mouse button which was pressed to initiate the event.
activate_time The time at which the activation event occurred.

void Gtk::Menu::popup ( MenuShell parent_menu_shell,
MenuItem parent_menu_item,
const SlotPositionCalc slot,
guint  button,

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Glib::ustring> Gtk::Menu::property_tearoff_title (  )  const
 

A title that may be displayed by the window manager when this menu is torn-off.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<Glib::ustring> Gtk::Menu::property_tearoff_title (  ) 
 

A title that may be displayed by the window manager when this menu is torn-off.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

void Gtk::Menu::reorder_child ( const MenuItem child,
int  position
 

void Gtk::Menu::reposition (  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::set_accel_group ( const Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup>&  accel_group  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::set_accel_path ( const Glib::ustring 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::MenuItem::set_accel_path() on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling 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, "& lt;Gnumeric-Sheet& gt;/File"); has been called, assign its items the accel paths: "& lt;Gnumeric-Sheet& gt;/File/New" and "& lt;Gnumeric-Sheet& gt;/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().

Parameters:
accel_path A valid accelerator path.

void Gtk::Menu::set_active ( guint  index  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::set_monitor ( int  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 Gtk::MenuPositionFunc 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 Gtk::MenuPositionFunc, since, for very long menus, these coordinates may extend beyond the monitor boundaries or even the screen boundaries.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
monitor_num The number of the monitor on which the menu should be popped up.

void Gtk::Menu::set_screen ( const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Screen>&  screen  ) 
 

Sets the Gdk::Screen on which the menu will be displayed.

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Parameters:
screen A Gdk::Screen, or 0 if the screen should be determined by the widget the menu is attached to.

void Gtk::Menu::set_tearoff_state ( bool  torn_off = true  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::set_title ( const Glib::ustring title  ) 
 

Sets the title string for the menu.

The title is displayed when the menu is shown as a tearoff menu.

Parameters:
title A string containing the title for the menu.

void Gtk::Menu::unset_accel_group (  ) 
 

void Gtk::Menu::unset_title (  )
