Public Methods

GtkCheckMenuItem* gobj ()
const GtkCheckMenuItem* gobj () const
 CheckMenuItem ()
 CheckMenuItem (const Glib::ustring& label, bool mnemonic=false)
void set_active (bool state=true)
bool get_active () const
 Returns whether the check menu item is active.

void toggled ()
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.

bool get_inconsistent () const
 Retrieves the value set by set_inconsistent().

Glib::SignalProxy0<void> signal_toggled ()
Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> property_active ()
 Triggered when the item is redrawn (e.g.after being toggled) Overload this signal if you want to implement your own check item look.

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.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Gtk::CheckMenuItem::draw_indicator_vfunc ( GdkRectangle*    area [protected, virtual]
 

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_inconsistent (   const
 

Retrieves the value set by set_inconsistent().

Returns:
true if inconsistent.

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

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuItem.

Reimplemented in Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

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

Reimplemented from Gtk::MenuItem.

Reimplemented in Gtk::RadioMenuItem.

virtual void Gtk::CheckMenuItem::on_toggled (   [protected, virtual]
 

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::CheckMenuItem::property_active (  
 

Triggered when the item is redrawn (e.g.after being toggled) Overload this signal if you want to implement your own check item look.

Otherwise, you most likely don't care about it. The GdkRectangle specifies the area of the widget which will get redrawn.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::CheckMenuItem::property_inconsistent (  
 

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

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.
