Known Implementations
GtkActivatable is implemented by GtkButton, GtkCheckButton, GtkCheckMenuItem, GtkColorButton, GtkFontButton, GtkImageMenuItem, GtkLinkButton, GtkMenuItem, GtkMenuToolButton, GtkOptionMenu, GtkRadioButton, GtkRadioMenuItem, GtkRadioToolButton, GtkRecentChooserMenu, GtkScaleButton, GtkSeparatorMenuItem, GtkSeparatorToolItem, GtkTearoffMenuItem, GtkToggleButton, GtkToggleToolButton, GtkToolButton, GtkToolItem and GtkVolumeButton.
Description
Activatable widgets can be connected to a GtkAction and reflects the state of its action. A GtkActivatable can also provide feedback through its action, as they are responsible for activating their related actions.
Implementing GtkActivatable
When extending a class that is already GtkActivatable; it is only
necessary to implement the GtkActivatable->sync_action_properties()
and GtkActivatable->update() methods and chain up to the parent
implementation, however when introducing
a new GtkActivatable class; the “related-action” and
“use-action-appearance” properties need to be handled by
the implementor. Handling these properties is mostly a matter of installing
the action pointer and boolean flag on your instance, and calling
gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() and
gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() at the appropriate times.

Functions
gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action ()
void gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action (GtkActivatable *activatable,GtkAction *action);
This is a utility function for GtkActivatable implementors.
When implementing GtkActivatable you must call this when
handling changes of the “related-action”, and
you must also use this to break references in GObject->dispose().
This function adds a reference to the currently set related
action for you, it also makes sure the GtkActivatable->update()
method is called when the related GtkAction properties change
and registers to the action's proxy list.
Be careful to call this before setting the local
copy of the GtkAction property, since this function uses
gtk_activatable_get_action() to retrieve the previous action
Since: 2.16
gtk_activatable_get_related_action ()
GtkAction *
gtk_activatable_get_related_action (GtkActivatable *activatable);
Gets the related GtkAction for activatable
.
Since: 2.16
gtk_activatable_get_use_action_appearance ()
gboolean
gtk_activatable_get_use_action_appearance
(GtkActivatable *activatable);
Gets whether this activatable should reset its layout and appearance when setting the related action or when the action changes appearance.
Since: 2.16
gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties ()
void gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties (GtkActivatable *activatable,GtkAction *action);
This is called to update the activatable completely, this is called internally when the “related-action” property is set or unset and by the implementing class when “use-action-appearance” changes.
Since: 2.16
gtk_activatable_set_related_action ()
void gtk_activatable_set_related_action (GtkActivatable *activatable,GtkAction *action);
Sets the related action on the activatable
object.
GtkActivatable implementors need to handle the “related-action”
property and call gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() when it changes.
Since: 2.16
gtk_activatable_set_use_action_appearance ()
void gtk_activatable_set_use_action_appearance (GtkActivatable *activatable,gboolean use_appearance);
Sets whether this activatable should reset its layout and appearance when setting the related action or when the action changes appearance
GtkActivatable implementors need to handle the
“use-action-appearance” property and call
gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() to update activatable
if needed.
Since: 2.16

Called to update the activatable when its related action's properties change. You must check the “use-action-appearance” property only apply action properties that are meant to effect the appearance accordingly. |

Property Details
The “related-action” property
“related-action” GtkAction *
The action that this activatable will activate and receive updates from for various states and possibly appearance.
GtkActivatable implementors need to handle the this property and
call gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() when it changes.
Owner: GtkActivatable
Flags: Read / Write
Since: 2.16
The “use-action-appearance” property
“use-action-appearance” gboolean
Whether this activatable should reset its layout and appearance when setting the related action or when the action changes appearance.
See the GtkAction documentation directly to find which properties
should be ignored by the GtkActivatable when this property is FALSE.
GtkActivatable implementors need to handle this property
and call gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() on the activatable
widget when it changes.
