Implemented Interfaces

GtkRadioMenuItem implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkActivatable and GtkActionable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

A radio menu item is a check menu item that belongs to a group. At each instant exactly one of the radio menu items from a group is selected.

The group list does not need to be freed, as each GtkRadioMenuItem will remove itself and its list item when it is destroyed.

The correct way to create a group of radio menu items is approximatively this:

This function should be used by language bindings to avoid the memory manangement of the opaque GSList of gtk_radio_menu_item_get_group() and gtk_radio_menu_item_set_group().

A common way to set up a group of GtkRadioMenuItem instances is:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
GtkRadioMenuItem *last_item = NULL;

while ( ...more items to add... )
  {
    GtkRadioMenuItem *radio_item;

    radio_item = gtk_radio_menu_item_new (...);

    gtk_radio_menu_item_join_group (radio_item, last_item);
    last_item = radio_item;
  }

Parameters

radio_menu_item

a GtkRadioMenuItem

 

group_source

a GtkRadioMenuItem whose group we are joining, or NULL to remove the radio_menu_item from its current group.
