void Gtk::MenuItem::select | ( |  | ) |

Emits the Gtk::MenuItem::signal_select() signal on the given item.

Behaves exactly like #gtk_item_select.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_key | ( | const AccelKey& | accel_key | ) |

protected

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_path | ( | const Glib::ustring & | accel_path | ) |

Set the accelerator path on menu_item, through which runtime changes of the menu item's accelerator caused by the user can be identified and saved to persistant storage (see Gtk::AccelMap::save() on this).

To setup a default accelerator for this menu item, call Gtk::AccelMap::add_entry() with the same accel_path. See also Gtk::AccelMap::add_entry() on the specifics of accelerator paths, and set_accel_path() for a more convenient variant of this function.

This function is basically a convenience wrapper that handles calling Gtk::Widget::set_accel_path() with the appropriate accelerator group for the menu item.

Note that you do need to set an accelerator on the parent menu with set_accel_group() for this to work.

Parameters

  accel_path | Accelerator path, corresponding to this menu item's functionality.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_label | ( | const Glib::ustring & | label | ) |

Sets text on the menu_item label.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters

  label | The text you want to set.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_reserve_indicator | ( | bool | reserve = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the menu_item should reserve space for the submenu indicator, regardless if it actually has a submenu or not.

There should be little need for applications to call this functions.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters

  reserve | The new value.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_right_justified | ( | bool | right_justified = `true` | ) |

Sets whether the menu item appears justified at the right side of a menu bar.

This was traditionally done for "Help" menu items, but is now considered a bad idea. (If the widget layout is reversed for a right-to-left language like Hebrew or Arabic, right-justified-menu-items appear at the left.)

Deprecated: 3.2: If you insist on using it, use Gtk::Widget::set_hexpand() and Gtk::Widget::set_halign().

Deprecated:
  If you insist on using it

Parameters

  right_justified | If `true` the menu item will appear at the far right if added to a menu bar.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_submenu | ( | Menu& | submenu | ) |

Sets or replaces the menu item's submenu, or removes it when a `0` submenu is passed.

Parameters

  submenu | The submenu, or `0`.

void Gtk::MenuItem::set_use_underline | ( | bool | setting = `true` | ) |

If true, an underline in the text indicates the next character should be used for the mnemonic accelerator key.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters

  setting | `true` if underlines in the text indicate mnemonics.
