Implemented Interfaces

AnjutaUI implements GtkBuildable.

Description

AnjutaUI subclasses GtkUIManager, so you should really read GtkUIManager documentation first to know about Actions, UI merging and UI XML file format. This documentation will cover only the relevent APIs.

AnjutaUI has its own methods for adding action groups, which is differnt from GtkUIManager methods. All AnjutaPlugin based classes should use these methods instead of GtkUIManager methods. The reason is, in addition to adding the actions and groups to the UI manager, it also resgisters them for UI customization and accellerators editing. It also keeps record of all actions.

An interesting side effect of this is that these actions could be conveniently accessed or activated with anjuta_ui_get_action() or anjuta_ui_activate_action_by_path(), without the need of original action group object. This makes it is possible for activating actions remotely from other plugins.

anjuta_ui_get_accel_editor() will return a widget containing the UI customization and accellerators editor. All actions and action groups are organized into a tree view, which should be added to a visible container (e.g. a GtkDialog based object) and displayed to users.

Note

Any actions additions/removals using GtkUIManager are not registred with AnjutaUI and hence their accellerators cannot be edited. Nor will they be listed in UI manager dialog. Hence, use AnjutaUI methods whenever possible.

GtkAction objects are created from the GtkActionEntry structures and added to the UI Manager. "activate" signal of GtkAction is connected for all the action objects using the callback in the entry structure and the user_data passed here.

This group of actions are registered with the name action_group_name in AnjutaUI. A GtkAction object from this action group can be later retrieved by anjuta_ui_get_action() using action_group_name and action name. action_group_label is used as the display name for the action group in UI manager dialog where action shortcuts are configured.
