Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem -- menu item showing a row of dashes
use Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem; my $item = Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem->new; $menu->append ($item);
Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem
is a subclass of Gtk2::MenuItem
.
Gtk2::Widget Gtk2::Container Gtk2::Bin Gtk2::Item Gtk2::MenuItem Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem
A Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem
displays a line of dashes similar in appearance to a Gtk2::TearoffMenuItem
, but as a plain menu item, not driving the tearoff state.
+--------------------------------+ | | | ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== | | | +--------------------------------+
Clicking on the item runs the MenuItem activate
handler etc in the usual way. Connect to that signal to run an action for the item. The idea is you can open a dialog box or toplevel toolbox representing the menu contents, with more things or more features than just a torn-off menu would provide.
$item = Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem->new (key=>value,...)
Create and return a new Dashes::MenuItem
widget. Optional key/value pairs can be given to set initial properties, as per Glib::Object->new
.
For example setting the visible
property saves the usual $item->show
needed before adding to a menu.
my $item = Gtk2::Ex::Dashes::MenuItem->new (visible => 1);
There are properties beyond what Gtk2::MenuItem
offers.
The widget text direction (ie. set_direction
) on the Dashes::MenuItem
controls which end the dashes start from. The effect of this is that a whole dash begins from the same end as the text (left to right or right to left).
