Detailed Description

Provides a menu item.

SIGNALS

activate_signal Received whenever user selects an item

TIP

Menu item caption line is parsed and an acceleartor is installed if an underscore is found. By default installs Alt + underscored key

  VDKMenuItem *item = new VDKMenuItem(menu,"_Accelerated");
  // alt+a triggers activate_signal

If accelerated menu item does not have submenus using accelerated key makes activate_signal to be emitted, otherwise the submenu branch will be displayed

EXAMPLES: In ./testvdk/testvdk.cc

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

VDKMenuItem::VDKMenuItem	(	VDKMenu *	menu,
		const char *	prompt = `NULL`,
		char **	pixmap = `NULL`,
		guint	key = `GDK_VoidSymbol`,
		guint8	modkey = `GDK_MOD1_MASK`,
		bool	accel = `true`
	)

Constructor, makes a menu item to be assigned to a menu

Parameters:

menu	owner menu
prompt	menu caption
pixmap	pixmap data
key	accelerator key
modkey	accelerator key modifier
accel	wheter should contain an accelerator or not

A pixmap will be packed at start if <pixmap> isn't NULL. Leaving <key> to default value makes <label> to be parsed for accelerators. For instance label == "_Quit" makes the accelerator as alt+q. Setting <key> other then default overrides label parsing, setting <modkey> to other than default overrides <alt> modifier.

VDKMenuItem::VDKMenuItem	(	VDKMenubar *	bar,
		const char *	prompt = `NULL`,
		char **	pixmap = `NULL`,
		int	align = `l_justify`,
		guint	key = `GDK_VoidSymbol`,
		guint8	modkey = `GDK_MOD1_MASK`,
		bool	accel = `true`
	)

Constructor, makes a menu item to be assigned to a menu bar

Parameters:

bar	owner menu bar
prompt	menu caption
pixmap	pixmap data
align	label alignement
key	accelerator key
modkey	accelerator key modifier
accel	wheter should contain an accelerator or not
