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
