Interfaces

GtkMenuItem implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkActivatable.

Detailed Description

GtkMenuItem as GtkBuildable

The GtkMenuItem implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding a submenu by specifying "submenu" as the "type" attribute of a element. A UI definition fragment with submenus

Convenient Construction

gtkMenuItem is the result of collapsing the constructors of GtkMenuItem (gtkMenuItemNew, gtkMenuItemNewWithLabel, gtkMenuItemNewWithMnemonic) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.
