Description

A GtkMenuToolButton is a GtkToolItem that contains a button and a small additional button with an arrow. When clicked, the arrow button pops up a dropdown menu.

Use gtk_menu_tool_button_new() to create a new GtkMenuToolButton. Use gtk_menu_tool_button_new_from_stock() to create a new GtkMenuToolButton containing a stock item.

GtkMenuToolButton as GtkBuildable

The GtkMenuToolButton implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding a menu by specifying "menu" as the "type" attribute of a <child> element.

Signal Details

The "show-menu" signal

void                user_function                      (GtkMenuToolButton *button,
                                                        gpointer           user_data)      : Run First

The ::show-menu signal is emitted before the menu is shown.

It can be used to populate the menu on demand, using gtk_menu_tool_button_set_menu().

Note that even if you populate the menu dynamically in this way, you must set an empty menu on the GtkMenuToolButton beforehand, since the arrow is made insensitive if the menu is not set.

button :

 the object on which the signal is emitted

user_data :

 user data set when the signal handler was connected.
