27 * @title: GActionGroup
28 * @short_description: A group of actions
29 * @include: gio/gio.h
30 * @see_also: #GAction
32 * #GActionGroup represents a group of actions. Actions can be used to
33 * expose functionality in a structured way, either from one part of a
34 * program to another, or to the outside world. Action groups are often
35 * used together with a #GMenuModel that provides additional
36 * representation data for displaying the actions to the user, e.g. in
37 * a menu.
39 * The main way to interact with the actions in a GActionGroup is to
40 * activate them with g_action_group_activate_action(). Activating an
41 * action may require a #GVariant parameter. The required type of the
42 * parameter can be inquired with g_action_group_get_action_parameter_type().
43 * Actions may be disabled, see g_action_group_get_action_enabled().
44 * Activating a disabled action has no effect.
46 * Actions may optionally have a state in the form of a #GVariant. The
47 * current state of an action can be inquired with
48 * g_action_group_get_action_state(). Activating a stateful action may
49 * change its state, but it is also possible to set the state by calling
50 * g_action_group_change_action_state().
52 * As typical example, consider a text editing application which has an
53 * option to change the current font to 'bold'. A good way to represent
54 * this would be a stateful action, with a boolean state. Activating the
55 * action would toggle the state.
57 * Each action in the group has a unique name (which is a string). All
58 * method calls, except g_action_group_list_actions() take the name of
59 * an action as an argument.
61 * The #GActionGroup API is meant to be the 'public' API to the action
62 * group. The calls here are exactly the interaction that 'external
63 * forces' (eg: UI, incoming D-Bus messages, etc.) are supposed to have
64 * with actions. 'Internal' APIs (ie: ones meant only to be accessed by
65 * the action group implementation) are found on subclasses. This is
66 * why you will find - for example - g_action_group_get_action_enabled()
67 * but not an equivalent set() call.
69 * Signals are emitted on the action group in response to state changes
70 * on individual actions.
72 * Implementations of #GActionGroup should provide implementations for
73 * the virtual functions g_action_group_list_actions() and
74 * g_action_group_query_action(). The other virtual functions should
75 * not be implemented - their "wrappers" are actually implemented with
76 * calls to g_action_group_query_action().

711 * @state: (out) (optional): the current state, or %NULL if stateless
713 * Queries all aspects of the named action within an @action_group.
715 * This function acquires the information available from
716 * g_action_group_has_action(), g_action_group_get_action_enabled(),
717 * g_action_group_get_action_parameter_type(),
718 * g_action_group_get_action_state_type(),
719 * g_action_group_get_action_state_hint() and
720 * g_action_group_get_action_state() with a single function call.
722 * This provides two main benefits.
724 * The first is the improvement in efficiency that comes with not having
725 * to perform repeated lookups of the action in order to discover
726 * different things about it. The second is that implementing
727 * #GActionGroup can now be done by only overriding this one virtual
728 * function.
730 * The interface provides a default implementation of this function that
731 * calls the individual functions, as required, to fetch the
732 * information. The interface also provides default implementations of
733 * those functions that call this function. All implementations,
734 * therefore, must override either this function or all of the others.
736 * If the action exists, %TRUE is returned and any of the requested
737 * fields (as indicated by having a non-%NULL reference passed in) are
738 * filled. If the action doesn't exist, %FALSE is returned and the
739 * fields may or may not have been modified.
741 * Returns: %TRUE if the action exists, else %FALSE
