29 * SECTION:gpropertyaction
30 * @title: GPropertyAction
31 * @short_description: A GAction reflecting a GObject property
32 * @include: gio/gio.h
34 * A #GPropertyAction is a way to get a #GAction with a state value
35 * reflecting and controlling the value of a #GObject property.
37 * The state of the action will correspond to the value of the property.
38 * Changing it will change the property (assuming the requested value
39 * matches the requirements as specified in the #GParamSpec).
41 * Only the most common types are presently supported. Booleans are
42 * mapped to booleans, strings to strings, signed/unsigned integers to
43 * int32/uint32 and floats and doubles to doubles.
45 * If the property is an enum then the state will be string-typed and
46 * conversion will automatically be performed between the enum value and
47 * "nick" string as per the #GEnumValue table.
49 * Flags types are not currently supported.
51 * Properties of object types, boxed types and pointer types are not
52 * supported and probably never will be.
54 * Properties of #GVariant types are not currently supported.
56 * If the property is boolean-valued then the action will have a NULL
57 * parameter type, and activating the action (with no parameter) will
58 * toggle the value of the property.
60 * In all other cases, the parameter type will correspond to the type of
61 * the property.
63 * The general idea here is to reduce the number of locations where a
64 * particular piece of state is kept (and therefore has to be synchronised
65 * between). #GPropertyAction does not have a separate state that is kept
66 * in sync with the property value -- its state is the property value.
68 * For example, it might be useful to create a #GAction corresponding to
69 * the "visible-child-name" property of a #GtkStack so that the current
70 * page can be switched from a menu. The active radio indication in the
71 * menu is then directly determined from the active page of the
72 * #GtkStack.
74 * An anti-example would be binding the "active-id" property on a
75 * #GtkComboBox. This is because the state of the combobox itself is
76 * probably uninteresting and is actually being used to control
77 * something else.
79 * Another anti-example would be to bind to the "visible-child-name"
80 * property of a #GtkStack if this value is actually stored in
81 * #GSettings. In that case, the real source of the value is
82 * #GSettings. If you want a #GAction to control a setting stored in
83 * #GSettings, see g_settings_create_action() instead, and possibly
84 * combine its use with g_settings_bind().
86 * Since: 2.38
