Abstract:: No
Structure:: GMenu.TreeClass

classmethod item_ref(item)¶

Parameters:: item (object or None) – a #GMenuTreeItem
Returns:: The same item, or None if item is not a valid #GMenuTreeItem
Return type:: object or None

classmethod item_unref(item)¶

Parameters:: item (object or None) –

classmethod new(menu_basename, flags)¶

Parameters:

menu_basename (str) – Basename of menu file
flags (GMenu.TreeFlags) – Flags controlling menu content

Returns:

A new GMenu.Tree instance

Return type:

GMenu.Tree

classmethod new_for_path(menu_path, flags)¶

Parameters:

menu_path (str) –
flags (GMenu.TreeFlags) –

Return type:

GMenu.Tree

get_canonical_menu_path()¶

Returns:: The absolute and canonicalized path to the loaded menu file
Return type:: str

This function is only available if the tree has been loaded via GMenu.Tree.load_sync() or a variant thereof.

get_directory_from_path(path)¶

Parameters:: path (str) –
Return type:: GMenu.TreeDirectory

get_entry_by_id(id)¶

Parameters:: id (str) – a desktop file ID
Returns:: A newly referenced GMenu.TreeEntry, or None if none
