Class Details¶

class Gtk.Menu(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: Gtk.MenuShell
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Gtk.MenuClass

A Gtk.Menu is a Gtk.MenuShell that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of Gtk.MenuItem objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.

A Gtk.Menu is most commonly dropped down by activating a Gtk.MenuItem in a Gtk.MenuBar or popped up by activating a Gtk.MenuItem in another Gtk.Menu.

A Gtk.Menu can also be popped up by activating a Gtk.ComboBox. Other composite widgets such as the Gtk.Notebook can pop up a Gtk.Menu as well.

Applications can display a Gtk.Menu as a popup menu by calling the Gtk.Menu.popup() function. The example below shows how an application can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.

Connecting the popup signal handler.

// connect our handler which will popup the menu
  g_signal_connect_swapped (window, "button_press_event",
G_CALLBACK (my_popup_handler), menu);

Signal handler which displays a popup menu.

static gint
my_popup_handler (GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event)
{
  GtkMenu *menu;
  GdkEventButton *event_button;

  g_return_val_if_fail (widget != NULL, FALSE);
  g_return_val_if_fail (GTK_IS_MENU (widget), FALSE);
  g_return_val_if_fail (event != NULL, FALSE);

  // The "widget" is the menu that was supplied when
  // g_signal_connect_swapped() was called.
  menu = GTK_MENU (widget);

  if (event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS)
    {
      event_button = (GdkEventButton *) event;
      if (event_button->button == GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY)
        {
          gtk_menu_popup (menu, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
                          event_button->button, event_button->time);
          return TRUE;
        }
    }

  return FALSE;
}

CSS nodes

menu
├── arrow.top
├── <child>
┊
├── <child>
╰── arrow.bottom

The main CSS node of Gtk.Menu has name menu, and there are two subnodes with name arrow, for scrolling menu arrows. These subnodes get the .top and .bottom style classes.

classmethod get_for_attach_widget(widget)[source]¶

Parameters:: widget (Gtk.Widget) – a Gtk.Widget
Returns:: the list of menus attached to his widget.
Return type:: [Gtk.Widget]

Returns a list of the menus which are attached to this widget. This list is owned by GTK+ and must not be modified.

New in version 2.6.

classmethod new()[source]¶

Returns:: a new Gtk.Menu
Return type:: Gtk.Widget

Creates a new Gtk.Menu

classmethod new_from_model(model)[source]¶

Parameters:: model (Gio.MenuModel) – a Gio.MenuModel
Returns:: a new Gtk.Menu
Return type:: Gtk.Widget

Creates a Gtk.Menu and populates it with menu items and submenus according to model.

The created menu items are connected to actions found in the Gtk.ApplicationWindow to which the menu belongs - typically by means of being attached to a widget (see Gtk.Menu.attach_to_widget()) that is contained within the Gtk.ApplicationWindows widget hierarchy.

Actions can also be added using Gtk.Widget.insert_action_group() on the menu’s attach widget or on any of its parent widgets.

New in version 3.4.

attach(child, left_attach, right_attach, top_attach, bottom_attach)[source]¶

Parameters:

child (Gtk.Widget) – a Gtk.MenuItem
left_attach (int) – The column number to attach the left side of the item to
right_attach (int) – The column number to attach the right side of the item to
top_attach (int) – The row number to attach the top of the item to
bottom_attach (int) – The row number to attach the bottom of the item to

Adds a new Gtk.MenuItem to a (table) menu. The number of “cells” that an item will occupy is specified by left_attach, right_attach, top_attach and bottom_attach. These each represent the leftmost, rightmost, uppermost and lower column and row numbers of the table. (Columns and rows are indexed from zero).

Note that this function is not related to Gtk.Menu.detach().

New in version 2.4.

attach_to_widget(attach_widget, detacher)[source]¶

Parameters:

attach_widget (Gtk.Widget) – the Gtk.Widget that the menu will be attached to
detacher (Gtk.MenuDetachFunc or None) – the user supplied callback function that will be called when the menu calls Gtk.Menu.detach()

Attaches the menu to the widget and provides a callback function that will be invoked when the menu calls Gtk.Menu.detach() during its destruction.

If the menu is attached to the widget then it will be destroyed when the widget is destroyed, as if it was a child widget. An attached menu will also move between screens correctly if the widgets moves between screens.

detach()[source]¶: Detaches the menu from the widget to which it had been attached. This function will call the callback function, detacher, provided when the Gtk.Menu.attach_to_widget() function was called.

get_accel_group()[source]¶

Returns:: the Gtk.AccelGroup associated with the menu
Return type:: Gtk.AccelGroup

Gets the Gtk.AccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. See Gtk.Menu.set_accel_group().

get_accel_path()[source]¶

Returns:: the accelerator path set on the menu.
Return type:: str

Retrieves the accelerator path set on the menu.

New in version 2.14.

get_active()[source]¶

Returns:: the Gtk.MenuItem that was last selected in the menu. If a selection has not yet been made, the first menu item is selected.
Return type:: Gtk.Widget

Returns the selected menu item from the menu. This is used by the Gtk.ComboBox.

get_attach_widget()[source]¶

Returns:: the Gtk.Widget that the menu is attached to
Return type:: Gtk.Widget

Returns the Gtk.Widget that the menu is attached to.

get_monitor()[source]¶

Returns:: the number of the monitor on which the menu should be popped up or -1, if no monitor has been set
Return type:: int

Retrieves the number of the monitor on which to show the menu.

New in version 2.14.

get_reserve_toggle_size()[source]¶

Returns:: Whether the menu reserves toggle space
Return type:: bool

Returns whether the menu reserves space for toggles and icons, regardless of their actual presence.

New in version 2.18.

get_tearoff_state()[source]¶

Returns:: True if the menu is currently torn off.
Return type:: bool

Returns whether the menu is torn off. See Gtk.Menu.set_tearoff_state().

Deprecated since version 3.10.

get_title()[source]¶

Returns:: the title of the menu, or None if the menu has no title set on it. This string is owned by GTK+ and should not be modified or freed.
Return type:: str

Returns the title of the menu. See Gtk.Menu.set_title().

Deprecated since version 3.10.

place_on_monitor(monitor)[source]¶

Parameters:: monitor (Gdk.Monitor) – the monitor to place the menu on

Places self on the given monitor.

New in version 3.22.

popdown()[source]¶: Removes the menu from the screen.

popup(parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func, data, button, activate_time)[source]¶

Parameters:

parent_menu_shell (Gtk.Widget or None) – the menu shell containing the triggering menu item, or None
parent_menu_item (Gtk.Widget or None) – the menu item whose activation triggered the popup, or None
func (Gtk.MenuPositionFunc or None) – a user supplied function used to position the menu, or None
data (object or None) – user supplied data to be passed to func.
button (int) – the mouse button which was pressed to initiate the event.
activate_time (int) – the time at which the activation event occurred.

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply None for the parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func and data parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu at the current mouse cursor position.

The button parameter should be the mouse button pressed to initiate the menu popup. If the menu popup was initiated by something other than a mouse button press, such as a mouse button release or a keypress, button should be 0.

The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function properly, this needs to be the timestamp of the user event (such as a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup. Only if no such event is available, Gtk.get_current_event_time() can be used instead.

Note that this function does not work very well on GDK backends that do not have global coordinates, such as Wayland or Mir. You should probably use one of the gtk_menu_popup_at_ variants, which do not have this problem.

Deprecated since version 3.22: Please use Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget(), Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer(). or Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect() instead

popup_at_pointer(trigger_event)[source]¶

Parameters:: trigger_event (Gdk.Event or None) – the Gdk.Event that initiated this request or None if it’s the current event

Displays self and makes it available for selection.

See Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget () to pop up a menu at a widget. Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect () also allows you to position a menu at an arbitrary rectangle.

self will be positioned at the pointer associated with trigger_event.

Properties that influence the behaviour of this function are Gtk.Menu :anchor-hints, Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dx, Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dy, and Gtk.Menu :menu-type-hint. Connect to the Gtk.Menu ::popped-up signal to find out how it was actually positioned.

New in version 3.22.

popup_at_rect(rect_window, rect, rect_anchor, menu_anchor, trigger_event)[source]¶

Parameters:

rect_window (Gdk.Window) – the Gdk.Window rect is relative to
rect (Gdk.Rectangle) – the Gdk.Rectangle to align self with
rect_anchor (Gdk.Gravity) – the point on rect to align with self's anchor point
menu_anchor (Gdk.Gravity) – the point on self to align with rect's anchor point
trigger_event (Gdk.Event or None) – the Gdk.Event that initiated this request or None if it’s the current event

Displays self and makes it available for selection.

See Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget () and Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer (), which handle more common cases for popping up menus.

self will be positioned at rect, aligning their anchor points. rect is relative to the top-left corner of rect_window. rect_anchor and menu_anchor determine anchor points on rect and self to pin together. self can optionally be offset by Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dx and Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dy.

Anchors should be specified under the assumption that the text direction is left-to-right; they will be flipped horizontally automatically if the text direction is right-to-left.

Other properties that influence the behaviour of this function are Gtk.Menu :anchor-hints and Gtk.Menu :menu-type-hint. Connect to the Gtk.Menu ::popped-up signal to find out how it was actually positioned.

New in version 3.22.

popup_at_widget(widget, widget_anchor, menu_anchor, trigger_event)[source]¶

Parameters:

widget (Gtk.Widget) – the Gtk.Widget to align self with
widget_anchor (Gdk.Gravity) – the point on widget to align with self's anchor point
menu_anchor (Gdk.Gravity) – the point on self to align with widget's anchor point
trigger_event (Gdk.Event or None) – the Gdk.Event that initiated this request or None if it’s the current event

Displays self and makes it available for selection.

See Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer () to pop up a menu at the master pointer. Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect () also allows you to position a menu at an arbitrary rectangle.

self will be positioned at widget, aligning their anchor points. widget_anchor and menu_anchor determine anchor points on widget and self to pin together. self can optionally be offset by Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dx and Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dy.

Anchors should be specified under the assumption that the text direction is left-to-right; they will be flipped horizontally automatically if the text direction is right-to-left.

Other properties that influence the behaviour of this function are Gtk.Menu :anchor-hints and Gtk.Menu :menu-type-hint. Connect to the Gtk.Menu ::popped-up signal to find out how it was actually positioned.

New in version 3.22.

popup_for_device(device, parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func, data, button, activate_time)[source]¶

Parameters:

device (Gdk.Device or None) – a Gdk.Device
parent_menu_shell (Gtk.Widget or None) – the menu shell containing the triggering menu item, or None
parent_menu_item (Gtk.Widget or None) – the menu item whose activation triggered the popup, or None
func (Gtk.MenuPositionFunc or None) – a user supplied function used to position the menu, or None
data (object or None) – user supplied data to be passed to func
button (int) – the mouse button which was pressed to initiate the event
activate_time (int) – the time at which the activation event occurred

Displays a menu and makes it available for selection.

Applications can use this function to display context-sensitive menus, and will typically supply None for the parent_menu_shell, parent_menu_item, func, data and destroy parameters. The default menu positioning function will position the menu at the current position of device (or its corresponding pointer).

The button parameter should be the mouse button pressed to initiate the menu popup. If the menu popup was initiated by something other than a mouse button press, such as a mouse button release or a keypress, button should be 0.

The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function properly, this needs to be the time stamp of the user event (such as a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup. Only if no such event is available, Gtk.get_current_event_time() can be used instead.

Note that this function does not work very well on GDK backends that do not have global coordinates, such as Wayland or Mir. You should probably use one of the gtk_menu_popup_at_ variants, which do not have this problem.

New in version 3.0.

Deprecated since version 3.22: Please use Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget(), Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer(). or Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect() instead

reorder_child(child, position)[source]¶

Parameters:

child (Gtk.Widget) – the Gtk.MenuItem to move
position (int) – the new position to place child. Positions are numbered from 0 to n - 1

Moves child to a new position in the list of self children.

reposition()[source]¶: Repositions the menu according to its position function.

set_accel_group(accel_group)[source]¶

Parameters:: accel_group (Gtk.AccelGroup or None) – the Gtk.AccelGroup to be associated with the menu.

Set the Gtk.AccelGroup which holds global accelerators for the menu. This accelerator group needs to also be added to all windows that this menu is being used in with Gtk.Window.add_accel_group(), in order for those windows to support all the accelerators contained in this group.

set_accel_path(accel_path)[source]¶

Parameters:: accel_path (str or None) – a valid accelerator path, or None to unset the path

Sets an accelerator path for this menu from which accelerator paths for its immediate children, its menu items, can be constructed. The main purpose of this function is to spare the programmer the inconvenience of having to call Gtk.MenuItem.set_accel_path() on each menu item that should support runtime user changable accelerators. Instead, by just calling Gtk.Menu.set_accel_path() on their parent, each menu item of this menu, that contains a label describing its purpose, automatically gets an accel path assigned.

For example, a menu containing menu items “New” and “Exit”, will, after gtk_menu_set_accel_path (menu, "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File"); has been called, assign its items the accel paths: "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/New" and "<Gnumeric-Sheet>/File/Exit".

Assigning accel paths to menu items then enables the user to change their accelerators at runtime. More details about accelerator paths and their default setups can be found at Gtk.AccelMap.add_entry().

Note that accel_path string will be stored in a #GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with GLib.intern_static_string().

set_active(index)[source]¶

Parameters:: index (int) – the index of the menu item to select. Index values are from 0 to n-1

Selects the specified menu item within the menu. This is used by the Gtk.ComboBox and should not be used by anyone else.

set_monitor(monitor_num)[source]¶

Parameters:: monitor_num (int) – the number of the monitor on which the menu should be popped up

Informs GTK+ on which monitor a menu should be popped up. See Gdk.Monitor.get_geometry().

This function should be called from a Gtk.MenuPositionFunc if the menu should not appear on the same monitor as the pointer. This information can’t be reliably inferred from the coordinates returned by a Gtk.MenuPositionFunc, since, for very long menus, these coordinates may extend beyond the monitor boundaries or even the screen boundaries.

New in version 2.4.

set_reserve_toggle_size(reserve_toggle_size)[source]¶

Parameters:: reserve_toggle_size (bool) – whether to reserve size for toggles

Sets whether the menu should reserve space for drawing toggles or icons, regardless of their actual presence.

New in version 2.18.

set_screen(screen)[source]¶

Parameters:: screen (Gdk.Screen or None) – a Gdk.Screen, or None if the screen should be determined by the widget the menu is attached to

Sets the Gdk.Screen on which the menu will be displayed.

New in version 2.2.

set_tearoff_state(torn_off)[source]¶

Parameters:: torn_off (bool) – If True, menu is displayed as a tearoff menu.

Changes the tearoff state of the menu. A menu is normally displayed as drop down menu which persists as long as the menu is active. It can also be displayed as a tearoff menu which persists until it is closed or reattached.

Deprecated since version 3.10.

set_title(title)[source]¶

Parameters:: title (str or None) – a string containing the title for the menu, or None to inherit the title of the parent menu item, if any

Sets the title string for the menu.

The title is displayed when the menu is shown as a tearoff menu. If title is None, the menu will see if it is attached to a parent menu item, and if so it will try to use the same text as that menu item’s label.

Deprecated since version 3.10.

Signal Details¶

Gtk.Menu.signals.move_scroll(menu, scroll_type)¶

Signal Name:

move-scroll

Flags:

RUN_LAST, ACTION

Parameters:

menu (Gtk.Menu) – The object which received the signal
scroll_type (Gtk.ScrollType) – a Gtk.ScrollType

Gtk.Menu.signals.popped_up(menu, flipped_rect, final_rect, flipped_x, flipped_y)¶

Signal Name:

popped-up

Flags:

RUN_FIRST

Parameters:

menu (Gtk.Menu) – The object which received the signal
flipped_rect (object or None) – the position of menu after any possible flipping or None if the backend can’t obtain it
final_rect (object or None) – the final position of menu or None if the backend can’t obtain it
flipped_x (bool) – True if the anchors were flipped horizontally
flipped_y (bool) – True if the anchors were flipped vertically

Emitted when the position of menu is finalized after being popped up using Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect (), Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget (), or Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer ().

menu might be flipped over the anchor rectangle in order to keep it on-screen, in which case flipped_x and flipped_y will be set to True accordingly.

flipped_rect is the ideal position of menu after any possible flipping, but before any possible sliding. final_rect is flipped_rect, but possibly translated in the case that flipping is still ineffective in keeping menu on-screen.

The blue menu is menu's ideal position, the green menu is flipped_rect, and the red menu is final_rect.

See Gtk.Menu.popup_at_rect (), Gtk.Menu.popup_at_widget (), Gtk.Menu.popup_at_pointer (), Gtk.Menu :anchor-hints, Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dx, Gtk.Menu :rect-anchor-dy, and Gtk.Menu :menu-type-hint.
