ActivatableRef

public struct ActivatableRef : ActivatableProtocol

Activatable widgets can be connected to a GtkAction and reflects the state of its action. A GtkActivatable can also provide feedback through its action, as they are responsible for activating their related actions.

Implementing GtkActivatable

When extending a class that is already GtkActivatable; it is only necessary to implement the GtkActivatable->sync_action_properties() and GtkActivatable->update() methods and chain up to the parent implementation, however when introducing a new GtkActivatable class; the GtkActivatable:related-action and GtkActivatable:use-action-appearance properties need to be handled by the implementor. Handling these properties is mostly a matter of installing the action pointer and boolean flag on your instance, and calling gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() and gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() at the appropriate times.

The ActivatableRef type acts as a lightweight Swift reference to an underlying GtkActivatable instance. It exposes methods that can operate on this data type through ActivatableProtocol conformance. Use ActivatableRef only as an unowned reference to an existing GtkActivatable instance.

  • ptr
    Untyped pointer to the underlying `GtkActivatable` instance.
    

    For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer activatable_ptr property instead.
