22 * @Short_Description: An interface for activatable widgets
23 * @Title: GtkActivatable
25 * Activatable widgets can be connected to a #GtkAction and reflects
26 * the state of its action. A #GtkActivatable can also provide feedback
27 * through its action, as they are responsible for activating their
31 * <title>Implementing GtkActivatable</title>
33 * When extending a class that is already #GtkActivatable; it is only
34 * necessary to implement the #GtkActivatable->sync_action_properties()
35 * and #GtkActivatable->update() methods and chain up to the parent
36 * implementation, however when introducing
37 * a new #GtkActivatable class; the #GtkActivatable:related-action and
38 * #GtkActivatable:use-action-appearance properties need to be handled by
39 * the implementor. Handling these properties is mostly a matter of installing
40 * the action pointer and boolean flag on your instance, and calling
41 * gtk_activatable_do_set_related_action() and
42 * gtk_activatable_sync_action_properties() at the appropriate times.
