AnjutaUI and GtkActionGroup

[James Liggett]

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can get an instance of GtkActionGroup from
AnjutaUI? What I need to do here is find an easy way of disabling all of
the git menu's items in one function call. As it is now I just disable
the whole menu, but as you may know that's not HIG compliant. I've been
doing some looking around and this seems like the best way to get that
done. But, I can't seem to be able to get a GtkActionGroup object for my
object from AnjutaUI. Is there an easy way to do this in Anjuta?

Thanks,
James

Hi!

Probably, gtk_ui_manager_get_action_groups() and then filter the list
using gtk_action_group_get_name(). Not very elegant though.

Regards,
Johannes

I just figured out a working solution. It turns out that
anjuta_ui_add_action_group_entries returns the GtkActionGroup that it
creates. So I just keep that in the plugin structure for later
reference. Then, I split the Git menu into two action groups: one for
just the toplevel menu item itself, and another for the menu items. So
now I can disable all of the menu items in one shot without disabling
the whole menu.

Thanks,
James

Hi!

Just a note, could you please merge the micro commits to a bigger one in
the future because that kinds of clutters history.

Thanks,
Johannes

I certainly could, but I did this to make sure we could revert
individual changes in case some dialogs were broken and some weren't.
Honestly I'm not quite sure if all of the dialogs work as the HIG would
expect. Some might, but I'm not quite sure about others. I would rather
risk cluttering the history rather than have to redo the whole thing in
case I did something wrong.

And, as a general rule of thumb, I usually would rather overdo it than
not commit often enough. That way, if we find I might have screwed up in
a few places, we can deal with those on a case by case basis as opposed
to reverting the whole thing.
