Struct gio::Action

pub struct Action(_, _);

Action represents a single named action.

The main interface to an action is that it can be activated with Action::activate. This results in the 'activate' signal being emitted. An activation has a glib::Variant parameter (which may be None). The correct type for the parameter is determined by a static parameter type (which is given at construction time).

An action may optionally have a state, in which case the state may be set with Action::change_state. This call takes a glib::Variant. The correct type for the state is determined by a static state type (which is given at construction time).

The state may have a hint associated with it, specifying its valid range.

Action is merely the interface to the concept of an action, as described above. Various implementations of actions exist, including SimpleAction.

In all cases, the implementing class is responsible for storing the name of the action, the parameter type, the enabled state, the optional state type and the state and emitting the appropriate signals when these change. The implementor is responsible for filtering calls to Action::activate and Action::change_state for type safety and for the state being enabled.

Probably the only useful thing to do with a Action is to put it inside of a SimpleActionGroup.

Methods

impl Action

pub fn name_is_valid(action_name: &str) -> bool

Checks if action_name is valid.

action_name is valid if it consists only of alphanumeric characters, plus '-' and '.'. The empty string is not a valid action name.

It is an error to call this function with a non-utf8 action_name. action_name must not be None.

action_name

an potential action name

Returns

true if action_name is valid

pub fn parse_detailed_name(
    detailed_name: &str
) -> Result<(GString, Variant), Error>

Parses a detailed action name into its separate name and target components.

Detailed action names can have three formats.

The first format is used to represent an action name with no target value and consists of just an action name containing no whitespace nor the characters ':', '(' or ')'. For example: "app.action".

The second format is used to represent an action with a target value that is a non-empty string consisting only of alphanumerics, plus '-' and '.'. In that case, the action name and target value are separated by a double colon ("::"). For example: "app.action::target".

The third format is used to represent an action with any type of target value, including strings. The target value follows the action name, surrounded in parens. For example: "app.action(42)". The target value is parsed using glib::Variant::parse. If a tuple-typed value is desired, it must be specified in the same way, resulting in two sets of parens, for example: "app.action((1,2,3))". A string target can be specified this way as well: "app.action('target')". For strings, this third format must be used if * target value is empty or contains characters other than alphanumerics, '-' and '.'.

detailed_name

a detailed action name

action_name

the action name

target_value

the target value, or None for no target

Returns

true if successful, else false with error set

pub fn print_detailed_name(
    action_name: &str,
    target_value: Option<&Variant>
) -> Option<GString>

Formats a detailed action name from action_name and target_value.

It is an error to call this function with an invalid action name.

This function is the opposite of Action::parse_detailed_name. It will produce a string that can be parsed back to the action_name and target_value by that function.

See that function for the types of strings that will be printed by this function.

action_name

a valid action name

target_value

a glib::Variant target value, or None

Returns

a detailed format string
