g_action_map_lookup_action ()

GAction *
g_action_map_lookup_action (GActionMap *action_map,
                            const gchar *action_name);

Looks up the action with the name action_name in action_map .

If no such action exists, returns NULL.

g_action_map_add_action_entries ()

void
g_action_map_add_action_entries (GActionMap *action_map,
                                 const GActionEntry *entries,

                                 gpointer user_data);

A convenience function for creating multiple GSimpleAction instances and adding them to a GActionMap.

Each action is constructed as per one GActionEntry.

g_action_map_add_action ()

void
g_action_map_add_action (GActionMap *action_map,
                         GAction *action);

Adds an action to the action_map .

If the action map already contains an action with the same name as action then the old action is dropped from the action map.

The action map takes its own reference on action .

Since 2.32

g_action_map_remove_action ()

void
g_action_map_remove_action (GActionMap *action_map,
                            const gchar *action_name);

Removes the named action from the action map.

If no action of this name is in the map then nothing happens.

GActionMap

typedef struct _GActionMap GActionMap;

GActionMap is an opaque data structure and can only be accessed using the following functions.

struct GActionMapInterface

struct GActionMapInterface {
  GTypeInterface g_iface;

  GAction * (* lookup_action) (GActionMap  *action_map,
                               const gchar *action_name);
  void      (* add_action)    (GActionMap  *action_map,
                               GAction     *action);
  void      (* remove_action) (GActionMap  *action_map,
                               const gchar *action_name);
};

The virtual function table for GActionMap.

struct GActionEntry

struct GActionEntry {
  const gchar *name;

  void (* activate) (GSimpleAction *action,
                     GVariant      *parameter,
                     gpointer       user_data);

  const gchar *parameter_type;

  const gchar *state;

  void (* change_state) (GSimpleAction *action,
                         GVariant      *value,
                         gpointer       user_data);
};

This struct defines a single action. It is for use with g_action_map_add_action_entries().

The order of the items in the structure are intended to reflect frequency of use. It is permissible to use an incomplete initialiser in order to leave some of the later values as NULL. All values after name are optional. Additional optional fields may be added in the future.

See g_action_map_add_action_entries() for an example.
