xfce_menu_get_root ()

XfceMenu *          xfce_menu_get_root                  (GError **error);

Loads the system's root menu. This may take some time as it involves parsing and merging a lot of files. So if you call this function from a GUI program it should be done in a way that won't block the user interface (e.g. by using a worker thread). The returned pointer needs to be released using

g_object_unref (menu);

when no longer needed.

xfce_menu_new ()

XfceMenu *          xfce_menu_new                       (const gchar *filename,
                                                         GError **error);

Parses a file and returns the menu structure found in this file. This may involve parsing and merging of a lot of other files. So if you call this function from a GUI program it should be done in a way that won't block the user interface (e.g. by using a worker thread). The returned pointer needs to be released using

g_object_unref (menu);

when it is not used anymore.

xfce_menu_get_filename ()

const gchar *       xfce_menu_get_filename              (XfceMenu *menu);

Returns the filename from which menu was loaded.

xfce_menu_set_filename ()

void                xfce_menu_set_filename              (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         const gchar *filename);

Sets the menu filename. It should not be necessary to call this function anywhere - it's only of internal use.

xfce_menu_get_name ()

const gchar *       xfce_menu_get_name                  (XfceMenu *menu);

Returns the name of menu. In most cases this will be the contents of the <Menu> element. It may be useful for providing a display name for the menu if it does not have a menu directory.

xfce_menu_set_name ()

void                xfce_menu_set_name                  (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         const gchar *name);

Sets the name of menu. This might come in handy if you want to replace certain menu names with your own names. However, in most cases this function won't be useful.

xfce_menu_get_directory ()

XfceMenuDirectory * xfce_menu_get_directory             (XfceMenu *menu);

Returns the XfceMenuDirectory of menu or NULL. The menu directory may contain a lot of useful information about the menu, like display name, desktop environments it should show up in etc.

xfce_menu_set_directory ()

void                xfce_menu_set_directory             (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         XfceMenuDirectory *directory);

Replaces the XfceMenuDirectory of menu with directory. This may be useful if menu has no directory or if you want to define your own directory for menus. Usually, there's no need to call this function.

xfce_menu_get_directory_dirs ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_directory_dirs        (XfceMenu *menu);

Returns a list with all directory dirs of menu. Collects directory dirs from menu up to the root menu so that the root menu directory dirs come first.

xfce_menu_get_legacy_dirs ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_legacy_dirs           (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_get_app_dirs ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_app_dirs              (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_get_only_unallocated ()

gboolean            xfce_menu_get_only_unallocated      (XfceMenu *menu);

Returns whether menu only contains XfceMenuItems which are not already included in other menus.

xfce_menu_set_only_unallocated ()

void                xfce_menu_set_only_unallocated      (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         gboolean only_unallocated);

Since all items are resolved directly after parsing the menu file, this won't be useful other than internally.

xfce_menu_get_deleted ()

gboolean            xfce_menu_get_deleted               (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_set_deleted ()

void                xfce_menu_set_deleted               (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         gboolean deleted);

xfce_menu_get_menus ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_menus                 (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_add_menu ()

void                xfce_menu_add_menu                  (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         XfceMenu *submenu);

xfce_menu_get_menu_with_name ()

XfceMenu *          xfce_menu_get_menu_with_name        (XfceMenu *menu,
                                                         const gchar *name);

xfce_menu_get_parent ()

XfceMenu *          xfce_menu_get_parent                (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_get_item_pool ()

XfceMenuItemPool *  xfce_menu_get_item_pool             (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_get_items ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_items                 (XfceMenu *menu);

Convenience wrapper around xfce_menu_get_item_pool(), which simply returns the XfceMenuItems contained within the associated item pool as singly linked list.

The caller is responsible to free the returned list using

g_slist_free (list);

when no longer needed.

xfce_menu_has_layout ()

gboolean            xfce_menu_has_layout                (XfceMenu *menu);

xfce_menu_get_layout_elements ()

GSList *            xfce_menu_get_layout_elements       (XfceMenu *menu);
