## Detailed Description

An action of which represents a list of recently used files.

A Gtk::RecentAction represents a list of recently used files, which can be shown by widgets such as Gtk::RecentChooserDialog or Gtk::RecentChooserMenu. To construct a submenu showing recently used files, use a Gtk::RecentAction as the action for a <menuitem>. To construct a menu toolbutton showing the recently used files in the popup menu, use a Gtk::RecentAction as the action for a <toolitem> element.

See also the methods in the RecentChooser base class.

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentAction> Gtk::RecentAction::create | ( | ) | `[static]`

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentAction> Gtk::RecentAction::create | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | label = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  | `[static]`

Creates an action.

Parameters:

  name | A unique name for the action.
  label | The label displayed in menu items and on buttons.
  tooltip | A tooltip for the action.

Returns:
  A new Action.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentAction> Gtk::RecentAction::create | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const Gtk::StockID& | stock_id,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | label = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip = `Glib::ustring()`
| ) |  | `[static]`

Creates an action with a stock ID.

The stock ID is used to set a default icon, text and accelerator for the action.

Parameters:

  name | A unique name for the action.
  stock_id | The stock icon to display in widgets representing the action.
  label | The label displayed in menu items and on buttons.
  tooltip | A tooltip for the action.

Returns:
  A new Action.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

|  | const Gtk::StockID& | stock_id,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | label,
|  | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< RecentManager >& | recent_manager
| ) |  | `[static]`

bool Gtk::RecentAction::get_show_numbers | ( | ) |

Returns the value set by Gtk::RecentChooserMenu::set_show_numbers().

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Returns:
  `true` if numbers should be shown.

const GtkRecentAction* Gtk::RecentAction::gobj | ( | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

GtkRecentAction* Gtk::RecentAction::gobj | ( | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

GtkRecentAction* Gtk::RecentAction::gobj_copy | ( | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Action.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::RecentAction::property_show_numbers | ( | ) | const

Whether the items should be displayed with a number.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::RecentAction::property_show_numbers | ( | ) |

Whether the items should be displayed with a number.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

void Gtk::RecentAction::set_show_numbers | ( | bool | show_numbers = `true` ) |

Sets whether a number should be added to the items shown by the widgets representing action.

The numbers are shown to provide a unique character for a mnemonic to be used inside the menu item's label. Only the first ten items get a number to avoid clashes.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

  show_numbers | `true` if the shown items should be numbered.
