## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

A GtkRadioAction is similar to GtkRadioMenuItem. A number of radio actions can be linked together so that only one may be active at any one time.

## Functions

### gtk_radio_action_new ()

    GtkRadioAction *
    gtk_radio_action_new (const gchar *name,
                          const gchar *label,
                          const gchar *tooltip,
                          const gchar *stock_id,
                          gint value);

Creates a new GtkRadioAction object. To add the action to a GtkActionGroup and set the accelerator for the action, call `gtk_action_group_add_action_with_accel()`.

#### Parameters

name | A unique name for the action |
label | The label displayed in menu items and on buttons, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
tooltip | A tooltip for this action, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
stock_id | The stock icon to display in widgets representing this action, or `NULL` |
value | The value which `gtk_radio_action_get_current_value()` should return if this action is selected. |

#### Returns

a new GtkRadioAction

Since: 2.4

### gtk_radio_action_get_group ()

    GSList *
    gtk_radio_action_get_group (GtkRadioAction *action);

Returns the list representing the radio group for this object. Note that the returned list is only valid until the next change to the group.

A common way to set up a group of radio group is the following:

    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    GSList *group = NULL;
    GtkRadioAction *action;

    while (/* more actions to add */)
      {
         action = gtk_radio_action_new (...);

         gtk_radio_action_set_group (action, group);
         group = gtk_radio_action_get_group (action);
      }

#### Parameters

action | the action object |

#### Returns

the list representing the radio group for this object.

### gtk_radio_action_set_group ()

    void
    gtk_radio_action_set_group (GtkRadioAction *action,
                                GSList *group);

Sets the radio group for the radio action object.

#### Parameters

Since: 2.4

### gtk_radio_action_get_current_value ()

    gint
    gtk_radio_action_get_current_value (GtkRadioAction *action);

Obtains the value property of the currently active member of the group to which `action` belongs.

#### Parameters

action | a GtkRadioAction |

#### Returns

The value of the currently active group member

Since: 2.4

### gtk_radio_action_set_current_value ()

    void
    gtk_radio_action_set_current_value (GtkRadioAction *action,
                                        gint current_value);

Sets the currently active group member to the member with value property `current_value` .

#### Parameters

action | a GtkRadioAction |
current_value | the new value |

Since: 2.10

## Types and Values

### struct GtkRadioAction

    struct GtkRadioAction;

The GtkRadioAction struct contains only private members and should not be accessed directly.

## Property Details

### The `“current-value”` property

      “current-value”            gint

The value property of the currently active member of the group to which this action belongs.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0

Since: 2.10

### The `“group”` property

      “group”                    GtkRadioAction *

Sets a new group for a radio action.

Flags: Write

Since: 2.4

### The `“value”` property

      “value”                    gint

The value is an arbitrary integer which can be used as a convenient way to determine which action in the group is currently active in an ::activate or ::changed signal handler. See `gtk_radio_action_get_current_value()` and GtkRadioActionEntry for convenient ways to get and set this property.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: 0

Since: 2.4

## Signal Details

### The `“changed”` signal

    void
    user_function (GtkRadioAction *action,
                   GtkRadioAction *current,
                   gpointer        user_data)

The ::changed signal is emitted on every member of a radio group when the active member is changed. The signal gets emitted after the ::activate signals for the previous and current active members.

#### Parameters

action | the action on which the signal is emitted |
current | the member of `action` s group which has just been activated |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: No Recursion
