Implemented Interfaces

HDStatusMenuItem implements HDPluginItem, AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Description

A base class for plugable Status Menu items.

To create a Status Menu plugin derive a class from HDStatusMenuItem and register it with HD_DEFINE_PLUGIN_MODULE().

To show a Status Menu plugin permanently use gtk_widget_show() in the instance init function. To show (and hide) a plugin temporary or conditional use gtk_widget_show() and gtk_widget_hide() or "visible".

Usually a HildonButton should be used as a direct child of the HDStatusMenuItem. Create the Button with hildon_button_new_with_text()

static void
example_plugin_init (ExamplePlugin *plugin)
{
  GtkWidget *button;

  button = hildon_button_new_with_text (HILDON_SIZE_FINGER_HEIGHT | HILDON_SIZE_AUTO_WIDTH,
                                        HILDON_BUTTON_ARRANGEMENT_VERTICAL,
                                        "Example Title",
                                        "Value");

  gtk_widget_show (button);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (plugin), button);

  gtk_widget_show (Gtk_WIDGET (plugin));   
}

If a button is added as a direct child of the HDStatusMenuItem the Status Menu will automatically closed on click.
