Class AccelGroup


public class AccelGroup
extends GObject

An AccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached to a toplevel Window. Usually you will not need to create an AccelGroup directoy; instead, when using ItemFactory, GTK+ automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the item factory's AccelGroup.

Note that accelerators are different from mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu item they're a shortcut for. For example, "Ctrl+Q" might appear alongside the "Quit" menu item. Mnemonics are shortcuts for GUI elements such as text entries or buttons; they appear as underlined characters.

public static Type getType()
Retrieve the runtime type used by the GLib library.

lock

public void lock()
Locks the accelerator group. Locking an acclerator group prevents the accelerators contained within it to be changed during runtime. If this method is called more than once, the AccelGroup remains locked until unlock is called the equivalent number of times.
