This results in the 'activate' signal being * emitted. An activation has a #GVariant parameter (which may be * %NULL). The correct type for the parameter is determined by a static * parameter type (which is given at construction time). * * An action may optionally have a state, in which case the state may be * set with g_action_change_state(). This call takes a #GVariant. The * correct type for the state is determined by a static state type * (which is given at construction time). * * The state may have a hint associated with it, specifying its valid * range. * * #GAction is merely the interface to the concept of an action, as * described above. Various implementations of actions exist, including * #GSimpleAction and #GtkAction. * * In all cases, the implementing class is responsible for storing the * name of the action, the parameter type, the enabled state, the * optional state type and the state and emitting the appropriate * signals when these change. The implementor responsible for filtering * calls to g_action_activate() and g_action_change_state() for type * safety and for the state being enabled. * * Probably the only useful thing to do with a #GAction is to put it * inside of a #GSimpleActionGroup. **/ void g_action_default_init (GActionInterface *iface) { /** * GAction:name: * * The name of the action.
