💖 Gtk2::RecentAction 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Gtk2::RecentAction — she's a little wrapper for GtkRecentAction and honestly? she's serving. this page lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the Gtk2::RecentAction(3) manual, and we're gonna get you fully caught up. no gatekeeping here 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $action = Gtk2::RecentAction->new (name => name,
                                      label => label,
                                      tooltip => tooltip,
                                      stock-id => stock_id,
                                      recent-manager => manager);

okay so real talk — this constructor slightly deviates from the convenience constructor in the C API. not a glow-up, not a downgrade, just a lil difference. instead of passing in a list of values for name, label, tooltip, stock-id and value, you just use key => value pairs, exactly like you'd do with Glib::Object::new. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

Glib::Object
+----Gtk2::Action
     +----Gtk2::RecentAction

look at the family tree bestie, she comes from a long line of icons 👑

🦋 INTERFACES 🦋

Gtk2::Buildable
Gtk2::RecentChooser

she implements both, she's multi-talented, she contains multitudes ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

boolean = $action->get_show_numbers

$action->set_show_numbers ($show_numbers)

  • $show_numbers (boolean)

so you can get the show-numbers flag and you can set the show-numbers flag. tiny method, big main character energy. also heads up, there's a lil bullet item that comes with it:

  • $show_numbers (boolean)

yep, that's the argument type, it's a boolean, fr fr. 🙈

👑 PROPERTIES 👑

  • 'show-numbers' (boolean : default false : readable / writable) — whether the items should be displayed with a number

readable and writable, defaulting to false, so out of the box she's not numbering anything. turn it on and suddenly everything's got a lil number next to it. it's giving organized. it's giving list. we love her 😭💖
