Gtk2::ToggleAction(3)

💖 Gtk2::ToggleAction — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this page is all about Gtk2::ToggleAction, the Perl wrapper for GtkToggleAction. She's a lil toggle button's brain, basically. Let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $action = Gtk2::ToggleAction->new (name => 'one',
                                      tooltip => 'One');

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lowkey important: new here is just the plain Glib::Object new (peep Gtk2::Action for that vibe). The name, label, tooltip and stock_id arguments from the C function gtk_toggle_action_new() can all be passed as key/value pairs, plus you can throw in other property values like active or sensitive. It's giving "choose your own adventure" but make it constructor args 💅
