## Description

AmtkApplicationWindow extends the GtkApplicationWindow class with a “statusbar” property and functions to show longer descriptions of GtkMenuItem's to the GtkStatusbar.

Note that AmtkApplicationWindow extends the GtkApplicationWindow class but without subclassing it, because several libraries might want to extend GtkApplicationWindow and an application needs to be able to use all those extensions at the same time.

## Functions

### amtk_application_window_get_from_gtk_application_window ()

    AmtkApplicationWindow *
    amtk_application_window_get_from_gtk_application_window
                                   (GtkApplicationWindow *gtk_window);

Returns the AmtkApplicationWindow of `gtk_window` . The returned object is guaranteed to be the same for the lifetime of `gtk_window` .

#### Parameters

gtk_window | a GtkApplicationWindow. |

#### Returns

the AmtkApplicationWindow of `gtk_window` .

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_get_application_window ()

    GtkApplicationWindow *
    amtk_application_window_get_application_window
                                   (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window);

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |

#### Returns

the GtkApplicationWindow of `amtk_window` .

[transfer none]

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_get_statusbar ()

    GtkStatusbar *
    amtk_application_window_get_statusbar (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window);

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |

#### Returns

the “statusbar”.

[transfer none][nullable]

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_set_statusbar ()

    void
    amtk_application_window_set_statusbar (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window,
                                           GtkStatusbar *statusbar);

Sets the “statusbar” property.

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |
statusbar | a GtkStatusbar, or `NULL`. | [nullable]

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_connect_menu_to_statusbar ()

    void
    amtk_application_window_connect_menu_to_statusbar
                                   (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window,
                                    GtkMenuShell *menu_shell);

Connects to the “menu-item-selected” and “menu-item-deselected” signals of `menu_shell` to push/pop the long description of GtkMenuItem's to the “statusbar”.

The long description is retrieved with `amtk_menu_item_get_long_description()`. So `amtk_menu_item_set_long_description()` must have been called, which is the case if the GtkMenuItem has been created with AmtkFactory.

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |
menu_shell | a GtkMenuShell. |

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_connect_recent_chooser_menu_to_statusbar ()

    void
    amtk_application_window_connect_recent_chooser_menu_to_statusbar
                                   (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window,
                                    GtkRecentChooserMenu *menu);

An alternative to `gtk_recent_chooser_set_show_tips()`. Shows the full path in the “statusbar” when a GtkMenuItem of `menu` is selected.

The full path is retrieved with `amtk_utils_recent_chooser_menu_get_item_uri()`.

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |
menu | a GtkRecentChooserMenu. |

Since: 2.0

### amtk_application_window_create_open_recent_menu ()

    GtkWidget *
    amtk_application_window_create_open_recent_menu
                                   (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window);

Creates a simple and generic GtkRecentChooserMenu.

The GtkRecentChooser is configured to show files only recently used with the current application, as returned by `g_get_application_name()`. If recent files are added to the default GtkRecentManager with `gtk_recent_manager_add_item()`, the files will normally show up in the GtkRecentChooserMenu.

The GtkRecentChooserMenu is connected to the statusbar with `amtk_application_window_connect_recent_chooser_menu_to_statusbar()`.

When the “item-activated” signal is emitted, `g_application_open()` is called (with an empty hint), so the GApplication must have the `G_APPLICATION_HANDLES_OPEN` flag set.

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |

#### Returns

a new GtkRecentChooserMenu.

Since: 3.0

### amtk_application_window_create_open_recent_menu_item ()

                                   (AmtkApplicationWindow *amtk_window);

Creates a GtkMenuItem with a simple and generic GtkRecentChooserMenu as submenu. The GtkRecentChooserMenu is created with `amtk_application_window_create_open_recent_menu()`.

#### Parameters

amtk_window | an AmtkApplicationWindow. |

#### Returns

a new GtkMenuItem.
