Function

Gtkaccelerator_parse

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_accelerator_parse (
  const gchar* accelerator,
  guint* accelerator_key,
  GdkModifierType* accelerator_mods
)

Description [src]

Parses a string representing an accelerator. The format looks like “a” or “F1” or “z” (the last one is for key release).

The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as “” and “”. Key names are parsed using gdk_keyval_from_name(). For character keys the name is not the symbol, but the lowercase name, e.g. one would use “minus” instead of “-”.

If the parse fails, accelerator_key and accelerator_mods will be set to 0 (zero).

Parameters

`accelerator`	`const gchar*`
	String representing an accelerator.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
	The string is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`accelerator_key`	`guint*`
	Return location for accelerator keyval, or `NULL`.
	The argument will be set by the function.
	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
`accelerator_mods`	`GdkModifierType`
	Return location for accelerator modifier mask, `NULL`.
	The argument will be set by the function.
	The argument can be `NULL`.
	The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
