activate


Description:

public bool activate ()

Activates the widget.

The activation will emit the signal set using [method@Gtk.WidgetClass.set_activate_signal] during class initialization.

Activation is what happens when you press <kbd>Enter</kbd> on a widget.

If you wish to handle the activation keybinding yourself, it is recommended to use [method@Gtk.WidgetClass.add_shortcut] with an action created with [ctor@Gtk.SignalAction.new].

If this is not activatable, the function returns false.

Parameters:

this

a widget that is activatable

Returns:

true if the widget was activated
