activate


Description:

public bool activate ()

For widgets that can be “activated” (buttons, menu items, etc.

), this function activates them.

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 during key navigation.

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 isn't activatable, the function returns false.

Parameters:

this

a `GtkWidget` that’s activatable

Returns:

true if the widget was activatable
