## Detailed Description

An action which can be toggled between two states.

A Gtk::ToggleAction corresponds roughly to a Gtk::CheckMenuItem. It has an "active" state specifying whether the action has been checked or not.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::ToggleAction::~ToggleAction | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::ToggleAction::ToggleAction | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

Creates an empty toggle action.

Gtk::ToggleAction::ToggleAction | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
|  | const StockID& | stock_id = `StockID()`,

|  | const Glib::ustring & | tooltip = `Glib::ustring()`,
|  | bool | is_active = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[explicit, protected]`

Creates a toggle action.

Parameters:

  | name | A unique name for the action.
  | stock_id | The stock icon to display in widgets representing the action.
  | label | The label displayed in menu items and on buttons.
  | tooltip | A tooltip for the action.
  | is_active | The default checked state of the action.

Gtk::ToggleAction::ToggleAction | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name,
