## Types and Values

### struct GtkMenuToolButton

    struct GtkMenuToolButton;

## Property Details

### The `“menu”` property

      “menu”                     GtkMenu *

The dropdown menu.

Flags: Read / Write

## Signal Details

### The `“show-menu”` signal

    void
    user_function (GtkMenuToolButton *button,
                   gpointer           user_data)

The ::show-menu signal is emitted before the menu is shown.

It can be used to populate the menu on demand, using `gtk_menu_tool_button_get_menu()`.

Note that even if you populate the menu dynamically in this way, you must set an empty menu on the GtkMenuToolButton beforehand, since the arrow is made insensitive if the menu is not set.

#### Parameters

button | the object on which the signal is emitted |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run First
