Class Gnome.App

Description

Toplevel GNOME applications would normally use one Gnome.App widget as their toplevel window. You can create as many Gnome.App widgets as you want, for example, some people use one GnomeApp per document their application loads.

Once you have created one instance of this widget, you would add your main application view information to this window by using set_contents() routine.

The GnomeApp has support for including a menubar, one or more toolbars and a statusbar for your application. It also takes care of intalling the accelerators for you when used in conjuction with the gnome-app-helper routines. The toolbars are inserted into Gnome.Dock widgets.

The gnome-app-helper module provides various helper routines to simplify the configuration of your menus and toolbars, but you can create those yourself and use the set_menus(), add_toolbar(), set_toolbar(), add_dock_item() and add_docked().
