## Description

A GtkImageMenuItem is a menu item which has an icon next to the text label.

Note that the user can disable display of menu icons, so make sure to still fill in the text label.

## Details

### GtkImageMenuItem

    typedef struct _GtkImageMenuItem GtkImageMenuItem;

### gtk_image_menu_item_set_image ()

    void                gtk_image_menu_item_set_image       (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item,
                                                             GtkWidget *image);

Sets the image of `image_menu_item` to the given widget. Note that it depends on the show-menu-images setting whether the image will be displayed or not.

`image_menu_item` : | a GtkImageMenuItem.
`image` : | a widget to set as the image for the menu item.

### gtk_image_menu_item_get_image ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_image_menu_item_get_image       (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

Gets the widget that is currently set as the image of `image_menu_item`. See `gtk_image_menu_item_set_image()`.

`image_menu_item` : | a GtkImageMenuItem.
Returns : | the widget set as image of `image_menu_item`.

### gtk_image_menu_item_new ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_image_menu_item_new             (void);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem with an empty label.

Returns : | a new GtkImageMenuItem.

### gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock  (const gchar *stock_id,
                                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing the image and text from a stock item. Some stock ids have preprocessor macros like GTK_STOCK_OK and GTK_STOCK_APPLY.

If you want this menu item to have changeable accelerators, then pass in `NULL` for accel_group. Next call `gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path()` with an appropriate path for the menu item, use `gtk_stock_lookup()` to look up the standard accelerator for the stock item, and if one is found, call `gtk_accel_map_add_entry()` to register it.

`stock_id` : | the name of the stock item.
`accel_group` : | the GtkAccelGroup to add the menu items accelerator to, or `NULL`.
Returns : | a new GtkImageMenuItem.

### gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label  (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing a label.

`label` : | the text of the menu item.
Returns : | a new GtkImageMenuItem.

### gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ()

    GtkWidget*          gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic
                                                            (const gchar *label);

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing a label. The label will be created using `gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()`, so underscores in `label` indicate the mnemonic for the menu item.

`label` : | the text of the menu item, with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character
Returns : | a new GtkImageMenuItem

## Property Details

      "image"                    GtkWidget*            : Read / Write
