Hi All,

I would like to start actions in geany from inside a geany plugin?

E.g. start the Color Chooser as if it was selected from the geany 
tools menu.
I tried to call the callback function directly but that gives an 
linker error for geany plugins (just logical).


Can I fire/send an event/message to make it being started? How do I 
do that?




If you happen to find one that's not available as a keybinding 
command, you can also use `ui_lookup_widget()` to get a handle on the 
menu item and then activate it through code (ie. 
`gtk_actionable_activate()` or something). This is kind of brittle, 
but it does work.

[Geany-Devel] How can a plugin invoke menu items/geany actions?

2017-12-20 Thread Lars Paulsen 

Hi All,

I would like to start actions in geany from inside a geany plugin?

E.g. start the Color Chooser as if it was selected from the geany tools 
menu.
I tried to call the callback function directly but that gives an linker 
error for geany plugins (just logical).


Can I fire/send an event/message to make it being started? How do I do that?

Best Regards,
Lars
