Re: Using Gtk.Builder to create a menubar.
Yes, actions get a prefix depending on where you put them. Every "action
container" has a prefix. In your case you add_action() to
GtkApplicationWindow and its prefix is "win"

"bar" is the name of the action. "win" describes the action's scope.
Check out the "Action scopes" section in https://developer.gnome.org/GAction/
and a brief discussion on "quit" vs "app.quit" in the GActionMap
section.

The name of the action in the XML and the code is different. Why? What
is the system behind it?

Re: Using Gtk.Builder to create a menubar.
"1. It uses "QMenu" (from Gtk or Gio?) to build a menu structure. I would prefere this way instead of an XML string. It should be possible in Python, too? Gtk.Menu or Gio.Menu?" My understanding of this is that the GMenu is used with the GtkApplication and a GtkMenu is used with the "regular" GTK setup. You can use either one in code depending on what your program needs and how your program is structured.

you get the GMenuModel from the builder
menumodel = builder.get_object('TheMenuModel')
and you create a menubar widget from the menumodel:
menubar = Gtk.MenuBar.new_from_model(menumodel)

Using Gtk.Builder to create a menubar.
X-Post: I was redirected from
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/python-hackers-list/2018-April/msg4.html
to here.
I try to use Gtk.Builder to create a menubar. It is not working
because the documentation is not clear for me. There is no exmple for
a IMO usual thing like a menubar.
To improve documentation and the help other new users I created a
question with example code on StackOverflow.
https://stackoverflow.com/q/49964906/4865723
Currently I can put the XML-string and the Gio.Action together. Not
sure if this is the correct way!? But the next step is the main
problem. I don't know how to create a menubar widget out of it.
btw: I don't want to use Gtk.Application.set_menubar(). Because there
is no Gtk.Application.set_toolbar() and currently I see no advantage on
having a Gtk-based application object.
This is the code
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
from gi.repository import Gio
class Window(Gtk.ApplicationWindow):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self)
self.set_default_size(200, 100)
#
self.interface_info = """
Foo
Bar
"""
builder = Gtk.Builder.new_from_string(self.interface_info, -1)
action_bar = Gio.SimpleAction.new('bar', None)
action_bar.connect('activate', self.on_menu)
self.add_action(action_bar)
menubar = builder.get_object('TheMenu')
# layout
self.layout = Gtk.Box(orientation=Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL)
self.layout.pack_start(menubar, True, True, 0)
self.add(self.layout)
