## Detailed Description

RemoteActionGroup - a ActionGroup that interacts with other processes.

The RemoteActionGroup interface is implemented by ActionGroup instances that either transmit action invocations to other processes or receive action invocations in the local process from other processes.

The interface has variants of the two methods on ActionGroup used to activate actions: Gio::ActionGroup::activate_action() and Gio::ActionGroup::change_action_state(). These variants allow a "platform data" Glib::VariantBase to be specified: a dictionary providing context for the action invocation (for example: timestamps, startup notification IDs, etc).

Gio::DBus::ActionGroup implements RemoteActionGroup. This provides a mechanism to send platform data for action invocations over D-Bus.

Additionally, Gio::DBus::Connection::export_action_group() will check if the exported ActionGroup implements RemoteActionGroup and use the variants of the calls if available. This provides a mechanism by which to receive platform data for action invocations that arrive by way of D-Bus.

Since glibmm 2.32:

## Member Function Documentation

void Gio::RemoteActionGroup::activate_action | ( | const Glib::ustring& | action_name,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | parameter,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | platform_data
| ) |  |

Activates the remote action.

This is the same as g_action_group_activate_action() except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the activation request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

platform_data must be non-`0` and must have the type VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  action_name | The name of the action to activate.
  parameter | The optional parameter to the activation.
  platform_data | The platform data to send.

virtual void Gio::RemoteActionGroup::activate_action_vfunc | ( | const Glib::ustring& | action_name,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | parameter,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | platform_data
| ) |  |

void Gio::RemoteActionGroup::change_action_state | ( | const Glib::ustring& | action_name,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | value,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | platform_data
| ) |  |

Changes the state of a remote action.

This is the same as g_action_group_change_action_state() except that it allows for provision of "platform data" to be sent along with the state change request. This typically contains details such as the user interaction timestamp or startup notification information.

platform_data must be non-`0` and must have the type VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT. If it is floating, it will be consumed.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  action_name | The name of the action to change the state of.
  value | The new requested value for the state.
  platform_data | The platform data to send.

virtual void Gio::RemoteActionGroup::change_action_state_vfunc | ( | const Glib::ustring& | action_name,
|  | const Glib::VariantBase& | value,

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::RemoteActionGroup > wrap | ( | GRemoteActionGroup * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
