Widget.activate

bool activate()

For widgets that can be “activated” (buttons, menu items, etc.), this function activates them.

The activation will emit the signal set using [gtk.widget_class.WidgetClass.setActivateSignal] during class initialization.

Activation is what happens when you press <kbd>Enter</kbd> on a widget during key navigation.

If you wish to handle the activation keybinding yourself, it is recommended to use [gtk.widget_class.WidgetClass.addShortcut] with an action created with [gtk.signal_action.SignalAction.new_].

If widget isn't activatable, the function returns false.

Returns

true if the widget was activatable
