## Functions

### gtk_image_menu_item_set_image ()

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

`gtk_image_menu_item_set_image` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

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.

#### Parameters

image_menu_item | a GtkImageMenuItem. |
image | a widget to set as the image for the menu item. | [allow-none]

### gtk_image_menu_item_get_image ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_image_menu_item_get_image (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

`gtk_image_menu_item_get_image` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

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

#### Parameters

image_menu_item | a GtkImageMenuItem |

#### Returns

the widget set as image of `image_menu_item` .

[transfer none]

### gtk_image_menu_item_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_image_menu_item_new (void);

`gtk_image_menu_item_new` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_menu_item_new()` instead.

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);

`gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_menu_item_new()` instead.

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.

#### Parameters

stock_id | the name of the stock item. |
accel_group | the GtkAccelGroup to add the menu items accelerator to, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

a new GtkImageMenuItem.

### gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label (const gchar *label);

`gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_label` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_menu_item_new_with_label()` instead.

Creates a new GtkImageMenuItem containing a label.

#### Parameters

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);

`gtk_image_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic()` instead.

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.

#### Parameters

label | the text of the menu item, with an underscore in front of the mnemonic character |

#### Returns

a new GtkImageMenuItem

### gtk_image_menu_item_get_use_stock ()

                                   (GtkImageMenuItem *image_menu_item);

`gtk_image_menu_item_set_accel_group` has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Specifies an `accel_group` to add the menu items accelerator to (this only applies to stock items so a stock item must already be set, make sure to call `gtk_image_menu_item_set_use_stock()` and `gtk_menu_item_set_label()` with a valid stock item first).
