Re: [Vala] How to call base constructors

I was thinking to call the base constructor, but instead of 
gtk_check_menu_item_new_with_label, vala generates
gtk_check_menu_item_construct_with_label

Do you know how can I call a base constructor?

Many thanks!

Here is my example:

public class ProjectMenuItem : Gtk.CheckMenuItem {
      public int id {set; get;}

      public ProjectMenuItem.with_label(string name) {
              base.with_label(name);
      }

      public ProjectMenuItem.with_mnemonic(string name) {
              base.with_mnemonic(name);
      }

}



You could do this as a workaround instead of calling base:

public class ProjectMenuItem : Gtk.CheckMenuItem {
        public int id {set; get;}

        public ProjectMenuItem.with_label(string name) {
                this.label = name;
        }

        public ProjectMenuItem.with_mnemonic(string name) {
                this.label = name;
                this.use_underline = true;
        }
}
