Re: [Vala] Can not connect Gtk.Action to a function

[Hadi Aminzadeh <hadi60 gmail com>]

I also tried the following to connect the activate signal to sample_func:

  test.activate.connect (sample_func);

And the old syntax:

  test.activate += sample_func;

But nothing happens in both when I click testitem in the menubar.
Is it possible that activate signal couldn't be emitted on click?
Or should sample_func have an special defenition?
How could i test that the signal is really emitted?
