Re: [pygtk] Tooltips on MenuItem and ui_manager

2010-09-08 Thread Alessandro Dentella 
Hi. Sorry for reposting. But it seems strange to me that such an ordinary
feature of Actions/MenuItem tooltip is not known by anybody.

Most of the application I see do have tooltips on menuItems: I can't believe
I should copy tooltips from action to MenuItem by hand...


I've searched in the docs to see if there is a flag that enables them w/o
finding anything.

   ui_manager.get_widget(menu_entry_name).props.tooltip_text   ### None
   ui_manager.get_widget(tool_entry_name).props.tooltip_text   ### None
  
 
 .set_tooltip_text() works correctly in menu items, but it's terribly
 inconvenient to set them one by one when I already set tooltips in the
 actions, I guess I'm missing something!
 
 
 any hints?
 
 thanks

Re: [pygtk] Tooltips on MenuItem and ui_manager

2010-09-08 Thread Alessandro Dentella 
here is the code that shows what I mean. The action 'Test' has a tooltip in
the ToolButton and not in the meny entry:

thanks in advance for any possible hint/explanation

import gtk

GENERAL_UI = '''
  menubar name=Main
 menu action=File
menuitem action=Test/
/menu
  /menubar
  toolbar name=TbMain
 toolitem action=Test/
  /toolbar

h = gtk.VBox()
w.add(h)

actions = gtk.ActionGroup('test')
actions.add_actions([
('File', None, 'FILE'),

ui_manager.add_ui_from_string(GENERAL_UI)

Connect the uimanager to the connect-proxy signal, there you can set 
tooltips to the menuitems.

See in-code for a working implementation.

Note: this maybe can be easier, I just modified it from my code where I 
show a statusbar message when the mousepointer goes over the menuitems.

Thanks Timo. This solves my need.

I still don't understand the logig behind the fact that tooltips are only
activated for Tool items and not for menu Items...

I don't know, but I never saw a program with tooltips on the menuitems, 
they always show up in the statusbar. Maybe it is against some (GNOME?) 
guidelines to do it.


Well, glad it helped.

Timo

[pygtk] Tooltips on MenuItem and ui_manager

2010-09-02 Thread Alessandro Dentella 
Hi again,


I use  UIManager() + group_action.add_actions() to create MenuItems and
ToolItems. I set tooltips as required by actiongroup.add_actions( 5^ field).

These tooltip show correctly for toolitems but they won't for menu
entries. Is it the desired behaviour? What can I do to have tooltips for
MenuItems as well? Note that

  ui_manager.get_action(action_name).props.tooltip

toolitem shows the tooltip correctly):

  ui_manager.get_widget(menu_entry_name).props.tooltip_text   ### None

.set_tooltip_text() works correctly in menu items, but it's terribly
inconvenient to set them one by one when I already set tooltips in the
