No, the items within the factory are just normal menu items (or
checkitems). What I mean is a gtk_option_menu_new() type of menu - i.e.
a button that pops up a menu.
I have stuff like this in old code:
mw->optionmenu_status = gtk_option_menu_new();
gtk_widget_show(mw->optionmenu_status);
...appending a bunch of stuff to menu_status
gtk_option_menu_set_menu(GTK_OPTION_MENU(mw->optionmenu_status),
mw->menu_status);
gtk_toolbar_append_widget(GTK_TOOLBAR(mw->toolbar),
mw->optionmenu_status, "Change Status", NULL);
I tried something like this with ItemFactory:
get_status_menu(mw->window, &mw->optionmenu_status);
gtk_widget_show(mw->optionmenu_status);
gtk_toolbar_append_widget(GTK_TOOLBAR(mw->toolbar),
mw->optionmenu_status, "Change Status", NULL);
get_status_menu is similar to the stuff in the tutorial except it sets
the type to GTK_TYPE_OPTION_MENU instead of GTK_TYPE_MENU_BAR.
For the items structure I have this:
static GtkItemFactoryEntry status_items[] =
{
{"/_Status", NULL, 0, 0, "<Title>" },
{"/Status/Available", NULL, handle_menu_status,
YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE, "<Item>"},
{"/Status/sep1", NULL, 0,
YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE, "<Separator>"},
{"/Status/1", NULL, handle_menu_status,
YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE, "<Item>"},
{"/Status/2", NULL, handle_menu_status,
YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE, "<Item>"},
{"/Status/3", NULL, handle_menu_status,
YAHOO_STATUS_AVAILABLE, "<Item>"}
};
This doesn't work.
I get a bunch of errors about bin->child being null.
