Okay, that seems reasonable. I suppose that the slot gets attached by fetching the Gtk::Action::signal_activate object, but how does one specify the actual accelerator (for purposes of argument, suppose it's the Escape key) that should be used to activate the action? I don't see any obvious function on the Action class which attaches an accelerator. Suppose we've got the following already: Gtk::Window w; Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::Action> refAction = Gtk::Action::create (); Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::AccelGroup> refGroup = Gtk::AccelGroup::create (); w.add_accel_group (w); refAction.signal_activate ().connect ( ... ); // what next? This question seems to be straying into just questions about Gtk+ API; feel free to direct me to gtk-list instead. > > Murray Cumming > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.murrayc.com > www.openismus.com > > _______________________________________________ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
