I have a program I wrote in C using GTK2+. I have just added a toggle
item to a menu, which controls a boolean. The same boolean is also
controlled by a configuration file. So, in the process of reading the
configuration file, how do I check or uncheck the menu entry?
static GtkItemFactoryEntry menu_items[] = {
/* menu hierarchy Accel Function action Type */
{ "/_File", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Branch>" },
...
{ "/Units/_Metric", "<ctrl>m", setUnits, METRIC, "<RadioItem>" },
{ "/Units/_US", "<ctrl>i", setUnits, US, "/Units/Metric" },
{ "/Units/_Knots", "<ctrl>k", setUnits, KNOTS, "/Units/Metric" },
{ "/Units/Sep", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Separator>" },
{ "/Units/_Gmt", "<ctrl>g", setGmt, 0, "<ToggleItem>" },
...
};
I figure I need to access it something like the same way I do the
radio button items above it:
case METRIC:
gtk_check_menu_item_set_active(
GTK_CHECK_MENU_ITEM (gtk_item_factory_get_item (item_factory,
"/Units/Knots")),
TRUE);
But so far I have not found a suitable magic incantation.
Thanks
