Thanks for responding to my problem.
Sorry for being so dense, but I can't seem to get this to work. I am using
pygtk 0.6.6-7 and libgtk-1.2 on a Redhat 7.1 system. My code for the menu
looks something like this:
menu_items = (
( "/_File", None, None, 0, "<Branch>" ),
( "/File/_Save", "<control>S", self.saveEvent, 0, None ),
)
accelGrp = gtk.GtkAccelGroup()
itemFac = gtk.GtkItemFactory(gtk.GtkMenuBar.get_type(), "<main>", accelGrp)
mainWin.add_accel_group(accelGrp)
menuBar = itemFac.get_widget("<main>")
The above works fine. Then I tried something like
editItem = itemFac.get_item("/File/_Save")
so that I could do
editItem.set_sensitive(gtk.FALSE)
but I got an 'AttributeError: get_item' on the first of these last 2 lines.
I obviously didn't quite get your explanation. I would be greatful if you
could correct my example code so that it will work.
Thanks again,
Gary
