From what I can tell, UIManager has no direct support for
MenuToolButton, which was a big disappointment to me. I have been able
to work around this with a bit of a hack. This hack works well when your
button position is stationary, but fails if your buttons are more
dynamic (if you add and remove ui's and action groups).
This is what we do to attach an Open/OpenRecent menutoolbutton. The menu
already exists in the ui xml description.
# create the MenuToolButton
openbtn = gtk.MenuToolButton(gtk.STOCK_OPEN)
openbtn.show()
openbtn.connect('clicked',self.open_activate)
# extract openrecent menu from the uimanager
menu_item = self.uimanager.get_widget('/MenuBar/FileMenu/OpenRecent')
# set the menu on the menutoolbutton to the extracted menu
openbtn.set_menu(menu_item.get_submenu())
# find the toolbar from the uimanager and insert the button
# at the fixed location
toolbar = self.uimanager.get_widget('/ToolBar')
toolbar.insert(openbtn,1)

Hello,
Is there an obvious way to add a MenuToolButton to Toolbar
using UIManager?
Thanks
