Making a Python/GTK CheckMenuItem, when clicked, not close the menu
Hi Using Python and PyGTK I've got a GtkMenu with various GtkCheckMenuItems in it. When the user clicks one of the checkboxes the menu closes. I'd like for the user to be able to check a series of checkboxes without the menu closing each time. I've looked at using the activate callback to show the menu but I can't figure a way to make this work. I've tried various things including having the following in the activate event callback function: menu.show_all() menu.popup(None, None, None, 1, gtk.get_current_event_time()) This is the code I use to show the menu when the trayicon is clicked but in this instance it doesn't show. In addition I've tried passing in my own function to set the menu position to, for example, (100,100) but this has not been successful. Any suggestions? Many thanks, David Salisbury ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
safely emit signal to main loop (main thread) from worker thread
greetings, How can I safely emit a custom signal from a working thread to gtk main loop (main thread) to execute a custom call back function connected to that custom signal. A short working example or a link to that is appreciated. regards, ferar ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Not sure if I understand your intention here. In GObject/GTK+, signals are tied to objects and are emitted, not sent - meaning that the object does not have any knowledge where (or if) and by whom the signal is handled. Really, it's pretty much like radio which is broadcasted so you may tune in (or not), not sent specifically to your receiver. If all you want is executing some function in the main thread, you maybe the g_timeout/g_idle functions provide what you're looking for. With that having said, it is always a good idea to provide some stripped down source code.

Re: Making a Python/GTK CheckMenuItem, when clicked, not close the menu
Using Python and PyGTK I've got a GtkMenu with various GtkCheckMenuItems in it. When the user clicks one of the checkboxes the menu closes. I'd like for the user to be able to check a series of checkboxes without the menu closing each time. I looked into this myself a while back, and gave up. More important things to do, and so forth. One thing did occur to me, though. It's kind of annoying when you click a check menu item, and the menu doesn't go away. And having some that do, and some that don't, would probably drive my balmy. I wonder, if it would be sane for menus to not close, say, if the shift or ctrl key is being held down. In some rare occasions it's even useful for non-togglable menu items. For example, recently used documents perhaps; you could open the last three documents by holding down the shift key while you clicked on them. (Some thought would have to go into subsequent selections opening new tabs/windows, but that's a separate issue.) Back to the original question; the better way, would probably be to use a dialog box in this instance, to allow these options to be changed without having to go back to the menu all the time. Perhaps depending on usage, an Options menu item as well as the individual options, which brings them up in a dialog for when you need to change multiple options.
