RE: Access information of an optionsmenu

[martyn 2 russell bt com]

Yea, I had this problem.  The way I did it, was to use gtk_object_set_data
for each menuitem and then when it was clicked I could use
gtk_object_get_data to find out which one had been clicked.

I also created the menu programmatically, which meant I could set up the
"clicked" event to a particular function, this function comes with the
parameters (GtkMenuItem *menuitem, gpointer user_data), I assigned the data
to the menuitem, therefore, I had a function which was called when the item
was clicked and I assigned data to know which item had been clicked.

To find out which option is currently displayed, that's a little harder, you
might want to try using the GtkButton of the GtkOptionMenu (shown below):

  GtkObject
   +----GtkWidget
         +----GtkContainer
               +----GtkBin
                     +----GtkButton
                           +----GtkOptionMenu
 

- I think I tried this but was unsuccessful.  If you are interested in the
index, I don't know that you can? 

Regards,

Martyn
