Re: Stock components.

Hi!

I sent this before - but did not see it get through! So am sending it
again. Hope it gets through. :-)

If you are using the GtkItemFactory to create your menu's then just
set the item type <StockItem> and pass the StockItemId in the extra_data
pointer. This is new in Gtk2.

If you building the menu items by hand then you will need to create the
new menu item using gtk_image_menu_item_new_from_stock()

Just learning Gtk and thought I could answer this question. Hope it
helps.

Sample code follows:

/* START OF CODE */

static GtkItemFactoryEntry menubarItems[] =
        {
        { "/_File", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Branch>" },
                {
                "/File/E_xit", "<Ctrl>Q",
                (GtkItemFactoryCallback)menu_file_exit, 0,
                "<Item>"
                },
        { "/_Edit", NULL, NULL, 0, "<Branch>" },
                {
                "/Edit/Copy", NULL,
                (GtkItemFactoryCallback)menu_edit_copy, 0,
                "<Item>"
                },
                {
                "/Edit/Separator", NULL,
                NULL, 0,
                "<Separator>"
                },
                {
                "/Edit/Preferences", NULL,
                (GtkItemFactoryCallback)menu_edit_preferences, 0,
                "<StockItem>", GTK_STOCK_PREFERENCES
                }
        };

GtkWidget *create_menu_bar(void)
{
        GtkAccelGroup   *accel_group;
        GtkItemFactory  *ifac;

        accel_group = gtk_accel_group_new();
        gtk_window_add_accel_group(GTK_WINDOW(MainWin), accel_group);

        ifac = gtk_item_factory_new(GTK_TYPE_MENU_BAR, "<main>",
                                        accel_group);
        gtk_item_factory_create_items(ifac,
                        sizeof(menubarItems)/sizeof(menubarItems[0]),
                                menubarItems, NULL);

        return gtk_item_factory_get_widget(ifac, "<main>");
}

/* END OF CODE */
