newbie question. When the user presses a key (such as 'm') I want to drop down the file menu, but I can't figure out how to do this. I've tried using accelerator keys. They work great for activating menu items, but I couldn't get the file menu to drop down.
Use gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic(): menuitem_file = gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ("_File"); Then "Alt + f" should drop down your menu. Using, gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ("Fi_le") , as example, the trigger will be "Alt + l". I mean, the underscore marks the character that used with the "Alt" key, will drop down your menu. -- Iago Rubio http://www.iagorubio.com GPGkey pgp.rediris.es id 0x909BD4DD fingerprint = D18A B950 5F03 BB9A DD89 AA75 FEDF 1978 909B D4DD ********** iago.rubio(AT)hispalinux.es ********** --------------------------------------------------
