Adding Entry into a MenuItem

["Norbert Schultz" <norbert schultz pcvisit de>]

Hi,

I am working on streamlining my Gtk-Application for faster use. It is
currently running inside a StatusIcon and showing up a Menu right clicking
on it. Here the user shall enter a String for before starting an action, for
example a Search-Pattern before searching.

It seems not to be a problem to add a Entry into a MenuItem (since it's
derived from Bin); but no keyboard events come to the Entry. Actually no key
events come to the MenuItem itself. How can I make this Entryfield editable?
Or is it impossible by design to add Entries to Menus?

I am using Gtkmm.

Thanks,

Norbert
