Re: [gtk-list] Re: Underline menu Characters

[Edward March <emarch enteract com>]

I want to underline my menu's 1st character... underscores wont
work in this example.

Im building my menus using glade0.4.1
and code looks like this:

  mFile = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("_File");
  gtk_object_set_data (GTK_OBJECT (TheFinder), "mFile", mFile);
  gtk_widget_show (mFile);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (menubar1), mFile);               

	In this case the underline DOES not work any ideas on what
	I can do beside using MenuFactory ?
