Entry widget as a menu item not editable help?

[Kerry Keal <needles industrialmusic com>]

Hi, 
 I'm using gtk+ 1.2.10. I'm trying to create a menu item that contains
an entry widget. I'm able to put the entry widget into the menu, except
it is not editable and does not give callbacks. Could someone please
help? Below, I created a small sample program that can be compiled with:
gcc -Wall `pkg-config gtk+ --cflags --libs` main.c
Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Kerry



-----Sample Code Below----
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static void entry_CB( GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data )
{
  printf("entry callback\n");
}

static void label_CB( GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data )
{
  printf("label callback\n");
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GtkWidget *entry_item,*label_item,*menu;
  GtkWidget *entryW,*menu_bar,*top_item,*vbox;
  GtkWidget *window;

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
  
  window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_widget_set_usize (GTK_WIDGET(window), 300, 200);
  
  menu = gtk_menu_new ();

  label_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("label");
  entry_item = gtk_menu_item_new();
  gtk_widget_show(label_item);
  gtk_widget_show(entry_item);
  
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (label_item), "activate",
			    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (label_CB),
			    NULL);
   
  /* You can't type in this entry widget or get a callback */
  entryW = gtk_entry_new();
  gtk_widget_show(entryW);
  gtk_entry_set_max_length(GTK_ENTRY(entryW),7);
  gtk_editable_set_editable(GTK_EDITABLE(entryW),TRUE);
  gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(entryW), "activate",
		     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(entry_CB),
		     NULL);


  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(entry_item),entryW);

  gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (menu), label_item);
  gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (menu), entry_item);
 
  vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 0);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), vbox);
  gtk_widget_show (vbox);

  menu_bar = gtk_menu_bar_new();
  gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), menu_bar, FALSE, FALSE, 2);
  gtk_widget_show (menu_bar);
  
  top_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Head");
  gtk_widget_show (top_item);
  
  gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (GTK_MENU_ITEM (top_item), menu);
  
  gtk_menu_bar_append (GTK_MENU_BAR (menu_bar), top_item);
 
  gtk_widget_show (window);

  gtk_main ();

  return 0;
}
