Re: How to put a pixmap on a GtkMenuItem?

[Thierry Brichler <thierry brichler noos fr>]

Hello,

Simply create a GtkMenuItem, in which you placed an hbox, which
contains the pixmap and the associated label.

Here is an example :

/* CheckMenu.c */
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
static char *Icon[] = {
/*      width height num_colors char_per_pixel  */
  " 10 9 2 1",
/*      colors          */
  ". c None",
  "y c #ff1f00",
/*      pixels          */
  "..........",
  "........yy",
  ".......yy.",
  "......yy..",
  ".yyy.yy...",
  "..yyyy....",
  "...yy.....",
  "..........",
  "..........",
};

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  GtkWidget *Fenetre;
  GtkWidget *MenuBar;
  GtkWidget *Menu;
  GtkWidget *MenuItem;
  GtkWidget *Label;
  GtkWidget *hbox;

/*==================================================*/
/*============== Pixmap declarations ====================*/
/*===================================================*/
  GtkWidget *Pixmap;
  GdkPixmap *PixmapIcon;
  GdkBitmap *MaskIcon;
  GdkColor transparent;
/*===================================================*/
/*============== End Pixmap declarations =================*/
/*===================================================*/

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
  Fenetre = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
/* Connexion des signaux "delete" et "destroy" */
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (Fenetre), "delete_event",
        (GtkSignalFunc) gtk_exit, NULL);
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (Fenetre), "destroy",
        (GtkSignalFunc) gtk_exit, NULL);
/*=================================================*/
/*============= Dealing with the pixmap =================*/
/*=================================================*/
  gtk_widget_realize (Fenetre);

  PixmapIcon = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d (Fenetre->window,
          &MaskIcon, &transparent, Icon);
  Pixmap = gtk_pixmap_new (PixmapIcon, MaskIcon);
  gdk_pixmap_unref (PixmapIcon);
/*================================================*/
/*============= End Dealing with the pixmap ============*/
/*================================================*/

  MenuBar = gtk_menu_bar_new ();
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (Fenetre), MenuBar);

  MenuItem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Cases");
  gtk_menu_bar_append (GTK_MENU_BAR (MenuBar), MenuItem);

  Menu = gtk_menu_new ();
  gtk_menu_item_set_submenu (GTK_MENU_ITEM (MenuItem), Menu);

  MenuItem = gtk_menu_item_new ();
/*=================================================*/
/*============= Including the pixmap in the Menu Item  ======*/
/*=================================================*/
  hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5);
  gtk_box_pack_start_defaults (GTK_BOX (hbox), Pixmap);
  Label = gtk_label_new ("Case 1");
  gtk_box_pack_start_defaults (GTK_BOX (hbox), Label);
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (MenuItem), hbox);
/*================================================*/
/*============= End Including the pixmap in the Menu Item ==*/
/*================================================*/
  gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (Menu), MenuItem);

  MenuItem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Case 2");
  gtk_menu_append (GTK_MENU (Menu), MenuItem);

  MenuItem = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Quitter");
  gtk_menu_bar_append (GTK_MENU_BAR (MenuBar), MenuItem);
  gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (MenuItem), "activate",
        (GtkSignalFunc) gtk_exit, NULL);
  gtk_menu_item_right_justify (GTK_MENU_ITEM (MenuItem));

  gtk_widget_show_all (Fenetre);
/* La boucle principale */
  gtk_main ();
}
