Re: GTK MenuShell Nested Menu's

[Kevin Anthony <kevin s anthony gmail com>]

Thanks, that helped alot, but now i'm suck again
i'm populating the submenu's like this:
if (!(g_strcmp0(progType,menu1))){
                        GtkWidget *item;
                        item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(progName);
                        gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL (menu1), item);
                        printf("%s\n",sptr);

g_signal_connect_swapped(item,"activate",G_CALLBACK(callback1),(gpointer)"Callback1");
                }else if (!(g_strcmp0(progType,menu2))){
                        GtkWidget *item2;
                        item2 = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label(progName);
                        gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL (menu2), item2);

g_signal_connect_swapped(item2,"activate",G_CALLBACK(callback2),NULL);
                }

void callback1(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data){
      printf("callback called\n,%s\n",(char*) data);
}
and data is garbage.
i read in a bunch of file names in the format progName.progType.xml.
but if i have more then one of a given progType, i need full file
name, it's stored in sptr, but it gets freed at the end of this loop.
so i tired gtk_widget_set_name(item,sptr) but when in callback1, i
called gtk_widget_get_name, it falled assert is widget.

what's the proper way of doing this?

Thanks
Kevin
