Re: Getting submenu from a MenuItem

[Gavin Jefferies <gj262 yahoo com>]

Hi Toby,

To add an arbitrary widget to a Gtk::Menu you can create a MenuItem
and use ->add(). This is how I insert space into a menu. For example:

    # menu created, items added....

    # Spacer
    $menuItem = Gtk::MenuItem->new();
    $menuItem->show();
    $menu->append($menuItem);
    my $sbox = Gtk::HBox->new(0, 0);
    $sbox->show;
    $menuItem->add($sbox);
    my $slabel = Gtk::Label->new;
    $slabel->show;
    $sbox->pack_start($slabel, 1, 1, 0); # label expands to fill the box...

Perhaps this is what you are looking for??
Gavin
