I've created some menus with the Gtk::Menu_Helpers interface as shown but
now I would like to be able to call set_sensitive(false) on some of the
entries to disable them. One way I found of doing this is simply creating
a MenuList like so and referring to the index of the MenuItem I care about
by number:
void MainWindow::on_menu_help_about()
{
Gtk::Menu::MenuList& menulist = m_editmenu.items();
menulist[0].set_sensitive(false);
}
Unfortunately this seems a rather restrictive way of doing things since it
assumes that I know the menu layout beforehand. I know that in gtk if you
use a call like gtk_item_factory_get_widget(item_factory,
"path/to/menu/item") you can get a handle to the widget and disable the
menu entry.
Is there an equivalent way to do this in gtkmm when you construct the
MenuList with the Menu_Helpers interface as shown above or would I have to
build the Menu up manually? I suppose I could use a hash table, constants
or something else for a more convenient way to use the [] indexing but
even then it seems less than ideal.
I know, I'm probably trying to have my cake and eat it too...
