Re: Custom Toolbar/Menubar items with the UIManager

Well, it looks like as soon as I ask the question, I've solved it. If 
anyone is interested in how I made new stock items, here is the code. 
Maybe this will make this information more available to others.

void openldev::create_icon_factory()
{
 Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::IconFactory> icon_factory = Gtk::IconFactory::create();
 // Add new stock menu items
 add_new_stock_item(icon_factory, "Compile", "COMPILE", 
"/usr/share/pixmaps/openldev/compile_sm.png");
 // Add items to default
 icon_factory->add_default();
}

// Create new stock menu item
void add_new_stock_item(Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::IconFactory> icon_factory, 
Glib::ustring name, Glib::ustring id, Glib::ustring filename)
{
 Gtk::IconSource icon_source;
 Gtk::IconSet compile_icon;
 const Gtk::StockID stock_id(id);
 icon_source.set_icon_name(name);
 icon_source.set_filename(filename);
 compile_icon.add_source(icon_source);
 icon_factory->add(stock_id, compile_icon);
 Gtk::Stock::add(Gtk::StockItem(stock_id, name));
}
