menuitems + glade + accelerator keys

[Tobias Eberle <tobias eberle gmx de>]

Hallo *,

Some weeks ago I asked a question about my problem with not functional
menu shortcuts. Now I had the time to write a little test program. Using
the mouse to select File|Open or pressing Alt + F and then O outputs
"Hello" but pressing Ctrl+O does not! Has anyone an idea why?

Thank you!

Tobias


main.cpp:

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <libglademm.h>
#include <iostream>

class CMyWindow : public Gtk::Window
{
  public:
    CMyWindow() : Gtk::Window()
    {
      Glib::RefPtr<Gnome::Glade::Xml> refXMLInterface =
Gnome::Glade::Xml::create("windowMain.glade");
      refXMLInterface->reparent_widget("vboxMain", *this);
      refXMLInterface->get_widget("menuitemFileOpen", m_pwMenuItemOpen);
      m_pwMenuItemOpen->signal_activate().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&CMyWindow::on_MainMenuOpen_activate));
      show_all_children();
    }
  protected:
    Gtk::MenuItem *m_pwMenuItemOpen;
    void on_MainMenuOpen_activate()
    {
      std::cout << "hello\n";
    }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  Gtk::Main m(argc, argv);

  CMyWindow oMyWindow;
  Gtk::Main::run(oMyWindow);

  return 0;
}
