Fwd: Menu popup

["Mickael Drean" <mickael drean gmail com>]

In fact, I just see this function :

Gtk::MenuItem::MenuItem

(

Widget&

widget

)

Maybe I can use it to create what I want.

This time I understand what you mean.  This is the kind of thing one
would see when opening a ComboBox that is too big for the screen - it's
automatically resized and gets these scrolling arrows at the top and
bottom.

To force it to be a certain size and have the scrolling arrows, I think
you would have to hack the GtkMenu class itself, and add this
functionality.

However, I would suggest that you rethink your user interface is there
not some way you could categorise the options, so that the user
navigates a tree instead of having to choose from such a big flat list?

Alternatively, the closest easy thing to what you're asking for would
just be to pop up a dialog with a TreeView+ListStore in it.

Hope to help,
