Question

I am trying to apply custom menu to tab pages on my notebook control. I need to be able to select certain specific action for the entire page and i figured the tab label would be the best place to start.

So, i created a EventBox, applied Label as its child, and bound event callbacks to button-pressed-event and it… works.. kindof.

What i get is two menus: one is the one I create, and on top of it – the one created by GTK Notebook. to select something from my custom menu i need to escape the notebook menu first, and i certainly don’t like it.

so the question is: how do I disable gtk notebook menus? or how can i set my own, custom menu, with my own, custom callbacks? I don’t want to list all the available tab pages in the menu – it’s introducing too much noise, so adding menu labels to the existing menu is not really the way to go.

thanks bunches

GtkNotebook should only show the tab selector if enable-popup is true. It defaults to false, so you’ve probably enabled it by mistake.
