Question

In my Python application I have some GtkMenuItems (associated with the main GtkMenuBar), and some GtkMenuToolButtons inside my GtkToolbar.

- gtkMenuBar1
   - gtkMenuItem1
      - gtkMenuItem2
      - gtkMenuItem3
- gtkToolbar1
   - gtkMenuToolButton1

By default, gtkMenuToolButton1 is obviously empty. I want to do something like

self.ui.gtkMenuToolButton1.set_menu(self.ui.gtkMenuItem1)

But if I do that (inside finish_initializing() of my window), nothing changes. I’m new to Python and Gtk3. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You have to add a Gtk.Menu object to the menu tool button, not a Gtk.MenuItem.
