Question

With Python 2.7 on Linux.

I’m creating MenuItem objects from a list of strings. I am setting the bitmap using wx.MenuItem.SetBitmap(), but the images are not showing on the popup menu.

This is my method on creating the PopupMenu:

    def CreatePopupMenu(self, list):
          self.menu = wxMenu()
          i = 0
          substring = self.GetLastWord()
          for tableName in list:
                if tableName.startswith(substring):
                item = wx.MenuItem(self.menu, i, tableName)
                item.SetBitmap(wx.Bitmap('a.png'))
                self.menu.AppendItem(item)
                i += 1
                pos = self._Editor.PointFromPosition(self._Editor.GetCurrentPos())
                pos.x += self._Editor.GetFont().GetPixelSize().width
                pos.y += self._Editor.GetFont().GetPixelSize().height
                self.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, self.OnPopupItemSelected, item)

          if self.menu.GetMenuItemCount() > 0:
                #menuItem = self.menu.FindItemById(0)
                self.PopupMenu(self.menu, pos)
          self.menu.Destroy()

Kind awkward, but I found the answer to my own question. The problem is not language specific but a matter of gnome’ settings.

Apparently Gnome defaults to not enabling icons on menu items…

Found it here.

Thank you all!
