Gtkmm: Right click menus?

[fallenshadow]

Hi all,

I have been working on getting my right click menu to work recently. Documentation seems sparse on this... but this is what I have so far:


bool mainWindow::on_button_press_event(GdkEventButton* event)
{

if( (event->type == GDK_BUTTON_PRESS) && (event->button == 3) )
{
Gtk::Menu *m_Menu_Popup = new Gtk::Menu();
Gtk::MenuItem *pItem = new Gtk::MenuItem("item1");
Gtk::MenuItem *pItem2 = new Gtk::MenuItem("item2");
m_Menu_Popup->add(*pItem);
m_Menu_Popup->add(*pItem2);
m_Menu_Popup->show_all();
m_Menu_Popup->popup(event->button, event->time);
return true; //It has been handled.
}
else
return false;
}

I also have these declared above:



protected:
bool on_button_press_event(GdkEventButton* event);

private:
Gtk::Menu* m_Menu_Popup;


Anyone ever worked with these?

In your function:
bool mainWindow::on_button_press_event(GdkEventButton* event)

You declare a LOCAL variable: m_Menu_Popup, which you initialise, add menu items etc.

You also have a CLASS variable with the same name.

You haven't mentioned what your problem is, or what is going wrong, so I don't know how to help you. I just noticed the issue described above.

Ok I got rid of the class variable.

Well to put it simply, it doesn't work. The code compiles but no menu pops up when I right click.
