Class GTK2.Menu

Description

A GTK2.Menu is a W(MenuShell) that implements a drop down menu consisting of a list of W(MenuItem) objects which can be navigated and activated by the user to perform application functions.

A GTK2.Menu is most commonly dropped down by activating a W(MenuItem) in a W(MenuBar) or popped up by activating a W(MenuItem) in another GTK2.Menu.

A GTK2.Menu can also be popped up by activating a W(OptionMenu). Other composite widgets such as the W(Notebook) can pop up a GTK2.Menu as well.

Applications can display a GTK2.Menu as a popup menu by calling the popup() function. The example below shows how an application can pop up a menu when the 3rd mouse button is pressed.

   GTK2.Menu menu = create_menu();
   GTK2.Window window = create_window();
   window->signal_connect( "button_press_event", lambda(GTK2.Menu m,
                                                        GTK2.Window w,
                                                        mapping e ) {
             if( e->button == 3 )
              menu->popup();
          }, menu );
