I am running into incredible frustration (as a GTK newbie) trying to use GtkAction's. This is in Redhat Linux, using GTK 2.4.13. The application is meant to be portable to Windows XP (where it will be compiled with GTK 2.6).
For administrative reasons, Linux/GTK 2.4 is fixed as our development environment. If this is a 2.4 bug that is addressed in 2.6, that would be more or less OK for the time being, but I'd prefer a workaround if possible. We have an application layout created with Glade, so there are a bunch of toolbar icons and menu items predefined with labels, icons, etc. I am trying to define actions and attach them to menuitem/toolbar icon pairs so that they can be manipulated (made sensitive or not) together. This works great for stock menuitems with stock icons. Not so great with most of our menuitems, which use stock icons but non-standard labels. I have two choices when I call gtk_action_new followed by gtk_action_connect_proxy: 1. Use a NULL stock_id argument. GTK complains with the following errors: Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkstock.c: line 145 (gtk_stock_lookup): assertion `stock_id != NULL'failed Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtklabel.c: line 1018 (gtk_label_set_label): assertion `str != NULL' failed and the icon that was there gets deleted from my menuitem. or 2. Use a non-NULL stock_id argument, and then my *label* gets deleted from my menuitem and replaced with the stock label. I'm guessing that there must be some low-level way to attach the proxy while preserving existing image and label, but I haven't figured it out yet. I tried this: icon = gtk_image_menu_item_get_image( btn ); gtk_action_connect_proxy( action, btn ); if (!stock_id) gtk_image_menu_item_set_image( btn, icon ); but that did not succeed in restoring the icon, i.e., I get a menuitem with no icon.
