Hi,
Much more than the subject, I cannot explain well, so I'll let the code
do the talking:
<code>
self.accel_group = gtk.AccelGroup()
self.main_window.add_accel_group(self.accel_group)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Edit/Undo", gtk.keysyms.z,
gdk.CONTROL_MASK)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Edit/Search", gtk.keysyms.F3, 0)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Navigation/Up",
gtk.keysyms.Up, gdk.CONTROL_MASK)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Navigation/Down",
gtk.keysyms.Down, gdk.CONTROL_MASK)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Navigation/PgUp",
gtk.keysyms.Page_Up, gdk.CONTROL_MASK)
gtk.accel_map_add_entry("<Virtaal>/Navigation/PgDown",
gtk.keysyms.Page_Down, gdk.CONTROL_MASK)
self.accel_group.connect_by_path("<Virtaal>/Edit/Undo",
self._on_undo)
self.accel_group.connect_by_path("<Virtaal>/Edit/Search",
self._on_search)
</code>
This, in its own, works fine, but then I added "Edit" and "Navigation"
menu's via Glade and added the following code directly below the block
above (self.gui is the Glade.XML object):
<code>
# gtk.Menu's:
self.gui.get_widget('menu_edit').set_accel_group(self.accel_group)
self.gui.get_widget('menu_navigation').set_accel_group(self.accel_group)
# gtk.MenuItems:
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_undo').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Edit/Undo")
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_search').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Edit/Search")
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_up').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Navigation/Up")
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_down').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Navigation/Down")
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_page_up').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Navigation/PgUp")
self.gui.get_widget('mnu_page_down').set_accel_path("<Virtaal>/Navigation/PgDown")
</code>
The accelerators still work, but the menu items, once activated, does
nothing, even though the correct keyboard shortcuts are displayed in the
menu's. I realize that only "Undo" and "Search" have handlers defined in
the given snippets, but even they do not work.
I guess my question is how to use the already-connected accelerator
handlers (self._on_undo and self._on_search) when the related menu item
is activated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
