GtkCheckMenuItem needs double click?
Using glade with GtkBuilder to create my application GUI. I'm developing testing on Windows 7 using Microsoft C++. Trying to add a record button to my menu bar. Note: Ideally I would have liked a nice red record button that lights up while my application is recording, however just to get it working I put in GtkCheckMenuItem. It is all working but inexplicably I have to click my GtkCheckMenuItem *twice* to for each toggle. Is this a known common mistake? Any advice or reference to previous thread on the subject would be appreciated.

It may be that to activate the button the menu item must get focus first, hence the two clicks. My advice is to use a toolbar instead. It seems to fit what you are trying to do better and you can have tool items that act like plain buttons, toggles, radio button, that pop up menus, etc. Yeti ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
Re: GtkCheckMenuItem needs double click?
Thanks for confirming this is the way it actually behaves! I failed to put a check box on a tool bar but I could create a toggle button and I can also add menus to the tool bar so that does indeed do what I want :^) There are quite few other peculiarities, e.g. text beside the icons doesn't display, but below them does. Could it be version incompatibility in the tools I'm using?
