<br>> seems that I can't re-assign it to the GtkMenu built in in my HildonAppView.<br>> That's what I do:<br>><br>> mainmenu = hildon_appview_get_menu (HILDON_APPVIEW (window));<br>> gtk_menu_append (mainmenu, GTK_MENU (gtk_ui_manager_get_widget (ui,
<br>> "/MenuBar/FileMenu")));<br><br>The File menu is inside the MenuBar when you get_widget() it, which<br>means it has a parent already, thus the error:<br><br>> GLIB WARNING ** Gtk - Can't set a parent on widget which has a parent
<br><br>You could try with gtk_widget_reparent(), but I don't know how it will<br>affect the ui manager finding it's widgets (and thus working).</blockquote><div><br>

I'll give it a try, thanks a lot!<br>

, it seems that ui_manager<br>> method to build menu is supported, but it's not explained hot to get it to<br>> work!<br><br>Where does it state that? Didn't find a reference to it in the<br>development Howto at least...

"Two different GTK+ ways to create menu are supported, making them
manually and using GtkUIManager. GtkUIManager is new action-based
method to create menus and toolbars from an XML description. This
tutorial uses only manual creation for both, you can read more about
GtkUIManager from: <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkUIManager.html">http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkUIManager.html</a>" <br>

Or maybe I've misread this ;-)<br>

<br>and I won't even try to guess when they'll be in the product images...<br><br>> P.S.: adding toolbars created with this very same method works pretty well!<br><br>That's different, you're just packing the toolbar somewhere instead of
<br>replacing it as is the case with the menubar.<br><br>Some wacky hacker has[1] noted that since the menu happens to be the<br>first element in the _private_ structure of hildonappview, you can<br>actually hack your own widget there and the appview won't know the
<br>difference, but that hack is so gruesom that I won't even try to<br>reconstruct it here ;)<br><br>[1] Hi, Mr. Vire :)<br><br>--<br>Kalle Vahlman, <a href="mailto:zuh@iki.fi">zuh@iki.fi</a><br>Powered by <a href="http://movial.fi">
