it's true.

No problems until this point. So somebody sent the following e-mail to the respective mail list: >In my app , I would like to share some specific >> menuItems between all the registered pageviews.

Is there a way to juggle this situation >>?! How can I share menuItem between different page_views ?! ANSWER from the list : Make an item with the same name to all the menus, and connect the same callback to both/all of them. This is the only way to do this currently, in the future you can do it with *GtkUIManager* magic, but that's in the future... :( so , there is no 'gtk_ui_manager_get_ui' available. I have try found out another way ... ps2: Thanks again Tristan. -- Antonio Gomes _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
