I'm trying to put custom content in GtkMenus... things like menu items, date picker controls, lists and so on. These are all custom widgets that I can't rewrite (easily). It seems that GtkMenus are very limited in what they can display, just GtkMenuItems right? If I wrap my controls in GtkMenuItems it looks pretty weird, the item has all this padding around it. If I try and attach the custom control directly to the GtkMenu it doesn't recognise it at all. Fair enuf... I guess. Although it'd be nice if it just wrapped whatever you stick in it.
I also tried wrapping my controls in GtkWindows which was quite frustrating. If I choose GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL I can give the child controls the focus (which is good), and detect when the control loses focus so I can close the window. That works fine when I launch it from another GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL, but if I launch it from a GtkDialog thats a transient for a GtkWindow the window doesn't appear, doesn't get focus. If I make it a transient for the GtkDialog, then it doesn't process it's events and things just hang up and go nowhere. If I use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP then I can't give the controls focus (bad!) and I can't detect when the user clicks away from the control (so I can't close it at the right moment). I would just use GtkMenu + GtkMenuItems, but for things like a date picker that doesn't work. Maybe one of you could point me in the right direction?
