  • How to associate a simple menu with a window in GtkAda

    From andrew.shvets@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 30 22:37:58 2022
    I'm trying to create a small menu that will show up at the top of a window. The problem that I'm encountering is that I'm not clear on how to make that association and have had a hard time trying to find this specific example. This is the code that I
    have so far:

    1. Always post complete code.

    2. Never call Initialize on objects created Gtk_New or equivalent.

    3. GtkAda examples contains a sample code for menus.

    I agree that it's hard to find readable examples. I have a an Ada GUI program on Github using GtkAda: https://github.com/SMerrony/dashera

    I'm not holding up as great code, but take a look at Src/gui.adb - starting maybe woth the Create_Window procedure, then Create_Menu_Bar which adds the menu and associates its items to their procedures.

    Hope that helps a little.

    Because Gtk_New calls to Initialize internally. Basically

    Gtk_New = allocator new + Initialize
