TkMenubar + Keyboard Shortcut

ruby-talk

On windows version of Tcl/Tk, it seems that menubutton bindings
which expected on TkMenubar class don't work properly.
But 'menu' option of root/toplevel widget looks like working.
Please try to use the 'menu' option.

e.g.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
menubar = TkMenu.new(Tk.root)

Tk.root[:menu] = menubar # use 'menu' option

mfile = TkMenu.new(menubar, :tearoff=>false)
medit = TkMenu.new(menubar, :tearoff=>false)

menubar.add(:cascade, :menu=>mfile, :label=>'File',
:underline=>0) menubar.add(:cascade, :menu=>medit,
:label=>'Edit', :underline=>0)

mfile.add(:command, :label=>'Open', :underline=>0,
:command=>proc{p 'Open'}) mfile.add(:command, :label=>'Quit',
:underline=>0, :command=>proc{exit})

medit.add(:command, :label=>'Copy', :underline=>0,
:command=>proc{p 'Copy'}) medit.add(:command,
:label=>'Paste', :underline=>0, :command=>proc{p 'Paste'})

txt = TkText.new.pack

Tk.mainloop

Ah, that works. But I like the your new option of using menu_spec :slight_smile:
Will wait for the fix in windows... Thank you.

Ah, that works. But I like the your new option of using menu_spec :slight_smile:

I'm ready to commit new methods for TkRoot and TkToplevel. :slight_smile:
I'll commit them when the CVS server will be available.
Then, you'll be able to use menu_spec such like the following sample.
-----------------------------------------------------
#
# menubar sample 2 : use 'menu' option of root/toplevel widget
#

require 'tk'

radio_var = TkVariable.new('y')

menu_spec = [
  [['File', 0],
    {:label=>'Open', :command=>proc{puts('Open clicked')}, :underline=>0},
    '---',
    ['Check_A', TkVariable.new(true), 6],
    {:type=>'checkbutton', :label=>'Check_B',
                :variable=>TkVariable.new, :underline=>6},
    '---',
    ['Radio_X', [radio_var, 'x'], 6],
    ['Radio_Y', [radio_var, 'y'], 6],
    ['Radio_Z', [radio_var, 'z'], 6],
    '---',
    ['cascade', [
                   ['sss', proc{p 'sss'}, 0],
                   ['ttt', proc{p 'ttt'}, 0],
                   ['uuu', proc{p 'uuu'}, 0],
                   ['vvv', proc{p 'vvv'}, 0],
                ], 0],
    '---',
    ['Quit', proc{exit}, 0]],
  [['Edit', 0],
    ['Cut', proc{puts('Cut clicked')}, 2],
    ['Copy', proc{puts('Copy clicked')}, 0],
    ['Paste', proc{puts('Paste clicked')}, 0]],
  [['Help', 0, {:menu_name=>'help'}],
    ['About This', proc{puts('Ruby/Tk menubar sample 2')}, 6]]
]

mbar = Tk.root.add_menubar(menu_spec)
mbar.configure('foreground'=>'grey40', 'activeforeground'=>'red',
         'font'=>'Helvetia 12 bold')

TkText.new.pack
Tk.mainloop
