I copied the code in this site(https://sites.google.com/site/gtkdtutorial/#chapter2_2) and compiled it by dmd2.
import gtk.MainWindow;
import gtk.Box;
import gtk.Main;
import gtk.Menu;
import gtk.MenuBar;
import gtk.MenuItem;
import gtk.Widget;
import gdk.Event;
void main(string[] args)
{
Main.init(args);
MainWindow win = new MainWindow("MenuBar Example");
win.setDefaultSize(250, 200);
MenuBar menuBar = new MenuBar();
menuBar.append(new FileMenuItem());
Box box = new Box(Orientation.VERTICAL, 10);
box.packStart(menuBar, false, false, 0);
win.add(box);
win.showAll();
Main.run();
}
class FileMenuItem : MenuItem
{
Menu fileMenu;
MenuItem exitMenuItem;
this()
{
super("File");
fileMenu = new Menu();
exitMenuItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
exitMenuItem.addOnButtonRelease(&exit);
fileMenu.append(exitMenuItem);
setSubmenu(fileMenu);
}
bool exit(Event event, Widget widget)
{
Main.quit();
return true;
}
}
The window was correctly shown but it doesn't die when I click [Exit] MenuItem. I'm confused. Any ideas?
Environment: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
button-release-event
(addOnButtonRelease()
in GtkD) is the wrong signal to connect to for GtkMenuItem. It's a low-level GDK event; that is, an abstraction over the raw event produced by the window system when the user lets go of a mouse button. It's intended for custom event handling, like if you were using a GtkDrawingArea.
Instead, you want the activate
signal (addOnActivate()
in GtkD).
