help on child menus (Re: MDI Child menus don't show.)

[mclos000 correu udg es]

Thanks Jaka, I tried it, but I only can say that I don't wrote the
function you say, so the breakpoint only tells me that the function
don't executes the piece of the code creating the menu because
menu =! NULL is FALSE or something else, I don't remember. So I cleaned
my hard disk, I reinstalled Debian 2.1, I recompiled all libraries and
gnome sources, and STILL HAPPENS... :(.
I have written a very small problem to isolate the problem. I would
appreciate very much is someone can compile and execute it and tell what
happens.
After compiling the program, I execute it and a window containing a mdi child
appers, also, the "File" menu and the "child" menu, but, the problem is that
the child is not listed in the child menu, and neither the menu associated to it.
Please, tell me if something is wrong!
Thanks in advance.
Here is the program:
(compile with gcc `gnome-config --cflags gnomeui` `gnome-config --libs gnomeui`
child_menu_test.c
---begin child_menu_test.c---
#include <gnome.h>
/* Menu definitions */
static GnomeUIInfo file_menu[]= {
{ 
GNOME_APP_UI_ITEM,
N_("Exit"), N_("Exit ..."),
NULL, NULL, NULL,
GNOME_APP_PIXMAP_STOCK, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_QUIT,
'Q', GDK_CONTROL_MASK, NULL
},
GNOMEUIINFO_END
};
GnomeUIInfo empty_menu[] = {
{ GNOME_APP_UI_ENDOFINFO }
};
static GnomeUIInfo main_menu[]= 
{
GNOMEUIINFO_SUBTREE(N_("File"), file_menu),
GNOMEUIINFO_SUBTREE(N_("Children"), empty_menu),
GNOMEUIINFO_END
};
/*Child Menu*/
GnomeUIInfo commands_menu[]= {
{
GNOME_APP_UI_ITEM,
N_("New"), N_("New ..."),
NULL, NULL, NULL,
GNOME_APP_PIXMAP_STOCK, GNOME_STOCK_MENU_NEW,
0, (GdkModifierType)0, NULL
},
GNOMEUIINFO_END
};
/*Main Child Menu*/
GnomeUIInfo main_child_menu[] = {
GNOMEUIINFO_SUBTREE(N_("Commands"), commands_menu),
GNOMEUIINFO_END
};
GtkWidget *make_view(GnomeMDIChild *child, gpointer data)
{
GtkWidget *label;
label = gtk_label_new("This works!");
return label;
}
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
GnomeMDI *mdi;
GnomeMDIGenericChild *child;
GnomeClient *client;
gnome_init ("control", 0, argc, argv);
client = gnome_master_client ();
mdi = GNOME_MDI(gnome_mdi_new("gdc", "GDC"));
gnome_mdi_set_menubar_template(mdi, main_menu);
gnome_mdi_set_child_menu_path(mdi, _("File"));
gnome_mdi_set_child_list_path(mdi, _("Children/"));
gnome_mdi_open_toplevel(mdi);
child = gnome_mdi_generic_child_new("Batch");
gnome_mdi_child_set_menu_template(GNOME_MDI_CHILD(child),
main_child_menu);
gnome_mdi_generic_child_set_view_creator(child, make_view, NULL);
gnome_mdi_add_child(mdi, GNOME_MDI_CHILD(child));
gnome_mdi_add_view(mdi, GNOME_MDI_CHILD(child));
gtk_main();	
}
---end child_menu_test.c---
