Making a Python/GTK CheckMenuItem, when clicked, not close the menu
gtk, menu, pygtk, python
Solution
I see the problem here, the `"activate"` signal does not allow you to return a boolean as to whether you wish the signal to propagate onwards. It sounds like you may need to poke around the gtk.CheckMenuItem internals, fire a signal that "reopens" the menu at the current position to be processed immediately after the `"activate"` signal has closed down the menu, or try the mailing list.
It's probably worth noting this is more of a GTK+ question than a PyGTK, as I believe the PyGTK API reflects the GTK+ one closely on this issue.
Problem
Using Python and PyGTK I've got a GtkMenu with various GtkCheckMenuItems in it. When the user clicks one of the checkboxes the menu closes. I'd like for the user to be able to check a series of checkboxes without the menu closing each time. I've looked at using the activate callback to show the menu but this doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?
