Pygtk: dynamic menu

[micmast]

Hey everybody,

I have a question, I'm building an application in which a popup menu has to be generated on the fly depending of the data being read from an xml file.

The first part is very simple and I have the items in an array and now I want to add them to an existing menu.


Some variables I use just so it all makes sense.
popup_left_menu_plugin: menuitem in a popup in which the other items should be placed
popup_menu_plugins: is an array that will hold the menuitems
tool_command: is a dictionary with the items to be added

for tool in tool_command.keys():
            if str(len(tool)) != "0":
                self.popup_menu_plugins.append(gtk.MenuItem(tool))
 
for tools in self.popup_menu_plugins:
            self.popup_left_menu_plugin.set_submenu(tools)
 
 

But that doesn't work, hence my question: how to fix this?

Thx in advance

I always seem to be fixing my own threads :)

Anyway here is the fix that solves the problem
I used the .append to append the menuitem to the menu instead of another menuitem, and then I used the .show to actually show the item...

*Sigh*

micmast,

Sometimes describing a problem to others is enough to make a solution clearer. Thanks for the update.
