Python GUI Development with GTK+ 3 - Tutorial 14 - Menus

[christopherhorn]

I liked that they had the menus up top like that. It was good for netbooks.

The signal from selecting a menu item is: "activate". So you can connect it to a menu item in the tutorial like this:
file_exit.connect("activate", self.handle_menu_exit)

And the function to handle that click:

def handle_menu_exit(self, data):
print "Good bye cruel world!"
Gtk.main_quit()

This is nice informative video tutorial in Python GUI Development

[harryrigg]

You still make videos? Shit. I remember you from 5 years ago.

[MarcelRobitaille]

you should try ubuntu mate or Linux mint

[daniellewis]

I wish there were still tutorials for GTK in python. Everywhere I look the API is incomplete and expressed in C without explaining what any of the parameters are.

My thoughts exactly about those Ubuntu menus! :q They have my vote for the dumbest UI design of the decade.
Not only it slows you down (because you can't target your mouse toward a particular menu item – you have to position your mouse over the title bar _first_ and then wait until the menu appears), but also makes it harder to move windows around by holding them by their title bars. The disconectedness of the menu bar from the application it belongs to is whole another level of broken usability. I think the only thing they could do to make it even less usable is to randomly jitter/repositoon those menu items whenever you try to click them ;q (but maybe let's not give them ideas... :s ).

This works for me


from gi.repository import Gtk


class MenuWindow(Gtk.Window):


def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="")

self.set_border_width(10)
self.set_default_size(500, 400)


header_bar = Gtk.HeaderBar()

header_bar.props.title = "Rippin Music Player"
self.set_titlebar(header_bar)
box =


main_menu_bar = Gtk.MenuBar()
box.add(main_menu_bar)


# Drop down menu
file_menu = Gtk.Menu()
file_menu_dropdown = Gtk.MenuItem("File")


file_new = Gtk.MenuItem("New")
file_open = Gtk.MenuItem("Open")
file_exit = Gtk.MenuItem("Exit")





file_menu.append(file_new)
file_menu.append(file_open)

file_menu.append(file_exit)



header_bar.pack_start(box)


window = MenuWindow()
window.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
window.show_all()
Gtk.main()

Nice series, thanks a lot ; Hey would you know how to pop open this menu (or any Gtk menu) on right click? I get the signal "button-3" from the eventBox, but menu.show() does nothing, do you know what I am missing?
