Hello again,
I don't know if this functionality already exists in GTK+ 1.1 and I just
can't find it. If it doesn't, it might be something to consider for
future releases. What I want to do specifically is attach an accelerator
key to a widget BUT have the accelerator underscore (you know how _F_ile
is underscored on the menu's of M$ apps) actually appear on a label right
next to the widget. I am trying to have a combo box in a CD player app
with a label next to it that says "Artist". I want the letter "A" of
"Artist" to be underscored, but I want the actual accelerator to be
attached to the combo box next to it, as I believe you can do in Win32.
My motivation for doing this is that I want to make a clone of the Win95
CD Player which is laid out just like this. I think it would be really
neat if you could attach accelerators like this.
Also, if anyone has any insights on the question I had earlier about
setting the font and background of GtkEntries (or any widget, for that
matter), I would greatly appreciate your advice there too.
Gtk Newbie,
shane
