Hi, In my key-press event handler attached to a menu, I need to know what menu-item is current, focussed or highlighted so to say. Asking for gtk_menu_get_active () seems to always returns the first menuitem in this case; I assume because no menu item has been activated/selected yet. I'm not sure what the correct gtk+ jargon for this state current/focused/selected/highlighted is, I find the api documentation somewhat vague gtk_menu_get_active () GtkWidget* gtk_menu_get_active (GtkMenu *menu); Returns the selected menu item from the menu. Why would _active () return the 'selected' item? I'd expect _selected () to return 'selected' item, and _active () to return the 'active' item. Returns : the GtkMenuItem that was last selected in the menu. If a selection has not yet been made, the first menu item is selected. Also, I assume that `the first menu item is SELECTED' should read: the first menu item is RETURNED?
