Re: Which signal is emitted when the arrow in GtkComboBoxEntry() is pressed?

[Jan-Marek Glogowski <glogow@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Egon

This is a hack, but I it should work:

static void combo_toggle_func( GtkToggleButton
	*togglebutton, gpointer user_data )
{
	// Do your "menu" stuff
}

static void scan_children( GtkWidget *w,  gpointer data )
{
	if( GTK_IS_TOGGLE_BUTTON( w ) ) {
		g_print( "Found Button!\n" );
		g_signal_connect( w, "toggled",
			G_CALLBACK( combo_toggle_func ), NULL );
	}
}

gtk_container_forall( GTK_CONTAINER( my_combo ), scan_children, NULL );

I have also attached a patch to add a popup event (diff against v2.5.5).
Maybe you can try it and report results to the list, so it could be
included in the 2.6 release.

HTH
