Hi All, This question is pretty trivial, but I have been unable to find a solution to this and hence I am posting it here, hoping to get a solution frmo anyone of you. The scenario is this, I have a list of Names to be displayed in the GTK OPTION MENU. Now, the list of names is static. When the user re-opens the dialog, I want the OPTION MENU to show the last selected name, instead of the first name in the list. I am storing the name in some structure. Is there any way to do it? Or i need to draw the OPTION MENU with the selected name as the first list member( I want to avoid this because they are in aphabetical order). For eg. Say the names are Albert<----- Charlie John Nathan And the user selects John, then when he reopens the dialog he should see Albert Charlie John<------ Nathan In between the 2 calls, the windows is destroyed. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Mohit _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
