OK, gtk_widget_set_sensitive () will do it. But I wonder how to do it for menu items that change sensitively often, for example COPY menu item. I can set it sensitive whenever something is selected in my application, for example a word in a text editor, and make it insensitive if nothing is selected. Of course this generates much noise. May it be better, and is it possible to do that on the fly, when the pulldown menu pops on? Maybe a signal which is emitted before the item becomes visible? Can not find something like that unfortunately. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
