Menu Item Sensitivity

Hey. I am trying to get the sensitivity of a menu to change depending on the focus of a text view. I keep getting an error:

Code:

GTK_IS_WIDGET(widget) failed

I have a signal called on_textview_debug_focus_in_event that runs this:

Code:

void
on_textview_debug_focus_out_event(GtkWidget *widget, HostsEditor *editor)
{
   gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GTK_WIDGET(editor->mnu_edit_copy), FALSE);
   gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GTK_WIDGET(editor->mnu_edit_paste), FALSE);
   gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GTK_WIDGET(editor->mnu_edit_cut), FALSE);
   gtk_widget_set_sensitive(GTK_WIDGET(editor->mnu_edit_delete), FALSE);
}

I am pretty stuck with this one. It doesn't matter if I change it from GtkWidget to GtkImageMenuItem etc I keep getting the same results.

Thanks for any help.

Hello and welcome to the GTK+ forums!

If I'm not mistaken, you have your signal handler connected to GtkWidget::focus-in-event, in which case your function has a bad header. As you can see from the docs I linked to, your function prototype should look something like this:

Code:

static gboolean
on_textview_debug_focus_out_event (GtkWidget   *widget,
                                   GdkEvent    *event,
                                   HostsEditor *editor)

Try changing this and I'm almost sure things will work as expected.

Cheers,
Tadej

Thanks Tadej. Worked a treat. Can't believe I didn't spot that in the docs, sorry!
