Hi all,

I have a application wish load plugin into it, the plugin when "button-press-event" is received they call a function of the main window and then the main window should popup a menu, but it doesn't, i have to click very fast on the plugin many times in order for the menu to be shown.

i call gtk_menu_popup like that

gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(menu),NULL,NULL,
NULL,NULL,0,GDK_CURRENT_TIME);

or like this

gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(menu),NULL,NULL,
NULL,NULL,0,gtk_get_current_event_time());

Any help please.

Best Regards.

if it's in response to a button-press-event, try doing this:

Code:

gboolean button_press_cb(GtkWidget *wi, GdkEventButton *ev, gpointer data)
{
    /* ...initialize menu... */
    gtk_menu_popup(GTK_MENU(menu), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, ev->button, ev->time);
    return TRUE; /* this will stop the event, have it return FALSE to allow the click to go further */
}

the key difference here is that ev->time is used.
quoting from http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stab ... menu-popup

Quote:

The activate_time parameter is used to conflict-resolve initiation of concurrent requests for mouse/keyboard grab requests. To function properly, this needs to be the time stamp of the user event (such as a mouse click or key press) that caused the initiation of the popup. Only if no such event is available, gtk_get_current_event_time() can be used instead.

Thanks for the reply, actually i did that already and seems to be working fine, but i thought that passing gtk_get_current_event_time was enought.
