Description Jeroen Zwartepoorte 2003-11-26 08:16:45 UTC 
It's common in modern applications that the description of an action
(tooltip text in GtkActionEntry) be shown in the statusbar when browsing
the menus. Currently, GtkUIManager does not support a statusbar and this
particular feature. What's the correct way to implement this?
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2003-11-26 08:23:40 UTC 
You can use the connect-proxy signal to implement this, but its not 
too nice. I'd expect that the appwindow widget will hide this. Look at 


testmerge.c for an example.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2003-11-26 09:03:19 UTC 
Leaving this open to deal with documenting how to do it manually in 


the meantime, e.g. by moving the testmerge code to gtk-demo and/or 


adding it as an example to the connect-proxy signal documentation.

Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2004-02-02 09:01:25 UTC 
Moving docs bugs off the --- milestone.
Comment 5 Jeroen Zwartepoorte 2005-12-18 13:59:17 UTC 
Can we close this, or are there things left to do like documentation? Afaik there are no technical issues left.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2006-01-08 05:44:06 UTC 
Needs documentation
