Description

GtkMenu is a menushell widget, designed to exclusively hold GtkMenuItems. It may be a standalone popup widget, or may be associated either with a higher-level GtkMenuItem within a GtkMenuBar, or with a GtkOptionMenu.

Note that a GtkMenu in any form is effectively a modal popup widget. There are keybindings in place here specifically to counteract this apparent isolation, by allowing the Up, Down, Left and Right arrow keys to navigate multiple menus with regard to the relationships between those menus (i.e. parent and child, next and previous). These are fairly rudimentary in the current version of GTK+ used in PHP-GTK, but have been improved recently.

See also: GtkCombo, GtkCTree, GtkItemFactory, GtkList, GtkRadioButton, GtkToolbar.
