Hello,
@zigbert
... Thanks for this very useful code lines.
Question:
I tried many combinations but didn't succeed in making variables working in the script!
)
What is the right way to replace "Set theme"
(and so on...) with variables ($VARIABLE)
(calling, for example, translated words of a localization *.mo file?)
VARIABLE="Changer le thème"
external_menu(){
OUTPUT="`gtkdialog_menu "gtk-apply,=>?$VARIABLE" "gtk-convert,Show JWM_switcher" "seperator" "gtk-quit,Quit"`"
case $OUTPUT in
=>?$VARIABLE)
cp -f /root/.jwm/themes/${JWM_THEME}-jwmrc /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme
cp -f /root/.jwm/themes/${JWM_THEME}-colors /root/.jwm/jwm_colors
jwm -restart
;;
'Show JWM_switcher')
/usr/local/jwmconfig2/theme_switcher
;;
'Quit')
for I in `ps | grep -w "MAIN_DIALOG" | awk '{print $1}'`; do kill -9 $I; done
exit 0
;;
esac
Thank you a lot for your attention.
Regards.

Of course, but right now, I don't have much time......
It is a much better solution if you can hardcode the right-click-menu instead of using this code. Pmusic does it, and you'll find the code from line 126 in /usr/local/pmusic/func. This way you have full control and it will act faster. Also the code in Pmusic is better ... in the way that it uses the new features in the latest gtkdialog.

Hello zigbert,
Of course, but right now, I don't have much time......
Sorry to be so impatient!

That's OK! I will have a look and try to "hardcode"
(though this "simple" code was working so well!) 
...
Thank you.
Best regards.

Hello,
I guess I was a bit left wanting more. All the same, I would have liked to know if there is a way to set these variables for them to work properly inside this script: I missed here a good occasion to learn something I probably will encounter later elsewhere....
Cordialement.

Hello,
I found what was going wrong, with the original script... as well as with the part of the script of pmusic I finally adapted for mine:
$OUTPUT variables calling more than one word won't work!!! 
I thought this should help!
Now all is right.
Cordialement.
please help

Not solved
Actually when I exchange focus-out-event with leave-notify-event which I thought
worked I cannot select a menu item, the event is fired as soon as mouse leaves current widget and enters another label or icon
any input
------------- WORKS == SOLVED ------------------------------------------------------------
also I hacked in a parameter to be able to set wanted stock-icon-size
defaults to 1, I use 5 for icons and labels to line up nicely
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm using
Code: Select all
> gtkdialog --version
gtkdialog version 0.8.4 release (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011-2012 Thunor
Built with support for: GTK+ 3.
I'm on alphaOS
I tried this and it works however I don't seem to get the
focus out event so right-click menu doesn't exit of I move mousepointer
out of pop-up menu
Code: Select all
<action signal="focus-out-event">EXIT:exit</action>
any input on this?
doesn't it work with gtk3?
also icons don't line up with labels

This thread is really old, and codelines has changed since 2011.... Sorry about that.
pMusic uses many right-click menus, so if you can right-click on a track in the playqueue, you know it can work for you.
The menu-code is found in /usr/local/pmusic/menu_playqueue
