Fixed GMenu?

Fixed GMenu?

Hello,

I am currently adding a GMenu.menu_bar to a vbox within a window. The
problem is that when I resize the window the menu bar also resizes
proportionately. Is there a way of fixing the height so that it doesn't
resize when the window resizes?

Many thanks in advance

I do this a little differently - and don't have your problem.  I use 
add_ui_from_string on a "UI manager" instance (from GAction.ui_manager 
()), since building up a menu bar and dropdowns seemed easier this way.

Then I build up an hbox with the resulting menu widget and a couple of 
other controls and pack *that* into the vbox, followed by the rest of 
my window contents and status bar widget.

In any case, the undesirable menu bar resizing does not occur for me.

Finally, you might check out the LablGTK mailing list (there is one) 
in the cc list, as they are a little more focused on things LablGTK.

I suspect the following:

use

  let menubar = GMenu.menu_bar ~packing:vbox#pack () in (*.........*)

instead
  of .... #add
