How do I create a tearoff menu using GTKAda?

If you've added the code that you have to your question, it will be more descriptive.

I wrote some code to demonstrate using a tear-off menu with GTKAda, it's not that hard, but it can be tricky to find documentation about it:

function CreateFileMenu(tearOff : boolean) return Gtk_Menu is
    fileMenu : Gtk_Menu;
    newFile, loadFile, saveFile, saveAs, close : Gtk_Menu_Item;
begin
    --  Create the menu:
    Gtk_New(fileMenu);

    --  Add the tear off item to the menu if required:
    if tearOff then
        declare
           tear : Gtk_Tearoff_Menu_Item;
        begin
           Gtk_New(tear);
           Append fileMenu, tear);
           Show(tear);
        end;
    end if;

    --  Create the rest of the menu items:
    Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic(newFile, "_New");
    Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic(loadFile, "_Load");
    Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic(saveFile, "_Save");
    Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic(saveAs, "Save _as...");
    Gtk_New_With_Mnemonic(close, "_Close");

    --  Add the items to the menu:
    Add(fileMenu, newFile);
    Add(fileMenu, loadFile);
    Add(fileMenu, saveFile);
    Add(fileMenu, saveAs);
    Add(fileMenu, close);

    return fileMenu;
 end CreateFileMenu;

      

        
        
        
      

    

The structure declare/begin/end

allows you to declare variables at runtime.

The parameter boolean

lets you decide if you want it to be a tear-off menu when you create it. The function just creates the menu, so you'll have to add it to the menu bar (for example) later.
