Re^4: Placement of image with Tk::Compound and Tk::Menu

[ldln]

Had look at the widget demo and found a solution but other problems appeared also.

The solution is to use "-hidemargin =>1" option on each menuitem.

I tried this option before posting my query, but apparently if we don't use "-hidemargin =>1" on all menuitems under a menubar entry, it just won't work. So it seems that indivdual menuitems can't be controlled - they all eiter have a margin or they don't. Well, I can live with that.

But now there are two other problems:

1) On the Checkbutton menuitem, the "hook" no longer appears.
2) The image from Tk::ToolBar doesn't appear properly before menuitem is highlighted. Same happens if I create own Tk::Image widget and use that instead.

How could we solve these issues?

#!/usr/bin/perl -s

use Tk;
use Tk::ToolBar;
use Tk::Compound;
use strict;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();


#Load images from Tk::ToolBar.
my $tb = $mw->ToolBar();
$tb->destroy();
my $compound = $mw->Compound;
#How do we place this image to far left in menu?
#Answer:use -hidemargin option.
$compound->Image( -image => 'acthelp16', -anchor => 'w' );

$compound->Space( -width => 8 );
$compound->Text( -text => "Open", -underline => 0 );
$compound->Space( -width => 28 );
my $menubar = $mw->Menu( -type => 'menubar', );

my $c2 = $mw->Compound;
$c2->Space(-width => 40);

#my $menuitem = [ [ command => Open, -image => $compound ] ];
$menubar->cascade(
  -label     => 'File',
  -tearoff   => 0,
  -menuitems => [ 
         #All menuitem must have hidemargin enabled for it to work.
         [ Button => 'Open', -image => $compound, -hidemargin => 1, ],
         [ Button => '~Quit', -command => [ destroy => $mw ], -hidemar
+gin => 1 ],
         '-',
         #But now the checkbutton doesn't appear anymore..
         [ Checkbutton => 'Checkthing', -hidemargin => 1, -image=>$c2,
+ -compound=>'left' ],
                ]
);

$mw->configure( -menu => $menubar );
MainLoop;
