Detailed Description

A GtkOptionMenu is a widget that allows the user to choose from a list of valid choices. The GtkOptionMenu displays the selected choice. When activated the GtkOptionMenu displays a popup GtkMenu which allows the user to make a new choice. Using a GtkOptionMenu is simple; build a GtkMenu, by calling gtkMenuNew, then appending menu items to it with gtkMenuShellAppend. Set that menu on the option menu with gtkOptionMenuSetMenu. Set the selected menu item with gtkOptionMenuSetHistory; connect to the "changed" signal on the option menu; in the "changed" signal, check the new selected menu item with gtkOptionMenuGetHistory. As of GTK+ 2.4, GtkOptionMenu has been deprecated in favor of GtkComboBox.

Convenient Construction

gtkOptionMenu is the equivalent of gtkOptionMenuNew.
