Detail

A OptionMenu is a widget that allows the user to choose from a list of valid choices. The OptionMenu displays the selected choice. When activated the OptionMenu displays a popup Menu which allows the user to make a new choice.

Using a OptionMenu is simple; build a Menu, by calling menuNew, then appending menu items to it with menuShellAppend. Set that menu on the option menu with optionMenuSetMenu. Set the selected menu item with optionMenuSetHistory; connect to the "changed" signal on the option menu; in the "changed" signal, check the new selected menu item with optionMenuGetHistory.

As of Gtk+ 2.4, OptionMenu has been deprecated in favor of ComboBox.
