Abstract

This TIP describes how to change the menubutton in the Tk core to add a -compound option to display both text and images. This behavior already exists in the button widget.

Rationale

In order to have a menubutton with both text and images, this change is needed. This change facilitates the use of an image for the menubutton face with text on top. Like the button widget, the -compound option will accept these values: none, center, left, right, top, bottom.

Reference Implementation

This TIP proposes to change the internals of the menubutton.

The changes necessary to accomplish this are:

  1. Extend the structure TkMenuButton in generic/tkMenubutton.h with a new field of type int to hold the value of the compound setting.

  2. Add an enumeration of valid -compound options in generic/tkMenubutton.h.

  3. Modify generic/tkMenuButton.c and unix/tkUnixMenubu.c in such a way to process this new option. Note: The windows port of Tk uses the unix/tkUnixMenubu.c file. So this change is portable to both Unix and windows.

  4. Change tests/menubut.test so that the test for configure options checks for 33 instead of the current 32.

  5. Change doc/menubutton.n to show the new option under widget specific options.
