Adding an Action
To add a custom action to a menu, use the following Tcl API:
# add actions to pop-up menus addActionToMenu
In the following snippet, an action is added to the pop-up menu. Clicking this menu item
will display the string "In custom action" in the Command window.
# define a new Tcl procedure
"customAction" proc customAction
{} { puts "In custom
action" }
# set the pop-up menu
name set popupMenu {Pop-
Up}
# set the action name
set customAction {Custom
Action}
# set the icon for the action if you have
# an icon file customIcon.png
set iconFile [file normalize customIcon.png]
# add the action to the pop-up menu with the tooltip
# "Custom action in pop-up menu" having an icon
# customIcon.png
addActionToMenu $popupMenu
$customAction ::customAction \
$::iconFile {Custom action in pop-up menu} {} {sch}
The next section illustrates a sample Tcl script to create a top-level menu containing a
pop-up menu and the actions associated with it.
