in pygtk how to edit content of an Entry object that added to MenuItem (On Run Time)

I want to create a MenuItem that an Entry shows on this to user can enter value to the entry widget. This proc开发者_开发百科edure is easy to implement but after showing this Entry it cant get cursor and user cant input text to it, help me to do it please. i used pygtk 2.0 .

#!/usr/bin/env python
import gtk

win = gtk.Window()
win.connect( "destroy", gtk.main_quit )

menubar = gtk.MenuBar()
popup = gtk.Menu()
root_menu = gtk.MenuItem("root")
menu_item = gtk.MenuItem()
field =  gtk.Entry()

win.add( menubar )
menubar.add( root_menu )
root_menu.set_submenu( popup )
popup.append( menu_item )
menu_item.add( field )

win.show_all()    
print field.get_can_focus(), field.get_editable()

gtk.main()

Here is a post announcing that what you are trying to do might be included in GTK 3.4; but I don't know where to find the current state of that code.

Here is a great menubar example -- just copy it and put it menubar_test.py then change the permissions chmod 755 menubar_test.py

Hope this helps you!

Using pygtk 2.0, I believe you want to use:

field.set_text("Here is my text in gtk.Entry widget")

field.get_text() retrieves the text that you just set above in gtk.Entry.
