How to associate a simple menu with a window in GtkAda

How to associate a simple menu with a window in GtkAda

[andrew...@gmail.com]

I'm trying to create a small menu that will show up at the top of a window.  The problem that I'm encountering is that I'm not clear on how to make that association and have had a hard time trying to find this specific example.  This is the code that I have so far:

1. Always post complete code.

2. Never call Initialize on objects created Gtk_New or equivalent.

3. GtkAda examples contains a sample code for menus.

I agree that it's hard to find readable examples.  I have a an Ada GUI program on Github using GtkAda: https://github.com/SMerrony/dashera

I'm not holding up as great code, but take a look at Src/gui.adb - starting maybe woth the Create_Window procedure, then Create_Menu_Bar which adds the menu and associates its items to their procedures. 

Hope that helps a little.
