so the reverse for Set_Submenu is Get_Attach_Widget
it works :-)

thank you really very much :-))

thank you :-)

if i have threads, and then one of them wants to display a dialog  
while the user is typing some text in the entry,
can we be sure that focus_out_event will be send when the dialog will  
be displayed ?

in fact, can we be sure that focus_out_event will be send when it  
happens anything outside the entry, not only when the user clicks on  
an other entry ?
