I have a perl/tk question. I created a gui that uses the Menubutton widget and am using the -tearoff option (-tearoff =>1). I am trying to figure out how to change the icon in the upper-left corner of the torn-off menu window. I've got it working for the mainwin and every other dialog win. I've tried every combination I could come up with and have not been able to figure out how to change the icon for the Menubutton win. Here's a basic examp. This produces a menubutton and when you click on it you get just the dashed-line separator from the -tearoff option. If you click on the dashed-line you get the separate menubutton window. I want this window to use my own icon instead of the generic Tk icon. You have to have an icon file to run this example (couldn't figure out how to attach one to this question).
#! /usr/local/bin/perl -w use Tk; my $main = MainWindow->new(); my $wgif = $main->Bitmap("./someicon.ico"); $main->iconbitmap($wgif); my $mbut = $main->Menubutton(-text => 'Menu', -tearoff => 1)->pack(); &MainLoop;
