Can anyone who knows about gtkD tell me what is the intention of the MenuItem argument to the delegate passed as the first argument to this method.

I was hoping that this was to allow the transfer of some userdata to the handler, but I don't see any such provision for adding userdata in the MenuItem class.

I have Googled on this topic at some length, but not found any clue. Of course, I could be asking the wrong questions.

Thanks
Steve

The MenuItem in the delegate is the MenuItem that has received the signal. To add some userdata you can do one of two things:

1. Use setData and getData to set and retrieve the data these only accept pointers though.
2. ₢eating a derived class that includes the userdata should also work.
