#89 icon-position for -compound left option

[Anonymous]

When using the new implemented "-compound left" option
from the menu-command, this icon is position to the
left of the "text-column".
I suppose the icon should be put in the column where
the "selectimages" (refered to as "indicatorSpace")
are placed.

This is in tkWinMenu.c (for Tk 8.4a4):

To position the icon in the "indicator"-column (which
looks more windows-like :-)), simply
function "DrawMenuEntryLabel" has to be modified
from

--------------------------------------------------
switch ((enum compound) mePtr->compound) {
...
case COMPOUND_LEFT: {
textXOffset = imageWidth + 2;
textYOffset = 0;
imageXOffset = 0;
imageYOffset = 0;
break;
}
--------------------------------------------------

to
--------------------------------------------------
case COMPOUND_LEFT: {
textXOffset = 0;
textYOffset = 0;
imageXOffset = x+activeBorderWidth-leftEdge;
imageYOffset = 0;
´ break;
}
--------------------------------------------------

Thanks in advance

Just wish to point out that if the image is moved to the
left in this case, and the menu entry can have a 'tick' put
to the left (e.g. its a radiobutton or checkbutton item),
then that tick would overlap the image.

Yes, that's right.
Perhaps it's better to add another option to
-compound
Something like
-compound left_indicator or
-compount indicator
or similar, so that you can use the -compound left
option for checkbuttons/radioboxes.
Should the tick not be configurable, too?
