I am trying to get a handle on some basic aspects of event handling. In particular, I can't quite figure-out why a drawing area (created with gtk_drawing_area_new ()) can handle mouse-clicks set up with a g_signal_connect call for "button_release_event", but not keyboard input setup with the same g_signal_connect for "key_press_event". (Incidentally, I setup the drawing with gtk_widget_set_events() for GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK and GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK).
I ultimately just used g_signal_connect with the main window to catch keypresses. But it wasn't clear to me why I couldn't get g_signal_connect to handle keyboard events for a drawing area. Any explanation would be appreciated. Thanks! _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
