I'm trying to make my own 'rectangular selection box' for a plot/graphing application.
It is suggested that we always use GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK in the tutorial (http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/x2433.html) and call gdk_window_get_pointer() to explicitly ask for the position of the pointer. Does that mean I have to use a separate timer to call *_get_pointer to update the box on the drawable instead of using the user's mouse movements while they move with a button pressed? Well, is this what GIMP does or are there specific situations where GIMP just uses the normal GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK to draw a box from where the user last clicked to where the mouse currently sits? Any hints as to where this would be in the GIMP source are appreciated. ~Thanks _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
