It seems that gdk_pointer_grab doesn't seem to work on windows at all. For
example:
Wnd = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
gtk_window_set_decorated(GTK_WINDOW(Wnd), FALSE);
gtk_window_set_type_hint(GTK_WINDOW(Wnd),
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DROPDOWN_MENU);
gtk_widget_add_events(Wnd, gtk_widget_get_events(Wnd) |
GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK);
g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT(Wnd),
"button-press-event",
G_CALLBACK(PopupButtonEvent),
this);
GdkGrabStatus s = gdk_pointer_grab( GDK_WINDOW(Wnd),
TRUE,
GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK,
NULL,
NULL,
GDK_CURRENT_TIME);
if (s == GDK_GRAB_SUCCESS)
// Show the window
Does not call PopupButtonEvent under any circumstance that I can see. However
if I use gtk_grab_add it does kinda work. In that I get press events when the
mouse is clicked over a GTK window. What I want is events when the mouse is
clicked anywhere.
Also if I launch this popup over a GtkDialog that is a transient for another
GtkWindow, I stop getting any button-press-event over Wnd, whereas if I launch
it over a normal GtkWindow it works fine. Why does the transient change things?
It seems so close to working just how I want it. I'd even put up with not
having click events outside my app... but not getting events while a transient
dialog is open too is a showstopper.
Also I'm not getting much in the way of answers by posting here, am I not
following some protocol?
