Re: Which events does a widget listen for

Well, sort of. I also want to allow people to add events. Then I need to know if the event is in the event mask. And I also like to make things as generic as possible. I hate having changes in one place effect code in another if I can avoid it. Steph wrote:

Well in that case surely all you need to know is which events a gtkeventbox will 'see'? attributes.event_mask = gtk_widget_get_events (widget) | GDK_BUTTON_MOTION_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK | GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK | GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK | GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK;

You can either trawl through GTK src looking for

attributes.event_mask, or

you could steal the bit of PHP-GTK code from the signals/events

chapter in

the manual and play with the widgets to see what you get.

Thanks for your help Steph. Trawling source is out for me because I need to know what is being accepted at run time. I am wrapping an event box in another class that will allow me to connect events to some of its methods. I need to check that the event will be accepted before I call the connect method thought. (See http://www.crisscott.com/PHP-Gtk/ScrollingLabel/Docs/ScrollingLabel/ for a better idea of what I am talking about.) Anyways, I will have to play with widgets to try and get the info as I need it. I'll keep the list updated if/when I figure out how to get the info I need.
