Event Structures
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
|
|
data structures specific to each type of event.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
The event structs contain data specific to each type of event in GDK.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<note>
|
|
<para>
|
|
A common mistake is to forget to set the event mask of a widget so that the
|
|
required events are received. See gtk_widget_set_events().

|
<!-- ##### UNION GdkEvent ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
The #GdkEvent struct contains a union of all of the event structs,
|
|
and allows access to the data fields in a number of ways.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The event type is always the first field in all of the event structs, and
|
|
can always be accessed with the following code, no matter what type of event
|
|
it is:
|
|
<informalexample>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GdkEvent *event;
|
|
GdkEventType type;
|
|
|
|
type = event->type;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</informalexample>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
To access other fields of the event structs, the pointer to the event can be
|
|
cast to the appropriate event struct pointer, or the union member name can be
|
|
used. For example if the event type is %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS then the x coordinate
|
|
of the button press can be accessed with:
|
|
<informalexample>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GdkEvent *event;
|
|
gdouble x;
|
|
|
|
x = ((GdkEventButton*)event)->x;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</informalexample>
|
|
or:
|
|
<informalexample>
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
GdkEvent *event;
|
|
gdouble x;
|
|
|
|
x = event->button.x;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</informalexample>
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### STRUCT GdkEventAny ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Contains the fields which are common to all event structs.
|
|
Any event pointer can safely be cast to a pointer to a #GdkEventAny to access
|
|
these fields.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@type: the type of the event.
|
|
@window: the window which received the event.
|
|
@send_event: %TRUE if the event was sent explicitly (e.g. using
|
|
<function>XSendEvent</function>).
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### STRUCT GdkEventKey ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Describes a key press or key release event.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
@type: the type of the event (%GDK_KEY_PRESS or %GDK_KEY_RELEASE).
|
|
@window: the window which received the event.
|
|
@send_event: %TRUE if the event was sent explicitly (e.g. using
|
|
<function>XSendEvent</function>).
|
|
@time: the time of the event in milliseconds.
|
|
@state: a bit-mask representing the state of the modifier keys (e.g. Control,
|
|
Shift and Alt) and the pointer buttons. See #GdkModifierType.
|
|
@keyval: the key that was pressed or released. See the <filename><gdk/gdkkeysym.h></filename>
|
|
header file for a complete list of GDK key codes.
|
|
@length: the length of @string.
|
|
@string: a nul-terminated multi-byte string containing the composed characters
|
|
resulting from the key press. When text is being input, in a #GtkEntry for
|
|
example, it is these characters which should be added to the input buffer.
|
|
When using <link linkend="gdk-Input-Methods">Input Methods</link> to support
|
|
internationalized text input, the composed characters appear here after the
|
|
pre-editing has been completed.
|
|
@hardware_keycode: the raw code of the key that was pressed or released.
|
|
@group: the keyboard group.
|
|
|
|
<!-- ##### STRUCT GdkEventButton ##### -->
|
|
<para>
|
|
Used for button press and button release events. The
|
|
<structfield>type</structfield> field will be one of %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS,
|
|
%GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS, %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS, and %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Double and triple-clicks result in a sequence of events being received.
|
|
For double-clicks the order of events will be:
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE</para></listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
Note that the first click is received just like a normal
|
|
button press, while the second click results in a %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS being
|
|
received just after the %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Triple-clicks are very similar to double-clicks, except that %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS
|
|
is inserted after the third click. The order of the events is:
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS</para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para>%GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE</para></listitem>
|
|
</orderedlist>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For a double click to occur, the second button press must occur within 1/4 of
|
|
a second of the first. For a triple click to occur, the third button press
|
|
must also occur within 1/2 second of the first button press.
|
|

|
|
@time: the time of the event in milliseconds.
|
|
@x: the x coordinate of the pointer relative to the window.

<!-- ##### STRUCT GdkEventExpose ##### -->
|
|

so this is not normally needed.

in or out of contact with a touch screen.
