Re: [gtk2] window closing

[Michael Hill <mjh rdasys com>]

You can connect the "delete_event" from a gtk_window to your own callback that returns a TRUE value.  Here is an example:

GtkWidget *window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
g_signal_connect( G_OBJECT(window), "delete_event",
                           G_CALLBACK(some_func), NULL);


gint some_func(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event,
                      gpointer data)
{
    /* Someone tried to close the window with 'X' button in top right corner.
     * Tell them to go away...
     * Returning TRUE will not allow this, returning FALSE will...
     */
    g_print("GO AWAY, I'M NOT CLOSING!!!");
    return(TRUE);
}

You get the idea....

Cheers,

Michael H.
