Re: How do I catch right-click on a TreeView header?

[John M Collins <jmc xisl com>]

I gave that a try, gtk_tree_view_column_get_widget() returns NULL unless
you've set a widget.

I've now got it displaying label widgets but alas the connection of
button-press-event doesn't seem to do anything. I still get the sorting
action on the left button of the mouse but nothing happens when I
right-click and it doesn't enter my event-handling routine.

Ideas would be valued. Thanks.
