Re: Having an event box pass unhandled events to its child

Strange. Perhaps the baseclass of gtkfilechooserbutton changed? In any case, Chris found out why it doesn't work in some cases, which is what I really wanted to know. :-)

Hi

I just compiled your code with Gtk 2.16.1 and it works just fine - I get the same print for both buttons:

"cb_button_press_event

Got right mouse button!"

Regards,

Jonathan

I did. See my message to the list from 21 May 2009 20:04 with the subject "Doing right click on some widgets doesn't work". That program creates two buttons. One "normal" and one "file chooser button". I attach the same signals to them, but the signal handler for button-press-event is never called for the file chooser button. I thought I understood signals in gtk by now. But this one beats me...

I should aim to provide the simplest program example which demonstrates
the problem.  If it is just a matter of button press events, that
should be very simple indeed.
