Re: [g-a-devel] AtkInterfaces for gnome-about

["Deepa Natarajan" <deepa natarajan wipro com>]

Marc,

The steps i followed :
a) Set the menu option to mouse track in ferret.
b) When i mouse over the gnome-dialog, i see Widget name in ferret as
GnomeDialog.
c) Then i mouse over the Drawing Area, in Ferret i still see the Widget
name as GnomeDialog. That is the problem i was referring to.
d) Now if i mouse over the canvas area i.e. where the logo image
appears. The widget name in ferret is  : GnomeCanvas. Which is fine.
Then i mouse over to the DrawingArea and i still see the widget name in
ferret as GnomeCanvas. 

So it looks as though ferret does not receive any signal that the
drawing area emits, and persists to show the previous widget, the mouse
was over. 

There are 2 things that i could do here to set up the AtkObject :
a) emit the signal that gail/ferret is looking for.
b) OR catch the realize signal (of drawingarea) and setup an AtkObject
here.

Which option would be better here and what all should i consider before
doing this ?

Hope this was the information you were asking for.

Thanks,
Deepa.
