Hey All,
I'd like to process the right arrow key in a Gtk::Entry widget (so, for
instance, if the cursor is at the rightmost insert position, I'd like to do
something special) but if I connect to the signal keypress event as so:
// LXWidgetEntry inherits from Gtk::Entry
LXWidgetEntry::LXWidgetEntry()
{
signal_key_press_event().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,
&LXWidgetEntry::OnKeypress));
}
bool LXWidgetEntry::OnKeypress(
GdkEventKey* event) // [in] event from the system (with key, state,
etc.)
{
if (event->keyval == GDK_Right)
{ // Do my thing here
}
return false;
}
I never get the right arrow key (I can get other keys, such as Tab, but not
keys the entry control uses).
Once I get the key, how do I either let the widget continue to handle the
key in some of the cases?
Thanks in advance!
-Garth
