Re: Find path under mouse

[Anthony Ruth <Anthony J Ruth 12 nd edu>]

If I understand correctly, you want to get the x and y value of the mouse
at the time when the keyboard event happens. You can either use
GdkDeviceManager to get the pointer and then get x and y from that, or
listen for motion_notify events on your treeview and keep track of x and y
values (I think this may be what you mean by path).
