Re: [gtk-list] Can DrawingArea produce key press event?

[Cody Russell <bratsche dfw net>]

Yeah, this is easy enough. You need to create a GTK event box and then add
your drawing area to it, something like:

   GtkWidget *evtbox;
   GtkWidget *drawing_area;

   /* Setup your drawing area here.. */

   evtbox = gtk_event_box_new();
   gtk_signal_connect(GTK_OBJECT(evtbox),
                      "key_press_event",
                      GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(key_press_cb),
                      NULL);
   gtk_widget_set_events(evtbox, GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK);
   gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(evtbox), drawing_area);
   gtk_widget_show(evtbox);

I hope this helps..
