Gtk--: Problems with CList & Popup menu

[robert_gasch peoplesoft com]

Hi,

my CList widget is slowly maturing, but I'm having trouble understanding
how to use the GdkEvent * (passed into some of the *_impl methods)
in conjunction with a popup. Let me elaborate:

A typical *_impl function for CList looks like this:
     virtual void select_row_impl (gint p1, gint p2, GdkEvent *e);

However, in this method I want to create a popup menu which I've gotten
to work (somewhere else in my program)  using a call like this:
     d_menuHandle->popup (NULL, NULL, e->button, e->time);
where the type of e is GdkEventButton.

Since GdkEvent doesn't contain the button and time fields, I'm a bit
stuck at this point. I tried casting but that didn't work, so I guess I'm
overlooking something here. How can I take a GdkEvent * and
make a GdkEventButton from it so that I can use it with popup?

Thanks a lot
--> Robert
