Re: GtkCList - how to find which cell was clicked?

[Jeff Shipman <shippy nmt edu>]

What I did was hook up my "button-press-event" to a callback
and then use gtk_clist_get_selection_info() so you can get the
row and column by using the x and y coordinates of the event
that's passed into your handler. So, it looks something like this:

void right_click_item(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventButton *event, gpointer data)
{
   gint row, column, res;

   if(event->button == 3) /* Was right-clicked */
   {
      res = gtk_clist_get_selection_info(GTK_CLIST(widget), event->x,
                                         event->y, &row, &column);

      if(res) /* We had a valid right-click */
      {
         /* Handle the right-click on that particular row/column */
      }
   }
}

Hope this helps!
