Re: Num keypad Enter doesn't work (re-sent)

["Jean-Christophe Berthon" <Jean-Christophe Berthon cgey com>]

I have exactly the same problem. I've tryed gtk_widget_add_accelerator with
GDK_Return and GDK_KP_Enter but with no success.


The only solution I've found was to work around it that way (the
insert_text_handler function is a callback on the insert_text event) :
static void insert_text_handler(GtkEntry *entry, const gchar *text, gint
length, gint *position, gpointer pxData_E)
{
 GtkEditable      *editable   = GTK_EDITABLE(entry);
 gchar      *result    = NULL;


 if (text[length - 1] == 0x0D) /* That's what the numkeypad enter is
producing for invisible caractere */
 {
  if (length > 1)
  {
   result = calloc(length - 1, sizeof(gchar));
   strncpy(result, text, length - 1);
  }

  gtk_signal_handler_block_by_func
    (
     GTK_OBJECT(editable),
     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(insert_text_handler),
     pxData_E
    );
  gtk_editable_insert_text
    (
     editable,
     result,
     length - 1,
     position
    );
  gtk_signal_handler_unblock_by_func
    (
     GTK_OBJECT(editable),
     GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(insert_text_handler),
     pxData_E
    );

  gtk_signal_emit_stop_by_name(GTK_OBJECT(editable), "insert_text");

  gtk_signal_emit_by_name(GTK_OBJECT(editable), "activate");

  free(result);
 }
}
