Re: trouble with event propagation

["varun shrivastava" <iluvubuntu gmail com>]

hi

   the GtkButton  widget is handling the event and is returning TRUE,
thats why the event is not getting propagated to parents .

button-press-event is RUN-LAST so first your handler is called which returns FALSE,
than default handler from GtkButton is called which returns true.

Thats why if you connect using g_signal_connect_after than none of your handler will get called


See  gtk_button_button_press handler in gtkbutton.c

Hi,

I have a small code example, It should demonstrate the event propagation
in GTK+.

I have three widgets. A button, fixed container and a window. I have three
callbacks. After I click on the button, I expect a message from all these three widgets. First from the button, then from fixed container and from the window.
I must be missing something, cause it is not working. I am getting message only from the button widget.

How should I modify the example, so that the code works?
Thanks for your suggestions.

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

static gboolean button_reached(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data)
{
   g_print("button widget reached");

   return FALSE;
}


static gboolean fixed_reached(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event,  gpointer data)
{
   g_print("fixed container reached");

   return FALSE;
}
  

static gboolean window_reached(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
   g_print("window widget reached");

   return FALSE;
}

int main( int argc, char *argv[])

  GtkWidget *window;
