Re: Having an event box pass unhandled events to its child

Hi

I just compiled your code with Gtk 2.16.1 and it works just fine - I get the same print for both buttons:

"cb_button_press_event

Got right mouse button!"

Regards,

Jonathan

I did. See my message to the list from 21 May 2009 20:04 with the subject "Doing right click on some widgets doesn't work". That program creates two buttons. One "normal" and one "file chooser button". I attach the same signals to them, but the signal handler for button-press-event is never called for the file chooser button. I thought I understood signals in gtk by now. But this one beats me...

I should aim to provide the simplest program example which demonstrates
the problem.  If it is just a matter of button press events, that
should be very simple indeed.
