After playing around a bit and looking at the documentation I got it to work. The trick is to use the "events" flag when creating the Gtk::DrawingArea to make it respond to motion events. I'm including a complete example below. Also, don't forget that you will have to do the painting in the exposure callback. I wrote a library called Gtk::Window::Draw that provides a nice syntax for doing drawing primitives that you might want to use. Another much more high level use is to use the Gtk::Canvas widget. Why don't you use that? Regards, Dov On Wed, Apr 03, 2002 at 08:02:22AM -0800, Nguyen Tran Quoc Vinh wrote:
I don't know how to get the coordinates of the mouse point on the
DrawingArea. I have galde, glade-perl, gtk-perl on the Slackware 7.0.
Please tell what can i read in this case or how to get the tutorial for
DrawingArea.
Thank you very much.
