Re: Gtk::Main::signal_key_snooper()

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

I use Gtk::Main::signal_key_snooper to invoke my help application when 
the user presses the F1 function key.  In the constructor of my GUI 
window I make the following call:

Gtk::Main::signal_key_snooper().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this,&Employee::on_F1_pressed));

which connects to this callback slot:

// help invocation function
int Employee::on_F1_pressed(Gtk::Widget *widget, GdkEventKey *keyevent)
{
   if(keyevent->keyval == GDK_F1 && keyevent->type == GDK_KEY_PRESS)
   {
       system("/usr/fiscal/gmwhelp EmployeeSetup &");
   }
   return 0;
}

I'm sure someone will disagree with my implementation, but it works well 
for me.
