HScale on_button_press_event blocking

["Jeremy Harmon" <intrathink gmail com>]

I'm overriding the on_button_press_event for a HScale widget. It gets
called fine, and then I return FALSE to continue on with the other
handlers, but it doesn't work. I don't understand what I could be
doing wrong, as the code is very simple:

bool seekBar::on_button_press_event(GdkEventButton *event)
{
       m_isSeeking = true;
	return false;
}

bool seekBar::on_button_release_event(GdkEventButton *event)
{
	m_isSeeking = false;
	return false;
}


Thanks,
Jeremy Harmon
