Re: Gtk::DrawingArea with Cairomm from Glade - no Event

[Lyle Underwood <lyleunderwood gmail com>]

You don't need an event box. I inherited from Gtk::DrawingArea and put
this in the constructor:

this->add_events(Gdk::POINTER_MOTION_MASK
		| Gdk::POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK
		| Gdk::BUTTON_PRESS_MASK
		| Gdk::LEAVE_NOTIFY_MASK);

Obviously I wanted to track the pointer motion as well ( for my
rudimentary drawing app ). Also, make sure your DrawingArea is
sensitive.
