Re: keyboard events

[Yann LEYDIER <yann leydier info>]

Hi,

signal_key_release_event() seems the right way to do it. For the list of 
key values, see gdk/gdkkeysyms.h as stated in Gtk's documentation :
http://developer.gnome.org/gdk/stable/gdk-Event-Structures.html#GdkEventKey

You could also derivate your class from Gtk::Dialog, which recieves a 
response when ESC is pressed.
