Widget callbacks¶

A signal will be emitted when an event occurs on a widget.
To run any actions when a signal is emitted, you should define a callback, a function will run these actions.

Here, you can define all callbacks with an one function : _gtkWidgetCB

Its prototype is : fun [ObjGtkWidget u1 u0 I I] ObjGtkWidget

1. ObjGtkWidget : Scol object : the widget
2. u1 : the prototype of the callback (see below)
3. u0 : the user parameter, at your convenience
4. I : the flag of the callback = which signal is affected ? (see below)
5. I : the mask : propagate or not the signal to the container ? Two values are availables
• SCOL_GTK_SIGNAL_MASK_PROPAGATE
• SCOL_GTK_SIGNAL_MASK_STOP

Warning : the prototype of the callback is different for each flag !

Flag currently availables :

• Table of contents
• Widget callbacks
• Any widgets
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_BUTTONPRESSED
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_BUTTONRELEASED
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_MOVERESIZE
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_DESTROY
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_ENTERLEAVE
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_KEYB_FOCUS
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_SHOW
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_HIDE
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_KEY
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_MOTION
  • SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_SCROLL
• Any window
  • SCOL_GTK_WINDOW_STATE
• Any button
  • SCOL_GTK_BUTTON_CLICKED

Any widgets¶

SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_BUTTONPRESSED¶

a mouse button has been pressed on a widget.
Prototype : fun [ObjGtkWidget u0 I I I [I I]] u2

table

1. widget	ObjGtkWidget	a widget
2. userparam	u0	a user parameter, at your convenience
3. signal	I	the type of the signal	SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_PRESSED (one click),
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_PRESSED2 (double click),
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_PRESSED3 (triple click),
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_RELEASE (button released).
			So you can make one function to several definitions
4. button	I	the mouse button	SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_1,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_2,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_3,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_4,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_BUTTON_5,
5. mask	I	the mask of the modifier keys	SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_SHIFT
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_CONTROL,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_ALT,
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_CAPS (can not work : system, window manager, ...)
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_HYPER (can not work : system, window manager, ...)
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_SUPER (can not work : system, window manager, ...)
			SCOL_GTK_EVENT_KEY_OTHER (or nothing)
6. position	I	the position of the click [x y], relative to the widget

Note : sometimes, it is better to use the flag SCOL_GTK_BUTTON_CLICKED. For example, to grab the signal of a mnemonic button, SCOL_GTK_BUTTON_CLICKED should be used (but the callback give less informations).

SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_BUTTONRELEASED¶

a mouse button has been released on a widget.
Prototype : fun [ObjGtkWidget u0 I I I [I I]] u2

Note : sometimes, it is better to use the flag SCOL_GTK_BUTTON_CLICKED. For example, to grab the signal of a mnemonic button, SCOL_GTK_BUTTON_CLICKED should be used (but the callback give less informations).

See 'SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_BUTTONPRESSED' above.

SCOL_GTK_WIDGET_MOVERESIZE¶

Prototype : fun [ObjGtkWidget u0 I I I [I I]] u2

The supplementals arguments are :
table
