Hi Ian, no you don't have to build GdkEventFocus objects. When a callback will be called all parameters of the callback function will be filled in by GTK. But you have to make sure that the parameter list of your callback function and its return type is the same that you will find in the docs for that signal or event. So when you want to connect a callback first decide when this callback shall be called (e.g. for "activate"). Then look up the correct function prototype for this from the docs and write your callback function. When you decide later that "focus-out-event" would be a better time to call it, look up that's function prototype again. When that prototype is different you have to change your parameter list accordingly. When you want a callback that is called in both situations and the parameter list is not the same you have to write two callback functions, one for each type of signal. Only when two signals have the same parameters you can use the same callback function. Regards...Peter > I'm not sure I understand.
