Hi, you may connect to the signals "enter-notify-event" and "leave-notify-event". They are emitted when the mouse enters or leaves the widget. If you are seeking a signal that is emitted whenever the pointer get moved, you should connect to the "motion-notify-event". To do so, you have to place you TreeView widget in a GtkEventBox and add the GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK to the event's box event mask using for example gtk_widget_add_events. Then you connect the the EventBox's "motion-notify-event" signal.
