This is what I do: 1) create a callback for mouse-enter events on your drawing area 2) execute gtk_grab_add() on the drawing area as part of this callback 3) all key events will now be routed correctly to your other callback(s) 4) execute gtk_grab_remove() for mouse-leave events on the drawing area richard ==== Hi. I've set up a GtkDrawingArea to catch keypress and keyrelease events. However, if a toolbar created via gtk_ui_manager_get_widget() is visible, the toolbar's first button seems to steal those events - despite my attempts to change the focus, disable key press/release events to the toolbar, etc. If the toolbar isn't visible, everything works as expected. Does anyone have any suggestions on this one? Thanks, Brian _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
