Hello paul >> 1) my widget is a drawing area; the 2 signals are emited when I use the >> mainWindow widget (that contains the drawingarea) but not the drawing >> area >> widget in itself; I don't see where is the problem; >you set the event mask for the mainWindow and then you connected to >signals emitted by mainWindow. what do you expect? Well yes of course; I meant that when I replace 'mainWindow' by 'drawingArea' (the drawing area widget) at both locations, nothing happens at all. >> 2) I use the GDK_BUTTON_MOTION_MASK option because I want the mouse >> motion >> to be considered only when the mouse button is pressed; in my case, EVERY >> mouse motion is reported... >not sure why you think this mask does this. As far as I understand, this mask allows to "receive pointer motion events while any button is pressed " according to the gdk doc (http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/gdk/gdk-Events.html) Victor -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/combined-mouse-and-button-event-in-a-drawing-area-tp33090815p33090885.html Sent from the Gtk+ - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
