Hi all,
I'm working on a Gtk project (3.10, Python 2 for the prototype, if that
matters) using a Gtk.Overlay [1]. The main child of the overlay is a
WebKit.WebView. The overlaid widget is a Gtk.EventBox that contains a
number of children, grand-children, etc. Right now, scroll events
outside of the EventBox go to the WebView, as desired, but scroll
events inside the EventBox go to one of it's children. Instead, I
would like all of these scroll events to go to the WebView as well, so
scrolling doesn't break when the EventBox moves under the pointer.
The only way I've gotten this to work is to recursively attach a
scroll-event handler to all the descendants of the EventBox that stops
the event and instead creates a scroll event on the WebView. This
works, but it's inelegant. I'm hoping there's a way to do this more
simply, whether through the EventBox or the Overlay itself.
One idea that sort of worked was to set EventBox.set_above_child(True).
This ensured that the EventBox got all the scroll events over any of
its descendants, so it was easy to pass them on to the WebView. But it
also captured all other events, which I want to go through to the
children. Is there some way to tell the EventBox to only capture
scroll events? Or is there another way to do this?
Thanks,
Robert
[1] Well, actually the Overlay is a custom class inheriting from
Gtk.Overlay and implementing Gtk.Scrollable by passing through the
adjustments of the WebView. This is to allow the whole thing to sit in
a Gtk.ScrolledWindow that moves both the WebView and the overlaid
widget together. I hope that doesn't make a difference, but maybe it
does.
