Description

This section describes functions dealing with events from the window system.

In GTK+ applications the events are handled automatically in gtk_main_do_event() and passed on to the appropriate widgets, so these functions are rarely needed. Though some of the fields in the Event Structures are useful.

Functions

gdk_events_pending ()

gboolean
gdk_events_pending (void);

Checks if any events are ready to be processed for any display.

Returns

TRUE if any events are pending.


gdk_event_peek ()

GdkEvent *
gdk_event_peek (void);

If there is an event waiting in the event queue of some open display, returns a copy of it. See gdk_display_peek_event().

Returns

a copy of the first GdkEvent on some event queue, or NULL if no events are in any queues. The returned GdkEvent should be freed with gdk_event_free().

[nullable]


gdk_event_get ()

GdkEvent *
gdk_event_get (void);

Checks all open displays for a GdkEvent to process,to be processed on, fetching events from the windowing system if necessary. See gdk_display_get_event().

Returns

the next GdkEvent to be processed, or NULL if no events are pending. The returned GdkEvent should be freed with gdk_event_free().

[nullable]


gdk_event_put ()

void
gdk_event_put (const GdkEvent *event);

Appends a copy of the given event onto the front of the event queue for event->any.window’s display, or the default event queue if event->any.window is NULL. See gdk_display_put_event().

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent.

 

gdk_event_new ()

GdkEvent *
gdk_event_new (GdkEventType type);

Creates a new event of the given type. All fields are set to 0.

Parameters

type

a GdkEventType

 

Returns

a newly-allocated GdkEvent. The returned GdkEvent should be freed with gdk_event_free().

Since: 2.2


gdk_event_copy ()

[transfer none]

Since: 3.4


gdk_event_request_motions ()

void
gdk_event_request_motions (const GdkEventMotion *event);

Request more motion notifies if event is a motion notify hint event.

This function should be used instead of gdk_window_get_pointer() to request further motion notifies, because it also works for extension events where motion notifies are provided for devices other than the core pointer. Coordinate extraction, processing and requesting more motion events from a GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY event usually works like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
{
  // motion_event handler
  x = motion_event->x;
  y = motion_event->y;
  // handle (x,y) motion
  gdk_event_request_motions (motion_event); // handles is_hint events
}

Parameters

event

a valid GdkEvent

 

Since: 2.12


gdk_events_get_angle ()

gboolean
gdk_events_get_angle (GdkEvent *event1,
                      GdkEvent *event2,
                      gdouble *angle);

                       gdouble *x,
                       gdouble *y);

If both events contain X/Y information, the center of both coordinates will be returned in x and y .

Parameters

event1

first GdkEvent

 

event2

second GdkEvent

 

x

return location for the X coordinate of the center.

Parameters

event1

first GdkEvent

 

event2

second GdkEvent

 

distance

return location for the distance.

[out]

TRUE if the distance could be calculated.

Since: 3.0


gdk_event_triggers_context_menu ()

gboolean
gdk_event_triggers_context_menu (const GdkEvent *event);

This function returns whether a GdkEventButton should trigger a context menu, according to platform conventions. The right mouse button always triggers context menus. Additionally, if gdk_keymap_get_modifier_mask() returns a non-0 mask for GDK_MODIFIER_INTENT_CONTEXT_MENU, then the left mouse button will also trigger a context menu if this modifier is pressed.

This function should always be used instead of simply checking for event->button == GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY.

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent, currently only button events are meaningful values

 

Returns

TRUE if the event should trigger a context menu.

Since: 3.4


gdk_event_get_seat ()

gdk_event_get_seat (const GdkEvent *event);

Returns the GdkSeat this event was generated for.

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

Returns

The GdkSeat of this event.

Since: 3.20


gdk_event_get_scancode ()

int
gdk_event_get_scancode (GdkEvent *event);

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

Returns

The associated keyboard scancode or 0

Since: 3.22


gdk_event_get_pointer_emulated ()

gboolean
gdk_event_get_pointer_emulated (GdkEvent *event);

Returns whether this event is an 'emulated' pointer event (typically from a touch event), as opposed to a real one.

Since: 3.22


gdk_event_handler_set ()

void
gdk_event_handler_set (GdkEventFunc func,
                       gpointer data,
                       GDestroyNotify notify);

Sets the function to call to handle all events from GDK.

Note that GTK+ uses this to install its own event handler, so it is usually not useful for GTK+ applications. (Although an application can call this function then call gtk_main_do_event() to pass events to GTK+.)

Parameters

func

the function to call to handle events from GDK.

 

data

user data to pass to the function.

 

notify

the function to call when the handler function is removed, i.e. when gdk_event_handler_set() is called with another event handler.

 

GdkEventFunc ()

void
(*GdkEventFunc) (GdkEvent *event,
                 gpointer data);

Specifies the type of function passed to gdk_event_handler_set() to handle all GDK events.

Parameters

event

the GdkEvent to process.

 

data

user data set when the event handler was installed with gdk_event_handler_set().

[closure]

gdk_get_show_events ()

gboolean
gdk_get_show_events (void);

Gets whether event debugging output is enabled.

Returns

TRUE if event debugging output is enabled.


gdk_set_show_events ()

void
gdk_set_show_events (gboolean show_events);

Sets whether a trace of received events is output. Note that GTK+ must be compiled with debugging (that is, configured using the --enable-debug option) to use this option.

Parameters

show_events

TRUE to output event debugging information.

 

gdk_event_set_screen ()

void
gdk_event_set_screen (GdkEvent *event,
                      GdkScreen *screen);

Sets the screen for event to screen . The event must have been allocated by GTK+, for instance, by gdk_event_copy().

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

screen

a GdkScreen

 

Since: 2.2


gdk_event_get_screen ()

GdkScreen *
gdk_event_get_screen (const GdkEvent *event);

Returns the screen for the event. The screen is typically the screen for event->any.window, but for events such as mouse events, it is the screen where the pointer was when the event occurs - that is, the screen which has the root window to which event->motion.x_root and event->motion.y_root are relative.

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

Returns

the screen for the event.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.2


gdk_event_get_device ()

GdkDevice *

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent.

 

Returns

a GdkDevice, or NULL.

[nullable][transfer none]

Since: 3.0


gdk_event_set_device ()

void
gdk_event_set_device (GdkEvent *event,
                      GdkDevice *device);

Sets the device for event to device . The event must have been allocated by GTK+, for instance, by gdk_event_copy().

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

device

a GdkDevice

 

Since: 3.0


gdk_event_get_source_device ()

GdkDevice *
gdk_event_get_source_device (const GdkEvent *event);

This function returns the hardware (slave) GdkDevice that has triggered the event, falling back to the virtual (master) device (as in gdk_event_get_device()) if the event wasn’t caused by interaction with a hardware device. This may happen for example in synthesized crossing events after a GdkWindow updates its geometry or a grab is acquired/released.

If the event does not contain a device field, this function will return NULL.

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

Returns

a GdkDevice, or NULL.

[nullable][transfer none]

Since: 3.0


gdk_event_set_source_device ()

void
gdk_event_set_source_device (GdkEvent *event,
                             GdkDevice *device);

Sets the slave device for event to device .

The event must have been allocated by GTK+, for instance by gdk_event_copy().

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

device

a GdkDevice

 

Since: 3.0


gdk_event_get_device_tool ()

GdkDeviceTool *
gdk_event_get_device_tool (const GdkEvent *event);

If the event was generated by a device that supports different tools (eg. a tablet), this function will return a GdkDeviceTool representing the tool that caused the event. Otherwise, NULL will be returned.

Note: the GdkDeviceTool<!-- -->s will be constant during the application lifetime, if settings must be stored persistently across runs, see gdk_device_tool_get_serial()

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

 

Returns

The current device tool, or NULL.

[transfer none]

Since: 3.22


gdk_event_set_device_tool ()

void
gdk_event_set_device_tool (GdkEvent *event,
                           GdkDeviceTool *tool);

Sets the device tool for this event, should be rarely used.

Parameters

event

a GdkEvent

gdk_setting_get ()

gboolean
gdk_setting_get (const gchar *name,
                 GValue *value);

Obtains a desktop-wide setting, such as the double-click time, for the default screen. See gdk_screen_get_setting().

Parameters

name

the name of the setting.

 

value

location to store the value of the setting.

 

Returns

TRUE if the setting existed and a value was stored in value , FALSE otherwise.

Types and Values

enum GdkEventType

Specifies the type of the event.

Do not confuse these events with the signals that GTK+ widgets emit. Although many of these events result in corresponding signals being emitted, the events are often transformed or filtered along the way.

In some language bindings, the values GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS would translate into something syntactically invalid (eg Gdk.EventType.2ButtonPress, where a symbol is not allowed to start with a number). In that case, the aliases GDK_DOUBLE_BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_TRIPLE_BUTTON_PRESS can be used instead.

GDK_PAD_GROUP_MODE

A tablet pad group mode change. This event type was added in 3.22.

 

GDK_EVENT_LAST

marks the end of the GdkEventType enumeration. Added in 2.18

 

enum GdkEventMask

A set of bit-flags to indicate which events a window is to receive. Most of these masks map onto one or more of the GdkEventType event types above.

See the input handling overview for details of event masks and event propagation.

GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK is deprecated. It is a special mask to reduce the number of GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY events received. When using GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK, fewer GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY events will be sent, some of which are marked as a hint (the is_hint member is TRUE). To receive more motion events after a motion hint event, the application needs to asks for more, by calling gdk_event_request_motions().

Since GTK 3.8, motion events are already compressed by default, independent of this mechanism. This compression can be disabled with gdk_window_set_event_compression(). See the documentation of that function for details.

If GDK_TOUCH_MASK is enabled, the window will receive touch events from touch-enabled devices. Those will come as sequences of GdkEventTouch with type GDK_TOUCH_UPDATE, enclosed by two events with type GDK_TOUCH_BEGIN and GDK_TOUCH_END (or GDK_TOUCH_CANCEL). gdk_event_get_event_sequence() returns the event sequence for these events, so different sequences may be distinguished.
