The follwing data types are passed into event handlers by GTK+. For each data type listed, the signals that use this data type are listed.
The data type GdkEventType is a special data type that is used by
all the other data types as an indicator of the data type being passed
to the signal handler. As you will see below, each of the event data
structures has a member of this type. It is defined as an enumeration
type as follows:
typedef enum
{
GDK_NOTHING = -1,
GDK_DELETE = 0,
GDK_DESTROY = 1,
GDK_EXPOSE = 2,
GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY = 3,
GDK_BUTTON_PRESS = 4,
GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS = 5,
GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS = 6,
GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE = 7,
GDK_KEY_PRESS = 8,
GDK_KEY_RELEASE = 9,
GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY = 10,
GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY = 11,
GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE = 12,
GDK_CONFIGURE = 13,
GDK_MAP = 14,
GDK_UNMAP = 15,
GDK_PROPERTY_NOTIFY = 16,
GDK_SELECTION_CLEAR = 17,
GDK_SELECTION_REQUEST = 18,
GDK_SELECTION_NOTIFY = 19,
GDK_PROXIMITY_IN = 20,
GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT = 21,
GDK_DRAG_BEGIN = 22,
GDK_DRAG_REQUEST = 23,
GDK_DROP_ENTER = 24,
GDK_DROP_LEAVE = 25,
GDK_DROP_DATA_AVAIL = 26,
GDK_CLIENT_EVENT = 27,
GDK_VISIBILITY_NOTIFY = 28,
GDK_NO_EXPOSE = 29,
GDK_OTHER_EVENT = 9999 /* Deprecated, use filters instead */
} GdkEventType;
The other event type that is different from the others is
GdkEvent itself. This is a union of all the other
data types, which allows it to be cast to a specific
event data type within a signal handler.
So, the event data types are defined as follows:
