In widget's realize method: set which events its Gdk window
should receive, e.g.:
attributes.event_mask = gtk_widget_get_events(widget);
attributes.event_mask |= (GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK
| GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK
| GDK_KEY_PRESS_MASK);
...
widget->window = gdk_window_new(gtk_widget_get_parent_window(widget),
&attributes, attributes_mask);
In widget's class init function: set the function that
implements particular event handlers, e.g.:
static void
my_widget_class_init(MyWidgetClass *klass)
{
GtkWidgetClass *widget_class;
...
widget_class = (GtkWidgetClass*)klass;
widget_class->key_press_event = my_widget_key_press;
widget_class->button_press_event = my_widget_button_press;
...
}

Button press event meaning is precisely defined, there's
nothing you can specify about it. You only define *what
happens* when it occurs.
I recommend to look at existing Gtk+ widget implementation
and Event handling section in tutorial:
