I have succeeded in handling mouse clicks in an application but have been
unable to catch mouse wheel scrolling events. Based on extensive reading
of previous postings in this list, the following example program should
work for mouse wheel scrolling but it doesn't. The click-handling part
works. Note that this example program is not intended to do anything
useful, just to show that the events are being received. Does anyone see
anything I've done wrong in attaching the wheel scrolling event or
anything I've overlooked?
#include <glib.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
/*
HandleMouseButton
This is the callback for handling mouse clicks.
*/
static gboolean HandleMouseButton(
GtkWidget *
pWidget, // the GTK widget that was clicked
GdkEventButton *
pEvent, // the button event structure
gpointer
pUserData
)
{
// GDK_BUTTON_PRESS = 4, GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS = 5
g_print("HandleMouseButton event = %d, button = %d\n",
int(pEvent->type), int(pEvent->button));
return false; // false means continue propagating the event
} // HandleMouseButton
/*
HandleMouseScrollWheel
This is the callback for handling mouse scrolling.
*/
static gboolean HandleMouseScrollWheel(
GtkWidget *
pWidget, // the GTK widget
GdkEventScroll *
pEvent, // the scroll event structure
gpointer
pUserData
)
{
g_print("HandleMouseScrollWheel\n");
return false; // false means continue propagating the event
} // HandleMouseScrollWheel
int main(
int argc,
char * argv []
)
{
gtk_init(&(argc), &(argv));
GtkWidget * pWindow =
gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(pWindow), "test window");
// add handling of mouse clicks
gtk_widget_add_events(pWindow, GDK_BUTTON_PRESS_MASK);
g_signal_connect( G_OBJECT(pWindow),
"button_press_event",
G_CALLBACK(HandleMouseButton),
NULL);
// add handling of mouse scroll wheel events
gtk_widget_add_events(pWindow, GDK_SCROLL_MASK);
g_signal_connect( G_OBJECT(pWindow),
"scroll_event",
G_CALLBACK(HandleMouseScrollWheel),

gtk_widget_show(pWindow);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
