Hi again :) the problem is that GtkDrawingArea does not implement any of the focus stuff that other widgets have (eg. drawing a focus highlight, catching focus_in/_out events, etc.). This means that keyboard input to a drawing area does not work well, especially if you mix drawing areas and widgets with "real" keyboard handling. I think the best solution is to subclass drawing area and implement the gtk focus system. It's not actually that hard ... when I did this I think I read gtkbutton and based it on that code. As I recall, you just need to implement draw_focus focus_in_event focus_out_event button_press_event button_release_event expose (you need to add code to draw the focus indicator) John ========================================================== Aelbert Cuyp 13 February - 12 May 2002 For information and tickets: http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
