Hi! I have made a subclass of DrawingArea called DrawingPanel. The purpose
of this class is drag a Figure (circle, rectangle, etc.) when the user moves
the mouse over the area with the button pressed.
The code works fine but I don't know if this solution is a good solution,
here is the code (maybe it can be useful for other programmers)
class DrawingPanel : public Gtk::DrawingArea {
bool buttonPressed;
int incr_x, incr_y;
// ...
public:
DrawingPanel() : DrawingArea(), ... {
add_events(
Gdk::POINTER_MOTION_MASK | Gdk::BUTTON_PRESS_MASK |
Gdk::BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK
);
buttonPressed = false;
}
// handler methods...
}
bool DrawingPanel::on_button_release_event(GdkEventButton* event) {
buttonPressed = false;
return true;
}
bool DrawingPanel::on_button_press_event(GdkEventButton* event) {
buttonPressed = true;
point_t pc = figure.getCenter(); // point_t is an structure with (x, y)
attributes
incr_x = pc.x - (int)event->x;
incr_y = pc.y - (int)event->y;
return true;
}
bool DrawingPanel::on_motion_notify_event(GdkEventMotion* event) {
if( buttonPressed ) {
point_t pc = figure.getCenter();
figure.setCenter(event->x + incr_x, event->y + incr_y);
queue_draw(); // update the figure
}
return true;
}
bool DrawingPanel::on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose* event) {
// ...
figure.draw(context); // draws the figure with the new center
coordinates
return true;
}
Now I have a second question. I would like to associate a region limits to
each figure and I don't know (I'm starting with gtkmm) if exists some class
to do this or not. The basic idea is drag the figure only when the mouse
pointer is over the region limits of the figure. I have no problem to do
this "from scratch" but better if gtkmm provides some utility class.
Thanks in advance and sorry if my english is not correct.
