Hello, I'm trying to detect when the pointer enters or leaves the area of a drawing area, so I did the obvious thing of putting the drawing area in an event box and hooking callbacks up to its enter_notify_event and leave_notify_events.
This works fine, but I'm also getting enter and leave notifications when the mouse gets clicked inside the drawing area. Why does this happen, and what do I do to stop it? Following is the glade file and python code for the test script. Thanks in advance! -lars ------------------------------------ test.glade ------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?> <!--*- mode: xml -*--> <!DOCTYPE glade-interface SYSTEM "http://glade.gnome.org/glade-2.0.dtd"> <glade-interface> <widget class="GtkWindow" id="window1"> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="title" translatable="yes">window1</property> <property name="type">GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL</property> <property name="window_position">GTK_WIN_POS_NONE</property> <property name="modal">False</property> <property name="resizable">True</property> <property name="destroy_with_parent">False</property> <child> <widget class="GtkFrame" id="frame1"> <property name="border_width">42</property> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="label_xalign">0</property> <property name="label_yalign">0.5</property> <property name="shadow_type">GTK_SHADOW_ETCHED_IN</property> <child> <widget class="GtkEventBox" id="eventbox1"> <property name="visible">True</property> <signal name="enter_notify_event" handler="on_eventbox1_enter_notify_event" last_modification_time="Fri, 13 Jun 2003 20:49:46 GMT"/> <signal name="leave_notify_event" handler="on_eventbox1_leave_notify_event" last_modification_time="Fri, 13 Jun 2003 20:49:53 GMT"/> <child> <widget class="GtkDrawingArea" id="drawingarea1"> <property name="width_request">20</property> <property name="height_request">55</property> <property name="visible">True</property> </widget> </child> </widget> </child> <child> <widget class="GtkLabel" id="label1"> <property name="visible">True</property> <property name="label" translatable="yes">event box</property> <property name="use_underline">False</property> <property name="use_markup">False</property> <property name="justify">GTK_JUSTIFY_LEFT</property> <property name="wrap">False</property> <property name="selectable">False</property> <property name="xalign">0.5</property> <property name="yalign">0.5</property> <property name="xpad">0</property> <property name="ypad">0</property> </widget> <packing> <property name="type">label_item</property> </packing> </child> </widget> </child> </widget> </glade-interface> --------------------------------- test.py --------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env python2 import gtk from gtk import glade def enter(widget, event): print "enter" def leave(widget, event): print "leave" x = glade.XML('test.glade') x.signal_autoconnect({"on_eventbox1_enter_notify_event": enter, "on_eventbox1_leave_notify_event": leave}) x.get_widget('window1').connect('destroy', gtk.mainquit) gtk.mainloop() ___________________________________________________________ lars damerow button pusher pixar animation studios [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am... _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
