Hello, I am writing a X Window program based directly on Xlib. This program need to trace the positions of other windows. This program seems worked very well with the most X Apps which are based directly on Xlib. However, I suddently found that it will fault to the X Apps which are based on gtk+.
I looked into this problem for a while, and I found that the gtk+ based X Apps will not emit the XConfigureEvent when its window moved. More explicitly, if in my program I have the following codes: Window client_win; /* get the client_win which I want to monitor by some ways. */ XSelectInput(display, client_win, StructureNotifyMask); /* event loop */ while (1) { XNextEvent(display, &event); if (XFilterEvent(&event, None) == True) continue; switch (event.type) { case Expose: .... case ConfigureNotify: .... case DestroyNotify: .... } } then I will have the ability to monitor the position of the window of client_win, i.e., everytime when the client_win calls XMoveWindow() or XMoveResizeWindow(), it will emit the XConfigureEvent and will be captured by my program. This is the X11R6 standard. However, I found that somehow the gtk+ based X App does not follow this standard. :-((( So, my question is: Is this the spec or feature of gtk+? Or just a simple bug of gtk+? Will gtk+ follow this standard? If gtk+ will NEVER follow this standard, how could I write a 3rd party program to trace the positions of the gtk+ based X Apps? Thank you very much for your reply. :-)) Best Regards, T.H.Hsieh _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
