Hey, my aim is to simulate a keypress
public void send_eventkey(string keyname) { Gdk.Event event = new Gdk.Event(Gdk.EventType.KEY_PRESS); uint keyval = Gdk.keyval_from_name(keyname); Gdk.KeymapKey[] keys; Gdk.Keymap.get_default().get_entries_for_keyval(keyval, out keys); Gdk.Window* win = this.get_window(); event.key.window = win; event.key.send_event = (char)true; event.key.time = Gdk.CURRENT_TIME; event.key.state = Gdk.ModifierType.CONTROL_MASK; event.key.keyval = keyval; event.key.hardware_keycode = (uint16)keys[0].keycode; event.key.group = (uchar)keys[0].group; event.put(); } The above code results in Gdk-WARNING **: losing last reference to undestroyed window and a crashing widget. The problem seems to be the reference towards the widgets Gdk-Window ( this.get_window() ) which is then deleted because of no references in Vala-space (though it is still used within the lib). I tried using pointers to work around the Vala reference counting, but with no luck so far. Do you have any ideas regarding this problem? Best regards, Julius PS: The API in this area seems pretty nasty. Especially having to convert between ints and uchars, etc. shouldn't be necessary within the "official" gobject-style libs. _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
