Legal object event types:

(property change events)

       object:property-change
       object:property-change:accessible-name
       object:property-change:accessible-description
       object:property-change:accessible-parent
       object:property-change:accessible-value
       object:property-change:accessible-role
       object:property-change:accessible-table-caption
       object:property-change:accessible-table-column-description
       object:property-change:accessible-table-column-header
       object:property-change:accessible-table-row-description
       object:property-change:accessible-table-row-header
       object:property-change:accessible-table-summary

(other object events)

       object:state-changed
       object:children-changed
       object:visible-data-changed
       object:selection-changed
       object:text-selection-changed
       object:text-changed
       object:text-caret-moved
       object:row-inserted
       object:row-reordered
       object:row-deleted
       object:column-inserted
       object:column-reordered
       object:column-deleted
       object:model-changed
       object:active-descendant-changed

(screen reader events) screen-reader:region-changed

(window events)

       window:minimize
       window:maximize
       window:restore
       window:close
       window:create
       window:reparent
       window:desktop-create
       window:desktop-destroy
       window:activate
       window:deactivate
       window:raise
       window:lower
       window:move
       window:resize
       window:shade
       window:unshade
       window:restyle

(other events)

       focus:
       mouse:abs
       mouse:rel
       mouse:b1p
       mouse:b1r
       mouse:b2p
       mouse:b2r
       mouse:b3p
       mouse:b3r

NOTE: this character string may be UTF-8, but should not contain byte value 56 (ascii ‘:’), except as a delimiter, since non-UTF-8 string delimiting functions are used internally. In general, listening to toolkit-specific events is not recommended.

Currently, object:text-reading-position needs to be specified explicitly (it is not implied by object:text), since it is generated by the screen reader and is thus a special case internally.

Parameters

event_type

Type: const gchar*

A character string indicating the type of events for which notification is requested. Format is EventClass:major_type:minor_type:detail where all subfields other than EventClass are optional. EventClasses include “object”, “window”, “mouse”, and toolkit events (e.g. “Gtk”, “AWT”). Examples: “focus:”, “Gtk:GtkWidget:button_press_event”.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE if successful, otherwise FALSE.
