GdkEventProximity

Description [src]

struct GdkEventProximity {
  GdkEventType type;
  GdkWindow* window;
  gint8 send_event;
  guint32 time;
  GdkDevice* device;
}

Proximity events are generated when using GDK’s wrapper for the XInput extension. The XInput extension is an add-on for standard X that allows you to use nonstandard devices such as graphics tablets. A proximity event indicates that the stylus has moved in or out of contact with the tablet, or perhaps that the user’s finger has moved in or out of contact with a touch screen.

This event type will be used pretty rarely. It only is important for XInput aware programs that are drawing their own cursor.

Structure members

type: The type of the event (GDK_PROXIMITY_IN or GDK_PROXIMITY_OUT).
window: The window which received the event.
send_event: TRUE if the event was sent explicitly.
time: The time of the event in milliseconds.
device: The master device that the event originated from. Use gdk_event_get_source_device() to get the slave device.
