Signal

GdkX11X11Display::xevent

Declaration

gboolean
xevent (
  GdkX11Display* self,
  gpointer xevent,
  gpointer user_data
)

Description [src]

The ::xevent signal is a low level signal that is emitted whenever an XEvent has been received.

When handlers to this signal return TRUE, no other handlers will be invoked. In particular, the default handler for this function is GDK’s own event handling mechanism, so by returning TRUE for an event that GDK expects to translate, you may break GDK and/or GTK+ in interesting ways. You have been warned.

If you want this signal handler to queue a GdkEvent, you can use gdk_display_put_event().

If you are interested in X GenericEvents, bear in mind that XGetEventData() has been already called on the event, and XFreeEventData() will be called afterwards.

Default handler:

The default handler is called after the handlers added via g_signal_connect().

Parameters

xevent

Type: gpointer

A pointer to the XEvent to process.

The argument can be NULL.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.

Return value

Type: gboolean

TRUE to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. FALSE to propagate the event further.
