Function
Gtkpropagate_event
Declaration [src]
void
gtk_propagate_event (
GtkWidget* widget,
GdkEvent* event
)
Description [src]
Sends an event to a widget, propagating the event to parent widgets if the event remains unhandled.
Events received by GTK+ from GDK normally begin in gtk_main_do_event(). Depending on the type of event, existence of modal dialogs, grabs, etc., the event may be propagated; if so, this function is used.
gtk_propagate_event() calls gtk_widget_event() on each widget it
decides to send the event to. So gtk_widget_event() is the lowest-level
function; it simply emits the GtkWidget::event and possibly an
event-specific signal on a widget. gtk_propagate_event() is a bit
higher-level, and gtk_main_do_event() is the highest level.
All that said, you most likely don’t want to use any of these
functions; synthesizing events is rarely needed. There are almost
certainly better ways to achieve your goals. For example, use
gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gtk_widget_queue_draw() instead
of making up expose events.
