I've been trying to detect click on a Gtk::Image
with gtkmm for over 2 hours, but I couldn't get it to work. It does compile and execute fine, but the event is never triggered.
Some stuff I tried, that compiles, does not crash, but doesn't work:
m_image = manage(new Gtk::Image(Gtk::Stock::APPLY, Gtk::ICON_SIZE_BUTTON));
m_image->add_events(Gdk::ALL_EVENTS_MASK);
m_hbox->pack_start(*m_image, Gtk::PACK_SHRINK);
m_image->signal_button_release_event()
.connect(sigc::hide(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &Todo::switchStatus)));
m_image->show();
or
#include <gtkmm/main.h>
#include <gtkmm/window.h>
#include <gtkmm/button.h>
#include <gtkmm/stock.h>
#include <gtkmm/image.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Win : public Gtk::Window
{
public:
Win();
bool link(GdkEventButton* e);
private:
Gtk::Image image;
};
Win::Win()
: image(Gtk::Stock::APPLY, Gtk::ICON_SIZE_BUTTON)
{
cerr << "created" << endl;
image.add_events(Gdk::BUTTON_PRESS_MASK | Gdk::BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK);
image.signal_button_release_event().connect(sigc::mem_fun(*this, &Win::link));
image.show();
add(image);
}
bool Win::link(GdkEventButton* e)
{
cerr << "kuh" << endl;
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
Gtk::Main app(argc, argv);
Gtk::Window window;
window.resize(300, 500);
Win win;
Gtk::Main::run(win);
return 0;
}
From http://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/unstable/classGtk_1_1Image.html:
Gtk::Image is a "no window" widget (has no Gdk::Window of its own), so by default does not receive events. If you want to receive events on the image, such as button clicks, place the image inside a Gtk::EventBox, then connect to the event signals on the event box
So I guess try to put a signal on an eventbox after wrapping the image with the EventBox.
