Handling key presses in GTK+ (gtkD)


I'm playing around with gtkD (a D binding for GTK+)

I have a window object, instance of gtk.MainWindow. I want to handle keypresses on it.


PS I know these kinds of questions can be answered with google and stuff, but I've seen much "simpler" questions on stackoverflow, so I figured asking doesn't hurt.

Plus, sometimes, basic things tend to be burried under pages of documentation.


Solution

  • Here is sample code which may help

    import gdk.Keysyms; //keys enums are defined here
    
    private void func(Button sender)
    {
        //button pressed
    }
    
    but.addOnClicked(&func);
    
    private bool func2(GdkEventKey* ev, Widget sender)
    {
        if(ev.keyval == GdkKeysyms.GDK_Tab) 
            return true; //we handle Tab ourselves and prevents default behaviour
        else
            return false; //we didnt handle it so gtk does default behaviour
    }
    
    win.addOnKeyPress(&func2);
