GdkEventButton

Used for button press and button release events. The @type field will be one of %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS, %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS or %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE,

Double and triple-clicks result in a sequence of events being received. For double-clicks the order of events will be:

- %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE - %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE

Note that the first click is received just like a normal button press, while the second click results in a %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS being received just after the %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS.

Triple-clicks are very similar to double-clicks, except that %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS is inserted after the third click. The order of the events is:

- %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE - %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE - %GDK_BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS - %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE

For a double click to occur, the second button press must occur within 1/4 of a second of the first. For a triple click to occur, the third button press must also occur within 1/2 second of the first button press.

button
uint button;

the button which was pressed or released, numbered from 1 to 5. Normally button 1 is the left mouse button, 2 is the middle button, and 3 is the right button. On 2-button mice, the middle button can often be simulated by pressing both mouse buttons together.

sendEvent
byte sendEvent;

%TRUE if the event was sent explicitly.

state
ModifierType state;

a bit-mask representing the state of the modifier keys (e.g. Control, Shift and Alt) and the pointer buttons. See #GdkModifierType.

time
uint time;

the time of the event in milliseconds.

type
GdkEventType type;

the type of the event (%GDK_BUTTON_PRESS, %GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS, %GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS or %GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE).

window
GdkWindow* window;

the window which received the event.

x
double x;

the x coordinate of the pointer relative to the window.

xRoot
double xRoot;

the x coordinate of the pointer relative to the root of the screen.

y
double y;

the y coordinate of the pointer relative to the window.

yRoot
double yRoot;

the y coordinate of the pointer relative to the root of the screen.
