GdkEventType

Specifies the type of the event. Do not confuse these events with the signals that GTK+ widgets emit. Although many of these events result in corresponding signals being emitted, the events are often transformed or filtered along the way. In some language bindings, the values GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS would translate into something syntactically invalid (eg Gdk.EventType.2ButtonPress, where a symbol is not allowed to start with a number). In that case, the aliases GDK_DOUBLE_BUTTON_PRESS and GDK_TRIPLE_BUTTON_PRESS can be used instead. GDK_NOTHING a special code to indicate a null event. GDK_DELETE the window manager has requested that the toplevel window be hidden or destroyed, usually when the user clicks on a special icon in the title bar. GDK_DESTROY the window has been destroyed. GDK_EXPOSE all or part of the window has become visible and needs to be redrawn. GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY the pointer (usually a mouse) has moved. GDK_BUTTON_PRESS a mouse button has been pressed. GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS a mouse button has been double-clicked (clicked twice within a short period of time). Note that each click also generates a GDK_BUTTON_PRESS event. GDK_DOUBLE_BUTTON_PRESS alias for GDK_2BUTTON_PRESS, added in 3.6. GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS a mouse button has been clicked 3 times in a short period of time. Note that each click also generates a GDK_BUTTON_PRESS event. GDK_TRIPLE_BUTTON_PRESS alias for GDK_3BUTTON_PRESS, added in 3.6. GDK_BUTTON_RELEASE a mouse button has been released. GDK_KEY_PRESS a key has been pressed. GDK_KEY_RELEASE a key has been released. GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY the pointer has entered the window. GDK_LEAVE_NOTIFY the pointer has left the window. GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE the keyboard focus has entered or left the window. GDK_CONFIGURE the size, position or stacking order of the window has changed. Note that GTK+ discards these events for GDK_WINDOW_CHILD windows. GDK_MAP the window has been mapped.
