NAME

App::Chart::Gtk2::Ex::BindingBits -- helpers for Gtk2::BindingSet etc

SYNOPSIS

 use App::Chart::Gtk2::Ex::BindingBits;

FUNCTIONS

$bool = App::Chart::Gtk2::Ex::BindingBits::activate_button_event ($bindings, $event, $object)

Activate bindings for a button press $event. The return is true if a binding was found and activated or false if not.

$event should be a Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Button. The button number is turned into keyval Pointer_Button1 etc, modifiers get release-mask added if it's a button-release event, then simply

    $bindings->activate ($keyval, $modifiers, $object)

$bindings can be either a Gtk2::BindingSet object or a string name of a binding set for Gtk2::BindingSet->find. As of Gtk 2.18 there's keyvals for buttons 1 through 5. If $event->button is somehow another value then activate_button_event returns 0 as there cannot be any bindings for it.

See examples/binding-button-event.pl in the sources for a sample program.

OTHER NOTES

For reference, as of Gtk 2.18 the Gtk2::Object method $object->bindings_activate is no good for Pointer_Button1 etc as that bindings_activate trys to go from keyval to hardware keycode then back to keyvals, but there's normally no keycode for the pointer buttons, so it doesn't lookup anything in the BindingSet.
