How to find the available signal name(s) for a specific wdget hierarchy

[MickPF (Michael Wachs)]

Hello,

I’m working on an application using GTK+ under linux.

I’ve defined a main window and a drawing area within it and no more hierarchy.

I’d like to start a dialog, when the user clicks a mouse button or touch the screen inside this drawing area. I can add events to the drawing area, but as I understand, I have to connect some signal names for these events. The documentation for drawing areas does not list any signals. But I found the signal names “configure-event” and “draw” available for the “GtkDrawingArea” in some example codes.

Can somebody help me please!

Kind Regards,
Michael

New style documentation includes signals inherited from parent classes (also available for GTK3).

For the old-style documentation, you have to click through the “Widget hierarchy” section yourself (although GtkWidget is usually the best bet).
