Key presses are handled with signals (which are like events, if you've used those before). Here's the appendix from the gtkmm book that's all about signals:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm-tutorial/unstable/chapter-signals.html.en Here's the API documentation which describes the precise interface for the key_pressed signal which is defined by the Gtk::Widget class (which most of the stuff in gtkmm derives from): http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtkmm/unstable/classGtk_1_1Widget.html#aa1a2371482cc55309d13c6f828e190f2 This is just a general description of signals and slots, in case you're not quite clear on them yet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_and_slots And here is a tutorial on connecting to signals with libsigc++, which is the signal library gtkmm uses: http://libsigc.sourceforge.net/libsigc2/docs/manual/html/ch02.html On Thu, 2010-05-06 at 12:50 +0000, talguy...@gmail.com wrote: > I am pretty new to the gtkmm and gui programming.
