Widget.event

bool event(gdk.event.Event event)

Rarely-used function. This function is used to emit the event signals on a widget (those signals should never be emitted without using this function to do so). If you want to synthesize an event though, don’t use this function; instead, use [gtk.global.mainDoEvent] so the event will behave as if it were in the event queue. Don’t synthesize expose events; instead, use [gdk.window.Window.invalidateRect] to invalidate a region of the window.

Parameters

eventa #GdkEvent

Returns

return from the event signal emission (true if

the event was handled)
