pyGTK on Mouse over event ?

[Domenique.Tilleuil]

hello,

Is there an event simular to the java event onMouseOver ?
I want to get the coordinates of the mouse pointer when it is over an
image ( GTKImage widget)

I've tried using the EventBox with the motion_notify but that only
seems to work when the mouse is pressed ?

Why do you use an event box?
Image derives from Widget hence can be connected to the
motion-notify-event just like EventBox. Did you try directly?

if i add a motion_notify or even a butten_press event to an image
object it does absolutly nothing :s

I have tried coding a simple application in pyGTK and I remember I had
trouble getting button_press event in a DrawingArea.
I was using glade and despite having declared a handler to this event, I
had to manually call add_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_PRESS_MASK) (the connect
was ok but the event mask was not).
Have you checked this?

def __init__(self):
xml = gtk.glade.XML("/home/domenique/project1.glade")
self.window = xml.get_widget("window1")
self.img = xml.get_widget("image1")
self.img.set_from_file("./test.svg")
self.img.show()
self.img.add_events(gtk.gdk.BUTTON_MOTION_MASK)
xml.signal_autoconnect({
'on_window1_delete_event': self.on_window1_delete_event,
'on_window1_destroy_event': self.on_window1_destroy_event,
'on_image1_motion_notify_event': self.on_image1_motion_notify_event,
'on_image1_button_press_event': self.img_key_press,
})

This is the code so far. i've added the MOTION MASK to the image
widget, is that what u ment ?

Yes.
But I guess by your question it doesn't work better than before. Sorry I
didn't help much. :/

is triggert when the mouse moves over the eventbox ?

Actually I read too fast. I meant BUTTON_PRESS_MASK (not motion) for the
button_press_event.
For motion_notify_event, I guess it would be POINTER_MOTION_MASK (not
button).

the POINTER MOTION MASK doesn't do the trick either. This is the first
time i'm using python and pyGTK and it's really sad to see that a
simple mouseover is hard to program. :s

I've managed to get it all working !

I've used an Image inside an eventBox and used the motion notify event.
The trick was to add the Events in the Common tab of the Glade property
editor. Those where the MASK's you where talking about. Anyway, now it
works just fine Thx for the information and for pushing me into the
right direction
