✨ Gtk2::Gdk::Input ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Gtk2::Gdk::Input 💖 this is the lil corner of the gtk2-perl universe where you poke at how input events flow into your windows. it's giving "small but mighty", and honestly? we're obsessed.

🦋 METHODS 🦋

Gtk2::Gdk::Input->set_extension_events ($window, $mask, $mode)

the one and only method on this page, and she's a whole mood 💅 here's what she wants from you:

  • $window — a Gtk2::Gdk::Window, aka the window you're doing all this for
  • $mask — a Gtk2::Gdk::EventMask, aka which events you care about
  • $mode — a Gtk2::Gdk::ExtensionMode, aka how you want extension events to behave

that's it. that's the method. she ate and left no crumbs 🍓

🎀 ENUMS AND FLAGS 🎀

flags Gtk2::Gdk::EventMask

  • 'exposure-mask' / GDK_EXPOSURE_MASK
  • 'pointer-motion-mask' / GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK
  • 'pointer-motion-hint-mask' / GDK_POINTER_MOTION_HINT_MASK
  • 'button-motion-mask' / GDK_BUTTON_MOTION_MASK
  • 'button1-motion-mask' / GDK_BUTTON1_MOTION_MASK

twenty-two of them, no skips, no shortcuts 🌈 and yes 'all-events-mask' really said "I contain multitudes" 💀

enum Gtk2::Gdk::ExtensionMode

tiny enum, big energy 🧚 three options, all with their lowercase perl name and their GDK_ constant:

  • 'none' / GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_NONE
  • 'all' / GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_ALL
  • 'cursor' / GDK_EXTENSION_EVENTS_CURSOR
