GTK: Get co-ords of a mouse click in a window

Question

In GTK I can't figure out what callback to setup so that when the user clicks in a window, I can get the X/Y co-ords of the click.

Answer 1

You're looking for the button-press-event signal of GtkWidget.

Answer 2

The event param in the call back usually get's a x and a y member which are the mouse coordinates. If you need an example have a look at the gtk tutorial, there is the example code of a small drawing program, where you can see how to handle mouse events
