.AP Tk_Window tkwin in
|
|
Token for window in which events may occur.
|
|
.AP "unsigned long" mask in
|

Bit-mask of events (such as \fBButtonPressMask\fR)

Procedure to invoke whenever an event in \fImask\fR occurs

|
|
Arbitrary one-word value to pass to \fIproc\fR.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR arranges for \fIproc\fR to be
|
|
invoked in the future whenever one of the event types specified
|
|
by \fImask\fR occurs in the window specified by \fItkwin\fR.
|
|
The callback to \fIproc\fR will be made by \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR;
|
|
this mechanism only works in programs that dispatch events
|
|
through \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR (or through other Tk procedures that
|
|
call \fBTk_HandleEvent\fR, such as \fBTk_DoOneEvent\fR or
|
|
\fBTk_MainLoop\fR).
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the
|
|
type \fBTk_EventProc\fR:
|
|
.CS
|
|
typedef void Tk_EventProc(
|
|
ClientData \fIclientData\fR,
|
|
XEvent *\fIeventPtr\fR);
|
|
.CE
|
|
The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the \fIclientData\fR
|
|
argument given to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR when the callback
|
|
was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data
|
|
structure containing application-specific information about
|
|
the window in which the event occurred. \fIEventPtr\fR is
|
|
a pointer to the X event, which will be one of the ones
|
|
specified in the \fImask\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fBTk_DeleteEventHandler\fR may be called to delete a
|
|
previously-created event handler: it deletes the first handler
|
|
it finds that is associated with \fItkwin\fR and matches the
|
|
\fImask\fR, \fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR arguments. If
|
|
no such handler exists, then \fBTk_EventHandler\fR returns
|
|
without doing anything. Although Tk supports it, it's probably
|
|
a bad idea to have more than one callback with the same \fImask\fR,
|
|
\fIproc\fR, and \fIclientData\fR arguments.
|
|
When a window is deleted all of its handlers will be deleted
|
|
automatically; in this case there is no need to call
|
|
\fBTk_DeleteEventHandler\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If multiple handlers are declared for the same type of X event
|
|
on the same window, then the handlers will be invoked in the
|
|
order they were created.
