How to use events

[MGlolenstine]

I've noticed, that many Widgets have an events parameter.
I'm assuming that it's a mask, that allows you to filter the events that the view will or will not ignore.
But now I don't know how to implement that.
Does it have something to do with the connect macro?

Yes it's a mask of the values here https://gtk-rs.org/docs/gdk/struct.EventMask.html to enable emission/handling of those windowing system events.

You get notified about those events via the connect_XXX_event() signals.

Closing then!

Ok, but how would I go about adding a BUTTON_RELEASED or even just clicked on a Label?
Is that even possible, or would a workaround have to be used?

[sdroege]

You have to create a subclass of gtk::Widget and make use of the button_press_event() virtual method, for example. There are no signals for all events unfortunately.
