WJG (20/07/08) gnocl handles event bindings in a slightly different way to Tk. Indeed, whilst I haven't compared them exactly, I expect that there might not be an exact mapping between Tk and Gtk+ bindings. In some ways, the Gnocl way of doing things may be a little simpler. Rather than having a separate command, ie. bind... , Gnocl uses event switches, more like the -command option found with Tk buttons. However, if we do want to implement some extra bindings here's a useful script. The example below relates to the gnocl::text widget. At the time of writing this page, the current version of the gnocl text widget (0.9.91) does not support events. This, however, is easily rectified. You will need to add a few lines, re-compile and install the code. All that is required is a few simple additions to the widget options union in the source as noted in the comments in the script. That is:
# Modifications to the the gnocl text.c code
#
# Insert the following options into the static GnoclOption textOptions[] array, recompile and re-install.
#
# { "-onKeyPress", GNOCL_OBJ, "P", gnoclOptOnKeyPress },
# { "-onKeyRelease", GNOCL_OBJ, "R", gnoclOptOnKeyRelease },
# { "-onButtonPress", GNOCL_OBJ, "P", gnoclOptOnButton },
# { "-onButtonRelease",GNOCL_OBJ, "R", gnoclOptOnButton },So, have a go and and play. Happy Gnocl-ing....
