Details¶

class Gdk.EventButton¶

Used for button press and button release events. The type field will be one of Gdk.EventType.BUTTON_PRESS, Gdk.EventType._2BUTTON_PRESS, Gdk.EventType._3BUTTON_PRESS or Gdk.EventType.BUTTON_RELEASE,

Double and triple-clicks result in a sequence of events being received. For double-clicks the order of events will be:

Note that the first click is received just like a normal button press, while the second click results in a Gdk.EventType._2BUTTON_PRESS being received just after the Gdk.EventType.BUTTON_PRESS.

Triple-clicks are very similar to double-clicks, except that Gdk.EventType._3BUTTON_PRESS is inserted after the third click. The order of the events is:

For a double click to occur, the second button press must occur within 1/4 of a second of the first. For a triple click to occur, the third button press must also occur within 1/2 second of the first button press.
