test_simulate_key
Description:
[ Version ( since = "2.14" ) ]
public bool test_simulate_key (Window window, int x, int y, uint keyval, ModifierType modifiers, EventType key_pressrelease)
This function is intended to be used in GTK+ test programs.
If (x,y) are > (-1,-1), it will warp the mouse pointer to the given (x,y) coordinates
within window and simulate a key press or release event.
When the mouse pointer is warped to the target location, use of this function outside of test programs that run in their own virtual windowing
system (e.g. Xvfb) is not recommended. If (x,y) are passed as (-1,-1), the mouse pointer will not be warped and
window origin will be used as mouse pointer location for the event.
Also, test_simulate_key is a fairly low level function, for most testing purposes, gtk_test_widget_send_key
is the right function to call which will generate a key press event followed by its accompanying key release event.
Parameters:
| window |
a Window to simulate a key event for |
| x |
x coordinate within |
| y |
y coordinate within |
| keyval |
A GDK keyboard value |
| modifiers |
Keyboard modifiers the event is setup with |
| key_pressrelease |
either gdk_key_press or gdk_key_release |
Returns:
|
whether all actions necessary for a key event simulation were carried out successfully |
