StatusBar _mouseDown not fired

[Fabien Comte]

Hello,

I tried to implement a statusbar based on your exemple on my project. It's a Linux with touchscreen and _mouseDown is never called (i am sure that touch works because button events are ok)

static void _mouseDown(GWidgetObject* gw, coord_t x, coord_t y)
{
	printf("_mouseDown (%d,%d)\n", x, y); // never called
	// ...

in my main

void * events_function(void *arg)
{
	printf("events_function start\n");
	while(1) 
	{
		// Get an Event
		GEvent * pe = geventEventWait(&gl, 1000);

		// ...
	}
}


int main()
{
	// ... 

	geventListenerInit(&gl);
	gwinAttachListener(&gl);

	// ...


	if (pthread_create(&events_thread, NULL, events_function, NULL) == -1) 
	{
		perror("pthread_create events_thread");
		return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

	// ...

 

Do you have an idea of what can i check ?

Did you ensure that your _mouseDown() function is registered in the VMT?

Can you try to put the statusbar in the middle of the display to ensure that it's not some edge-touching issue.

Hello,

I will try that asap.

I tried without any success. Another test ?

Could it be because page containers and status bar overlap ?

It works for one page but not the others. How to manage statusbar parent if it's called in multiple pages ?

What do you mean by overlapping? The statusbar is a widget and can therefore either be in a container or not. It cannot be half way in one.

Can you please show screenshots/mockups of what you're trying to achieve?
A statusbar is usually not part of a page container as it's always visible.
