When you receive these events, their structure members are set as follows.
The type
member is set to the event
type constant name that uniquely identifies it.
For example, when the X server reports a
GraphicsExpose event to a client application,
it sends an XGraphicsExposeEvent structure with
the type
member set to GraphicsExpose.
The display
member is set to a pointer
to the display the event was read on.
The send_event
member is set to True if
the event came from a SendEvent protocol request.
The serial
member is set from the serial number
reported in the protocol but expanded from the 16-bit
least-significant bits to a full 32-bit value.
The window
member is set to the window
that is most useful to toolkit dispatchers.
These structures have the following common members:
window
, root
, subwindow
,
time
, x
, y
, x_root
,
y_root
, state
, and same_screen
.
The window
member is set to the window on which the
event was generated and is referred to as the event window.
As long as the conditions previously discussed are met,
this is the window used by the X server to report the event.
The root
member is set to the source window's root window.
The x_root
and y_root
members are set to
the pointer's coordinates relative to the
root window's origin at the time of the event.
The same_screen
member is set to indicate whether
the event window is on the same screen as the root window
and can be either True or False.
If True,
the event and root windows are on the same screen.
If False,
the event and root windows are not on the same screen.
If the source window is an inferior of the event window,
the subwindow
member of the structure is set to the
child of the event window that is the source window or the child
of the event window that is an ancestor of the source window.
Otherwise, the X server sets the subwindow
member to
None.
The time
member is set to the time when the
event was generated and is expressed in milliseconds.
If the event window is on the same screen as the root window,
the x
and y
members
are set to the coordinates relative to the event window's origin.
Otherwise, these members are set to zero.
The state
member is set to indicate the logical state
of the pointer buttons and modifier keys just prior to the event,
which is the bitwise inclusive OR of one or more of the
button or modifier key masks:
Button1Mask, Button2Mask, Button3Mask,
Button4Mask, Button5Mask, ShiftMask,
LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask,
Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask, and
Mod5Mask.
Each of these structures also has a member that indicates the detail.
For the XKeyPressedEvent and XKeyReleasedEvent
structures, this member is called keycode
.
It is set to a number that represents a physical key on the keyboard.
The keycode is an arbitrary representation for any key on the keyboard
(see sections 12.7 and 16.1 in Xlib - C Language X Interface).
For the XButtonPressedEvent and
XButtonReleasedEvent structures,
this member is called button
.
It represents the pointer button that changed state and can
be the Button1, Button2, Button3,
Button4, or Button5 value.
For the XPointerMovedEvent structure,
this member is called is_hint
.
It can be set to NotifyNormal or NotifyHint.
