If you are making your own widget, sub-classed from Fl_Widget (FWIW I would usually subclass from Fl_Box instead, btw!) you are probably better just using the sub-classed handle() method to cope with the mouse clicks on your widget. That is a much more direct way to handle the clicks than trying to mess about getting the callback to do what you want. I'd guess there's worked examples of this on Greg's cheat-sheet: this one http://www.seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/#DraggableBoxes shows how to subclass from Fl_Box and write your own handle method. Simple enough to take that and extend it to detect your left/right mouse clicks instead. As to making the widget not participate in keyboard navigation (i.e. so you can't tab to it) then it should be enough to just do my_widget- >clear_visible_focus(); I quote the docs; "Disables keyboard focus navigation with this widget; normally, all widgets participate in keyboard focus navigation." -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
