Hi!

I have a GtkMenu which I want to popup when a user clicks a button.
my function that is called when user clicks the button looks like this

void
on_zamowienia_button_print_clicked     (GtkButton       *button,
                                        gpointer         user_data)
{
...
}

How do I get the GdkEventButton here so I can pass the time and button
values to gtk_menu_popup ?

You cant,
     usualy you would use "button-press-event" for that.

I suppose generating the arguments for gtk_menu_popup() is no big deal
but why would you want to use a GtkButton to create a context menu ?

Cheers,
                             -Tristan

Note that "You can't" is an overstatement, you probably /could/ get
ahold of the "button-release-event" emmission which is being handled
by GtkButtonClass (hence the emmission of "clicked") but that would
just be an API abuse :)
