Hmm, this bothered me before... from the top of my head: An event is higher level. GTK? A signal is lower level. GDK?
An event is often a collection of signals and certain conditions. A button emits a "clicked" event when the mouse button is clicked (down, not moved off the button, and then up). The mouse-down would be a signal. OR... the Mouse-down event fires the Mouse-down signal. The difference here would be the user causes events, which emit signals, which are handled by the application. But the application can fire signals itself, without user input. I think the terms are often used interchangably. Anyone, please correct any false information. :) On 12/16/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > pygtk > I can not understand the differece between "Signal" and "Event", help > me, thank you > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]@gmail.com<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 2007-12-17 > > _______________________________________________ > pygtk mailing list [email protected] > http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk > Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/ > >
