I'm sorry to say I have no experience using pygtk. My only gui experience is with Tkinter. In Tk you would do something like this to trap a right-click. # create the popup menu and add commands as needed self.menu = tk.Menu(self, tearoff=0) self.menu.add_command(label="Whatever", command=self.do_whatever) # bind the button with mouse right-click self.button.bind("", self.popup) # define the handler for the menu def do_whatever(self): # do whatever # define the popup handler, this displays the menu def popup(self, event): self.menu.post(event.x_root, event.y_root) I posted this on the off chance there might be a way to translate this to gtk code. -- GNU/Linux user #557453 "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness.

Since it took only a few lines of code to handle the "left" click, I assumed that like some other toolkits, it would be similarly easy to handle "right" and "middle". I don't have the time to re-invent the wheel at the moment, so this project will have to be postponed. -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!

You're looking at a couple of different, but related, things. The clicked() event means "the button was activated", which might have been caused by a mouse event, or possibly a keyboard or other activation. What you want is to react to other forms of mouse event. For that, you should be able to hook the generic widget handling... > After googling for some time, I haven't found any good answers.

What you'll get is button press and release events, and it'll be up to you to figure out if they represent clicks or not. But you'll get events for every mouse button that way.

pygtk button right/middle click
I'm trying to figure out how to get a pygtk button respond to somehting other than just a simple "left click". With a standard 3-button mouse, X11 provides at least 9 different "click" types, but the pygtk button only seems to support one of them. [Yes, I know there are left-handled mouse configurations -- by "left" click I'm using the common term to mean the primary mouse button.] After googling for some time, I haven't found any good answers. Some people just say things like "use the button_release_event signal of the button widget". But, that signal is depricated (and AFAICT still doesn't make the button actually respond to the left/middle click by "depressing" the way it should). Other answers are things like "you'll have to write you own button class in C, not C++". Is the gtk button widget really incapable of handling left or middle mouse buttons or shift/ctrl/alt modifiers? -- Grant Edwards grant.b.edwardsYow!
