test_simulate_key

Description:

[ Version ( since = "2.14" ) ]
public bool test_simulate_key (Window window, int x, int y, uint keyval, ModifierType modifiers, EventType key_pressrelease)

This function is intended to be used in GTK+ test programs.

If (x,y) are > (-1,-1), it will warp the mouse pointer to the given (x,y) coordinates within window and simulate a key press or release event.

When the mouse pointer is warped to the target location, use of this function outside of test programs that run in their own virtual windowing system (e.g. Xvfb) is not recommended. If (x,y) are passed as (-1,-1), the mouse pointer will not be warped and window origin will be used as mouse pointer location for the event.

Also, test_simulate_key is a fairly low level function, for most testing purposes, gtk_test_widget_send_key is the right function to call which will generate a key press event followed by its accompanying key release event.

Parameters:

window	a Window to simulate a key event for
x	x coordinate within `window` for the key event
y	y coordinate within `window` for the key event
keyval	A GDK keyboard value
modifiers	Keyboard modifiers the event is setup with
key_pressrelease	either gdk_key_press or gdk_key_release

Returns:

whether all actions necessary for a key event simulation were carried out successfully
