EventController

open class EventController(pointer: <Error class: unknown class><<Error class: unknown class>>)

GtkEventController is the base class for event controllers.

These are ancillary objects associated to widgets, which react to GdkEvents, and possibly trigger actions as a consequence.

Event controllers are added to a widget with method@Gtk.Widget.add_controller. It is rarely necessary to explicitly remove a controller with method@Gtk.Widget.remove_controller.

See the chapter on input-handling.html for an overview of the basic concepts, such as the capture and bubble phases of event propagation.
