gtkWidgetSetEvents {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkWidgetSetEvents

### Description

Sets the event mask (see `GdkEventMask`) for a widget. The event mask determines which events a widget will receive. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider `gtkWidgetAddEvents` for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with `GTK_NO_WINDOW` widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a `GtkEventBox` and receive events on the event box.

### Usage

    gtkWidgetSetEvents(object, events)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkWidget`
``events`` | event mask
