[Gtk-sharp-list] Key Snooper

[Mathew McKernan]

Hi All,
 
I am working with the GTK# libraries at present, and I am trying to
initalise a key snooper. I successfully can call the snooper install
etc. However, when it looks like the snooper is being garbage collected
or similar before callback.
 
Mono ends up bailing out with a SIGSEGV, whereas windows exceptions with
a "CallbackOnCollectedDelegate".
 
Here is a stack trace from mono:
 
=================================================================

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates

a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 

used by your application.

Any ideas on what the problem is here? The code I used for the delegate
is below:


public class xxx {
	private uint gtkSnooperKey;
      private Gtk.KeySnoopFunc keyPressFunction;

	private void activateSnooper() {
		keyPressFunction = new
Gtk.KeySnoopFunc(snoopInputEvent);
           
            gtkSnooperKey = Gtk.Key.SnooperInstall(keyPressFunction);
      }

	public int snoopInputEvent(Gtk.Widget w, Gdk.EventKey args) {
            if (args.Type == Gdk.EventType.KeyPress) {
                Console.WriteLine("Got a keypress event");
		}
	}
}

Thanks for your help guys.


Thanks
