[platform-swt-dev] Event listeners relationship with GTK

[Ian Pun <ipun@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

I've been doing some code traversing for a few days to better understand 
how SWT handles events with uses of ___event.java, ___Listener.java, and 
____Adapter.java.

Now my main question is, where is the communication done between GTK to 
SWT in order for SWT events to have the correct information given from 
GTK? For example, say the user does a mouse event of clicking down. My 
understanding is is that Widget:windowProc will get the gtk event of the 
mouse down action, and deal with it using gtk_button_press_event(). But, 
how does it eventually run down to any event listeners that are hooked 
to SWT.MouseDown?

I am working on creating the Gestures event listener for GTK here and 
this information will help me greatly :
