Shutter

How are menus and tooltips captured?

Asked by Andrew

Hi, I was using Shutter and was wondering (from a code point of view) how menus and tooltips are actually captured?

If you could give me a quick explanation and even some pointers to the actual code I would really appreciate it, I was just curious :)

Thanks

The code is pretty simple:

Basically it is about finding the active (y-stacking) xwindow. Additionally we check the type_hint to see if it is a tooltip:
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/GtkWindow.html#gtk-window-get-type-hint

Is this information sufficient or would you like to know more about this?
