# Class GTK.Widget

Description

  The basic widget, inherited (directly or indirectly) by all widgets. Thus, all functions and signals defined in this widget works on all widgets.

  One of the most importat functions in this class is 'show', it lets GTK know that we are done setting the attributes of the widget, and it is ready to be displayed. You may also use hide to make it disappear again. The order in which you show the widgets is not important, but I suggest showing the toplevel window last so the whole window pops up at once rather than seeing the individual widgets come up on the screen as they're formed. The children of a widget (a window is a widget too) will not be displayed until the window itself is shown using the show() function.

  Signals: add_accelerator Called when an accelarator (keyboard shortcut) is added to the widget

  destroy_event Called when the widget is destroyed

  drag_begin Called when the drag is initiated, on the sending side

  drag_data_delete Called when the data can be safely deleted (there is no need to use this function in pigtk, it's all handled automatically)

  drag_data_get Called on the sending side when the drop is initiated

  drag_data_received Called on the receiving side when the drop is finished.

  drag_drop Called on the receiving side when the drop is initiated

  drag_end Called when the drag is finished, on the sending side
