testSimulateButton

This function is intended to be used in GTK+ test programs. It will warp the mouse pointer to the given (x,y) coordinates within window and simulate a button press or release event. Because the mouse pointer needs to be warped to the target location, use of this function outside of test programs that run in their own virtual windowing system (e.g. Xvfb) is not recommended.

Also, gdk.global.testSimulateButton is a fairly low level function, for most testing purposes, gtk.global.testWidgetClick is the right function to call which will generate a button press event followed by its accompanying button release event.

Parameters

modifiers gdk.types.ModifierType
