[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44672] Differences with figure/uicontrol between Octave and MATLAB

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #44672 (project octave):

Good news / bad news.  The good news is that I can see why gco is not being
updated when a pushbutton is pressed.  The bad news is that I'm not a GUI or
Qt expert and I don't know the best way to fix it.

The normal code to handle a MousePressEvent is found in
libgui/graphics/Canvas.cc.  See


  Canvas::canvasMousePressEvent (QMouseEvent *event)


However, when a pushbutton is activated the Canvas object apparently never
sees the event.  Instead, the code in ButtonControl.cc is executed


  ButtonControl::clicked (void)


That is the root of the problem.  Either the event needs to also be dispatched
to Canvas, or ButtonControl needs to borrow code from Canvas.cc to change the
CurrentObject property of the figure containing the button.
