Creation methods:

• public Event (EventType type)
  Creates a new event of the given type.

Methods:

• public Event copy ()
  Copies a Event, copying or incrementing the reference count of the resources associated with it (e.
• public void free ()
  Frees a Event, freeing or decrementing any resources associated with it.
• public bool get_axis (AxisUse axis_use, out double value)
  Extract the axis value for a particular axis use from an event structure.
• public bool get_button (out uint button)
  Extract the button number from an event.
• public bool get_click_count (out uint click_count)
  Extracts the click count from an event.
• public bool get_coords (out double x_win, out double y_win)
  Extract the event window relative x/y coordinates from an event.
• public unowned Device? get_device ()
  Returns the device of an event.
• public unowned DeviceTool get_device_tool ()
  Returns a `GdkDeviceTool` representing the tool that caused the event.
• public unowned EventSequence get_event_sequence ()
  Returns the event sequence to which the event belongs.
• public EventType get_event_type ()
  Retrieves the type of the event.
• public bool get_keycode (out uint16 keycode)
  Extracts the hardware keycode from an event.
• public bool get_keyval (out uint keyval)
  Extracts the keyval from an event.
• public bool get_pointer_emulated ()
  Returns whether this event is an 'emulated' pointer event.
• public bool get_root_coords (out double x_root, out double y_root)
  Extract the root window relative x/y coordinates from an event.
• public int get_scancode ()
  Gets the keyboard low-level scancode of a key event.

  Returns the screen for the event.
• public bool get_scroll_deltas (out double delta_x, out double delta_y)
  Retrieves the scroll deltas from a Event
• public bool get_scroll_direction (out ScrollDirection direction)
  Extracts the scroll direction from an event.
• public unowned Seat get_seat ()
  Returns the seat that originated the event.
• public unowned Device? get_source_device ()
  This function returns the hardware (slave) Device that has triggered the event, falling back to the virtual (master) device (as in get_device) if the event wasn’t caused by interaction with a hardware device.
• public bool get_state (out ModifierType state)
  If the event contains a “state” field, puts that field in state.
• public uint32 get_time ()
  Returns the timestamp of this.
• public unowned Window get_window ()
  Extracts the Window associated with an event.
• public bool is_scroll_stop_event ()
  Check whether a scroll event is a stop scroll event.
• public void put ()
  Appends a copy of the given event onto the front of the event queue for event->any.
• public void set_device (Device device)
  Sets the device for this to device.
• public void set_device_tool (DeviceTool? tool)
  Sets the device tool for this event, should be rarely used.
• public void set_screen (Screen screen)
  Sets the screen for this to screen.
• public void set_source_device (Device device)
  Sets the slave device for this to device.
• public bool triggers_context_menu ()
  Returns whether a `GdkEvent` should trigger a context menu, according to platform conventions.
