Description Alexander Kurtz 2011-04-11 15:23:18 UTC 
I've attached bindings for the XTest extension (aka libxtst) and a small
demonstration program which will start/pause your music player.

This is how it should work:

        $ valac --pkg=x11 --pkg=xtst --vapidir=. Test.vala && ./Test 
        sizeof(char) = 1, sizeof(int) = 4, sizeof(long) = 4
        sizeof(X.KeyCode) = 1, sizeof(X.KeySym) = 4, sizeof(X.ID) = 4
        Display :0.0 opened
        String XF86AudioPlay has keysym 0x1008FF14
        Keysym 0x1008FF14 has keycode 172
        Keycode 172 pressed
        Keycode 172 released
        Display :0.0 flushed
        $

Please note that this patch needs the patch I submitted in #647464.

I'm looking forward to any comments/criticism/whatever! If everything is
ok, I would be happy if you could merge this into master.

xtst.vapi

cheader_filename must be set on every method.
Test must be a namespace not a class.
Also I'm unsure whether to use XTest namespace or X.Test.

Done.

Done.

I used X.Test so you can simply use "using X;"

Now that #647464 has been fixed, do you think this can be included?
Comment 8 Evan Nemerson 2012-01-22 21:14:16 UTC 
XTest would be more consistent with other bindings.
