This is probably a duofold issue. the first and most important part is that
in GTK RadioButton's don't handle events, because they are child controls..
which means that as long as the mousup is recievied by the parent, which it
almost always will be, the focused child, will recieve it. Since on mouse
down focuses the control there is almost no way as stands to ensure that the
mouse up event is NOT recieved by a radiobutton, or for the most part any
control, unless we override the event handler to our own ends in the GTK
interface. The other issue is as you have deduced.. ToggleButton
descendents recieve events before the state is changed, so it is hard to
determine because of the first problem wether it is going to change at all.
I actually dealt with this problem in some of my code.. somwhere about three
years ago. So if I can find the notes or code from then I may be able to
produce a hack to fix it.
However.. this goes back to the incompatibility of standard GTK
implementation of events versus Win32.. gaah.. I know. I will continue to
search for a solution to all of these problems which is not temporary
"hack", because GTK IS a powerful, and in many ways better design then
windows, capable of doing much to set these things up, but even all the
docs and howto's say this is a complex issue..( and when I hear that in the
C world I cringe)
