I want to write a program that recognize the keys that user presses from keyboard and show that following a massage in label what function and signal should be used to distinguish and receive key types which user presses? :?: ...

Try this

Code: (Plaintext)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13	gint key_press (GtkWidget widget, GdkEventKey event) { printf("key pressed %d\n", event->keyval); return TRUE; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { ... code for building main window ... gtk_signal_connect (mainwin, "key-press-event", key_press, NULL); }

The key-press-event will cause key_press to get called every time a key is pressed (I think only while the main window is in focus).
