Hello,

From this code

using Gtk  
signal\_connect(my\_window , :window\_state\_event) do w , x  
println("type of x ", typeof(x) )  
println(“wind activate\_focus x :”,x)  
end  
I have always the same response whatever the state of the window :  
type of x Gtk.GdkEventAny  
wind activate\_focus x :Gtk.GdkEventAny(32, Ptr{Nothing} @0x00000000036586f0, 0)

What i want is the real state (focus iconify …) of my window.

Probably something like `gtk_get_property(w, :has_focus, Bool)`

- [Gtk.jl properties](https://juliagraphics.github.io/Gtk.jl/latest/manual/properties/)

- [Gtk.Widget has focus](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/property.Widget.has-focus.html)
