Detailed Description

Abstract Widget (Base class for all widgets)

As the base class of all widgets this contains all of the properties and methods common to all widgets. It is an abstract class that can not be instantiated.

Important part of widgets are the *_event signals and virtual methods that every widget have. Those are events coming directly from gdk and thus also from XLib. By overriding those virtual methods you can trap everything a widget can ever do. In order to capture events from a widget, the event mask must first be set with ().

Only widgets with a Gdk::Window on the server side are allowed to capture events. Widgets in the Gtk::Misc group for example lack a Gdk::Window.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::Widget::~Widget ( )

virtual

Destroys the widget.

The widget will be automatically removed from the parent container.

Gtk::Widget::Widget ( )

protected

Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::Widget::activate ( )

For widgets that can be "activated" (buttons, menu items, etc.) this function activates them.

Activation is what happens when you press Enter on a widget during key navigation. If widget isn't activatable, the function returns false.

Returns:: true if the widget was activatable.

Reimplemented in Gtk::MenuItem.

void Gtk::Widget::add_accelerator	(	const Glib::ustring &	accel_signal,
		const Glib::RefPtr< AccelGroup >&	accel_group,
		guint	accel_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accel_mods,
		AccelFlags	accel_flags
	)

Installs an accelerator for this widget in accel_group that causes accel_signal to be emitted if the accelerator is activated.

The accel_group needs to be added to the widget's toplevel via Gtk::Window::add_accel_group(), and the signal must be of type SIGNAL_ACTION. Accelerators added through this function are not user changeable during runtime. If you want to support accelerators that can be changed by the user, use Gtk::AccelMap::add_entry() and set_accel_path() or Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_path() instead.

Parameters:

accel_signal	Widget signal to emit on accelerator activation.
accel_group	Accel group for this widget, added to its toplevel.
accel_key	GDK keyval of the accelerator.
accel_mods	Modifier key combination of the accelerator.
accel_flags	Flag accelerators, e.g. Gtk::ACCEL_VISIBLE.

void Gtk::Widget::add_device_events	(	const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Device >&	device,
		Gdk::EventMask	events
	)

Adds the device events in the bitfield events to the event mask for widget.

See set_device_events() for details.

\xrefitem since_3_0 281. @param device A Gdk::Device.
@param events An event mask, see Gdk::EventMask.

void Gtk::Widget::add_events ( Gdk::EventMask events )

Adds the events in the bitfield events to the event mask for widget.

See set_events() for details.

Parameters:

events An event mask, see Gdk::EventMask.

void Gtk::Widget::add_mnemonic_label ( Widget& label )

Adds a widget to the list of mnemonic labels for this widget.

(See list_mnemonic_labels()). Note the list of mnemonic labels for the widget is cleared when the widget is destroyed, so the caller must make sure to update its internal state at this point as well.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

label A Gtk::Widget that acts as a mnemonic label for widget.

void Gtk::Widget::add_modal_grab ( )

Block events to everything else than this widget and its children.

This way you can get modal behaviour (usually not recommended). One practical example could be when implementing a key-binding widget that needs exclusive access to the key combination that the user presses next.

Calls to add_modal_grab should be paired with calls to remove_modal_grab.

bool Gtk::Widget::child_focus ( DirectionType direction )

This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're writing an app, you'd use grab_focus() to move the focus to a particular widget, and Gtk::Container::set_focus_chain() to change the focus tab order.

So you may want to investigate those functions instead.

child_focus() is called by containers as the user moves around the window using keyboard shortcuts. direction indicates what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab forward, tab backward). child_focus() emits the Gtk::Widget::signal_focus() signal; widgets override the default handler for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.

The default signal_focus() handler for a widget should return true if moving in direction left the focus on a focusable location inside that widget, and false if moving in direction moved the focus outside the widget. If returning true, widgets normally call grab_focus() to place the focus accordingly; if returning false, they don't modify the current focus location.

Parameters:

direction Direction of focus movement.

Returns:: true if focus ended up inside widget.

void Gtk::Widget::child_notify ( const Glib::ustring & child_property )

Emits a Gtk::Widget::signal_child_notify() signal for the child property child_property on widget.

This is the analogue of Glib::object_notify() for child properties.

Also see Gtk::Container::child_notify().

Parameters:

child_property The name of a child property installed on the class of widget's parent.

bool Gtk::Widget::compute_expand ( Orientation orientation )

Computes whether a container should give this widget extra space when possible.

Containers should check this, rather than looking at get_hexpand() or get_vexpand().

This function already checks whether the widget is visible, so visibility does not need to be checked separately. Non-visible widgets are not expanded.

The computed expand value uses either the expand setting explicitly set on the widget itself, or, if none has been explicitly set, the widget may expand if some of its children do.

Parameters:

orientation Expand direction.

Returns:: Whether widget tree rooted here should be expanded.

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Context> Gtk::Widget::create_pango_context ( )

Creates a new Pango::Context with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

See also gtk_grab_add().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if the widget is in the grab_widgets stack.

bool Gtk::Widget::has_screen ( ) const

Checks whether there is a Gdk::Screen is associated with this widget.

All toplevel widgets have an associated screen, and all widgets added into a hierarchy with a toplevel window at the top.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Returns:: true if there is a Gdk::Screen associcated with the widget.

bool Gtk::Widget::has_visible_focus ( ) const

Determines if the widget should show a visible indication that it has the global input focus.

This is a convenience function for use in signal_draw() handlers that takes into account whether focus indication should currently be shown in the toplevel window of widget. See Gtk::Window::get_focus_visible() for more information about focus indication.

To find out if the widget has the global input focus, use has_focus().

Since gtkmm 3.2:

Returns:: true if the widget should display a 'focus rectangle'.

void Gtk::Widget::hide ( )

Reverses the effects of show(), causing the widget to be hidden (invisible to the user).

bool Gtk::Widget::in_destruction ( ) const

Returns whether the widget is currently being destroyed.

This information can sometimes be used to avoid doing unnecessary work.

Returns:: true if widget is being destroyed.

void Gtk::Widget::input_shape_combine_region ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< const ::Cairo::Region > & region )

Sets an input shape for this widget's GDK window.

This allows for windows which react to mouse click in a nonrectangular region, see gdk_window_input_shape_combine_region() for more information.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

region Shape to be added, or 0 to remove an existing shape.

void Gtk::Widget::insert_action_group	(	const Glib::ustring &	name,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::ActionGroup > &	group
	)

protected

Inserts group into widget.

Children of widget that implement Gtk::Actionable can then be associated with actions in group by setting their 'action-name' to prefix.<replaceable>action-name</replaceable>.

Since gtkmm 3.6:

Parameters:

name	The prefix for actions in group.
group	A ActionGroup.

bool Gtk::Widget::intersect ( const Gdk::Rectangle& area ) const

bool Gtk::Widget::intersect	(	const Gdk::Rectangle&	area,
		Gdk::Rectangle&	intersection
	)		const

Computes the intersection of a widget's area and area, storing the intersection in intersection, and returns true if there was an intersection.

intersection may be 0 if you're only interested in whether there was an intersection.

Parameters:

area	A rectangle.
intersection	Rectangle to store intersection of widget and area.

Returns:: true if there was an intersection.

bool Gtk::Widget::is_ancestor ( Widget& ancestor ) const

Determines whether widget is somewhere inside ancestor, possibly with intermediate containers.

Parameters:

ancestor Another Gtk::Widget.

Returns:: true if ancestor contains widget as a child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc.

bool Gtk::Widget::is_composited ( ) const

Whether widget can rely on having its alpha channel drawn correctly.

On X11 this function returns whether a compositing manager is running for widget's screen.

Please note that the semantics of this call will change in the future if used on a widget that has a composited window in its hierarchy (as set by gdk_window_set_composited()).

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Returns:: true if the widget can rely on its alpha channel being drawn correctly.

bool Gtk::Widget::is_focus ( ) const

Determines if the widget is the focus widget within its toplevel.

(This does not mean that the HAS_FOCUS flag is necessarily set; HAS_FOCUS will only be set if the toplevel widget additionally has the global input focus.)

Returns:: true if the widget is the focus widget.

bool Gtk::Widget::is_sensitive ( ) const

Returns the widget's effective sensitivity, which means it is sensitive itself and also its parent widget is sensitive.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if the widget is effectively sensitive.

bool Gtk::Widget::keynav_failed ( DirectionType direction )

This function should be called whenever keyboard navigation within a single widget hits a boundary.

The function emits the Gtk::Widget::signal_keynav_failed() signal on the widget and its return value should be interpreted in a way similar to the return value of child_focus():

When true is returned, stay in the widget, the failed keyboard navigation is Ok and/or there is nowhere we can/should move the focus to.

When false is returned, the caller should continue with keyboard navigation outside the widget, e.g. by calling child_focus() on the widget's toplevel.

The default signal_keynav_failed() handler returns true for Gtk::DIR_TAB_FORWARD and Gtk::DIR_TAB_BACKWARD. For the other values of Gtk::DirectionType, it looks at the Gtk::Settings::property_gtk_keynav_cursor_only() setting and returns false if the setting is true. This way the entire user interface becomes cursor-navigatable on input devices such as mobile phones which only have cursor keys but no tab key.

Whenever the default handler returns true, it also calls error_bell() to notify the user of the failed keyboard navigation.

A use case for providing an own implementation of signal_keynav_failed() (either by connecting to it or by overriding it) would be a row of Gtk::Entry widgets where the user should be able to navigate the entire row with the cursor keys, as e.g. known from user interfaces that require entering license keys.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

direction Direction of focus movement.

Returns:: true if stopping keyboard navigation is fine, false if the emitting widget should try to handle the keyboard navigation attempt in its parent container(s).

std::vector<Widget*> Gtk::Widget::list_mnemonic_labels ( )

Returns a newly allocated list of the widgets, normally labels, for which this widget is the target of a mnemonic (see for example, Gtk::Label::set_mnemonic_widget()).

The widgets in the list are not individually referenced. If you want to iterate through the list and perform actions involving callbacks that might destroy the widgets, you must call g_list_foreach (result, (GFunc)g_object_ref, 0) first, and then unref all the widgets afterwards.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Returns:: The list of mnemonic labels; free this list with Glib::list_free() when you are done with it.

std::vector<const Widget*> Gtk::Widget::list_mnemonic_labels ( ) const

Returns a newly allocated list of the widgets, normally labels, for which this widget is the target of a mnemonic (see for example, Gtk::Label::set_mnemonic_widget()).

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Returns:: The list of mnemonic labels; free this list with Glib::list_free() when you are done with it.

void Gtk::Widget::map ( )

This function is only for use in widget implementations.

Causes a widget to be mapped if it isn't already.

bool Gtk::Widget::mnemonic_activate ( bool group_cycling )

Emits the Gtk::Widget::signal_mnemonic_activate() signal.

The default handler for this signal activates the widget if group_cycling is false, and just grabs the focus if group_cycling is true.

Parameters:

group_cycling true if there are other widgets with the same mnemonic.

Returns:: true if the signal has been handled.

static void Gtk::Widget::push_composite_child ( )

static

Makes all newly-created widgets as composite children until the corresponding pop_composite_child() call.

A composite child is a child that's an implementation detail of the container it's inside and should not be visible to people using the container. Composite children aren't treated differently by GTK (but see Gtk::Container::foreach() vs. Gtk::Container::forall()), but e.g. GUI builders might want to treat them in a different way.

Here is a simple example:

[C example ellipted]

void Gtk::Widget::queue_compute_expand ( )

Mark widget as needing to recompute its expand flags.

Call this function when setting legacy expand child properties on the child of a container.

See compute_expand().

void Gtk::Widget::queue_draw ( )

Equivalent to calling queue_draw_area() for the entire area of a widget.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_draw_area	(	int	x,
		int	y,
		int	width,
		int	height
	)

Convenience function that calls queue_draw_region() on the region created from the given coordinates.

The region here is specified in widget coordinates. Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as widget->window coordinates for widgets that are not Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets, and are relative to widget->allocation.x, widget->allocation.y for widgets that are Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets.

Parameters:

x	X coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw.
y	Y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw.
width	Width of region to draw.
height	Height of region to draw.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_draw_region ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< const ::Cairo::Region > & region )

Invalidates the rectangular area of widget defined by region by calling gdk_window_invalidate_region() on the widget's window and all its child windows.

Once the main loop becomes idle (after the current batch of events has been processed, roughly), the window will receive expose events for the union of all regions that have been invalidated.

Normally you would only use this function in widget implementations. You might also use it to schedule a redraw of a Gtk::DrawingArea or some portion thereof.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

region Region to draw.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_resize ( )

This function is only for use in widget implementations.

Flags a widget to have its size renegotiated; should be called when a widget for some reason has a new size request. For example, when you change the text in a Gtk::Label, Gtk::Label queues a resize to ensure there's enough space for the new text.

<note>You cannot call queue_resize() on a widget from inside its implementation of the GtkWidgetClass::size_allocate virtual method. Calls to queue_resize() from inside GtkWidgetClass::size_allocate will be silently ignored.</note>

void Gtk::Widget::queue_resize_no_redraw ( )

This function works like queue_resize(), except that the widget is not invalidated.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

void Gtk::Widget::realize ( )

protected

Creates the GDK (windowing system) resources associated with a widget.

For example, widget->window will be created when a widget is realized. Normally realization happens implicitly; if you show a widget and all its parent containers, then the widget will be realized and mapped automatically.

Realizing a widget requires all the widget's parent widgets to be realized; calling realize() realizes the widget's parents in addition to widget itself. If a widget is not yet inside a toplevel window when you realize it, bad things will happen.

This function is primarily used in widget implementations, and isn't very useful otherwise. Many times when you think you might need it, a better approach is to connect to a signal that will be called after the widget is realized automatically, such as Gtk::Widget::signal_draw(). Or simply Glib::signal_connect() to the Gtk::Widget::signal_realize() signal.

void Gtk::Widget::realize_if_needed ( )

protected

::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Region> Gtk::Widget::region_intersect ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Region > & region ) const

Computes the intersection of a widget's area and region, returning the intersection.

The result may be empty, use cairo_region_is_empty() to check.

Parameters:

region A #cairo_region_t, in the same coordinate system as widget->allocation. That is, relative to widget->window for NO_WINDOW widgets; relative to the parent window of widget->window for widgets with their own window.

Returns:: A newly allocated region holding the intersection of widget and region. The coordinates of the return value are relative to widget->window for NO_WINDOW widgets, and relative to the parent window of widget->window for widgets with their own window.

bool Gtk::Widget::remove_accelerator	(	const Glib::RefPtr< AccelGroup >&	accel_group,
		guint	accel_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accel_mods
	)

Removes an accelerator from widget, previously installed with add_accelerator().

Parameters:

accel_group	Accel group for this widget.
accel_key	GDK keyval of the accelerator.
accel_mods	Modifier key combination of the accelerator.

Returns:: Whether an accelerator was installed and could be removed.

void Gtk::Widget::remove_mnemonic_label ( Widget& label )

Removes a widget from the list of mnemonic labels for this widget.

(See list_mnemonic_labels()). The widget must have previously been added to the list with add_mnemonic_label().

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

label A Gtk::Widget that was previously set as a mnemnic label for widget with add_mnemonic_label().

void Gtk::Widget::remove_modal_grab ( )

Remove the modal grab of the widget in case it was previously grabbed.

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gtk::Widget::render_icon_pixbuf	(	const StockID&	stock_id,
		IconSize	size
	)

A convenience function that uses the theme engine and style settings for widget to look up stock_id and render it to a pixbuf.

stock_id should be a stock icon ID such as Gtk::STOCK_OPEN or Gtk::STOCK_OK. size should be a size such as Gtk::ICON_SIZE_MENU.

The pixels in the returned Gdk::Pixbuf are shared with the rest of the application and should not be modified. The pixbuf should be freed after use with Glib::object_unref().

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

stock_id	A stock ID.
size	A stock size. A size of (GtkIconSize)-1 means render at the size of the source and don't scale (if there are multiple source sizes, GTK+ picks one of the available sizes).

Returns:: A new pixbuf, or 0 if the stock ID wasn't known.

void Gtk::Widget::reparent ( Widget& new_parent )

Moves a widget from one Gtk::Container to another, handling reference count issues to avoid destroying the widget.

Parameters:

new_parent A Gtk::Container to move the widget into.

void Gtk::Widget::reset_style ( )

Updates the style context of widget and all descendents by updating its widget path.

Gtk::Containers may want to use this on a child when reordering it in a way that a different style might apply to it. See also Gtk::Container::get_path_for_child().

Since gtkmm 3.0:

int Gtk::Widget::send_expose ( GdkEvent * event )

Very rarely-used function.

This function is used to emit an expose event on a widget. This function is not normally used directly. The only time it is used is when propagating an expose event to a child NO_WINDOW widget, and that is normally done using Gtk::Container::propagate_draw().

If you want to force an area of a window to be redrawn, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region(). To cause the redraw to be done immediately, follow that call with a call to gdk_window_process_updates().

Parameters:

event A expose Gdk::Event.

Returns:: Return from the event signal emission (true if the event was handled).

bool Gtk::Widget::send_focus_change ( GdkEvent * event )

Sends the focus change event to widget.

This function is not meant to be used by applications. The only time it should be used is when it is necessary for a Gtk::Widget to assign focus to a widget that is semantically owned by the first widget even though it's not a direct child - for instance, a search entry in a floating window similar to the quick search in Gtk::TreeView.

An example of its usage is:

[C example ellipted]

Since gtkmm 2.20:

Parameters:

event A Gdk::Event of type GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE.

Returns:: The return value from the event signal emission: true if the event was handled, and false otherwise.

void Gtk::Widget::set_accel_path	(	const Glib::ustring &	accel_path,
		const Glib::RefPtr< AccelGroup >&	accel_group
	)

Given an accelerator group, accel_group, and an accelerator path, accel_path, sets up an accelerator in accel_group so whenever the key binding that is defined for accel_path is pressed, widget will be activated.

This removes any accelerators (for any accelerator group) installed by previous calls to set_accel_path(). Associating accelerators with paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications to be saved for future use. (See Gtk::AccelMap::save().)

This function is a low level function that would most likely be used by a menu creation system like Gtk::UIManager. If you use Gtk::UIManager, setting up accelerator paths will be done automatically.

Even when you you aren't using Gtk::UIManager, if you only want to set up accelerators on menu items Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_path() provides a somewhat more convenient interface.

Note that accel_path string will be stored in a Quark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with Glib::intern_static_string().

Parameters:

accel_path	Path used to look up the accelerator.
accel_group	A Gtk::AccelGroup.

void Gtk::Widget::set_allocation ( const Allocation& allocation )

Sets the widget's allocation.

This should not be used directly, but from within a widget's size_allocate method.

The allocation set should be the "adjusted" or actual allocation. If you're implementing a Gtk::Container, you want to use size_allocate() instead of set_allocation(). The GtkWidgetClass::adjust_size_allocation virtual method adjusts the allocation inside size_allocate() to create an adjusted allocation.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

allocation A pointer to a Gtk::Allocation to copy from.

void Gtk::Widget::set_app_paintable ( bool app_paintable = true )

Sets whether the application intends to draw on the widget in an Gtk::Widget::signal_draw() handler.

This is a hint to the widget and does not affect the behavior of the GTK+ core; many widgets ignore this flag entirely. For widgets that do pay attention to the flag, such as Gtk::EventBox and Gtk::Window, the effect is to suppress default themed drawing of the widget's background. (Children of the widget will still be drawn.) The application is then entirely responsible for drawing the widget background.

Note that the background is still drawn when the widget is mapped.

Parameters:

app_paintable true if the application will paint on the widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_can_default ( bool can_default = true )

Specifies whether widget can be a default widget.

See grab_default() for details about the meaning of "default".

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

can_default Whether or not widget can be a default widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_can_focus ( bool can_focus = true )

Specifies whether widget can own the input focus.

See grab_focus() for actually setting the input focus on a widget.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

can_focus Whether or not widget can own the input focus.

void Gtk::Widget::set_child_visible ( bool is_visible = true )

Sets whether widget should be mapped along with its when its parent is mapped and widget has been shown with show().

The child visibility can be set for widget before it is added to a container with set_parent(), to avoid mapping children unnecessary before immediately unmapping them. However it will be reset to its default state of true when the widget is removed from a container.

Note that changing the child visibility of a widget does not queue a resize on the widget. Most of the time, the size of a widget is computed from all visible children, whether or not they are mapped. If this is not the case, the container can queue a resize itself.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

Parameters:

is_visible If true, widget should be mapped along with its parent.

void Gtk::Widget::set_composite_name ( const Glib::ustring & name )

Sets a widgets composite name.

The widget must be a composite child of its parent; see push_composite_child().

Parameters:

name	The name to set.

static void Gtk::Widget::set_default_direction ( TextDirection dir )

static

Sets the default reading direction for widgets where the direction has not been explicitly set by set_direction().

Parameters:

dir	The new default direction. This cannot be Gtk::TEXT_DIR_NONE.

void Gtk::Widget::set_device_enabled	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Device >&	device,
		bool	enabled = `true`
	)

Enables or disables a Gdk::Device to interact with widget and all its children.

It does so by descending through the Gdk::Window hierarchy and enabling the same mask that is has for core events (i.e. the one that gdk_window_get_events() returns).

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

device	A Gdk::Device.
enabled	Whether to enable the device.

void Gtk::Widget::set_device_events	(	const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Device >&	device,
		Gdk::EventMask	events
	)

Sets the device event mask (see Gdk::EventMask) for a widget.

The event mask determines which events a widget will receive from device. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider add_device_events() for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a Gtk::EventBox and receive events on the event box.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

device	A Gdk::Device.
events	Event mask.

void Gtk::Widget::set_direction ( TextDirection dir )

Sets the reading direction on a particular widget.

This direction controls the primary direction for widgets containing text, and also the direction in which the children of a container are packed. The ability to set the direction is present in order so that correct localization into languages with right-to-left reading directions can be done. Generally, applications will let the default reading direction present, except for containers where the containers are arranged in an order that is explicitely visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).

If the direction is set to Gtk::TEXT_DIR_NONE, then the value set by set_default_direction() will be used.

Parameters:

dir	The new direction.

void Gtk::Widget::set_double_buffered ( bool double_buffered = true )

Widgets are double buffered by default; you can use this function to turn off the buffering.

"Double buffered" simply means that gdk_window_begin_paint_region() and gdk_window_end_paint() are called automatically around expose events sent to the widget. gdk_window_begin_paint_region() diverts all drawing to a widget's window to an offscreen buffer, and gdk_window_end_paint() draws the buffer to the screen. The result is that users see the window update in one smooth step, and don't see individual graphics primitives being rendered.

In very simple terms, double buffered widgets don't flicker, so you would only use this function to turn off double buffering if you had special needs and really knew what you were doing.

Note:: if you turn off double-buffering, you have to handle expose events, since even the clearing to the background color or pixmap will not happen automatically (as it is done in gdk_window_begin_paint_region()).

Parameters:

double_buffered true to double-buffer a widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_events ( Gdk::EventMask events )

Sets the event mask (see Gdk::EventMask) for a widget.

The event mask determines which events a widget will receive. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider add_events() for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a Gtk::EventBox and receive events on the event box.

Parameters:

events Event mask.

void Gtk::Widget::set_halign ( Align align )

Sets the horizontal alignment of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_halign() property.

Parameters:

align The horizontal alignment.

void Gtk::Widget::set_has_tooltip ( bool has_tooltip = TRUE )

Sets the has-tooltip property on widget to has_tooltip.

See Gtk::Widget::property_has_tooltip() for more information.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

has_tooltip Whether or not widget has a tooltip.

void Gtk::Widget::set_has_window ( bool has_window = true )

protected

Specifies whether widget has a Gdk::Window of its own.

Note that all realized widgets have a non-0 "window" pointer (get_window() never returns a 0 window when a widget is realized), but for many of them it's actually the Gdk::Window of one of its parent widgets. Widgets that do not create a window for themselves in Gtk::Widget::signal_realize() must announce this by calling this function with has_window = false.

This function should only be called by widget implementations, and they should call it in their init() function.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

has_window Whether or not widget has a window.

void Gtk::Widget::set_hexpand ( bool expand = true )

Sets whether the widget would like any available extra horizontal space.

When a user resizes a Gtk::Window, widgets with expand=true generally receive the extra space. For example, a list or scrollable area or document in your window would often be set to expand.

Call this function to set the expand flag if you would like your widget to become larger horizontally when the window has extra room.

By default, widgets automatically expand if any of their children want to expand. (To see if a widget will automatically expand given its current children and state, call compute_expand(). A container can decide how the expandability of children affects the expansion of the container by overriding the compute_expand virtual method on Gtk::Widget.).

Setting hexpand explicitly with this function will override the automatic expand behavior.

This function forces the widget to expand or not to expand, regardless of children. The override occurs because set_hexpand() sets the hexpand-set property (see set_hexpand_set()) which causes the widget's hexpand value to be used, rather than looking at children and widget state.

Parameters:

expand Whether to expand.

void Gtk::Widget::set_hexpand_set ( bool set = true )

Sets whether the hexpand flag (see get_hexpand()) will be used.

The hexpand-set property will be set automatically when you call set_hexpand() to set hexpand, so the most likely reason to use this function would be to unset an explicit expand flag.

If hexpand is set, then it overrides any computed expand value based on child widgets. If hexpand is not set, then the expand value depends on whether any children of the widget would like to expand.

There are few reasons to use this function, but it's here for completeness and consistency.

Parameters:

set	Value for hexpand-set property.

void Gtk::Widget::set_mapped ( bool mapped = true )

protected

Marks the widget as being realized.

This function should only ever be called in a derived widget's "map" or "unmap" implementation.

Since gtkmm 2.20:

Parameters:

mapped true to mark the widget as mapped.

void Gtk::Widget::set_margin_bottom ( int margin )

Sets the bottom margin of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_margin_bottom() property.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

margin The bottom margin.

void Gtk::Widget::set_margin_left ( int margin )

Sets the left margin of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_margin_left() property.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

margin The left margin.

void Gtk::Widget::set_margin_right ( int margin )

Sets the right margin of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_margin_right() property.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

margin The right margin.

void Gtk::Widget::set_margin_top ( int margin )

Sets the top margin of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_margin_top() property.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

margin The top margin.

void Gtk::Widget::set_name ( const Glib::ustring & name )

Widgets can be named, which allows you to refer to them from a CSS file.

You can apply a style to widgets with a particular name in the CSS file. See the documentation for the CSS syntax (on the same page as the docs for Gtk::StyleContext).

Note that the CSS syntax has certain special characters to delimit and represent elements in a selector (period, #, >, *...), so using these will make your widget impossible to match by name. Any combination of alphanumeric symbols, dashes and underscores will suffice.

Parameters:

name	Name for the widget.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Buildable.

void Gtk::Widget::set_no_show_all ( bool no_show_all = true )

Sets the Gtk::Widget::property_no_show_all() property, which determines whether calls to show_all() will affect this widget.

This is mostly for use in constructing widget hierarchies with externally controlled visibility, see Gtk::UIManager.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters:

no_show_all The new value for the "no-show-all" property.

void Gtk::Widget::set_parent ( Widget& parent )

This function is useful only when implementing subclasses of Gtk::Container.

Sets the container as the parent of widget, and takes care of some details such as updating the state and style of the child to reflect its new location. The opposite function is unparent().

Parameters:

parent Parent container.

void Gtk::Widget::set_parent_window ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Window >& parent_window )

Sets a non default parent window for widget.

For GtkWindow classes, setting a parent_window effects whether the window is a toplevel window or can be embedded into other widgets.

<note> For GtkWindow classes, this needs to be called before the window is realized. </note>

Parameters:

parent_window The new parent window.

void Gtk::Widget::set_realized ( bool realized = true )

protected

Marks the widget as being realized.

This function should only ever be called in a derived widget's "realize" or "unrealize" implementation.

Since gtkmm 2.20:

Parameters:

realized true to mark the widget as realized.

void Gtk::Widget::set_receives_default ( bool receives_default = true )

Specifies whether widget will be treated as the default widget within its toplevel when it has the focus, even if another widget is the default.

See grab_default() for details about the meaning of "default".

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

receives_default Whether or not widget can be a default widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_redraw_on_allocate ( bool redraw_on_allocate = true )

Sets whether the entire widget is queued for drawing when its size allocation changes.

By default, this setting is true and the entire widget is redrawn on every size change. If your widget leaves the upper left unchanged when made bigger, turning this setting off will improve performance.

Note that for NO_WINDOW widgets setting this flag to false turns off all allocation on resizing: the widget will not even redraw if its position changes; this is to allow containers that don't draw anything to avoid excess invalidations. If you set this flag on a NO_WINDOW widget that does draw on widget->window, you are responsible for invalidating both the old and new allocation of the widget when the widget is moved and responsible for invalidating regions newly when the widget increases size.

Parameters:

redraw_on_allocate If true, the entire widget will be redrawn when it is allocated to a new size. Otherwise, only the new portion of the widget will be redrawn.

void Gtk::Widget::set_sensitive ( bool sensitive = true )

Sets the sensitivity of a widget.

A widget is sensitive if the user can interact with it. Insensitive widgets are "grayed out" and the user can't interact with them. Insensitive widgets are known as "inactive", "disabled", or "ghosted" in some other toolkits.

Parameters:

sensitive true to make the widget sensitive.

void Gtk::Widget::set_size_request	(	int	width = `-1`,
		int	height = `-1`
	)

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size request will be width by height.

You can use this function to force a widget to be either larger or smaller than it normally would be.

In most cases, Gtk::Window::set_default_size() is a better choice for toplevel windows than this function; setting the default size will still allow users to shrink the window. Setting the size request will force them to leave the window at least as large as the size request. When dealing with window sizes, Gtk::Window::set_geometry_hints() can be a useful function as well.

Note the inherent danger of setting any fixed size - themes, translations into other languages, different fonts, and user action can all change the appropriate size for a given widget. So, it's basically impossible to hardcode a size that will always be correct.

The size request of a widget is the smallest size a widget can accept while still functioning well and drawing itself correctly. However in some strange cases a widget may be allocated less than its requested size, and in many cases a widget may be allocated more space than it requested.

If the size request in a given direction is -1 (unset), then the "natural" size request of the widget will be used instead.

Widgets can't actually be allocated a size less than 1 by 1, but you can pass 0,0 to this function to mean "as small as possible."

The size request set here does not include any margin from the Gtk::Widget properties margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, and margin-bottom, but it does include pretty much all other padding or border properties set by any subclass of Gtk::Widget.

Parameters:

width	Width widget should request, or -1 to unset.
height	Height widget should request, or -1 to unset.

void Gtk::Widget::set_state ( StateType state )

This function is for use in widget implementations.

Sets the state of a widget (insensitive, prelighted, etc.) Usually you should set the state using wrapper functions such as set_sensitive().

Deprecated: 3.0. Use set_state_flags() instead.

Deprecated:: Use set_state_flags() instead.

Parameters:

state New state for widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_state_flags	(	StateFlags	flags,
		bool	clear = `true`
	)

This function is for use in widget implementations.

Turns on flag values in the current widget state (insensitive, prelighted, etc.).

It is worth mentioning that any other state than Gtk::STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE, will be propagated down to all non-internal children if widget is a Gtk::Container, while Gtk::STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE itself will be propagated down to all Gtk::Container children by different means than turning on the state flag down the hierarchy, both get_state_flags() and is_sensitive() will make use of these.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

flags	State flags to turn on.
clear	Whether to clear state before turning on flags.

void Gtk::Widget::set_support_multidevice ( bool support_multidevice = true )

Enables or disables multiple pointer awareness.

If this setting is true, widget will start receiving multiple, per device enter/leave events. Note that if custom Gdk::Windows are created in Gtk::Widget::signal_realize(), gdk_window_set_support_multidevice() will have to be called manually on them.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

support_multidevice true to support input from multiple devices.

void Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_markup ( const Glib::ustring & markup )

Sets markup as the contents of the tooltip, which is marked up with the Pango text markup language.

This function will take care of setting GtkWidget:has-tooltip to true and of the default handler for the GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal.

See also the GtkWidget:tooltip-markup property and Gtk::Tooltip::set_markup().

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

markup The contents of the tooltip for widget.

Reimplemented in Gtk::ToolItem.

void Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_text ( const Glib::ustring & text )

Sets text as the contents of the tooltip.

This function will take care of setting Gtk::Widget::property_has_tooltip() to true and of the default handler for the Gtk::Widget::signal_query_tooltip() signal.

See also the Gtk::Widget::property_tooltip_text() property and Gtk::Tooltip::set_text().

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

text	The contents of the tooltip for widget.

Reimplemented in Gtk::ToolItem.

void Gtk::Widget::set_tooltip_window ( Window& widget )

Replaces the default, usually yellow, window used for displaying tooltips with custom_window.

GTK+ will take care of showing and hiding custom_window at the right moment, to behave likewise as the default tooltip window. If custom_window is 0, the default tooltip window will be used.

If the custom window should have the default theming it needs to have the name "gtk-tooltip", see set_name().

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

custom_window A Gtk::Window, or 0.

void Gtk::Widget::set_valign ( Align align )

Sets the vertical alignment of widget.

See the Gtk::Widget::property_valign() property.

Parameters:

align The vertical alignment.

void Gtk::Widget::set_vexpand ( bool expand = true )

Sets whether the widget would like any available extra vertical space.

See set_hexpand() for more detail.

Parameters:

expand Whether to expand.

void Gtk::Widget::set_vexpand_set ( bool set = true )

Sets whether the vexpand flag (see get_vexpand()) will be used.

See set_hexpand_set() for more detail.

Parameters:

set	Value for vexpand-set property.

void Gtk::Widget::set_visible ( bool visible = true )

Sets the visibility state of widget.

Note that setting this to true doesn't mean the widget is actually viewable, see get_visible().

This function simply calls show() or hide() but is nicer to use when the visibility of the widget depends on some condition.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

visible Whether the widget should be shown or not.

void Gtk::Widget::set_window ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Window >& window )

protected

Sets a widget's window.

This function should only be used in a widget's Gtk::Widget::on_realize() implementation. The window passed is usually either a new window created with Gdk::Window::create(), or the window of its parent widget as returned by get_parent_window().

Widgets must indicate whether they will create their own Gdk::Window by calling set_has_window(). This is usually done in the widget's constructor.

This function should only be called by custom widget implementations, and they should call it in their on_realize() function.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

window A Gdk::Window.

void Gtk::Widget::shape_combine_region ( const ::Cairo::RefPtr< const ::Cairo::Region > & region )

Sets a shape for this widget's GDK window.

This allows for transparent windows etc., see gdk_window_shape_combine_region() for more information.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

region Shape to be added, or 0 to remove an existing shape.

static bool Gtk::Widget::should_draw_window	(	const ::Cairo::RefPtr< const ::Cairo::Context > &	cr,
		const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Window >&	window
	)

staticprotected

This function is supposed to be called in Gtk::Widget::signal_draw() implementations for widgets that support multiple windows.

cr must be untransformed from invoking of the draw function. This function will return true if the contents of the given window are supposed to be drawn and false otherwise. Note that when the drawing was not initiated by the windowing system this function will return true for all windows, so you need to draw the bottommost window first. Also, do not use "else if" statements to check which window should be drawn.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

cr	A cairo context.
window	The window to check. window may not be an input-only window.

Returns:: true if window should be drawn.

void Gtk::Widget::show ( )

Flags a widget to be displayed.

Any widget that isn't shown will not appear on the screen. If you want to show all the widgets in a container, it's easier to call show_all() on the container, instead of individually showing the widgets.

Remember that you have to show the containers containing a widget, in addition to the widget itself, before it will appear onscreen.

When a toplevel container is shown, it is immediately realized and mapped; other shown widgets are realized and mapped when their toplevel container is realized and mapped.

void Gtk::Widget::show_all ( )

Recursively shows a widget, and any child widgets (if the widget is a container).

virtual void Gtk::Widget::show_all_vfunc ( )

protectedvirtual

void Gtk::Widget::show_now ( )

Shows a widget.

If the widget is an unmapped toplevel widget (i.e. a Gtk::Window that has not yet been shown), enter the main loop and wait for the window to actually be mapped. Be careful; because the main loop is running, anything can happen during this function.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventButton* > Gtk::Widget::signal_button_press_event ( )

Event triggered by user pressing button.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_button_press_event(GdkEventButton* event)

The signal_button_press_event() signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::BUTTON_PRESS_MASK mask.

This signal will be sent to the grab widget if there is one.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventButton which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventButton* > Gtk::Widget::signal_button_release_event ( )

Event triggered by user releasing button.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_button_release_event(GdkEventButton* event)

The signal_button_release_event() signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::BUTTON_RELEASE_MASK mask.

This signal will be sent to the grab widget if there is one.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventButton which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,GParamSpec* > Gtk::Widget::signal_child_notify ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_child_notify(GParamSpec* pspec)

The signal_child_notify() signal is emitted for each child property that has changed on an object. The signal's detail holds the property name.

Parameters:

child_property The ParamSpec of the changed child property.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Widget::signal_composited_changed ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_composited_changed()

The signal_composited_changed() signal is emitted when the composited status of widgets screen changes. See gdk_screen_is_composited().

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventConfigure* > Gtk::Widget::signal_configure_event ( )

Event triggered by a window resizing.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_configure_event(GdkEventConfigure* event)

The signal_configure_event() signal will be emitted when the size, position or stacking of the widget's window has changed.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::STRUCTURE_MASK mask. GDK will enable this mask automatically for all new windows.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventConfigure which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventExpose* > Gtk::Widget::signal_damage_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_damage_event(GdkEventExpose* event)

Emitted when a redirected window belonging to widget gets drawn into. The region/area members of the event shows what area of the redirected drawable was drawn into.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventExpose event.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventAny* > Gtk::Widget::signal_delete_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_delete_event(GdkEventAny* event)

The signal_delete_event() signal is emitted if a user requests that a toplevel window is closed. The default handler for this signal destroys the window. Connecting Gtk::Widget::hide_on_delete() to this signal will cause the window to be hidden instead, so that it can later be shown again without reconstructing it.

Parameters:

event The event which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,TextDirection > Gtk::Widget::signal_direction_changed ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_direction_changed(TextDirection direction)

The signal_direction_changed() signal is emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

Parameters:

previous_direction The previous text direction of widget.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_begin ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_begin(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

The signal_drag_begin() signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is started. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to set up a custom drag icon with e.g. Gtk::DragSource::set_icon_pixbuf().

Note that some widgets set up a drag icon in the default handler of this signal, so you may have to use Glib::signal_connect_after() to override what the default handler did.

Parameters:

context The drag context.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_delete ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_data_delete(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

The signal_drag_data_delete() signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag with the action Gdk::ACTION_MOVE is successfully completed. The signal handler is responsible for deleting the data that has been dropped. What "delete" means depends on the context of the drag operation.

Parameters:

context The drag context.

Glib::SignalProxy4< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,SelectionData&,guint,guint > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_get ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_data_get(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, SelectionData& selection_data, guint info, guint time)

The signal_drag_data_get() signal is emitted on the drag source when the drop site requests the data which is dragged. It is the responsibility of the signal handler to fill data with the data in the format which is indicated by info. See gtk_selection_data_set() and gtk_selection_data_set_text().

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
data	The Gtk::SelectionData to be filled with the dragged data.
info	The info that has been registered with the target in the Gtk::TargetList.
time	The timestamp at which the data was requested.

Glib::SignalProxy6< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,const SelectionData&,guint,guint > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_received ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_data_received(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, const SelectionData& selection_data, guint info, guint time)

The signal_drag_data_received() signal is emitted on the drop site when the dragged data has been received. If the data was received in order to determine whether the drop will be accepted, the handler is expected to call gdk_drag_status() and not finish the drag. If the data was received in response to a Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_drop() signal (and this is the last target to be received), the handler for this signal is expected to process the received data and then call gtk_drag_finish(), setting the success parameter depending on whether the data was processed successfully.

The handler may inspect the selected action with gdk_drag_context_get_selected_action() before calling gtk_drag_finish(), e.g. to implement Gdk::ACTION_ASK as shown in the following example:

[C example ellipted]

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
x	Where the drop happened.
y	Where the drop happened.
data	The received data.
info	The info that has been registered with the target in the Gtk::TargetList.
time	The timestamp at which the data was received.

Glib::SignalProxy4< bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,guint > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_drop ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_drag_drop(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, guint time)

The signal_drag_drop() signal is emitted on the drop site when the user drops the data onto the widget. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns false and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns true. In this case, the handler must ensure that gtk_drag_finish() is called to let the source know that the drop is done. The call to gtk_drag_finish() can be done either directly or in a Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_received() handler which gets triggered by calling gtk_drag_get_data() to receive the data for one or more of the supported targets.

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
x	The x coordinate of the current cursor position.
y	The y coordinate of the current cursor position.
time	The timestamp of the motion event.

Returns:: Whether the cursor position is in a drop zone.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_end ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_end(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

The signal_drag_end() signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is finished. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_begin().

Parameters:

context The drag context.

Glib::SignalProxy2< bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,DragResult > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_failed ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_drag_failed(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, DragResult result)

The signal_drag_failed() signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag has failed. The signal handler may hook custom code to handle a failed DND operation based on the type of error, it returns true is the failure has been already handled (not showing the default "drag operation failed" animation), otherwise it returns false.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
result	The result of the drag operation.

Returns:: true if the failed drag operation has been already handled.

Glib::SignalProxy2< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,guint > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_leave ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_drag_leave(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, guint time)

The signal_drag_leave() signal is emitted on the drop site when the cursor leaves the widget. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_motion(), e.g. undo highlighting with gtk_drag_unhighlight()

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
time	The timestamp of the motion event.

Glib::SignalProxy4< bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,guint > Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_motion ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_drag_motion(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, guint time)

The signal_drag_motion() signal is emitted on the drop site when the user moves the cursor over the widget during a drag. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns false and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns true. In this case, the handler is responsible for providing the necessary information for displaying feedback to the user, by calling gdk_drag_status().

If the decision whether the drop will be accepted or rejected can't be made based solely on the cursor position and the type of the data, the handler may inspect the dragged data by calling gtk_drag_get_data() and defer the gdk_drag_status() call to the Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_received() handler. Note that you cannot not pass Gtk::DEST_DEFAULT_DROP, Gtk::DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION or Gtk::DEST_DEFAULT_ALL to gtk_drag_dest_set() when using the drag-motion signal that way.

Also note that there is no drag-enter signal. The drag receiver has to keep track of whether he has received any drag-motion signals since the last Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_leave() and if not, treat the drag-motion signal as an "enter" signal. Upon an "enter", the handler will typically highlight the drop site with gtk_drag_highlight().

[C example ellipted]

Parameters:

context	The drag context.
x	The x coordinate of the current cursor position.
y	The y coordinate of the current cursor position.
time	The timestamp of the motion event.

Returns:: Whether the cursor position is in a drop zone.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Context>& > Gtk::Widget::signal_draw ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_draw(const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Context>& cr)

This signal is emitted when a widget is supposed to render itself. The widget's top left corner must be painted at the origin of the passed in context and be sized to the values returned by Gtk::Widget::get_allocated_width() and Gtk::Widget::get_allocated_height().

Signal handlers connected to this signal can modify the cairo context passed as cr in any way they like and don't need to restore it. The signal emission takes care of calling cairo_save() before and cairo_restore() after invoking the handler.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

cr	The cairo context to draw to.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. % false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventCrossing* > Gtk::Widget::signal_enter_notify_event ( )

Event triggered by pointer entering widget area.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_enter_notify_event(GdkEventCrossing* event)

The signal_enter_notify_event() will be emitted when the pointer enters the widget's window.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK mask.

This signal will be sent to the grab widget if there is one.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventCrossing which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEvent* > Gtk::Widget::signal_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_event(GdkEvent* event)

The GTK+ main loop will emit three signals for each GDK event delivered to a widget: one generic signal_event() signal, another, more specific, signal that matches the type of event delivered (e.g. Gtk::Widget::signal_key_press_event()) and finally a generic Gtk::Widget::signal_event_after() signal.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::Event which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event and to cancel the emission of the second specific signal_event() signal. false to propagate the event further and to allow the emission of the second signal. The signal_event_after() signal is emitted regardless of the return value.

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,GdkEvent* > Gtk::Widget::signal_event_after ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_event_after(GdkEvent* event)

After the emission of the Gtk::Widget::signal_event() signal and (optionally) the second more specific signal, signal_event_after() will be emitted regardless of the previous two signals handlers return values.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::Event which triggered this signal.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,DirectionType > Gtk::Widget::signal_focus ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_focus(DirectionType direction)

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventFocus* > Gtk::Widget::signal_focus_in_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_focus_in_event(GdkEventFocus* event)

The signal_focus_in_event() signal will be emitted when the keyboard focus enters the widget's window.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::FOCUS_CHANGE_MASK mask.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventFocus which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventFocus* > Gtk::Widget::signal_focus_out_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_focus_out_event(GdkEventFocus* event)

The signal_focus_out_event() signal will be emitted when the keyboard focus leaves the widget's window.

To receive this signal, the Gdk::Window associated to the widget needs to enable the Gdk::FOCUS_CHANGE_MASK mask.

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventFocus which triggered this signal.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventGrabBroken* > Gtk::Widget::signal_grab_broken_event ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_grab_broken_event(GdkEventGrabBroken* event)

Emitted when a pointer or keyboard grab on a window belonging to widget gets broken.

On X11, this happens when the grab window becomes unviewable (i.e. it or one of its ancestors is unmapped), or if the same application grabs the pointer or keyboard again.

Since gtkmm 2.8:

Parameters:

event The Gdk::EventGrabBroken event.

Returns:: true to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. false to propagate the event further.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Widget::signal_grab_focus ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_grab_focus()

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,bool > Gtk::Widget::signal_grab_notify ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_grab_notify(bool was_grabbed)

The signal_grab_notify() signal is emitted when a widget becomes shadowed by a GTK+ grab (not a pointer or keyboard grab) on another widget, or when it becomes unshadowed due to a grab being removed.

A widget is shadowed by a gtk_grab_add() when the topmost grab widget in the grab stack of its window group is not its ancestor.

Parameters:

was_grabbed false if the widget becomes shadowed, true if it becomes unshadowed.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Widget::signal_hide ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_hide()

Glib::SignalProxy1< void,Widget* > Gtk::Widget::signal_hierarchy_changed ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_hierarchy_changed(Widget* previous_toplevel)

The signal_hierarchy_changed() signal is emitted when the anchored state of a widget changes. A widget is <firstterm>anchored</firstterm> when its toplevel ancestor is a Gtk::Window. This signal is emitted when a widget changes from un-anchored to anchored or vice-versa.

Parameters:

previous_toplevel The previous toplevel ancestor, or 0 if the widget was previously unanchored.

Glib::SignalProxy1< bool,GdkEventKey* > Gtk::Widget::signal_key_press_event ( )

Event triggered by a key press will widget has focus.

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_key_press_event(GdkEventKey* event)

void Gtk::Widget::transform_cairo_context_to_window	(	const ::Cairo::RefPtr< ::Cairo::Context > &	cr,
		const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Window >&	window
	)

protected

Transforms the given cairo context cr from widget-relative coordinates to window-relative coordinates.

If the widget's window is not an ancestor of window, no modification will be applied.

This is the inverse to the transformation GTK applies when preparing an expose event to be emitted with the Widget's draw signal. It is intended to help porting multiwindow widgets from GTK+ 2 to the rendering architecture of GTK+ 3.

Parameters:

cr	The cairo context to transform.
window	The window to transform the context to.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

bool Gtk::Widget::translate_coordinates	(	Widget&	dest_widget,
		int	src_x,
		int	src_y,
		int &	dest_x,
		int &	dest_y
	)

Translate coordinates relative to src_widget's allocation to coordinates relative to dest_widget's allocations.

In order to perform this operation, both widgets must be realized, and must share a common toplevel.

Parameters:

dest_widget	A Gtk::Widget.
src_x	X position relative to src_widget.
src_y	Y position relative to src_widget.
dest_x	Location to store X position relative to dest_widget.
dest_y	Location to store Y position relative to dest_widget.

Returns:

false if either widget was not realized, or there was no common ancestor. In this case, nothing is stored in

dest_x and * dest_y. Otherwise true.

void Gtk::Widget::trigger_tooltip_query ( )

Triggers a tooltip query on the display where the toplevel of widget is located.

See Gtk::Tooltip::trigger_tooltip_query() for more information.
