Detailed Description
Gdk::Display object's purpose is two fold: To grab/ungrab keyboard focus and mouse pointer To manage and provide information about the Gdk::Monitor(s) available for this Gdk::Display.
Gdk::Display objects are the GDK representation of the X Display which can be described as a workstation consisting of a keyboard a pointing device (such as a mouse) and one or more screens. It is used to open and keep track of various Gdk::Monitor objects currently instantiated by the application. It is also used to grab and release the keyboard and the mouse pointer.

Member Function Documentation
void Gdk::Display::beep | ( | ) |
Emits a short beep on display.
void Gdk::Display::close | ( | ) |
Closes the connection to the windowing system for the given display, and cleans up associated resources.
bool Gdk::Display::device_is_grabbed | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Device >& | device | ) | const |
Returns true
if there is an ongoing grab on device for display.
- Parameters
-
device A Gdk::Device.
- Returns
true
if there is a grab in effect for device.
void Gdk::Display::flush | ( | ) |
Flushes any requests queued for the windowing system; this happens automatically when the main loop blocks waiting for new events, but if your application is drawing without returning control to the main loop, you may need to call this function explicitly.
A common case where this function needs to be called is when an application is executing drawing commands from a thread other than the thread where the main loop is running.
This is most useful for X11. On windowing systems where requests are handled synchronously, this function will do nothing.

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
GdkDisplay* Gdk::Display::gobj_copy | ( | ) |
Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
bool Gdk::Display::is_closed | ( | ) | const |
Finds out if the display has been closed.
- Returns
true
if the display is closed.
bool Gdk::Display::is_composited | ( | ) | const |
Returns whether surfaces can reasonably be expected to have their alpha channel drawn correctly on the screen.
Check is_rgba() for whether the display supports an alpha channel.
On X11 this function returns whether a compositing manager is compositing on display.

.
- Returns
- Whether surfaces with RGBA visuals can reasonably be expected to have their alpha channels drawn correctly on the screen.
bool Gdk::Display::is_rgba | ( | ) | const |
Returns whether surfaces on this display are created with an alpha channel.
Even if a true
is returned, it is possible that the surface’s alpha channel won’t be honored when displaying the surface on the screen: in particular, for X an appropriate windowing manager and compositing manager must be running to provide appropriate display. Use is_composited() to check if that is the case.
On modern displays, this value is always true
.
- Returns
true
if surfaces are created with an alpha channel orfalse
if the display does not support this functionality.
std::vector<Glib::RefPtr<Seat> > Gdk::Display::list_seats | ( | ) |

- Parameters
-
startup_id A startup-notification identifier, for which notification process should be completed.

true
if the display properly composites the alpha channel.
See Gdk::Display::is_composited() for details.
Default value: true

- A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gdk::Display::property_input_shapes | ( | ) | const |
true
if the display supports input shapes.
See Gdk::Display::supports_input_shapes() for details.
Default value: true

This function is only useful in very special situations and should not be used by applications.
- Parameters
-
event A Gdk::Event.
Glib::SignalProxy<void(bool)> Gdk::Display::signal_closed | ( | ) |
- Slot Prototype:
void on_my_closed(bool is_error)
Flags: Run Last
The signal_closed() signal is emitted when the connection to the windowing system for display is closed.
- Parameters
-
is_error true
if the display was closed due to an error.
Glib::SignalProxy<void()> Gdk::Display::signal_opened | ( | ) |
- Slot Prototype:
void on_my_opened()
Flags: Run Last
The signal_opened() signal is emitted when the connection to the windowing system for display is opened.
Glib::SignalProxy<void(const Glib::RefPtr<Seat>&)> Gdk::Display::signal_seat_added | ( | ) |
- Slot Prototype:
void on_my_seat_added(const Glib::RefPtr<Seat>& seat)
Flags: Run Last
The signal_seat_added() signal is emitted whenever a new seat is made known to the windowing system.
- Parameters
-
seat The seat that was just added.
Glib::SignalProxy<void(const Glib::RefPtr<Seat>&)> Gdk::Display::signal_seat_removed | ( | ) |
- Slot Prototype:
void on_my_seat_removed(const Glib::RefPtr<Seat>& seat)
Flags: Run Last

- Parameters
-
setting The name of the setting that changed.
bool Gdk::Display::supports_input_shapes | ( | ) | const |
Returns true
if Gdk::Surface::set_input_region() can be used to modify the input shape of surfaces on display.
On modern displays, this value is always true
.
- Returns
true
if surfaces with modified input shape are supported.
void Gdk::Display::sync | ( | ) |
Flushes any requests queued for the windowing system and waits until all requests have been handled.
This is often used for making sure that the display is synchronized with the current state of the program. Calling sync() before gdk_x11_display_error_trap_pop() makes sure that any errors generated from earlier requests are handled before the error trap is removed.
This is most useful for X11. On windowing systems where requests are handled synchronously, this function will do nothing.
