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.

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 RUN_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.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

device	A Gdk::Device.
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::focus signal; widgets override the default handler for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.

The default ::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::child-notify signal for the child_property on widget.

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

Parameters:

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

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

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 get_pango_context().

Returns:: The new Pango::Context.

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> Gtk::Widget::create_pango_layout ( const Glib::ustring & text )

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

If you keep a Pango::Layout created in this way around, in order to notify the layout of changes to the base direction or font of this widget, you must call pango_layout_context_changed() in response to the Gtk::Widget::style-set and Gtk::Widget::direction-changed signals for the widget.

Parameters:

text	Text to set on the layout (can be `0`).

Returns:: The new Pango::Layout.

bool Gtk::Widget::device_is_shadowed ( const Glib::RefPtr< const Gdk::Device >& device )

Returns true if device has been shadowed by a GTK+ device grab on another widget, so it would stop sending events to widget.

This may be used in the Gtk::Widget::grab-notify signal to check for specific devices. See gtk_device_grab_add().

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

device A Gdk::Device.

Returns:: true if there is an ongoing grab on device by another Gtk::Widget than widget.

virtual void Gtk::Widget::dispatch_child_properties_changed_vfunc	(	guint	p1,
		GParamSpec **	p2
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext> Gtk::Widget::drag_begin	(	const Glib::RefPtr< TargetList >&	targets,
		Gdk::DragAction	actions,
		int	button,
		GdkEvent *	event
	)

Initiates a drag on the source side.

The function only needs to be used when the application is starting drags itself, and is not needed when Gtk::DragSource::set() is used.

The event is used to retrieve the timestamp that will be used internally to grab the pointer. If event is #0, then GDK_CURRENT_TIME will be used. However, you should try to pass a real event in all cases, since that can be used by GTK+ to get information about the start position of the drag, for example if the event is a GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY.

Generally there are three cases when you want to start a drag by hand by calling this function:

1. During a button-press-event handler, if you want to start a drag immediately when the user presses the mouse button. Pass the event that you have in your button-press-event handler.

2. During a motion-notify-event handler, if you want to start a drag when the mouse moves past a certain threshold distance after a button-press. Pass the event that you have in your motion-notify-event handler.

3. During a timeout handler, if you want to start a drag after the mouse button is held down for some time. Try to save the last event that you got from the mouse, using gdk_event_copy(), and pass it to this function (remember to free the event with gdk_event_free() when you are done). If you can really not pass a real event, pass #0 instead.

Parameters:

targets	The targets (data formats) in which the source can provide the data.
actions	A bitmask of the allowed drag actions for this drag.
button	The button the user clicked to start the drag.
event	The event that triggered the start of the drag.

Returns:: The context for this drag.

bool Gtk::Widget::drag_check_threshold	(	int	start_x,
		int	start_y,
		int	current_x,
		int	current_y
	)

Checks to see if a mouse drag starting at ( start_x, start_y) and ending at ( current_x, current_y) has passed the GTK+ drag threshold, and thus should trigger the beginning of a drag-and-drop operation.

Parameters:

start_x	X coordinate of start of drag.
start_y	Y coordinate of start of drag.
current_x	Current X coordinate.
current_y	Current Y coordinate.

Returns:: true if the drag threshold has been passed.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_image_targets ( )

Add the image targets supported by Gtk::Selection to the target list of the drag destination.

The targets are added with info = 0. If you need another value, use Gtk::TargetList::add_image_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_text_targets ( )

The targets are added with info = 0. If you need another value, use Gtk::TargetList::add_text_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_uri_targets ( )

Add the URI targets supported by Gtk::Selection to the target list of the drag destination.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

Glib::ustring Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_find_target	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::DragContext >&	context,
		const Glib::RefPtr< TargetList >&	target_list
	)		const

Looks for a match between context->targets and the dest_target_list, returning the first matching target, otherwise returning Gdk::NONE.

dest_target_list should usually be the return value from gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list(), but some widgets may have different valid targets for different parts of the widget; in that case, they will have to implement a drag_motion handler that passes the correct target list to this function.

Parameters:

context	Drag context.
target_list	List of droppable targets.

Returns:: First target that the source offers and the dest can accept, or Gdk::NONE.

See the docs for Gtk::IconTheme for more details.

Since gtkmm 2.8:

Parameters:

widget	A Gtk::Widget.
icon_name	Name of icon to use.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_source_set_icon ( const StockID& stock_id )

Sets the icon that will be used for drags from a particular source to a stock icon.

Parameters:

stock_id The ID of the stock icon to use.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_source_unset ( )

void Gtk::Widget::drag_unhighlight ( )

void Gtk::Widget::draw_insertion_cursor	(	const Cairo::RefPtr< Cairo::Context > &	cr,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	location,
		bool	is_primary,
		TextDirection	direction,
		bool	draw_arrow = `true`
	)

void Gtk::Widget::error_bell ( )

Notifies the user about an input-related error on this widget.

If the Gtk::Settings gtk-error-bell proeprty is true, it calls Gdk::Window::beep(), otherwise it does nothing.

Note that the effect of Gdk::Window::beep() can be configured in many ways, depending on the windowing backend and the desktop environment or window manager that is used.

Since gtkmm 2.12:

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

Rarely-used function.

This function is used to emit the event signals on a widget (those signals should never be emitted without using this function to do so). If you want to synthesize an event though, don't use this function; instead, use gtk_main_do_event() so the event will behave as if it were in the event queue. Don't synthesize expose events; instead, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() to invalidate a region of the window.

Parameters:

event A Gdk::Event.

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

void Gtk::Widget::freeze_child_notify ( )

Stops emission of Gtk::Widget::child-notify signals on widget.

The signals are queued until thaw_child_notify() is called on widget.

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

Glib::RefPtr<Atk::Object> Gtk::Widget::get_accessible ( )

Returns the accessible object that describes the widget to an assistive technology.

If no accessibility library is loaded (i.e. no ATK implementation library is loaded via <envar>GTK_MODULES</envar> or via another application library, such as libgnome), then this Atk::Object instance may be a no-op. Likewise, if no class-specific Atk::Object implementation is available for the widget instance in question, it will inherit an Atk::Object implementation from the first ancestor class for which such an implementation is defined.

The documentation of the library contains more information about accessible objects and their uses.

Returns:: The Atk::Object associated with widget.

Glib::RefPtr<const Atk::Object> Gtk::Widget::get_accessible ( ) const

Returns the accessible object that describes the widget to an assistive technology.

The documentation of the library contains more information about accessible objects and their uses.

Widget* Gtk::Widget::get_ancestor ( GType widget_type )

Gets the first ancestor of widget with type widget_type.

For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first Gtk::Box that's an ancestor of widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel Gtk::Window in the docs for get_toplevel().

Note that unlike is_ancestor(), get_ancestor() considers widget to be an ancestor of itself.

Parameters:

widget_type Ancestor type.

Returns:: The ancestor widget, or 0 if not found.

const Widget* Gtk::Widget::get_ancestor ( GType widget_type ) const

Gets the first ancestor of widget with type widget_type.

Note that unlike is_ancestor(), get_ancestor() considers widget to be an ancestor of itself.

Parameters:

widget_type Ancestor type.

Returns:: The ancestor widget, or 0 if not found.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_app_paintable ( ) const

See set_can_focus().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if widget can own the input focus, false otherwise.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_child_visible ( ) const

Gets the value set with set_child_visible().

If you feel a need to use this function, your code probably needs reorganization.

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

Returns:: true if the widget is mapped with the parent.

Glib::RefPtr<Clipboard> Gtk::Widget::get_clipboard ( const Glib::ustring & selection )

Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with widget.

widget must have a Gdk::Display associated with it, so must be attached to a toplevel window.

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

Gets a Pango::Context with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for this widget.

Unlike the context returned by create_pango_context(), this context is owned by the widget (it can be used until the screen for the widget changes or the widget is removed from its toplevel), and will be updated to match any changes to the widget's attributes.

If you create and keep a Pango::Layout using this context, you must deal with changes to the context by calling pango_layout_context_changed() on the layout in response to the Gtk::Widget::style-set and Gtk::Widget::direction-changed signals for the widget.

Returns:: The Pango::Context for the widget.

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	Return location for the X coordinate, or `0`.
y	Return location for the Y coordinate, or `0`.

Determines whether widget is realized.

Since gtkmm 2.20:

Returns:: true if widget is realized, false otherwise.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_receives_default ( ) const

Determines whether widget is alyways treated as default widget withing its toplevel when it has the focus, even if another widget is the default.

See set_receives_default().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if widget acts as default widget when focussed, false otherwise.

SizeRequestMode Gtk::Widget::get_request_mode ( ) const

virtual SizeRequestMode Gtk::Widget::get_request_mode_vfunc ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Requisition Gtk::Widget::get_requisition ( ) const [protected]

Retrieves the widget's requisition.

This method should only be used by widget implementations in order to discover whether the widget's requisition has actually changed after some internal state change (so that they can call queue_resize() instead of queue_draw()).

Normally, size_request() should be used.

Returns:: The widget's requisition.

@newin{2,20}

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> Gtk::Widget::get_root_window ( )

Get the root window where this widget is located.

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with Gtk::Window at the top.

The root window is useful for such purposes as creating a popup Gdk::Window associated with the window. In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Returns:: The Gdk::Window root window for the toplevel for this widget.

Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Window> Gtk::Widget::get_root_window ( ) const

Get the root window where this widget is located.

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with Gtk::Window at the top.

Returns:: The Gdk::Screen for the toplevel for this widget.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Invisible, and Gtk::Window.

Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Screen> Gtk::Widget::get_screen ( ) const

Get the Gdk::Screen from the toplevel window associated with this widget.

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a Gtk::Window at the top.

In general, you should only create screen specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

Since gtkmm 2.2:

Returns:: The Gdk::Screen for the toplevel for this widget.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Invisible, and Gtk::Window.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_sensitive ( ) const

Returns the widget's sensitivity (in the sense of returning the value that has been set using set_sensitive()).

The effective sensitivity of a widget is however determined by both its own and its parent widget's sensitivity. See is_sensitive().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if the widget is sensitive.

Glib::RefPtr<Settings> Gtk::Widget::get_settings ( )

Gets the settings object holding the settings (global property settings, RC file information, etc) used for this widget.

Note that this function can only be called when the Gtk::Widget is attached to a toplevel, since the settings object is specific to a particular Gdk::Screen.

Returns:: The relevant Gtk::Settings object.

Reimplemented in Gtk::PrintUnixDialog.

void Gtk::Widget::get_size_request	(	int &	width,
		int &	height
	)		const

Gets the size request that was explicitly set for the widget using set_size_request().

A value of -1 stored in width or height indicates that that dimension has not been set explicitly and the natural requisition of the widget will be used intead. See set_size_request(). To get the size a widget will actually use, call size_request() instead of this function.

Parameters:

width	Return location for width, or `0`.
height	Return location for height, or `0`.

StateType Gtk::Widget::get_state ( ) const

Returns the widget's state.

See set_state().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Window* Gtk::Widget::get_tooltip_window ( )

Returns the Gtk::Window of the current tooltip.

This can be the GtkWindow created by default, or the custom tooltip window set using set_tooltip_window().

Since gtkmm 2.12:

Returns:: The Gtk::Window of the current tooltip.

const Container* Gtk::Widget::get_toplevel ( ) const

This function returns the topmost widget in the container hierarchy widget is a part of.

If widget has no parent widgets, it will be returned as the topmost widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Note the difference in behavior vs. get_ancestor(); gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW) would return 0 if widget wasn't inside a toplevel window, and if the window was inside a Gtk::Window-derived widget which was in turn inside the toplevel Gtk::Window. While the second case may seem unlikely, it actually happens when a Gtk::Plug is embedded inside a Gtk::Socket within the same application.

To reliably find the toplevel Gtk::Window, use get_toplevel() and check if the T::OPLEVEL flags is set on the result. |[ GtkWidget* toplevel = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (widget); if (gtk_widget_is_toplevel (toplevel)) { /* Perform action on toplevel.* / } ]|

Returns:: The topmost ancestor of widget, or widget itself if there's no ancestor.

Container* Gtk::Widget::get_toplevel ( )

This function returns the topmost widget in the container hierarchy widget is a part of.

If widget has no parent widgets, it will be returned as the topmost widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Returns:: The topmost ancestor of widget, or widget itself if there's no ancestor.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_vexpand ( ) const

bool Gtk::Widget::get_vexpand_set ( ) const

bool Gtk::Widget::get_visible ( ) const

Determines whether the widget is visible.

Note that this doesn't take into account whether the widget's parent is also visible or the widget is obscured in any way.

const GtkWidget* Gtk::Widget::gobj ( ) const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Buildable.

void Gtk::Widget::grab_default ( )

Causes widget to become the default widget.

widget must have the Gtk::CAN_DEFAULT flag set; typically you have to set this flag yourself by calling gtk_widget_set_can_default ( widget, true). The default widget is activated when the user presses Enter in a window. Default widgets must be activatable, that is, activate() should affect them. Note that Gtk::Entry widgets require the "activates-default" property set to true before they activate the default widget when Enter is pressed and the Gtk::Entry is focused.

void Gtk::Widget::grab_focus ( )

Causes widget to have the keyboard focus for the Gtk::Window it's inside.

widget must be a focusable widget, such as a Gtk::Entry; something like Gtk::Frame won't work.

More precisely, it must have the Gtk::CAN_FOCUS flag set. Use set_can_focus() to modify that flag.

bool Gtk::Widget::has_default ( ) const

Determines whether widget is the current default widget within its toplevel.

See set_can_default().

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if widget is the current default widget within its toplevel, false otherwise.

bool Gtk::Widget::has_focus ( ) const

Determines if the widget has the global input focus.

See is_focus() for the difference between having the global input focus, and only having the focus within a toplevel.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Returns:: true if the widget has the global input focus.

bool Gtk::Widget::has_grab ( ) const

Determines whether the widget is currently grabbing events, so it is the only widget receiving input events (keyboard and mouse).

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.

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

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

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 sensntive.

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::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 ::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: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 ::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::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.
