Detailed Description

Advertising and negotiating of content exchange formats.

Gdk::ContentFormats is used to advertise and negotiate the format of content passed between different widgets, windows or applications using for example the clipboard or drag'n'drop.

GDK supports content in 2 forms: GType and mime type. Using GTypes is meant only for in-process content transfers. Mime types are meant to be used for data passing both in-process and out-of-process. The details of how data is passed is described in the documentation of the actual implementations.

A Gdk::ContentFormats describes a set of possible formats content can be exchanged in. It is assumed that this set is ordered. GTypes are more important than mime types. Order between different Gtypes or mime types is the order they were added in, most important first. Functions that care about order, such as join(), describe in their documentation how they interpret that order, though in general the order of the first argument is considered the primary order of the result, followed by the order of further arguments.

For debugging purposes, the function to_string() exists. It will print a comma-separated list of formats from most important to least important.

Gdk::ContentFormats is an immutable object. After creation, you cannot change the types it represents. Instead, new Gdk::ContentFormats have to be created. Gdk::ContentFormatsBuilder is meant to help in this endeavor.

Member Function Documentation

bool Gdk::ContentFormats::contain_gtype ( GType  type) const

Checks if a given Type is part of the given formats.

Parameters
typeThe Type to search for.
Returns
true if the Type was found.
bool Gdk::ContentFormats::contain_mime_type ( const Glib::ustring mime_type) const

Checks if a given mime type is part of the given formats.

Parameters
mime_typeThe mime type to search for.
Returns
true if the mime_type was found.
static Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> Gdk::ContentFormats::create ( const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &  mime_types = {})
static

Creates a new Gdk::ContentFormats from an array of mime types.

The mime types must be different or the behavior of the return value is undefined. If you cannot guarantee this, use Gdk::ContentFormatsBuilder instead.

Parameters
mime_typesA vector of mime types.
Returns
The new Gdk::ContentFormats.
static Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> Gdk::ContentFormats::create ( const Glib::ustring mime_type)
static

Creates a new Gdk::ContentFormats from a mime type.

Parameters
mime_typeA mime type.
Returns
The new Gdk::ContentFormats.
static Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> Gdk::ContentFormats::create ( GType  type)
static

Creates a new Gdk::ContentFormats from a GType.

Parameters
typeA GType.
Returns
The new Gdk::ContentFormats.
std::vector<GType> Gdk::ContentFormats::get_gtypes ( ) const

Gets the Types included in the ContentFormats.

Note that they may not contain any Types, in particular when they are empty. In that case an empty vector will be returned.

Returns
A vector of types included in the ContentFormats. May be empty.
std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gdk::ContentFormats::get_mime_types ( ) const

Gets the mime types included in the ContentFormats.

Note that they may not contain any mime types, in particular when they are empty. In that case an empty vector will be returned.

Returns
A vector of mime types included in the ContentFormats. May be empty.
GdkContentFormats* Gdk::ContentFormats::gobj ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

const GdkContentFormats* Gdk::ContentFormats::gobj ( ) const

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GdkContentFormats* Gdk::ContentFormats::gobj_copy ( ) const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> Gdk::ContentFormats::join ( const Glib::RefPtr< const ContentFormats >&  second) const

Append all missing types from second to *this, in the order they had in second.

Parameters
secondThe ContentFormats to merge from.
Returns
A new ContentFormats.
bool Gdk::ContentFormats::match ( const Glib::RefPtr< const ContentFormats >&  second) const

Checks if first and second have any matching formats.

Parameters
secondThe Gdk::ContentFormats to intersect with.
Returns
true if a matching format was found.
GType Gdk::ContentFormats::match_gtype ( const Glib::RefPtr< const ContentFormats >&  second) const

Finds the first Type from first that is also contained in second.

If no matching Type is found, G_TYPE_INVALID is returned.

Parameters
secondThe Gdk::ContentFormats to intersect with.
Returns
The first common Type or G_TYPE_INVALID if none.
Glib::ustring Gdk::ContentFormats::match_mime_type ( const Glib::RefPtr< const ContentFormats >&  second) const

Finds the first mime type from *this that is also contained in second.

If no matching mime type is found, an empty string is returned.

Parameters
secondThe Gdk::ContentFormats to intersect with.
Returns
The first common mime type, or an empty string if none.
void Gdk::ContentFormats::operator delete ( void *  ,
std::size_t   
)
protected
ContentFormats& Gdk::ContentFormats::operator= ( const ContentFormats )
delete
void Gdk::ContentFormats::reference ( ) const

Increment the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

Glib::ustring Gdk::ContentFormats::to_string ( ) const

Prints the given ContentFormats into a string for human consumption.

This is meant for debugging and logging.

The form of the representation may change at any time and is not guranteed to stay identical.

Returns
A new string.
void Gdk::ContentFormats::unreference ( ) const

Decrement the reference count for this object.

You should never need to do this manually - use the object via a RefPtr instead.

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters
objectThe C instance.
take_copyFalse if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
