Widget

GtkWidget is the base class all widgets in GTK+ derive from. It manages the widget lifecycle, states and style.

Height-for-width Geometry Management # {#geometry-management}

GTK+ uses a height-for-width (and width-for-height) geometry management system. Height-for-width means that a widget can change how much vertical space it needs, depending on the amount of horizontal space that it is given (and similar for width-for-height). The most common example is a label that reflows to fill up the available width, wraps to fewer lines, and therefore needs less height.

Height-for-width geometry management is implemented in GTK+ by way of five virtual methods:

- #GtkWidgetClass.get_request_mode() - #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width() - #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height() - #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width() - #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width_for_height() - #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_and_baseline_for_width()

There are some important things to keep in mind when implementing height-for-width and when using it in container implementations.

The geometry management system will query a widget hierarchy in only one orientation at a time. When widgets are initially queried for their minimum sizes it is generally done in two initial passes in the #GtkSizeRequestMode chosen by the toplevel.

For example, when queried in the normal %GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH mode: First, the default minimum and natural width for each widget in the interface will be computed using gtk_widget_get_preferred_width(). Because the preferred widths for each container depend on the preferred widths of their children, this information propagates up the hierarchy, and finally a minimum and natural width is determined for the entire toplevel. Next, the toplevel will use the minimum width to query for the minimum height contextual to that width using gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width(), which will also be a highly recursive operation. The minimum height for the minimum width is normally used to set the minimum size constraint on the toplevel (unless gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() is explicitly used instead).

After the toplevel window has initially requested its size in both dimensions it can go on to allocate itself a reasonable size (or a size previously specified with gtk_window_set_default_size()). During the recursive allocation process it’s important to note that request cycles will be recursively executed while container widgets allocate their children. Each container widget, once allocated a size, will go on to first share the space in one orientation among its children and then request each child's height for its target allocated width or its width for allocated height, depending. In this way a #GtkWidget will typically be requested its size a number of times before actually being allocated a size. The size a widget is finally allocated can of course differ from the size it has requested. For this reason, #GtkWidget caches a small number of results to avoid re-querying for the same sizes in one allocation cycle.

See [GtkContainer’s geometry management section][container-geometry-management] to learn more about how height-for-width allocations are performed by container widgets.

If a widget does move content around to intelligently use up the allocated size then it must support the request in both #GtkSizeRequestModes even if the widget in question only trades sizes in a single orientation.

For instance, a #GtkLabel that does height-for-width word wrapping will not expect to have #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height() called because that call is specific to a width-for-height request. In this case the label must return the height required for its own minimum possible width. By following this rule any widget that handles height-for-width or width-for-height requests will always be allocated at least enough space to fit its own content.

Here are some examples of how a %GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH widget generally deals with width-for-height requests, for #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height() it will do:

|[<!-- language="C" --> static void foo_widget_get_preferred_height (GtkWidget *widget, gint *min_height, gint *nat_height) { if (i_am_in_height_for_width_mode) { gint min_width, nat_width;

GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_width (widget, &min_width, &nat_width); GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_height_for_width (widget, min_width, min_height, nat_height); } else { ... some widgets do both. For instance, if a GtkLabel is rotated to 90 degrees it will return the minimum and natural height for the rotated label here. } } ]|

And in #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width_for_height() it will simply return the minimum and natural width: |[<!-- language="C" --> static void foo_widget_get_preferred_width_for_height (GtkWidget *widget, gint for_height, gint *min_width, gint *nat_width) { if (i_am_in_height_for_width_mode) { GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_width (widget, min_width, nat_width); } else { ... again if a widget is sometimes operating in width-for-height mode (like a rotated GtkLabel) it can go ahead and do its real width for height calculation here. } } ]|

Often a widget needs to get its own request during size request or allocation. For example, when computing height it may need to also compute width. Or when deciding how to use an allocation, the widget may need to know its natural size. In these cases, the widget should be careful to call its virtual methods directly, like this:

|[<!-- language="C" --> GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS(widget)->get_preferred_width (widget, &min, &natural); ]|

It will not work to use the wrapper functions, such as gtk_widget_get_preferred_width() inside your own size request implementation. These return a request adjusted by #GtkSizeGroup and by the #GtkWidgetClass.adjust_size_request() virtual method. If a widget used the wrappers inside its virtual method implementations, then the adjustments (such as widget margins) would be applied twice. GTK+ therefore does not allow this and will warn if you try to do it.

Of course if you are getting the size request for another widget, such as a child of a container, you must use the wrapper APIs. Otherwise, you would not properly consider widget margins, #GtkSizeGroup, and so forth.

Since 3.10 GTK+ also supports baseline vertical alignment of widgets. This means that widgets are positioned such that the typographical baseline of widgets in the same row are aligned. This happens if a widget supports baselines, has a vertical alignment of %GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE, and is inside a container that supports baselines and has a natural “row” that it aligns to the baseline, or a baseline assigned to it by the grandparent.

Baseline alignment support for a widget is done by the #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_and_baseline_for_width() virtual function. It allows you to report a baseline in combination with the minimum and natural height. If there is no baseline you can return -1 to indicate this. The default implementation of this virtual function calls into the #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height() and #GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width(), so if baselines are not supported it doesn’t need to be implemented.

If a widget ends up baseline aligned it will be allocated all the space in the parent as if it was %GTK_ALIGN_FILL, but the selected baseline can be found via gtk_widget_get_allocated_baseline(). If this has a value other than -1 you need to align the widget such that the baseline appears at the position.

Style Properties

#GtkWidget introduces “style properties” - these are basically object properties that are stored not on the object, but in the style object associated to the widget. Style properties are set in [resource files][gtk3-Resource-Files]. This mechanism is used for configuring such things as the location of the scrollbar arrows through the theme, giving theme authors more control over the look of applications without the need to write a theme engine in C.

Use gtk_widget_class_install_style_property() to install style properties for a widget class, gtk_widget_class_find_style_property() or gtk_widget_class_list_style_properties() to get information about existing style properties and gtk_widget_style_get_property(), gtk_widget_style_get() or gtk_widget_style_get_valist() to obtain the value of a style property.

GtkWidget as GtkBuildable

The GtkWidget implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a custom <accelerator> element, which has attributes named ”key”, ”modifiers” and ”signal” and allows to specify accelerators.

An example of a UI definition fragment specifying an accelerator: |[ <object class="GtkButton"> <accelerator key="q" modifiers="GDK_CONTROL_MASK" signal="clicked"/> </object> ]|

In addition to accelerators, GtkWidget also support a custom <accessible> element, which supports actions and relations. Properties on the accessible implementation of an object can be set by accessing the internal child “accessible” of a #GtkWidget.

An example of a UI definition fragment specifying an accessible: |[ <object class="GtkLabel" id="label1"/> <property name="label">I am a Label for a Button</property> </object> <object class="GtkButton" id="button1"> <accessibility> <action action_name="click" translatable="yes">Click the button.</action> <relation target="label1" type="labelled-by"/> </accessibility> <child internal-child="accessible"> <object class="AtkObject" id="a11y-button1"> <property name="accessible-name">Clickable Button</property> </object> </child> </object> ]|

Finally, GtkWidget allows style information such as style classes to be associated with widgets, using the custom <style> element: |[ <object class="GtkButton" id="button1"> <style> <class name="my-special-button-class"/> <class name="dark-button"/> </style> </object> ]|

Building composite widgets from template XML ## {#composite-templates}

GtkWidget exposes some facilities to automate the procedure of creating composite widgets using #GtkBuilder interface description language.

To create composite widgets with #GtkBuilder XML, one must associate the interface description with the widget class at class initialization time using gtk_widget_class_set_template().

The interface description semantics expected in composite template descriptions is slightly different from regular #GtkBuilder XML.

Unlike regular interface descriptions, gtk_widget_class_set_template() will expect a <template> tag as a direct child of the toplevel <interface> tag. The <template> tag must specify the “class” attribute which must be the type name of the widget. Optionally, the “parent” attribute may be specified to specify the direct parent type of the widget type, this is ignored by the GtkBuilder but required for Glade to introspect what kind of properties and internal children exist for a given type when the actual type does not exist.

The XML which is contained inside the <template> tag behaves as if it were added to the <object> tag defining @widget itself. You may set properties on @widget by inserting <property> tags into the <template> tag, and also add <child> tags to add children and extend @widget in the normal way you would with <object> tags.

Additionally, <object> tags can also be added before and after the initial <template> tag in the normal way, allowing one to define auxiliary objects which might be referenced by other widgets declared as children of the <template> tag.

An example of a GtkBuilder Template Definition: |[ <interface> <template class="FooWidget" parent="GtkBox"> <property name="orientation">GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL</property> <property name="spacing">4</property> <child> <object class="GtkButton" id="hello_button"> <property name="label">Hello World</property> <signal name="clicked" handler="hello_button_clicked" object="FooWidget" swapped="yes"/> </object> </child> <child> <object class="GtkButton" id="goodbye_button"> <property name="label">Goodbye World</property> </object> </child> </template> </interface> ]|

Typically, you'll place the template fragment into a file that is bundled with your project, using #GResource. In order to load the template, you need to call gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource() from the class initialization of your #GtkWidget type:

|[<!-- language="C" --> static void foo_widget_class_init (FooWidgetClass *klass) { // ...

gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), "/com/example/ui/foowidget.ui"); } ]|

You will also need to call gtk_widget_init_template() from the instance initialization function:

|[<!-- language="C" --> static void foo_widget_init (FooWidget *self) { // ... gtk_widget_init_template (GTK_WIDGET (self)); } ]|

You can access widgets defined in the template using the gtk_widget_get_template_child() function, but you will typically declare a pointer in the instance private data structure of your type using the same name as the widget in the template definition, and call gtk_widget_class_bind_template_child_private() with that name, e.g.

|[<!-- language="C" --> typedef struct { GtkWidget *hello_button; GtkWidget *goodbye_button; } FooWidgetPrivate;

G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE (FooWidget, foo_widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX)

static void foo_widget_class_init (FooWidgetClass *klass) { // ... gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), "/com/example/ui/foowidget.ui"); gtk_widget_class_bind_template_child_private (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), FooWidget, hello_button); gtk_widget_class_bind_template_child_private (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), FooWidget, goodbye_button); }

static void foo_widget_init (FooWidget *widget) {

} ]|

You can also use gtk_widget_class_bind_template_callback() to connect a signal callback defined in the template with a function visible in the scope of the class, e.g.

|[<!-- language="C" --> // the signal handler has the instance and user data swapped // because of the swapped="yes" attribute in the template XML static void hello_button_clicked (FooWidget *self, GtkButton *button) { g_print ("Hello, world!\n"); }

static void foo_widget_class_init (FooWidgetClass *klass) { // ... gtk_widget_class_set_template_from_resource (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), "/com/example/ui/foowidget.ui"); gtk_widget_class_bind_template_callback (GTK_WIDGET_CLASS (klass), hello_button_clicked); } ]|

Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.

Members

Functions

activate
bool 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.

addAccelerator
void addAccelerator(string accelSignal, AccelGroup accelGroup, uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods, GtkAccelFlags accelFlags)

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 %G_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_accel_map_add_entry() and gtk_widget_set_accel_path() or gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() instead.

addDeviceEvents
void addDeviceEvents(Device device, GdkEventMask events)

Adds the device events in the bitfield @events to the event mask for @widget. See gtk_widget_set_device_events() for details.

addEvents
void addEvents(int events)

Adds the events in the bitfield @events to the event mask for @widget. See gtk_widget_set_events() and the [input handling overview][event-masks] for details.

addMnemonicLabel
void addMnemonicLabel(Widget label)

Adds a widget to the list of mnemonic labels for this widget. (See gtk_widget_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, by using a connection to the #GtkWidget::destroy signal or a weak notifier.

addOnAccelClosuresChanged
gulong addOnAccelClosuresChanged(void delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)
addOnButtonPress
gulong addOnButtonPress(bool delegate(GdkEventButton*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.

addOnButtonPress
gulong addOnButtonPress(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.

addOnButtonRelease
gulong addOnButtonRelease(bool delegate(GdkEventButton*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.

addOnButtonRelease
gulong addOnButtonRelease(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.

addOnCanActivateAccel
gulong addOnCanActivateAccel(bool delegate(uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Determines whether an accelerator that activates the signal identified by @signal_id can currently be activated. This signal is present to allow applications and derived widgets to override the default #GtkWidget handling for determining whether an accelerator can be activated.

addOnChildNotify
gulong addOnChildNotify(void delegate(ParamSpec, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::child-notify signal is emitted for each [child property][child-properties] that has changed on an object. The signal's detail holds the property name.

addOnCompositedChanged
gulong addOnCompositedChanged(void delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::composited-changed signal is emitted when the composited status of @widgets screen changes. See gdk_screen_is_composited().

addOnConfigure
gulong addOnConfigure(bool delegate(GdkEventConfigure*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::configure-event signal will be emitted when the size, position or stacking of the @widget's window has changed.

addOnConfigure
gulong addOnConfigure(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::configure-event signal will be emitted when the size, position or stacking of the @widget's window has changed.

addOnDamage
gulong addOnDamage(bool delegate(GdkEventExpose*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

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.

addOnDamage
gulong addOnDamage(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

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.

addOnDelete
gulong addOnDelete(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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.

addOnDestroy
gulong addOnDestroy(void delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

Signals that all holders of a reference to the widget should release the reference that they hold. May result in finalization of the widget if all references are released.

addOnDestroyEvent
gulong addOnDestroyEvent(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::destroy-event signal is emitted when a #GdkWindow is destroyed. You rarely get this signal, because most widgets disconnect themselves from their window before they destroy it, so no widget owns the window at destroy time.

addOnDirectionChanged
gulong addOnDirectionChanged(void delegate(GtkTextDirection, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::direction-changed signal is emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

addOnDragBegin
gulong addOnDragBegin(void delegate(DragContext, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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_drag_source_set_icon_pixbuf().

addOnDragDataDelete
gulong addOnDragDataDelete(void delegate(DragContext, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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.

addOnDragDataGet
gulong addOnDragDataGet(void delegate(DragContext, SelectionData, uint, uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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().

addOnDragDataReceived
gulong addOnDragDataReceived(void delegate(DragContext, int, int, SelectionData, uint, uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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 #GtkWidget::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.

addOnDragDrop
gulong addOnDragDrop(bool delegate(DragContext, int, int, uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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 #GtkWidget::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.

addOnDragEnd
gulong addOnDragEnd(void delegate(DragContext, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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 #GtkWidget::drag-begin.

addOnDragFailed
gulong addOnDragFailed(bool delegate(DragContext, GtkDragResult, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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.

addOnDragLeave
gulong addOnDragLeave(void delegate(DragContext, uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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 #GtkWidget::drag-motion, e.g. undo highlighting with gtk_drag_unhighlight().

addOnDragMotion
gulong addOnDragMotion(bool delegate(DragContext, int, int, uint, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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().

addOnDraw
gulong addOnDraw(bool delegate(Scoped!Context, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

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().

addOnDraw
deprecated gulong addOnDraw(bool delegate(Context, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

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().

gulong addOnEnterNotify(bool delegate(GdkEventCrossing*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::enter-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer enters the @widget's window.

addOnEnterNotify
gulong addOnEnterNotify(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::enter-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer enters the @widget's window.

addOnEvent
gulong addOnEvent(bool delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The GTK+ main loop will emit three signals for each GDK event delivered to a widget: one generic ::event signal, another, more specific, signal that matches the type of event delivered (e.g. #GtkWidget::key-press-event) and finally a generic #GtkWidget::event-after signal.

addOnEventAfter
gulong addOnEventAfter(void delegate(Event, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

After the emission of the #GtkWidget::event signal and (optionally) the second more specific signal, ::event-after will be emitted regardless of the previous two signals handlers return values.

addOnGrabNotify
gulong addOnGrabNotify(void delegate(bool, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::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.

The ::hide signal is emitted when @widget is hidden, for example with gtk_widget_hide().

addOnHierarchyChanged
gulong addOnHierarchyChanged(void delegate(Widget, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::hierarchy-changed signal is emitted when the anchored state of a widget changes. A widget is “anchored” when its toplevel ancestor is a #GtkWindow. This signal is emitted when a widget changes from un-anchored to anchored or vice-versa.

addOnKeyPress

The ::leave-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer leaves the @widget's window.

addOnMap
gulong addOnMap(void delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::map signal is emitted when @widget is going to be mapped, that is when the widget is visible (which is controlled with gtk_widget_set_visible()) and all its parents up to the toplevel widget are also visible. Once the map has occurred, #GtkWidget::map-event will be emitted.

addOnMapEvent
gulong addOnMapEvent(bool delegate(GdkEventAny*, Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

addOnPopupMenu
gulong addOnPopupMenu(bool delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

This signal gets emitted whenever a widget should pop up a context menu. This usually happens through the standard key binding mechanism; by pressing a certain key while a widget is focused, the user can cause the widget to pop up a menu. For example, the #GtkEntry widget creates a menu with clipboard commands. See the [Popup Menu Migration Checklist][checklist-popup-menu] for an example of how to use this signal.

addOnUnmap
gulong addOnUnmap(void delegate(Widget) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The ::unmap signal is emitted when @widget is going to be unmapped, which means that either it or any of its parents up to the toplevel widget have been set as hidden.

addOnUnmapEvent

addTickCallback
void addTickCallback(bool delegate(Widget, FrameClock) callback)

Queues an animation frame update and adds a callback to be called before each frame. Until the tick callback is removed, it will be called frequently (usually at the frame rate of the output device or as quickly as the application can be repainted, whichever is slower). For this reason, is most suitable for handling graphics that change every frame or every few frames. The tick callback does not automatically imply a relayout or repaint. If you want a repaint or relayout, and aren't changing widget properties that would trigger that (for example, changing the text of a gtk.Label), then you will have to call queueResize() or queuDrawArea() yourself.

addTickCallback
uint addTickCallback(GtkTickCallback callback, void* userData, GDestroyNotify notify)

Queues an animation frame update and adds a callback to be called before each frame. Until the tick callback is removed, it will be called frequently (usually at the frame rate of the output device or as quickly as the application can be repainted, whichever is slower). For this reason, is most suitable for handling graphics that change every frame or every few frames. The tick callback does not automatically imply a relayout or repaint. If you want a repaint or relayout, and aren’t changing widget properties that would trigger that (for example, changing the text of a #GtkLabel), then you will have to call gtk_widget_queue_resize() or gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() yourself.

canActivateAccel
bool canActivateAccel(uint signalId)

Determines whether an accelerator that activates the signal identified by @signal_id can currently be activated. This is done by emitting the #GtkWidget::can-activate-accel signal on @widget; if the signal isn’t overridden by a handler or in a derived widget, then the default check is that the widget must be sensitive, and the widget and all its ancestors mapped.

childFocus
bool childFocus(GtkDirectionType direction)

This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're writing an app, you’d use gtk_widget_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.

childNotify
void childNotify(string childProperty)

Emits a #GtkWidget::child-notify signal for the [child property][child-properties] @child_property on @widget.

classPath
void classPath(uint pathLength, string path, string pathReversed)

Same as gtk_widget_path(), but always uses the name of a widget’s type, never uses a custom name set with gtk_widget_set_name().

computeExpand
bool computeExpand(GtkOrientation orientation)

Computes whether a container should give this widget extra space when possible. Containers should check this, rather than looking at gtk_widget_get_hexpand() or gtk_widget_get_vexpand().

createPangoContext
PgContext createPangoContext()

Creates a new #PangoContext with the appropriate font map, font options, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget. See also gtk_widget_get_pango_context().

createPangoLayout
PgLayout createPangoLayout(string text)

Creates a new #PangoLayout with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

destroy
void destroy()

Destroys a widget.

destroyed
void destroyed(Widget widgetPointer)

This function sets *@widget_pointer to %NULL if @widget_pointer != %NULL. It’s intended to be used as a callback connected to the “destroy” signal of a widget. You connect gtk_widget_destroyed() as a signal handler, and pass the address of your widget variable as user data. Then when the widget is destroyed, the variable will be set to %NULL. Useful for example to avoid multiple copies of the same dialog.

deviceIsShadowed
bool deviceIsShadowed(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 #GtkWidget::grab-notify signal to check for specific devices. See gtk_device_grab_add().

dragBegin
DragContext dragBegin(TargetList targets, GdkDragAction actions, int button, Event event)

This function is equivalent to gtk_drag_begin_with_coordinates(), passing -1, -1 as coordinates.

dragBeginWithCoordinates
DragContext dragBeginWithCoordinates(TargetList targets, GdkDragAction actions, int button, Event event, int x, int y)

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_drag_source_set() is used.

dragCheckThreshold
bool dragCheckThreshold(int startX, int startY, int currentX, int currentY)

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.

dragDestAddImageTargets
void dragDestAddImageTargets()

Add the image targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag destination. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_image_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

dragDestAddTextTargets
void dragDestAddTextTargets()

Add the text targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag destination. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_text_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

dragDestAddUriTargets
void dragDestAddUriTargets()

Add the URI targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag destination. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_uri_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

dragDestFindTarget
GdkAtom dragDestFindTarget(DragContext context, TargetList targetList)

Looks for a match between the supported targets of @context 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.

dragDestGetTargetList
TargetList dragDestGetTargetList()

Returns the list of targets this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.

dragDestGetTrackMotion
bool dragDestGetTrackMotion()

Returns whether the widget has been configured to always emit #GtkWidget::drag-motion signals.

Sets this widget as a proxy for drops to another window.

dragDestSetTargetList
void dragDestSetTargetList(TargetList targetList)

Sets the target types that this widget can accept from drag-and-drop. The widget must first be made into a drag destination with gtk_drag_dest_set().

dragDestSetTrackMotion
void dragDestSetTrackMotion(bool trackMotion)

Tells the widget to emit #GtkWidget::drag-motion and #GtkWidget::drag-leave events regardless of the targets and the %GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION flag.

dragDestUnset
void dragDestUnset()

Clears information about a drop destination set with gtk_drag_dest_set(). The widget will no longer receive notification of drags.

dragGetData
void dragGetData(DragContext context, GdkAtom target, uint time)

Gets the data associated with a drag. When the data is received or the retrieval fails, GTK+ will emit a #GtkWidget::drag-data-received signal. Failure of the retrieval is indicated by the length field of the @selection_data signal parameter being negative. However, when gtk_drag_get_data() is called implicitely because the %GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP was set, then the widget will not receive notification of failed drops.

dragHighlight
void dragHighlight()

Highlights a widget as a currently hovered drop target. To end the highlight, call gtk_drag_unhighlight(). GTK+ calls this automatically if %GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_HIGHLIGHT is set.

dragSourceAddImageTargets
void dragSourceAddImageTargets()

Add the writable image targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag source. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_image_targets() and gtk_drag_source_set_target_list().

dragSourceAddTextTargets
void dragSourceAddTextTargets()

Add the text targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag source. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_text_targets() and gtk_drag_source_set_target_list().

dragSourceAddUriTargets
void dragSourceAddUriTargets()

Add the URI targets supported by #GtkSelectionData to the target list of the drag source. The targets are added with @info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_uri_targets() and gtk_drag_source_set_target_list().

dragSourceGetTargetList
TargetList dragSourceGetTargetList()

Gets the list of targets this widget can provide for drag-and-drop.

dragSourceSet
void dragSourceSet(GdkModifierType startButtonMask, TargetEntry[] targets, GdkDragAction actions)

Sets up a widget so that GTK+ will start a drag operation when the user clicks and drags on the widget. The widget must have a window.

dragSourceSetIconGicon

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

dragSourceSetTargetList
void dragSourceSetTargetList(TargetList targetList)

ensureStyle
void ensureStyle()

Ensures that @widget has a style (@widget->style).

errorBell
void errorBell()

Notifies the user about an input-related error on this widget. If the #GtkSettings:gtk-error-bell setting is %TRUE, it calls gdk_window_beep(), otherwise it does nothing.

event
bool event(Event 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.

freezeChildNotify
void freezeChildNotify()

Stops emission of #GtkWidget::child-notify signals on @widget. The signals are queued until gtk_widget_thaw_child_notify() is called on @widget.

getAccessible
ObjectAtk getAccessible()

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

void getAllocation(GtkAllocation allocation)

Retrieves the widget’s allocation.

getAncestor
Widget getAncestor(GType widgetType)

Gets the first ancestor of @widget with type @widget_type. For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first #GtkBox 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 #GtkWindow in the docs for gtk_widget_get_toplevel().

getAppPaintable
bool getAppPaintable()

Determines whether the application intends to draw on the widget in an #GtkWidget::draw handler.

getCanDefault
bool getCanDefault()

Determines whether @widget can be a default widget. See gtk_widget_set_can_default().

getCanFocus
bool getCanFocus()

Determines whether @widget can own the input focus. See gtk_widget_set_can_focus().

getChildRequisition
void getChildRequisition(Requisition requisition)

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Obtains @widget->requisition, unless someone has forced a particular geometry on the widget (e.g. with gtk_widget_set_size_request()), in which case it returns that geometry instead of the widget's requisition.

bool getChildVisible()

Gets the value set with gtk_widget_set_child_visible(). If you feel a need to use this function, your code probably needs reorganization.

getClip
void getClip(GtkAllocation clip)

Retrieves the widget’s clip area.

getClipboard
Clipboard getClipboard(GdkAtom selection)

Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with @widget. @widget must have a #GdkDisplay associated with it, so must be attached to a toplevel window.

Returns the events mask for the widget corresponding to an specific device. These are the events that the widget will receive when @device operates on it.

getDirection
GtkTextDirection getDirection()

Gets the reading direction for a particular widget. See gtk_widget_set_direction().

Display getDisplay()

Get the #GdkDisplay for 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 #GtkWindow at the top.

getDoubleBuffered
bool getDoubleBuffered()

Determines whether the widget is double buffered.

getEvents
int getEvents()

Returns the event mask (see #GdkEventMask) for the widget. These are the events that the widget will receive.

Returns the #cairo_font_options_t used for Pango rendering. When not set, the defaults font options for the #GdkScreen will be used.

getFrameClock
FrameClock getFrameClock()

Obtains the frame clock for a widget. The frame clock is a global “ticker” that can be used to drive animations and repaints. The most common reason to get the frame clock is to call gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time(), in order to get a time to use for animating. For example you might record the start of the animation with an initial value from gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time(), and then update the animation by calling gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time() again during each repaint.

getHalign
GtkAlign getHalign()

Returns the modifier mask the @widget’s windowing system backend uses for a particular purpose.

getModifierStyle
RcStyle getModifierStyle()

Returns the current modifier style for the widget. (As set by gtk_widget_modify_style().) If no style has previously set, a new #GtkRcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call gtk_widget_modify_style(), passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

getName
string getName()

Retrieves the name of a widget. See gtk_widget_set_name() for the significance of widget names.

getNoShowAll
bool getNoShowAll()

Returns the current value of the #GtkWidget:no-show-all property, which determines whether calls to gtk_widget_show_all() will affect this widget.

getOpacity
double getOpacity()

Fetches the requested opacity for this widget. See gtk_widget_set_opacity().

getPangoContext
PgContext getPangoContext()

Gets a #PangoContext with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for this widget. Unlike the context returned by gtk_widget_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. This can be tracked by using the #GtkWidget::screen-changed signal on the widget.

getParent
Widget getParent()

Returns the parent container of @widget.

getParentWindow
GdkWin getParentWindow()

Gets @widget’s parent window, or %NULL if it does not have one.

Returns the #GtkWidgetPath representing @widget, if the widget is not connected to a toplevel widget, a partial path will be created.

getPointer
void getPointer(int x, int y)

Obtains the location of the mouse pointer in widget coordinates. Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as @widget->window coordinates for widgets that return %TRUE for gtk_widget_get_has_window(); and are relative to @widget->allocation.x, @widget->allocation.y otherwise.

getPreferredHeight
void getPreferredHeight(int minimumHeight, int naturalHeight)

Retrieves a widget’s initial minimum and natural height.

getPreferredHeightAndBaselineForWidth
void getPreferredHeightAndBaselineForWidth(int width, int minimumHeight, int naturalHeight, int minimumBaseline, int naturalBaseline)

Retrieves a widget’s minimum and natural height and the corresponding baselines if it would be given the specified @width, or the default height if @width is -1. The baselines may be -1 which means that no baseline is requested for this widget.

getPreferredHeightForWidth

Retrieves a widget’s minimum and natural height if it would be given the specified @width.

getPreferredSize
void getPreferredSize(Requisition minimumSize, Requisition naturalSize)

getRealized
bool getRealized()

Determines whether @widget is realized.

getReceivesDefault
bool getReceivesDefault()

Determines whether @widget is always treated as the default widget within its toplevel when it has the focus, even if another widget is the default.

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 #GtkWindow at the top.

getScaleFactor
int getScaleFactor()

Retrieves the internal scale factor that maps from window coordinates to the actual device pixels. On traditional systems this is 1, on high density outputs, it can be a higher value (typically 2).

getScreen
Screen getScreen()

getSensitive
bool getSensitive()

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

getSettings
Settings getSettings()

Gets the settings object holding the settings used for this widget.

getSizeRequest
void getSizeRequest(int width, int height)

Gets the size request that was explicitly set for the widget using gtk_widget_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 instead. See gtk_widget_set_size_request(). To get the size a widget will actually request, call gtk_widget_get_preferred_size() instead of this function.

getStateFlags
GtkStateFlags getStateFlags()

Returns the widget state as a flag set. It is worth mentioning that the effective %GTK_STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE state will be returned, that is, also based on parent insensitivity, even if @widget itself is sensitive.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

getStyle
Style getStyle()

Simply an accessor function that returns @widget->style.

Returns the #GtkWindow of the current tooltip. This can be the GtkWindow created by default, or the custom tooltip window set using gtk_widget_set_tooltip_window().

getToplevel
Widget getToplevel()

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.

getValign
GtkAlign getValign()

Gets the value of the #GtkWidget:valign property.

getValignWithBaseline
GtkAlign getValignWithBaseline()

Gets the value of the #GtkWidget:valign property, including %GTK_ALIGN_BASELINE.

getVexpand
bool getVexpand()

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

getVexpandSet
bool getVexpandSet()

Gets whether gtk_widget_set_vexpand() has been used to explicitly set the expand flag on this widget.

getVisible
bool getVisible()

Determines whether the widget is visible. If you want to take into account whether the widget’s parent is also marked as visible, use gtk_widget_is_visible() instead.

getVisual
Visual getVisual()

Gets the visual that will be used to render @widget.

getWidgetClass
GtkWidgetClass* getWidgetClass()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getWidgetStruct
GtkWidget* getWidgetStruct(bool transferOwnership)

Get the main Gtk struct

getWidth
int getWidth()
getWindow
GdkWin getWindow()

Returns the widget’s window if it is realized, %NULL otherwise

grabAdd
void grabAdd()

Makes @widget the current grabbed widget.

grabDefault
void grabDefault()

Causes @widget to become the default widget. @widget must be able to be a default widget; typically you would ensure this yourself by calling gtk_widget_set_can_default() with a %TRUE value. The default widget is activated when the user presses Enter in a window. Default widgets must be activatable, that is, gtk_widget_activate() should affect them. Note that #GtkEntry widgets require the “activates-default” property set to %TRUE before they activate the default widget when Enter is pressed and the #GtkEntry is focused.

grabFocus
void grabFocus()

Causes @widget to have the keyboard focus for the #GtkWindow it's inside. @widget must be a focusable widget, such as a #GtkEntry; something like #GtkFrame won’t work.

grabRemove
void grabRemove()

Removes the grab from the given widget.

hasDefault
bool hasDefault()

Determines whether @widget is the current default widget within its toplevel. See gtk_widget_set_can_default().

hasFocus
bool hasFocus()

Determines if the widget has the global input focus. See gtk_widget_is_focus() for the difference between having the global input focus, and only having the focus within a toplevel.

hasGrab
bool hasGrab()

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

hasRcStyle
bool hasRcStyle()

Determines if the widget style has been looked up through the rc mechanism.

hasScreen
bool hasScreen()

Checks whether there is a #GdkScreen 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.

hasVisibleFocus
bool hasVisibleFocus()

Determines if the widget should show a visible indication that it has the global input focus. This is a convenience function for use in ::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.

hide
void hide()

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

hideOnDelete
bool hideOnDelete()

Utility function; intended to be connected to the #GtkWidget::delete-event signal on a #GtkWindow. The function calls gtk_widget_hide() on its argument, then returns %TRUE. If connected to ::delete-event, the result is that clicking the close button for a window (on the window frame, top right corner usually) will hide but not destroy the window. By default, GTK+ destroys windows when ::delete-event is received.

inDestruction
bool inDestruction()

Returns whether the widget is currently being destroyed. This information can sometimes be used to avoid doing unnecessary work.

initTemplate
void initTemplate()

Creates and initializes child widgets defined in templates. This function must be called in the instance initializer for any class which assigned itself a template using gtk_widget_class_set_template()

inputShapeCombineRegion
void inputShapeCombineRegion(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.

insertActionGroup
void insertActionGroup(string name, ActionGroupIF group)

Inserts @group into @widget. Children of @widget that implement #GtkActionable can then be associated with actions in @group by setting their “action-name” to @prefix.action-name.

intersect
bool intersect(GdkRectangle* area, GdkRectangle intersection)

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 %NULL if you’re only interested in whether there was an intersection.

isAncestor
bool isAncestor(Widget ancestor)

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

isComposited
bool isComposited()

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.

isDrawable
bool isDrawable()

Determines whether @widget can be drawn to. A widget can be drawn to if it is mapped and visible.

isFocus
bool isFocus()

Determines if the widget is the focus widget within its toplevel. (This does not mean that the #GtkWidget:has-focus property is necessarily set; #GtkWidget:has-focus will only be set if the toplevel widget additionally has the global input focus.)

isSensitive
bool isSensitive()

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

isToplevel
bool isToplevel()

Determines whether @widget is a toplevel widget.

isVisible
bool isVisible()

Determines whether the widget and all its parents are marked as visible.

keynavFailed
bool keynavFailed(GtkDirectionType direction)

This function should be called whenever keyboard navigation within a single widget hits a boundary. The function emits the #GtkWidget::keynav-failed signal on the widget and its return value should be interpreted in a way similar to the return value of gtk_widget_child_focus():

listAccelClosures
ListG listAccelClosures()

Lists the closures used by @widget for accelerator group connections with gtk_accel_group_connect_by_path() or gtk_accel_group_connect(). The closures can be used to monitor accelerator changes on @widget, by connecting to the @GtkAccelGroup::accel-changed signal of the #GtkAccelGroup of a closure which can be found out with gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure().

listActionPrefixes
string[] listActionPrefixes()

Retrieves a %NULL-terminated array of strings containing the prefixes of #GActionGroup's available to @widget.

listMnemonicLabels
ListG listMnemonicLabels()

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()).

map
void map()

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be mapped if it isn’t already.

mnemonicActivate
bool mnemonicActivate(bool groupCycling)

Emits the #GtkWidget::mnemonic-activate signal.

modifyBase
void modifyBase(GtkStateType state, Color color)

Sets the base color for a widget in a particular state. All other style values are left untouched. The base color is the background color used along with the text color (see gtk_widget_modify_text()) for widgets such as #GtkEntry and #GtkTextView. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

modifyBg
void modifyBg(GtkStateType state, Color color)

Sets the background color for a widget in a particular state.

modifyCursor
void modifyCursor(Color primary, Color secondary)

Sets the cursor color to use in a widget, overriding the #GtkWidget cursor-color and secondary-cursor-color style properties.

modifyFg
void modifyFg(GtkStateType state, Color color)

Sets the foreground color for a widget in a particular state.

modifyFont
void modifyFont(string family, int size)

Modifies the font for this widget. This just calls modifyFont(new PgFontDescription(PgFontDescription.fromString(family ~ " " ~ size)));

modifyFont
void modifyFont(PgFontDescription fontDesc)

Sets the font to use for a widget.

modifyStyle
void modifyStyle(RcStyle style)

Modifies style values on the widget.

modifyText
void modifyText(GtkStateType state, Color color)

Sets the text color for a widget in a particular state.

Sets the background color to use for a widget.

overrideColor
void overrideColor(GtkStateFlags state, RGBA color)

Sets the color to use for a widget.

overrideCursor
void overrideCursor(RGBA cursor, RGBA secondaryCursor)

Sets the cursor color to use in a widget, overriding the cursor-color and secondary-cursor-color style properties. All other style values are left untouched. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

overrideFont
void overrideFont(PgFontDescription fontDesc)

Sets the font to use for a widget. All other style values are left untouched. See gtk_widget_override_color().

overrideSymbolicColor
void overrideSymbolicColor(string name, RGBA color)

Sets a symbolic color for a widget.

path
void path(uint pathLength, string path, string pathReversed)

Obtains the full path to @widget. The path is simply the name of a widget and all its parents in the container hierarchy, separated by periods. The name of a widget comes from gtk_widget_get_name(). Paths are used to apply styles to a widget in gtkrc configuration files. Widget names are the type of the widget by default (e.g. “GtkButton”) or can be set to an application-specific value with gtk_widget_set_name(). By setting the name of a widget, you allow users or theme authors to apply styles to that specific widget in their gtkrc file. @path_reversed_p fills in the path in reverse order, i.e. starting with @widget’s name instead of starting with the name of @widget’s outermost ancestor.

queueAllocate
void queueAllocate()

This function is only for use in widget implementations.

queueComputeExpand
void queueComputeExpand()

Mark @widget as needing to recompute its expand flags. Call this function when setting legacy expand child properties on the child of a container.

queueDraw
void queueDraw()

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

queueDrawArea
void queueDrawArea(int x, int y, int width, int height)

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

queueDrawRegion
void queueDrawRegion(Region region)

Invalidates the 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.

queueResize
void queueResize()

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 #GtkLabel, #GtkLabel queues a resize to ensure there’s enough space for the new text.

queueResizeNoRedraw
void queueResizeNoRedraw()

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

realize
void realize()

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.

regionIntersect
Region regionIntersect(Region region)

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.

registerWindow
void registerWindow(GdkWin window)

Registers a #GdkWindow with the widget and sets it up so that the widget receives events for it. Call gtk_widget_unregister_window() when destroying the window.

removeAccelerator
bool removeAccelerator(AccelGroup accelGroup, uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods)

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

removeMnemonicLabel
void removeMnemonicLabel(Widget label)

Removes a widget from the list of mnemonic labels for this widget. (See gtk_widget_list_mnemonic_labels()). The widget must have previously been added to the list with gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label().

removeTickCallback
void removeTickCallback(uint id)

Removes a tick callback previously registered with gtk_widget_add_tick_callback().

renderIcon
Pixbuf renderIcon(string stockId, GtkIconSize size, string detail)

A convenience function that uses the theme 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. @detail should be a string that identifies the widget or code doing the rendering, so that theme engines can special-case rendering for that widget or code.

renderIconPixbuf
Pixbuf renderIconPixbuf(string stockId, GtkIconSize 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.

reparent
void reparent(Widget newParent)

Moves a widget from one #GtkContainer to another, handling reference count issues to avoid destroying the widget.

resetCursor
void resetCursor()

Resets the cursor. don't know if this is implemented by GTK+. Seems that it's not

resetRcStyles
void resetRcStyles()

Reset the styles of @widget and all descendents, so when they are looked up again, they get the correct values for the currently loaded RC file settings.

resetStyle
void resetStyle()

Updates the style context of @widget and all descendants by updating its widget path. #GtkContainers 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().

sendExpose
int sendExpose(Event 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 windowless child widget (gtk_widget_get_has_window() is %FALSE), and that is normally done using gtk_container_propagate_draw().

sendFocusChange
bool sendFocusChange(Event event)

Sends the focus change @event to @widget

setAccelPath
void setAccelPath(string accelPath, AccelGroup accelGroup)

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 gtk_widget_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_accel_map_save().)

setAllocation
void setAllocation(GtkAllocation* allocation)

Sets the widget’s allocation. This should not be used directly, but from within a widget’s size_allocate method.

setAppPaintable
void setAppPaintable(bool appPaintable)

Sets whether the application intends to draw on the widget in an #GtkWidget::draw handler.

setCanDefault
void setCanDefault(bool canDefault)

Specifies whether @widget can be a default widget. See gtk_widget_grab_default() for details about the meaning of “default”.

setCanFocus
void setCanFocus(bool canFocus)

Specifies whether @widget can own the input focus. See gtk_widget_grab_focus() for actually setting the input focus on a widget.

setChildVisible
void setChildVisible(bool isVisible)

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

setClip
void setClip(GtkAllocation* clip)

Sets the widget’s clip. This must not be used directly, but from within a widget’s size_allocate method. It must be called after gtk_widget_set_allocation() (or after chaining up to the parent class), because that function resets the clip.

setCompositeName
void setCompositeName(string name)

Sets a widgets composite name. The widget must be a composite child of its parent; see gtk_widget_push_composite_child().

setCursor
void setCursor(Cursor cursor)

Sets the cursor.

setDeviceEnabled
void setDeviceEnabled(Device device, bool enabled)

Enables or disables a #GdkDevice to interact with @widget and all its children.

setDeviceEvents
void setDeviceEvents(Device device, GdkEventMask events)

Sets the device event mask (see #GdkEventMask) 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 gtk_widget_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 windowless widgets (which return %FALSE from gtk_widget_get_has_window()); to get events on those widgets, place them inside a #GtkEventBox and receive events on the event box.

setDirection
void setDirection(GtkTextDirection 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 explicitly visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).

setDoubleBuffered
void setDoubleBuffered(bool doubleBuffered)

Widgets are double buffered by default; you can use this function to turn off the buffering. “Double buffered” simply means that gdk_window_begin_draw_frame() and gdk_window_end_draw_frame() are called automatically around expose events sent to the widget. gdk_window_begin_draw_frame() diverts all drawing to a widget's window to an offscreen buffer, and gdk_window_end_draw_frame() 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.

setEvents
void setEvents(int events)

Sets the event mask (see #GdkEventMask) 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 gtk_widget_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 widgets that have no window. (See gtk_widget_get_has_window()). To get events on those widgets, place them inside a #GtkEventBox and receive events on the event box.

setFocusOnClick
void setFocusOnClick(bool focusOnClick)

Sets whether the widget should grab focus when it is clicked with the mouse. Making mouse clicks not grab focus is useful in places like toolbars where you don’t want the keyboard focus removed from the main area of the application.

setFontMap
void setFontMap(PgFontMap fontMap)

Sets the font map to use for Pango rendering. When not set, the widget will inherit the font map from its parent.

setFontOptions
void setFontOptions(FontOption options)

Sets the #cairo_font_options_t used for Pango rendering in this widget. When not set, the default font options for the #GdkScreen will be used.

setHalign
void setHalign(GtkAlign align_)

Sets the horizontal alignment of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:halign property.

setHasTooltip
void setHasTooltip(bool hasTooltip)

Sets the has-tooltip property on @widget to @has_tooltip. See #GtkWidget:has-tooltip for more information.

setHasWindow
void setHasWindow(bool hasWindow)

Specifies whether @widget has a #GdkWindow of its own. Note that all realized widgets have a non-%NULL “window” pointer (gtk_widget_get_window() never returns a %NULL window when a widget is realized), but for many of them it’s actually the #GdkWindow of one of its parent widgets. Widgets that do not create a %window for themselves in #GtkWidget::realize must announce this by calling this function with @has_window = %FALSE.

setHexpand
void setHexpand(bool expand)

Sets whether the widget would like any available extra horizontal space. When a user resizes a #GtkWindow, 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.

setHexpandSet
void setHexpandSet(bool set)

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

setMapped
void setMapped(bool mapped)

Marks the widget as being mapped.

setMarginBottom
void setMarginBottom(int margin)

Sets the bottom margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-bottom property.

setMarginEnd
void setMarginEnd(int margin)

Sets the end margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-end property.

setMarginLeft
void setMarginLeft(int margin)

Sets the left margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-left property.

setMarginRight
void setMarginRight(int margin)

Sets the right margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-right property.

setMarginStart
void setMarginStart(int margin)

Sets the start margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-start property.

setMarginTop
void setMarginTop(int margin)

Sets the top margin of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:margin-top property.

setName
void setName(string 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 #GtkStyleContext).

setNoShowAll
void setNoShowAll(bool noShowAll)

Sets the #GtkWidget:no-show-all property, which determines whether calls to gtk_widget_show_all() will affect this widget.

setOpacity
void setOpacity(double opacity)

Request the @widget to be rendered partially transparent, with opacity 0 being fully transparent and 1 fully opaque. (Opacity values are clamped to the [0,1] range.). This works on both toplevel widget, and child widgets, although there are some limitations:

setParent
void setParent(Widget parent)

This function is useful only when implementing subclasses of #GtkContainer. 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 gtk_widget_unparent().

setParentWindow
void setParentWindow(GdkWin parentWindow)

Sets a non default parent window for @widget.

setRealized
void setRealized(bool realized)

Marks the widget as being realized. This function must only be called after all #GdkWindows for the @widget have been created and registered.

setReceivesDefault
void setReceivesDefault(bool receivesDefault)

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.

setRedrawOnAllocate
void setRedrawOnAllocate(bool redrawOnAllocate)

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.

setSensitive
void setSensitive(bool sensitive)

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.

setSizeRequest
void setSizeRequest(int width, int height)

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget’s size request will be at least @width by @height. You can use this function to force a widget to be larger than it normally would be.

setStateFlags
void setStateFlags(GtkStateFlags flags, bool clear)

This function is for use in widget implementations. Turns on flag values in the current widget state (insensitive, prelighted, etc.).

setStyle
void setStyle(Style style)

Used to set the #GtkStyle for a widget (@widget->style). Since GTK 3, this function does nothing, the passed in style is ignored.

setSupportMultidevice
void setSupportMultidevice(bool supportMultidevice)

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 #GdkWindows are created in #GtkWidget::realize, gdk_window_set_support_multidevice() will have to be called manually on them.

setTooltipMarkup
void setTooltipMarkup(string markup)

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

setTooltipText
void setTooltipText(string text)

Sets @text as the contents of the tooltip. This function will take care of setting #GtkWidget:has-tooltip to %TRUE and of the default handler for the #GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal.

setTooltipWindow
void setTooltipWindow(Window customWindow)

Replaces the default 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 %NULL, the default tooltip window will be used.

setValign
void setValign(GtkAlign align_)

Sets the vertical alignment of @widget. See the #GtkWidget:valign property.

setVexpand
void setVexpand(bool expand)

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

setVexpandSet
void setVexpandSet(bool set)

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

setVisible
void setVisible(bool visible)

Sets the visibility state of @widget. Note that setting this to %TRUE doesn’t mean the widget is actually viewable, see gtk_widget_get_visible().

setVisual
void setVisual(Visual visual)

Sets the visual that should be used for by widget and its children for creating #GdkWindows. The visual must be on the same #GdkScreen as returned by gtk_widget_get_screen(), so handling the #GtkWidget::screen-changed signal is necessary.

setWindow
void setWindow(GdkWin window)

Sets a widget’s window. This function should only be used in a widget’s #GtkWidget::realize implementation. The %window passed is usually either new window created with gdk_window_new(), or the window of its parent widget as returned by gtk_widget_get_parent_window().

shapeCombineRegion
void shapeCombineRegion(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.

show
void 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 gtk_widget_show_all() on the container, instead of individually showing the widgets.

showAll
void showAll()

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

showNow
void showNow()

Shows a widget. If the widget is an unmapped toplevel widget (i.e. a #GtkWindow 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.

sizeAllocate
void sizeAllocate(GtkAllocation* allocation)

This function is only used by #GtkContainer subclasses, to assign a size and position to their child widgets.

sizeAllocateWithBaseline
void sizeAllocateWithBaseline(GtkAllocation* allocation, int baseline)

This function is only used by #GtkContainer subclasses, to assign a size, position and (optionally) baseline to their child widgets.

sizeRequest
void sizeRequest(Requisition requisition)

This function is typically used when implementing a #GtkContainer subclass. Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what size allocations to give them with gtk_widget_size_allocate().

styleAttach
void styleAttach()

This function attaches the widget’s #GtkStyle to the widget's #GdkWindow. It is a replacement for

styleGetProperty
void styleGetProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets the value of a style property of @widget.

styleGetValist
void styleGetValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Non-vararg variant of gtk_widget_style_get(). Used primarily by language bindings.

thawChildNotify
void thawChildNotify()

Reverts the effect of a previous call to gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify(). This causes all queued #GtkWidget::child-notify signals on @widget to be emitted.

translateCoordinates
bool translateCoordinates(Widget destWidget, int srcX, int srcY, int destX, int destY)

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.

triggerTooltipQuery
void triggerTooltipQuery()

Triggers a tooltip query on the display where the toplevel of @widget is located. See gtk_tooltip_trigger_tooltip_query() for more information.

unmap
void unmap()

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unmapped if it’s currently mapped.

unparent
void unparent()

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Should be called by implementations of the remove method on #GtkContainer, to dissociate a child from the container.

unrealize
void unrealize()

This function is only useful in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unrealized (frees all GDK resources associated with the widget, such as @widget->window).

unregisterWindow
void unregisterWindow(GdkWin window)

Unregisters a #GdkWindow from the widget that was previously set up with gtk_widget_register_window(). You need to call this when the window is no longer used by the widget, such as when you destroy it.

unsetStateFlags
void unsetStateFlags(GtkStateFlags flags)

This function is for use in widget implementations. Turns off flag values for the current widget state (insensitive, prelighted, etc.). See gtk_widget_set_state_flags().

Static functions

cairoShouldDrawWindow
bool cairoShouldDrawWindow(Context cr, GdkWin window)

This function is supposed to be called in #GtkWidget::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.

cairoTransformToWindow
void cairoTransformToWindow(Context cr, Widget widget, GdkWin window)

Transforms the given cairo context @cr that from @widget-relative coordinates to @window-relative coordinates. If the @widget’s window is not an ancestor of @window, no modification will be applied.

distributeNaturalAllocation
int distributeNaturalAllocation(int extraSpace, uint nRequestedSizes, GtkRequestedSize* sizes)

Distributes @extra_space to child @sizes by bringing smaller children up to natural size first.

getDefaultDirection
GtkTextDirection getDefaultDirection()

Obtains the current default reading direction. See gtk_widget_set_default_direction().

getDefaultStyle
Style getDefaultStyle()

Returns the default style used by all widgets initially.

getType

addOnNotify
gulong addOnNotify(void delegate(ParamSpec, ObjectG) dlg, string property, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value.

getType
GType getType()
compatControl
size_t compatControl(size_t what, void* data)
interfaceFindProperty
ParamSpec interfaceFindProperty(TypeInterface gIface, string propertyName)

Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

interfaceInstallProperty
void interfaceInstallProperty(TypeInterface gIface, ParamSpec pspec)

Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

interfaceListProperties
ParamSpec[] interfaceListProperties(TypeInterface gIface)

Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

addToggleRef
void addToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established.

addWeakPointer
void addWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to @object to indicate that the pointer located at @weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of @object. When the @object is finalized, @weak_pointer will be set to %NULL.

bindProperty
Binding bindProperty(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target. Whenever the @source_property is changed the @target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

bindPropertyFull
Binding bindPropertyFull(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, GBindingTransformFunc transformTo, GBindingTransformFunc transformFrom, void* userData, GDestroyNotify notify)

Complete version of g_object_bind_property().

bindPropertyWithClosures
Binding bindPropertyWithClosures(string sourceProperty, ObjectG target, string targetProperty, GBindingFlags flags, Closure transformTo, Closure transformFrom)

Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

dupData
void* dupData(string key, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_data() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

dupQdata
void* dupQdata(GQuark quark, GDuplicateFunc dupFunc, void* userData)

This is a variant of g_object_get_qdata() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.

forceFloating
void forceFloating()

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().

freezeNotify
void freezeNotify()

Increases the freeze count on @object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on @object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.

getData
void* getData(string key)

Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

getProperty
void getProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets a property of an object.

getQdata
void* getQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().

getValist
void getValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets properties of an object.

getv
void getv(string[] names, Value[] values)

Gets @n_properties properties for an @object. Obtained properties will be set to @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

isFloating
bool isFloating()

Checks whether @object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.

notify
void notify(string propertyName)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property @property_name on @object.

notifyByPspec
void notifyByPspec(ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by @pspec on @object.

doref
alias doref = ref_
Undocumented in source.
ref_
ObjectG ref_()

Increases the reference count of @object.

refSink
ObjectG refSink()

Increase the reference count of @object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if @object has a floating reference.

removeToggleRef
void removeToggleRef(GToggleNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one.

removeWeakPointer
void removeWeakPointer(void* weakPointerLocation)

Removes a weak reference from @object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The @weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().

replaceData
bool replaceData(string key, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @key on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

replaceQdata
bool replaceQdata(GQuark quark, void* oldval, void* newval, GDestroyNotify destroy, GDestroyNotify oldDestroy)

Compares the user data for the key @quark on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.

runDispose
void runDispose()

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.

setData
void setData(string key, void* data)

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.

setDataFull
void setDataFull(string key, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed.

setProperty
void setProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a property on an object.

setQdata
void setQdata(GQuark quark, void* data)

This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the @object with g_object_get_qdata() until the @object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using #NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.

setQdataFull
void setQdataFull(GQuark quark, void* data, GDestroyNotify destroy)

This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with @data as argument when the @object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same @quark.

setValist
void setValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets properties on an object.

setv
void setv(string[] names, Value[] values)

Sets @n_properties properties for an @object. Properties to be set will be taken from @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

stealData
void* stealData(string key)

Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

stealQdata
void* stealQdata(GQuark quark)

This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the @data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example: |[<!-- language="C" --> void object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object, const gchar *new_string) { // the quark, naming the object data GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list"); // retrive the old string list GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

thawNotify
void thawNotify()

Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on @object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.

unref
void unref()

Decreases the reference count of @object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

watchClosure
void watchClosure(Closure closure)

This function essentially limits the life time of the @closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the @closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the @closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on @object during invocation of the @closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this @object as closure data.

weakRef
void weakRef(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive).

weakUnref
void weakUnref(GWeakNotify notify, void* data)

Removes a weak reference callback to an object.

clearObject
void clearObject(ObjectG objectPtr)

Clears a reference to a #GObject.
