AccelGroup

Description A GtkAccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached to a toplevel GtkWindow (with gtk_window_add_accel_group()). Usually you won't need to create a GtkAccelGroup directly; instead, when using GtkItemFactory, GTK+ automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the item factory's GtkAccelGroup. Note that accelerators are different from mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu item they're a shortcut for. For example "Ctrl+Q" might appear alongside the "Quit" menu item. Mnemonics are shortcuts for GUI elements such as text entries or buttons; they appear as underlined characters. See gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic(). Menu items can have both accelerators and mnemonics, of course.

Functions

activate
int activate(GQuark accelQuark, ObjectG acceleratable, uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods)

Finds the first accelerator in accel_group that matches accel_key and accel_mods, and activates it.

addOnAccelActivate
void addOnAccelActivate(bool delegate(ObjectG, guint, GdkModifierType, AccelGroup) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The accel-activate signal is an implementation detail of GtkAccelGroup and not meant to be used by applications. TRUE if the accelerator was activated

addOnAccelChanged
void addOnAccelChanged(void delegate(guint, GdkModifierType, Closure, AccelGroup) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags)

The accel-changed signal is emitted when a GtkAccelGroupEntry is added to or removed from the accel group. Widgets like GtkAccelLabel which display an associated accelerator should connect to this signal, and rebuild their visual representation if the accel_closure is theirs. See Also gtk_window_add_accel_group(), gtk_accel_map_change_entry(), gtk_item_factory_new(), gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()

connect
void connect(uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods, GtkAccelFlags accelFlags, Closure closure)

Installs an accelerator in this group. When accel_group is being activated in response to a call to gtk_accel_groups_activate(), closure will be invoked if the accel_key and accel_mods from gtk_accel_groups_activate() match those of this connection. The signature used for the closure is that of GtkAccelGroupActivate. Note that, due to implementation details, a single closure can only be connected to one accelerator group.

connectByPath
void connectByPath(string accelPath, Closure closure)

Installs an accelerator in this group, using an accelerator path to look up the appropriate key and modifiers (see gtk_accel_map_add_entry()). When accel_group is being activated in response to a call to gtk_accel_groups_activate(), closure will be invoked if the accel_key and accel_mods from gtk_accel_groups_activate() match the key and modifiers for the path. The signature used for the closure is that of GtkAccelGroupActivate. Note that accel_path string will be stored in a GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with g_intern_static_string().

disconnect
int disconnect(Closure closure)

Removes an accelerator previously installed through gtk_accel_group_connect(). Since 2.20 closure can be NULL.

disconnectKey
int disconnectKey(uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods)

Removes an accelerator previously installed through gtk_accel_group_connect().

find
GtkAccelKey* find(GtkAccelGroupFindFunc findFunc, void* data)

Finds the first entry in an accelerator group for which find_func returns TRUE and returns its GtkAccelKey.

getAccelGroupStruct
GtkAccelGroup* getAccelGroupStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getIsLocked
int getIsLocked()

Locks are added and removed using gtk_accel_group_lock() and gtk_accel_group_unlock(). Since 2.14

getModifierMask
GdkModifierType getModifierMask()

Gets a GdkModifierType representing the mask for this accel_group. For example, GDK_CONTROL_MASK, GDK_SHIFT_MASK, etc. Since 2.14

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

lock
void lock()

Locks the given accelerator group. Locking an acelerator group prevents the accelerators contained within it to be changed during runtime. Refer to gtk_accel_map_change_entry() about runtime accelerator changes. If called more than once, accel_group remains locked until gtk_accel_group_unlock() has been called an equivalent number of times.

query
GtkAccelGroupEntry[] query(uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods)

Queries an accelerator group for all entries matching accel_key and accel_mods.

setStruct
void setStruct(GObject* obj)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
unlock
void unlock()

Undoes the last call to gtk_accel_group_lock() on this accel_group.

Static functions

accelGroupsActivate
int accelGroupsActivate(ObjectG object, uint accelKey, GdkModifierType accelMods)

Finds the first accelerator in any GtkAccelGroup attached to object that matches accel_key and accel_mods, and activates that accelerator.

accelGroupsFromObject
ListSG accelGroupsFromObject(ObjectG object)

Gets a list of all accel groups which are attached to object.

acceleratorGetDefaultModMask
uint acceleratorGetDefaultModMask()

Gets the value set by gtk_accelerator_set_default_mod_mask().

acceleratorGetLabel
string acceleratorGetLabel(uint acceleratorKey, GdkModifierType acceleratorMods)

Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask into a string which can be used to represent the accelerator to the user. Since 2.6

acceleratorName
string acceleratorName(uint acceleratorKey, GdkModifierType acceleratorMods)

Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask into a string parseable by gtk_accelerator_parse(). For example, if you pass in GDK_q and GDK_CONTROL_MASK, this function returns "<Control>q". If you need to display accelerators in the user interface, see gtk_accelerator_get_label().

acceleratorParse
void acceleratorParse(string accelerator, uint acceleratorKey, GdkModifierType acceleratorMods)

Parses a string representing an accelerator. The format looks like "<Control>a" or "<Shift><Alt>F1" or "<Release>z" (the last one is for key release). The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as "<Ctl>" and "<Ctrl>". Key names are parsed using gdk_keyval_from_name(). For character keys the name is not the symbol, but the lowercase name, e.g. one would use "<Ctrl>minus" instead of "<Ctrl>-". If the parse fails, accelerator_key and accelerator_mods will be set to 0 (zero).

acceleratorSetDefaultModMask
void acceleratorSetDefaultModMask(GdkModifierType defaultModMask)

Sets the modifiers that will be considered significant for keyboard accelerators. The default mod mask is GDK_CONTROL_MASK | GDK_SHIFT_MASK | GDK_MOD1_MASK | GDK_SUPER_MASK | GDK_HYPER_MASK | GDK_META_MASK, that is, Control, Shift, Alt, Super, Hyper and Meta. Other modifiers will by default be ignored by GtkAccelGroup. You must include at least the three modifiers Control, Shift and Alt in any value you pass to this function. The default mod mask should be changed on application startup, before using any accelerator groups.

acceleratorValid
int acceleratorValid(uint keyval, GdkModifierType modifiers)

Determines whether a given keyval and modifier mask constitute a valid keyboard accelerator. For example, the GDK_a keyval plus GDK_CONTROL_MASK is valid - this is a "Ctrl+a" accelerator. But, you can't, for instance, use the GDK_Control_L keyval as an accelerator.

Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
callBackAccelChanged
void callBackAccelChanged(GtkAccelGroup* accelGroupStruct, guint keyval, GdkModifierType modifier, GClosure* accelClosure, AccelGroup _accelGroup)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

addOnNotify
void addOnNotify(void delegate(ParamSpec, ObjectG) dlg, 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. This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal. See Also GParamSpecObject, g_param_spec_object()

callBackNotify
void callBackNotify(GObject* gobjectStruct, GParamSpec* pspec, ObjectG _objectG)
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
classInstallProperty
void classInstallProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, uint propertyId, ParamSpec pspec)

Installs a new property. This is usually done in the class initializer. Note that it is possible to redefine a property in a derived class, by installing a property with the same name. This can be useful at times, e.g. to change the range of allowed values or the default value.

classInstallProperties
void classInstallProperties(GObjectClass* oclass, ParamSpec[] pspecs)

Installs new properties from an array of GParamSpecs. This is usually done in the class initializer. The property id of each property is the index of each GParamSpec in the pspecs array. The property id of 0 is treated specially by GObject and it should not be used to store a GParamSpec. This function should be used if you plan to use a static array of GParamSpecs and g_object_notify_by_pspec(). For instance, this Since 2.26

classFindProperty
ParamSpec classFindProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, string propertyName)

Looks up the GParamSpec for a property of a class.

classListProperties
ParamSpec[] classListProperties(GObjectClass* oclass)

Get an array of GParamSpec* for all properties of a class.

classOverrideProperty
void classOverrideProperty(GObjectClass* oclass, uint propertyId, string name)

Registers property_id as referring to a property with the name name in a parent class or in an interface implemented by oclass. This allows this class to override a property implementation in a parent class or to provide the implementation of a property from an interface. Note Internally, overriding is implemented by creating a property of type GParamSpecOverride; generally operations that query the properties of the object class, such as g_object_class_find_property() or g_object_class_list_properties() will return the overridden property. However, in one case, the construct_properties argument of the constructor virtual function, the GParamSpecOverride is passed instead, so that the param_id field of the GParamSpec will be correct. For virtually all uses, this makes no difference. If you need to get the overridden property, you can call g_param_spec_get_redirect_target(). Since 2.4

interfaceInstallProperty
void interfaceInstallProperty(void* iface, 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. This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface. Since 2.4

interfaceFindProperty
ParamSpec interfaceFindProperty(void* iface, 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(). Since 2.4

interfaceListProperties
ParamSpec[] interfaceListProperties(void* iface)

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(). Since 2.4

doref
void* doref(void* object)

Increases the reference count of object.

unref
void unref(void* object)

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

refSink
void* refSink(void* object)

Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating reference, if object has a floating reference. In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one. Since 2.10

clearObject
void clearObject(ObjectG objectPtr)

Clears a reference to a GObject. object_ptr must not be NULL. If the reference is NULL then this function does nothing. Otherwise, the reference count of the object is decreased and the pointer is set to NULL. This function is threadsafe and modifies the pointer atomically, using memory barriers where needed. A macro is also included that allows this function to be used without pointer casts. Since 2.28

isFloating
int isFloating(void* object)

Checks whether object has a floating reference. Since 2.10

forceFloating
void forceFloating()

This function is intended for GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating object reference. Doing this is seldomly required: all GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink(). Since 2.10

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.

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.

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().

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. This functionality is intended for binding object to a proxy object managed by another memory manager. This is done with two paired references: the strong reference added by g_object_add_toggle_ref() and a reverse reference to the proxy object which is either a strong reference or weak reference. The setup is that when there are no other references to object, only a weak reference is held in the reverse direction from object to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to object, a strong reference is held. The notify callback is called when the reference from object to the proxy object should be toggled from strong to weak (is_last_ref true) or weak to strong (is_last_ref false). Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before calling g_object_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse link is always strong. Multiple toggle references may be added to the same gobject, however if there are multiple toggle references to an object, none of them will ever be notified until all but one are removed. For this reason, you should only ever use a toggle reference if there is important state in the proxy object. Since 2.8

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. Since 2.8

notify
void notify(string propertyName)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object. When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

notifyByPspec
void notifyByPspec(ParamSpec pspec)

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object. This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify(). One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with Since 2.26

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. This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

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, all queued "notify" signals are emitted. It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

getData
void* getData(string key)

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

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. If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

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. Note that the destroy callback is not called if data is NULL.

stealData
void* stealData(string key)

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

getQdata
void* getQdata(GQuark quark)

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

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.

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

setProperty
void setProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a property on an object.

getProperty
void getProperty(string propertyName, Value value)

Gets a property of an object. value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init(). In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset(). Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

setValist
void setValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets properties on an object.

getValist
void getValist(string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets properties of an object. In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory in the appropriate manner for the type, for instance by calling g_free() or g_object_unref(). See g_object_get().

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.

runDispose
void runDispose()

Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles. This functions should only be called from object system implementations.
