Fixed

Description The GtkFixed widget is a container which can place child widgets at fixed positions and with fixed sizes, given in pixels. GtkFixed performs no automatic layout management. For most applications, you should not use this container! It keeps you from having to learn about the other GTK+ containers, but it results in broken applications. With GtkFixed, the following things will result in truncated text, overlapping widgets, and other display bugs: Themes, which may change widget sizes. Fonts other than the one you used to write the app will of course change the size of widgets containing text; keep in mind that users may use a larger font because of difficulty reading the default, or they may be using Windows or the framebuffer port of GTK+, where different fonts are available. Translation of text into other languages changes its size. Also, display of non-English text will use a different font in many cases. In addition, the fixed widget can't properly be mirrored in right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. i.e. normally GTK+ will flip the interface to put labels to the right of the thing they label, but it can't do that with GtkFixed. So your application will not be usable in right-to-left languages. Finally, fixed positioning makes it kind of annoying to add/remove GUI elements, since you have to reposition all the other elements. This is a long-term maintenance problem for your application. If you know none of these things are an issue for your application, and prefer the simplicity of GtkFixed, by all means use the widget. But you should be aware of the tradeoffs.

getFixedStruct
GtkFixed* getFixedStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getHasWindow
int getHasWindow()

Warning gtk_fixed_get_has_window has been deprecated since version 2.20 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_widget_get_has_window() instead. Gets whether the GtkFixed has its own GdkWindow. See gtk_fixed_set_has_window().

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

move
void move(Widget widget, int x, int y)

Moves a child of a GtkFixed container to the given position.

put
void put(Widget widget, int x, int y)

Adds a widget to a GtkFixed container at the given position.

setHasWindow
void setHasWindow(int hasWindow)

Warning gtk_fixed_set_has_window has been deprecated since version 2.20 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_widget_set_has_window() instead. Sets whether a GtkFixed widget is created with a separate GdkWindow for widget->window or not. (By default, it will be created with no separate GdkWindow). This function must be called while the GtkFixed is not realized, for instance, immediately after the window is created. This function was added to provide an easy migration path for older applications which may expect GtkFixed to have a separate window.

add
void add(Widget widget)

Adds widget to container. Typically used for simple containers such as GtkWindow, GtkFrame, or GtkButton; for more complicated layout containers such as GtkBox or GtkTable, this function will pick default packing parameters that may not be correct. So consider functions such as gtk_box_pack_start() and gtk_table_attach() as an alternative to gtk_container_add() in those cases. A widget may be added to only one container at a time; you can't place the same widget inside two different containers.

remove
void remove(Widget widget)

Removes widget from container. widget must be inside container. Note that container will own a reference to widget, and that this may be the last reference held; so removing a widget from its container can destroy that widget. If you want to use widget again, you need to add a reference to it while it's not inside a container, using g_object_ref(). If you don't want to use widget again it's usually more efficient to simply destroy it directly using gtk_widget_destroy() since this will remove it from the container and help break any circular reference count cycles.

getResizeMode
GtkResizeMode getResizeMode()

Returns the resize mode for the container. See gtk_container_set_resize_mode().

setResizeMode
void setResizeMode(GtkResizeMode resizeMode)

Sets the resize mode for the container. The resize mode of a container determines whether a resize request will be passed to the container's parent, queued for later execution or executed immediately.

checkResize
void checkResize()
foreac
void foreac(GtkCallback callback, void* callbackData)

Invokes callback on each non-internal child of container. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an "internal" child. Most applications should use gtk_container_foreach(), rather than gtk_container_forall().

foreachFull
void foreachFull(GtkCallback callback, GtkCallbackMarshal marshal, void* callbackData, GDestroyNotify notify)

Warning gtk_container_foreach_full is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_container_foreach() instead.

getChildren
ListG getChildren()

Returns the container's non-internal children. See gtk_container_forall() for details on what constitutes an "internal" child.

setReallocateRedraws
void setReallocateRedraws(int needsRedraws)

Sets the reallocate_redraws flag of the container to the given value. Containers requesting reallocation redraws get automatically redrawn if any of their children changed allocation.

getFocusChild
Widget getFocusChild()

Returns the current focus child widget inside container. This is not the currently focused widget. That can be obtained by calling gtk_window_get_focus(). Since 2.14

setFocusChild
void setFocusChild(Widget child)

Sets, or unsets if child is NULL, the focused child of container. This function emits the GtkContainer::set_focus_child signal of container. Implementations of GtkContainer can override the default behaviour by overriding the class closure of this signal. This is function is mostly meant to be used by widgets. Applications can use gtk_widget_grab_focus() to manualy set the focus to a specific widget.

getFocusVadjustment
Adjustment getFocusVadjustment()

Retrieves the vertical focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment().

setFocusVadjustment
void setFocusVadjustment(Adjustment adjustment)

Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the vertical alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_vadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment() for setting the horizontal adjustment. The adjustments have to be in pixel units and in the same coordinate system as the allocation for immediate children of the container.

getFocusHadjustment
Adjustment getFocusHadjustment()

Retrieves the horizontal focus adjustment for the container. See gtk_container_set_focus_hadjustment().

setFocusHadjustment
void setFocusHadjustment(Adjustment adjustment)

Hooks up an adjustment to focus handling in a container, so when a child of the container is focused, the adjustment is scrolled to show that widget. This function sets the horizontal alignment. See gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment() for a typical way of obtaining the adjustment and gtk_container_set_focus_vadjustment() for setting the vertical adjustment. The adjustments have to be in pixel units and in the same coordinate system as the allocation for immediate children of the container.

resizeChildren
void resizeChildren()
childType
GType childType()

Returns the type of the children supported by the container. Note that this may return G_TYPE_NONE to indicate that no more children can be added, e.g. for a GtkPaned which already has two children.

childGetProperty
void childGetProperty(Widget child, string propertyName, Value value)

Gets the value of a child property for child and container.

childSetProperty
void childSetProperty(Widget child, string propertyName, Value value)

Sets a child property for child and container.

childGetValist
void childGetValist(Widget child, string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Gets the values of one or more child properties for child and container.

childSetValist
void childSetValist(Widget child, string firstPropertyName, void* varArgs)

Sets one or more child properties for child and container.

forall
void forall(GtkCallback callback, void* callbackData)

Invokes callback on each child of container, including children that are considered "internal" (implementation details of the container). "Internal" children generally weren't added by the user of the container, but were added by the container implementation itself. Most applications should use gtk_container_foreach(), rather than gtk_container_forall().

getBorderWidth
uint getBorderWidth()

Retrieves the border width of the container. See gtk_container_set_border_width().

setBorderWidth
void setBorderWidth(uint borderWidth)

Sets the border width of the container. The border width of a container is the amount of space to leave around the outside of the container. The only exception to this is GtkWindow; because toplevel windows can't leave space outside, they leave the space inside. The border is added on all sides of the container. To add space to only one side, one approach is to create a GtkAlignment widget, call gtk_widget_set_size_request() to give it a size, and place it on the side of the container as a spacer.

propagateExpose
void propagateExpose(Widget child, GdkEventExpose* event)

When a container receives an expose event, it must send synthetic expose events to all children that don't have their own GdkWindows. This function provides a convenient way of doing this. A container, when it receives an expose event, calls gtk_container_propagate_expose() once for each child, passing in the event the container received. gtk_container_propagate_expose() takes care of deciding whether an expose event needs to be sent to the child, intersecting the event's area with the child area, and sending the event. In most cases, a container can simply either simply inherit the "expose" implementation from GtkContainer, or, do some drawing and then chain to the ::expose implementation from GtkContainer. Note that the ::expose-event signal has been replaced by a ::draw signal in GTK+ 3, and consequently, gtk_container_propagate_expose() has been replaced by gtk_container_propagate_draw(). The GTK+ 3 migration guide for hints on how to port from ::expose-event to ::draw.

getFocusChain
int getFocusChain(ListG focusableWidgets)

Retrieves the focus chain of the container, if one has been set explicitly. If no focus chain has been explicitly set, GTK+ computes the focus chain based on the positions of the children. In that case, GTK+ stores NULL in focusable_widgets and returns FALSE.

setFocusChain
void setFocusChain(ListG focusableWidgets)

Sets a focus chain, overriding the one computed automatically by GTK+. In principle each widget in the chain should be a descendant of the container, but this is not enforced by this method, since it's allowed to set the focus chain before you pack the widgets, or have a widget in the chain that isn't always packed. The necessary checks are done when the focus chain is actually traversed.

unsetFocusChain
void unsetFocusChain()

Removes a focus chain explicitly set with gtk_container_set_focus_chain().

classFindChildProperty
ParamSpec classFindChildProperty(GObjectClass* cclass, string propertyName)

Finds a child property of a container class by name.

classInstallChildProperty
void classInstallChildProperty(Container cclass, uint propertyId, ParamSpec pspec)

Installs a child property on a container class.

classListChildProperties
ParamSpec[] classListChildProperties(GObjectClass* cclass)

Returns all child properties of a container class.
