Static functions

beep
void beep()

Emits a short beep on the default display.

errorTrapPop
int errorTrapPop()

Removes an error trap pushed with gdk_error_trap_push(). May block until an error has been definitively received or not received from the X server. gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored() is preferred if you don’t need to know whether an error occurred, because it never has to block. If you don't need the return value of gdk_error_trap_pop(), use gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored().

errorTrapPopIgnored
void errorTrapPopIgnored()

Removes an error trap pushed with gdk_error_trap_push(), but without bothering to wait and see whether an error occurred. If an error arrives later asynchronously that was triggered while the trap was pushed, that error will be ignored.

errorTrapPush
void errorTrapPush()

This function allows X errors to be trapped instead of the normal behavior of exiting the application. It should only be used if it is not possible to avoid the X error in any other way. Errors are ignored on all #GdkDisplay currently known to the #GdkDisplayManager. If you don’t care which error happens and just want to ignore everything, pop with gdk_error_trap_pop_ignored(). If you need the error code, use gdk_error_trap_pop() which may have to block and wait for the error to arrive from the X server.

flush
void flush()

Flushes the output buffers of all display connections and waits until all requests have been processed. This is rarely needed by applications.

getDisplay
string getDisplay()

Gets the name of the display, which usually comes from the DISPLAY environment variable or the --display command line option.

getDisplayArgName
string getDisplayArgName()

Gets the display name specified in the command line arguments passed to gdk_init() or gdk_parse_args(), if any.

getProgramClass
string getProgramClass()

Gets the program class. Unless the program class has explicitly been set with gdk_set_program_class() or with the --class commandline option, the default value is the program name (determined with g_get_prgname()) with the first character converted to uppercase.

init
void init(string[] argv)

Initializes the GDK library and connects to the windowing system. If initialization fails, a warning message is output and the application terminates with a call to exit(1).

initCheck
bool initCheck(string[] argv)

Initializes the GDK library and connects to the windowing system, returning %TRUE on success.

keyboardGrab
GdkGrabStatus keyboardGrab(Window window, bool ownerEvents, uint time)

Grabs the keyboard so that all events are passed to this application until the keyboard is ungrabbed with gdk_keyboard_ungrab(). This overrides any previous keyboard grab by this client.

keyboardUngrab
void keyboardUngrab(uint time)

Ungrabs the keyboard on the default display, if it is grabbed by this application.

notifyStartupComplete
void notifyStartupComplete()

Indicates to the GUI environment that the application has finished loading. If the applications opens windows, this function is normally called after opening the application’s initial set of windows.

notifyStartupCompleteWithId
void notifyStartupCompleteWithId(string startupId)

Indicates to the GUI environment that the application has finished loading, using a given identifier.

parseArgs
void parseArgs(string[] argv)

Parse command line arguments, and store for future use by calls to gdk_display_open().

pointerGrab
GdkGrabStatus pointerGrab(Window window, bool ownerEvents, GdkEventMask eventMask, Window confineTo, Cursor cursor, uint time)

Grabs the pointer (usually a mouse) so that all events are passed to this application until the pointer is ungrabbed with gdk_pointer_ungrab(), or the grab window becomes unviewable. This overrides any previous pointer grab by this client.

pointerIsGrabbed
bool pointerIsGrabbed()

Returns %TRUE if the pointer on the default display is currently grabbed by this application.

pointerUngrab
void pointerUngrab(uint time)

Ungrabs the pointer on the default display, if it is grabbed by this application.

setAllowedBackends
void setAllowedBackends(string backends)

Sets a list of backends that GDK should try to use.

setDoubleClickTime
void setDoubleClickTime(uint msec)

Set the double click time for the default display. See gdk_display_set_double_click_time(). See also gdk_display_set_double_click_distance(). Applications should not set this, it is a global user-configured setting.

setProgramClass
void setProgramClass(string programClass)

Sets the program class. The X11 backend uses the program class to set the class name part of the WM_CLASS property on toplevel windows; see the ICCCM.
