Popover

GtkPopover is a bubble-like context window, primarily meant to provide context-dependent information or options. Popovers are attached to a widget, passed at construction time on gtk_popover_new(), or updated afterwards through gtk_popover_set_relative_to(), by default they will point to the whole widget area, although this behavior can be changed through gtk_popover_set_pointing_to().

The position of a popover relative to the widget it is attached to can also be changed through gtk_popover_set_position().

By default, #GtkPopover performs a GTK+ grab, in order to ensure input events get redirected to it while it is shown, and also so the popover is dismissed in the expected situations (clicks outside the popover, or the Esc key being pressed). If no such modal behavior is desired on a popover, gtk_popover_set_modal() may be called on it to tweak its behavior.

GtkPopover as menu replacement

GtkPopover is often used to replace menus. To facilitate this, it supports being populated from a #GMenuModel, using gtk_popover_new_from_model(). In addition to all the regular menu model features, this function supports rendering sections in the model in a more compact form, as a row of icon buttons instead of menu items.

To use this rendering, set the ”display-hint” attribute of the section to ”horizontal-buttons” and set the icons of your items with the ”verb-icon” attribute.

|[ <section> <attribute name="display-hint">horizontal-buttons</attribute> <item> <attribute name="label">Cut</attribute> <attribute name="action">app.cut</attribute> <attribute name="verb-icon">edit-cut-symbolic</attribute> </item> <item> <attribute name="label">Copy</attribute> <attribute name="action">app.copy</attribute> <attribute name="verb-icon">edit-copy-symbolic</attribute> </item> <item> <attribute name="label">Paste</attribute> <attribute name="action">app.paste</attribute> <attribute name="verb-icon">edit-paste-symbolic</attribute> </item> </section> ]|

CSS nodes

GtkPopover has a single css node called popover. It always gets the .background style class and it gets the .menu style class if it is menu-like (e.g. #GtkPopoverMenu or created using gtk_popover_new_from_model().

Particular uses of GtkPopover, such as touch selection popups or magnifiers in #GtkEntry or #GtkTextView get style classes like .touch-selection or .magnifier to differentiate from plain popovers.

Constructors

this this(GtkPopover* gtkPopover, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(Widget relativeTo): Creates a new popover to point to @relative_to
this this(Widget relativeTo, MenuModel model): Creates a #GtkPopover and populates it according to @model. The popover is pointed to the @relative_to widget.

Functions

addOnClosed gulong addOnClosed(void delegate(Popover) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags): This signal is emitted when the popover is dismissed either through API or user interaction.
bindModel void bindModel(MenuModel model, string actionNamespace): Establishes a binding between a #GtkPopover and a #GMenuModel.
getConstrainTo GtkPopoverConstraint getConstrainTo(): Returns the constraint for placing this popover. See gtk_popover_set_constrain_to().
getDefaultWidget Widget getDefaultWidget(): Gets the widget that should be set as the default while the popover is shown.
getModal bool getModal(): Returns whether the popover is modal, see gtk_popover_set_modal to see the implications of this.
getPointingTo bool getPointingTo(GdkRectangle rect): If a rectangle to point to has been set, this function will return %TRUE and fill in @rect with such rectangle, otherwise it will return %FALSE and fill in @rect with the attached widget coordinates.
getPopoverStruct GtkPopover* getPopoverStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getPosition GtkPositionType getPosition(): Returns the preferred position of @popover.
getRelativeTo Widget getRelativeTo(): Returns the widget @popover is currently attached to
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getTransitionsEnabled bool getTransitionsEnabled(): Returns whether show/hide transitions are enabled on this popover.
popdown void popdown(): Pops @popover down.This is different than a gtk_widget_hide() call in that it shows the popover with a transition. If you want to hide the popover without a transition, use gtk_widget_hide().
popup void popup(): Pops @popover up. This is different than a gtk_widget_show() call in that it shows the popover with a transition. If you want to show the popover without a transition, use gtk_widget_show().
setConstrainTo void setConstrainTo(GtkPopoverConstraint constraint): Sets a constraint for positioning this popover.
setDefaultWidget void setDefaultWidget(Widget widget): Sets the widget that should be set as default widget while the popover is shown (see gtk_window_set_default()). #GtkPopover remembers the previous default widget and reestablishes it when the popover is dismissed.
setModal void setModal(bool modal): Sets whether @popover is modal, a modal popover will grab all input within the toplevel and grab the keyboard focus on it when being displayed. Clicking outside the popover area or pressing Esc will dismiss the popover and ungrab input.
setPointingTo void setPointingTo(GdkRectangle* rect): Sets the rectangle that @popover will point to, in the coordinate space of the widget @popover is attached to, see gtk_popover_set_relative_to().
setPosition void setPosition(GtkPositionType position): Sets the preferred position for @popover to appear. If the @popover is currently visible, it will be immediately updated.
setRelativeTo void setRelativeTo(Widget relativeTo): Sets a new widget to be attached to @popover. If @popover is visible, the position will be updated.
setTransitionsEnabled void setTransitionsEnabled(bool transitionsEnabled): Sets whether show/hide transitions are enabled on this popover
