MountOperation

The functions and objects described here make working with GTK+ and GIO more convenient.

GtkMountOperation is needed when mounting volumes: It is an implementation of GMountOperation that can be used with GIO functions for mounting volumes such as g_file_mount_enclosing_volume(), g_file_mount_mountable(), g_volume_mount(), g_mount_unmount_with_operation() and others.

When necessary, GtkMountOperation shows dialogs to ask for passwords, questions or show processes blocking unmount.

gtk_show_uri() is a convenient way to launch applications for URIs.

Another object that is worth mentioning in this context is GdkAppLaunchContext, which provides visual feedback when lauching applications.

class MountOperation : GioMountOperation {

protected

GtkMountOperation* gtkMountOperation;

GtkMountOperation* getGtkMountOperationStruct();

void* getStruct();

this(GtkMountOperation* gtkMountOperation);

void setStruct(GObject* obj);

this(Window parent);

int isShowing();

void setParent(Window parent);

Window getParent();

void setScreen(Screen screen);

Screen getScreen();

static int showUri(Screen screen, string uri, uint timestamp);

}

Constructors

this this(GtkMountOperation* gtkMountOperation): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
this this(Window parent): Creates a new GtkMountOperation Since 2.14

Functions

getGtkMountOperationStruct GtkMountOperation* getGtkMountOperationStruct(): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getParent Window getParent(): Gets the transient parent used by the GtkMountOperation Since 2.14
getScreen Screen getScreen(): Gets the screen on which windows of the GtkMountOperation will be shown. Since 2.14
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
isShowing int isShowing(): Returns whether the GtkMountOperation is currently displaying a window. Since 2.14
setParent void setParent(Window parent): Sets the transient parent for windows shown by the GtkMountOperation. Since 2.14
setScreen void setScreen(Screen screen): Sets the screen to show windows of the GtkMountOperation on. Since 2.14
setStruct void setStruct(GObject* obj): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

Static functions

showUri int showUri(Screen screen, string uri, uint timestamp): This is a convenience function for launching the default application to show the uri. The uri must be of a form understood by GIO (i.e. you need to install gvfs to get support for uri schemes such as http:// or ftp://, as only local files are handled by GIO itself). Typical examples are file:///home/gnome/pict.jpg http://www.gnome.org
mailto:me@gnome.org Ideally the timestamp is taken from the event triggering the gtk_show_uri() call. If timestamp is not known you can take GDK_CURRENT_TIME. This function can be used as a replacement for gnome_vfs_url_show() and gnome_url_show(). Since 2.14
