Overlay

GtkOverlay is a container which contains a single main child, on top of which it can place “overlay” widgets. The position of each overlay widget is determined by its #GtkWidget:halign and #GtkWidget:valign properties. E.g. a widget with both alignments set to %GTK_ALIGN_START will be placed at the top left corner of the GtkOverlay container, whereas an overlay with halign set to %GTK_ALIGN_CENTER and valign set to %GTK_ALIGN_END will be placed a the bottom edge of the GtkOverlay, horizontally centered. The position can be adjusted by setting the margin properties of the child to non-zero values.

More complicated placement of overlays is possible by connecting to the #GtkOverlay::get-child-position signal.

GtkOverlay as GtkBuildable

The GtkOverlay implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child as an overlay by specifying “overlay” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.

class Overlay : Bin {

protected

GtkOverlay* gtkOverlay;

GtkOverlay* getOverlayStruct();

void* getStruct();

void setStruct(GObject* obj);

this(GtkOverlay* gtkOverlay, bool ownedRef);

static GType getType();

this();

void addOverlay(Widget widget);

bool getOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget);

void reorderOverlay(Widget child, int position);

void setOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget, bool passThrough);

int[string] connectedSignals;

bool delegate(Widget, GdkRectangle*, Overlay)[] onGetChildPositionListeners;

void addOnGetChildPosition(bool delegate(Widget, GdkRectangle*, Overlay) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags);

static int callBackGetChildPosition(GtkOverlay* overlayStruct, GtkWidget* widget, GdkRectangle* allocation, Overlay _overlay);

}

Constructors

this this(GtkOverlay* gtkOverlay, bool ownedRef): Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
this this(): Creates a new #GtkOverlay.

Members

Functions

addOnGetChildPosition void addOnGetChildPosition(bool delegate(Widget, GdkRectangle*, Overlay) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags): The ::get-child-position signal is emitted to determine the position and size of any overlay child widgets. A handler for this signal should fill @allocation with the desired position and size for @widget, relative to the 'main' child of @overlay.
addOverlay void addOverlay(Widget widget): Adds @widget to @overlay.
getOverlayPassThrough bool getOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget): Convenience function to get the value of the #GtkOverlay:pass-through child property for @widget.
getOverlayStruct GtkOverlay* getOverlayStruct(): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
reorderOverlay void reorderOverlay(Widget child, int position): Moves @child to a new @index in the list of @overlay children. The list contains overlays in the order that these were added to @overlay.
setOverlayPassThrough void setOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget, bool passThrough): Convenience function to set the value of the #GtkOverlay:pass-through child property for @widget.
setStruct void setStruct(GObject* obj): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

Static functions

callBackGetChildPosition int callBackGetChildPosition(GtkOverlay* overlayStruct, GtkWidget* widget, GdkRectangle* allocation, Overlay _overlay): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.

Inherited Members

From Bin

gtkBin GtkBin* gtkBin;: the main Gtk struct
getBinStruct GtkBin* getBinStruct(): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
setStruct void setStruct(GObject* obj): Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getType GType getType()
getChild Widget getChild(): Gets the child of the #GtkBin, or %NULL if the bin contains no child widget. The returned widget does not have a reference added, so you do not need to unref it.
