Grid

GtkGrid is a container which arranges its child widgets in rows and columns. It is a very similar to GtkTable and GtkBox, but it consistently uses GtkWidget's "margin" and "expand" properties instead of custom child properties, and it fully supports height-for-width geometry management.

Children are added using gtk_grid_attach(). They can span multiple rows or columns. It is also possible to add a child next to an existing child, using gtk_grid_attach_next_to(). The behaviour of GtkGrid when several children occupy the same grid cell is undefined.

GtkGrid can be used like a GtkBox by just using gtk_container_add(), which will place children next to each other in the direction determined by the "orientation" property.

Functions

attach
void attach(Widget child, int left, int top, int width, int height)

Adds a widget to the grid. The position of child is determined by left and top. The number of 'cells' that child will occupy is determined by width and height.

attachNextTo
void attachNextTo(Widget child, Widget sibling, GtkPositionType side, int width, int height)

Adds a widget to the grid. The widget is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side. When sibling is NULL, the widget is placed in row (for left or right placement) or column 0 (for top or bottom placement), at the end indicated by side. Attaching widgets labeled [1], [2], [3] with sibling == NULL and side == GTK_POS_LEFT yields a layout of [3][2][1].

getBaselineRow
int getBaselineRow()

Returns which row defines the global baseline of grid.

getChildAt
Widget getChildAt(int left, int top)

Gets the child of grid whose area covers the grid cell whose upper left corner is at left, top.

getColumnHomogeneous
int getColumnHomogeneous()

Returns whether all columns of grid have the same width.

getColumnSpacing
uint getColumnSpacing()

Returns the amount of space between the columns of grid.

getGridStruct
GtkGrid* getGridStruct()
Undocumented in source. Be warned that the author may not have intended to support it.
getRowBaselinePosition
GtkBaselinePosition getRowBaselinePosition(int row)

Returns the baseline position of row as set by gtk_grid_set_row_baseline_position() or the default value GTK_BASELINE_POSITION_CENTER.

getRowHomogeneous
int getRowHomogeneous()

Returns whether all rows of grid have the same height.

getRowSpacing
uint getRowSpacing()

Returns the amount of space between the rows of grid.

getStruct
void* getStruct()

the main Gtk struct as a void*

insertColumn
void insertColumn(int position)

Inserts a column at the specified position. Children which are attached at or to the right of this position are moved one column to the right. Children which span across this position are grown to span the new column.

insertNextTo
void insertNextTo(Widget sibling, GtkPositionType side)

Inserts a row or column at the specified position. The new row or column is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side. If side is GTK_POS_TOP or GTK_POS_BOTTOM, a row is inserted. If side is GTK_POS_LEFT of GTK_POS_RIGHT, a column is inserted.

insertRow
void insertRow(int position)

Inserts a row at the specified position. Children which are attached at or below this position are moved one row down. Children which span across this position are grown to span the new row.

removeColumn
void removeColumn(int position)

Removes a column from the grid. Children that are placed in this column are removed, spanning children that overlap this column have their width reduced by one, and children after the column are moved to the left.

removeRow
void removeRow(int position)

Removes a row from the grid. Children that are placed in this row are removed, spanning children that overlap this row have their height reduced by one, and children below the row are moved up.

setBaselineRow
void setBaselineRow(int row)

Sets which row defines the global baseline for the entire grid. Each row in the grid can have its own local baseline, but only one of those is global, meaning it will be the baseline in the parent of the grid.

setColumnHomogeneous
void setColumnHomogeneous(int homogeneous)

Sets whether all columns of grid will have the same width.

setColumnSpacing
void setColumnSpacing(uint spacing)

Sets the amount of space between columns of grid.

setRowBaselinePosition
void setRowBaselinePosition(int row, GtkBaselinePosition pos)

Sets how the baseline should be positioned on row of the grid, in case that row is assigned more space than is requested.

setRowHomogeneous
void setRowHomogeneous(int homogeneous)

Sets whether all rows of grid will have the same height.

setRowSpacing
void setRowSpacing(uint spacing)

Sets the amount of space between rows of grid.

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 GtkGrid, this function will pick default packing parameters that may not be correct. So consider functions such as gtk_box_pack_start() and gtk_grid_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().

getChildren
ListG getChildren()

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

getPathForChild
WidgetPath getPathForChild(Widget child)

Returns a newly created widget path representing all the widget hierarchy from the toplevel down to and including 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()

Warning gtk_container_resize_children is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 3.10

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.

childNotify
void childNotify(Widget child, string childProperty)

Emits a "child-notify" signal for the child property child_property on widget. This is an analogue of g_object_notify() for child properties. Also see gtk_widget_child_notify().

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(). Virtual: 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.

propagateDraw
void propagateDraw(Widget child, Context cr)

When a container receives a call to the draw function, it must send synthetic "draw" calls to all children that don't have their own GdkWindows. This function provides a convenient way of doing this. A container, when it receives a call to its "draw" function, calls gtk_container_propagate_draw() once for each child, passing in the cr the container received. gtk_container_propagate_draw() takes care of translating the origin of cr, and deciding whether the draw needs to be sent to the child. It is a convenient and optimized way of getting the same effect as calling gtk_widget_draw() on the child directly. In most cases, a container can simply either inherit the "draw" implementation from GtkContainer, or do some drawing and then chain to the ::draw implementation from GtkContainer.

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(GtkContainerClass* 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.

classHandleBorderWidth
void classHandleBorderWidth(GtkContainerClass* klass)

Modifies a subclass of GtkContainerClass to automatically add and remove the border-width setting on GtkContainer. This allows the subclass to ignore the border width in its size request and allocate methods. The intent is for a subclass to invoke this in its class_init function. gtk_container_class_handle_border_width() is necessary because it would break API too badly to make this behavior the default. So subclasses must "opt in" to the parent class handling border_width for them.
