Detailed Description

Abstract Widget (Base class for all widgets).

As the base class of all widgets this contains all of the properties and methods common to all widgets. It is an abstract class that can not be instantiated.

Important part of widgets are the *_event signals and virtual methods that every widget have. Those are events coming directly from gdk and thus also from XLib. By overriding those virtual methods you can trap everything a widget can ever do. In order to capture events from a widget, the event mask must first be set with ().

Only widgets with a Gdk::Window on the server side are allowed to capture events. Widgets in the Gtk::Misc group for example lack a Gdk::Window.

Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::Widget::activate (  ) 

For widgets that can be "activated" (buttons, menu items, etc.

) this function activates them. Activation is what happens when you press Enter on a widget during key navigation. If widget isn't activatable, the function returns false.

Returns:
true if the widget was activatable.

Reimplemented in Gtk::MenuItem.

void Gtk::Widget::add_accelerator ( const Glib::ustring accel_signal,
const Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup>&  accel_group,
guint  accel_key,
Gdk::ModifierType  accel_mods,
AccelFlags  accel_flags 
)

Installs an accelerator for this widget in accel_group that causes accel_signal to be emitted if the accelerator is activated.

The accel_group needs to be added to the widget's toplevel via Gtk::Window::add_accel_group(), and the signal must be of type G::RUN_ACTION. Accelerators added through this function are not user changeable during runtime. If you want to support accelerators that can be changed by the user, use gtk_accel_map_add_entry() and set_accel_path() or Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_path() instead.

Parameters:
accel_signal Widget signal to emit on accelerator activation.
accel_group Accel group for this widget, added to its toplevel.
accel_key GDK keyval of the accelerator.
accel_mods Modifier key combination of the accelerator.
accel_flags Flag accelerators, e.g. Gtk::ACCEL_VISIBLE.

void Gtk::Widget::add_events ( Gdk::EventMask  events  ) 

Adds the events in the bitfield events to the event mask for widget .

See set_events() for details.

Parameters:
events An event mask, see Gdk::EventMask.

void Gtk::Widget::add_mnemonic_label ( Widget label  ) 

Adds a widget to the list of mnemonic labels for this widget.

(See list_mnemonic_labels()). Note the list of mnemonic labels for the widget is cleared when the widget is destroyed, so the caller must make sure to update its internal state at this point as well.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
label A Gtk::Widget that acts as a mnemonic label for widget .

void Gtk::Widget::add_modal_grab (  ) 

Block events to everything else than this widget and its children.

This way you can get modal behaviour (usually not recommended). One practical example could be when implementing a key-binding widget that needs exclusive access to the key combination that the user presses next.

Calls to add_modal_grab should be paired with calls to remove_modal_grab.

bool Gtk::Widget::app_paintable (  )  const

bool Gtk::Widget::can_default (  )  const

bool Gtk::Widget::can_focus (  )  const

bool Gtk::Widget::child_focus ( DirectionType  direction  ) 

This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're writing an app, you'd use grab_focus() to move the focus to a particular widget, and Gtk::Container::set_focus_chain() to change the focus tab order.

So you may want to investigate those functions instead.

child_focus() is called by containers as the user moves around the window using keyboard shortcuts. direction indicates what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab forward, tab backward). child_focus() invokes the "focus" signal on Gtk::Widget; widgets override the default handler for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.

The "focus" default handler for a widget should return true if moving in direction left the focus on a focusable location inside that widget, and false if moving in direction moved the focus outside the widget. If returning true, widgets normally call grab_focus() to place the focus accordingly; if returning false, they don't modify the current focus location.

This function replaces gtk_container_focus() from GTK+ 1.2. It was necessary to check that the child was visible, sensitive, and focusable before calling gtk_container_focus(). child_focus() returns false if the widget is not currently in a focusable state, so there's no need for those checks.

Parameters:
direction Direction of focus movement.
Returns:
true if focus ended up inside widget .

void Gtk::Widget::child_notify ( const Glib::ustring child_property  ) 

Emits a "child-notify" signal for the child property child_property on widget .

This is the analogue of Glib::object_notify() for child properties.

Parameters:
child_property The name of a child property installed on the class of widget <!-- -->'s parent.

void Gtk::Widget::class_path ( Glib::ustring path,
Glib::ustring path_reversed 
)

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Context> Gtk::Widget::create_pango_context (  ) 

Creates a new Pango::Context with the appropriate colormap, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

See also get_pango_context().

Returns:
The new Pango::Context.

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Layout> Gtk::Widget::create_pango_layout ( const Glib::ustring text  ) 

Creates a new Pango::Layout with the appropriate colormap, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

If you keep a Pango::Layout created in this way around, in order notify the layout of changes to the base direction or font of this widget, you must call pango_layout_context_changed() in response to the style-set and direction-changed signals for the widget.

Parameters:
text Text to set on the layout (can be 0).
Returns:
The new Pango::Layout.

virtual void Gtk::Widget::dispatch_child_properties_changed_vfunc ( guint  p1,

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext> Gtk::Widget::drag_begin ( const Glib::RefPtr<TargetList>&  targets,
Gdk::DragAction  actions,
int  button,
GdkEvent *  event 
)

Initiates a drag on the source side.

The function only needs to be used when the application is starting drags itself, and is not needed when gtk_drag_source_set() is used.

Parameters:
targets The targets (data formats) in which the source can provide the data.
actions A bitmask of the allowed drag actions for this drag.
button The button the user clicked to start the drag.
event The event that triggered the start of the drag.
Returns:
The context for this drag.

bool Gtk::Widget::drag_check_threshold ( int  start_x,
int  start_y,
int  current_x,
int  current_y 
)

Checks to see if a mouse drag starting at ( start_x , start_y ) and ending at ( current_x , current_y ) has passed the GTK+ drag threshold, and thus should trigger the beginning of a drag-and-drop operation.

Parameters:
start_x X coordinate of start of drag.
start_y Y coordinate of start of drag.
current_x Current X coordinate.
current_y Current Y coordinate.
Returns:
true if the drag threshold has been passed.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_image_targets (  ) 

Add the image targets supported by Gtk::Selection to the target list of the drag destination.

The targets are added with info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_image_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_text_targets (  ) 

Add the text targets supported by Gtk::Selection to the target list of the drag destination.

The targets are added with info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_text_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

void Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_add_uri_targets (  ) 

Add the URI targets supported by Gtk::Selection to the target list of the drag destination.

The targets are added with info = 0. If you need another value, use gtk_target_list_add_uri_targets() and gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list().

Since gtkmm 2.6:
Parameters:
widget A Gtk::Widget that's a drag destination.

Glib::ustring Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_find_target ( const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&  context  )  const

Glib::ustring Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_find_target ( const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&  context,
const Glib::RefPtr<TargetList>&  target_list 
) const

Looks for a match between context ->targets and the dest_target_list , returning the first matching target, otherwise returning Gdk::NONE.

dest_target_list should usually be the return value from gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list(), but some widgets may have different valid targets for different parts of the widget; in that case, they will have to implement a drag_motion handler that passes the correct target list to this function.

Parameters:
context Drag context.
target_list List of droppable targets.
Returns:
First target that the source offers and the dest can accept, or Gdk::NONE.

Glib::RefPtr<const TargetList> Gtk::Widget::drag_dest_get_target_list (  )  const

Returns the list of targets this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.

const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixmap>&  pixmap,
const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Bitmap>&  mask 
)

Sets the icon that will be used for drags from a particular widget from a pixmap/mask.

GTK+ retains references for the arguments, and will release them when they are no longer needed. Use gtk_drag_source_set_icon_pixbuf() instead.

Parameters:
colormap The colormap of the icon.

void Gtk::Widget::ensure_style (  ) 

Ensures that widget has a style ( widget ->style).

Not a very useful function; most of the time, if you want the style, the widget is realized, and realized widgets are guaranteed to have a style already.

bool Gtk::Widget::event ( GdkEvent *  event  ) 

Rarely-used function.

This function is used to emit the event signals on a widget (those signals should never be emitted without using this function to do so). If you want to synthesize an event though, don't use this function; instead, use gtk_main_do_event() so the event will behave as if it were in the event queue. Don't synthesize expose events; instead, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() to invalidate a region of the window.

Parameters:
event A Gdk::Event.
Returns:
Return from the event signal emission (true if the event was handled).

void Gtk::Widget::freeze_child_notify (  ) 

Stops emission of "child-notify" signals on widget .

The signals are queued until thaw_child_notify() is called on widget .

This is the analogue of Glib::object_freeze_notify() for child properties.

Glib::RefPtr<Atk::Object> Gtk::Widget::get_accessible (  ) 

Returns the accessible object that describes the widget to an assistive technology.

If no accessibility library is loaded (i.e. no ATK implementation library is loaded via <envar>GTK_MODULES</envar> or via another application library, such as libgnome), then this Atk::Object instance may be a no-op. Likewise, if no class-specific Atk::Object implementation is available for the widget instance in question, it will inherit an Atk::Object implementation from the first ancestor class for which such an implementation is defined.

The documentation of the ATK library contains more information about accessible objects and their uses.

Returns:
The Atk::Object associated with widget .

const Widget* Gtk::Widget::get_ancestor ( GType  widget_type  )  const

Gets the first ancestor of widget with type widget_type .

For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first Gtk::Box that's an ancestor of widget . No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel Gtk::Window in the docs for get_toplevel().

Note that unlike is_ancestor(), get_ancestor() considers widget to be an ancestor of itself.

Parameters:
widget_type Ancestor type.
Returns:
The ancestor widget, or 0 if not found.

Widget* Gtk::Widget::get_ancestor ( GType  widget_type  ) 

Gets the first ancestor of widget with type widget_type .

For example, gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX) gets the first Gtk::Box that's an ancestor of widget . No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel Gtk::Window in the docs for get_toplevel().

Note that unlike is_ancestor(), get_ancestor() considers widget to be an ancestor of itself.

Parameters:
widget_type Ancestor type.
Returns:
The ancestor widget, or 0 if not found.

void Gtk::Widget::get_child_requisition ( Requisition requisition  )  const [protected]

This function is only for use in widget implementations.

Obtains widget ->requisition, unless someone has forced a particular geometry on the widget (e.g. with set_usize()), in which case it returns that geometry instead of the widget's requisition.

This function differs from size_request() in that it retrieves the last size request value from widget ->requisition, while size_request() actually calls the "size_request" method on widget to compute the size request and fill in widget ->requisition, and only then returns widget ->requisition.

Because this function does not call the "size_request" method, it can only be used when you know that widget ->requisition is up-to-date, that is, size_request() has been called since the last time a resize was queued. In general, only container implementations have this information; applications should use size_request().

Parameters:
requisition A Gtk::Requisition to be filled in.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_child_visible (  )  const

Gets the value set with set_child_visible().

If you feel a need to use this function, your code probably needs reorganization.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

Returns:
true if the widget is mapped with the parent.

Glib::RefPtr<const Clipboard> Gtk::Widget::get_clipboard ( const Glib::ustring selection  )  const

Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with widget .

widget must have a Gdk::Display associated with it, so must be attached to a toplevel window.

Parameters:
selection A Gdk::Atom which identifies the clipboard to use. Gdk::SELECTION_CLIPBOARD gives the default clipboard. Another common value is Gdk::SELECTION_PRIMARY, which gives the primary X selection.
Returns:
The appropriate clipboard object. If no clipboard already exists, a new one will be created. Once a clipboard object has been created, it is persistent for all time.
Since gtkmm 2.2:

Glib::RefPtr<Clipboard> Gtk::Widget::get_clipboard ( const Glib::ustring selection  )

Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Display> Gtk::Widget::get_display (  )  const

Get the Gdk::Display for the toplevel window associated with this widget.

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a Gtk::Window at the top.

In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

Returns:
The Gdk::Display for the toplevel for this widget.
Since gtkmm 2.2:

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Display> Gtk::Widget::get_display (  ) 

Get the Gdk::Display for the toplevel window associated with this widget.

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a Gtk::Window at the top.

In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

Returns:
The Gdk::Display for the toplevel for this widget.
Since gtkmm 2.2:

Gdk::EventMask Gtk::Widget::get_events (  )  const

Returns the event mask for the widget (a bitfield containing flags from the Gdk::EventMask enumeration).

These are the events that the widget will receive.

Glib::RefPtr<const RcStyle> Gtk::Widget::get_modifier_style (  )  const

Returns the current modifier style for the widget.

(As set by modify_style().) If no style has previously set, a new Gtk::RcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call modify_style(), passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

Caution: passing the style back to modify_style() will normally end up destroying it, because modify_style() copies the passed-in style and sets the copy as the new modifier style, thus dropping any reference to the old modifier style. Add a reference to the modifier style if you want to keep it alive.

Returns:
The modifier style for the widget. This rc style is owned by the widget. If you want to keep a pointer to value this around, you must add a refcount using Gtk::RcStyle::ref().

Glib::RefPtr<RcStyle> Gtk::Widget::get_modifier_style (  ) 

Returns the current modifier style for the widget.

(As set by modify_style().) If no style has previously set, a new Gtk::RcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call modify_style(), passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

Caution: passing the style back to modify_style() will normally end up destroying it, because modify_style() copies the passed-in style and sets the copy as the new modifier style, thus dropping any reference to the old modifier style. Add a reference to the modifier style if you want to keep it alive.

Returns:
The modifier style for the widget. This rc style is owned by the widget. If you want to keep a pointer to value this around, you must add a refcount using Gtk::RcStyle::ref().

Glib::ustring Gtk::Widget::get_name (  )  const

Retrieves the name of a widget.

See set_name() for the significance of widget names.

bool Gtk::Widget::get_no_show_all (  )  const

Returns the current value of the "no_show_all" property, which determines whether calls to show_all() and hide_all() will affect this widget.

Returns:
The current value of the "no_show_all" property.
Since gtkmm 2.4:

Glib::RefPtr<Pango::Context> Gtk::Widget::get_pango_context (  ) 

Gets a Pango::Context with the appropriate colormap, font description and base direction for this widget.

Unlike the context returned by create_pango_context(), this context is owned by the widget (it can be used until the screen for the widget changes or the widget is removed from its toplevel), and will be updated to match any changes to the widget's attributes.

If you create and keep a Pango::Layout using this context, you must deal with changes to the context by calling pango_layout_context_changed() on the layout in response to the style-set and direction-changed signals for the widget.

Returns:
The Pango::Context for the widget.

Gets widget 's parent window.

Returns:
The parent window of widget .

void Gtk::Widget::get_pointer ( int &  x,
int &  y 
) const

Obtains the location of the mouse pointer in widget coordinates.

Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as widget ->window coordinates for widgets that are not Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets, and are relative to widget ->allocation.x, widget ->allocation.y for widgets that are Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets.

Parameters:
x Return location for the X coordinate, or 0.
y Return location for the Y coordinate, or 0.

Requisition Gtk::Widget::get_requisition (  )  const

Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Window> Gtk::Widget::get_root_window (  )  const

This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget heirarchy with Gtk::Window at the top.

The root window is useful for such purposes as creating a popup Gdk::Window associated with the window. In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

Returns:
The Gdk::Window root window for the toplevel for this widget.
Since gtkmm 2.2:

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> Gtk::Widget::get_root_window (  )

The relevant Gtk::Settings object.

Reimplemented in Gtk::PrintUnixDialog.

void Gtk::Widget::get_size_request ( int &  width,
int &  height 
) const

Gets the size request that was explicitly set for the widget using set_size_request().

A value of -1 stored in width or height indicates that that dimension has not been set explicitly and the natural requisition of the widget will be used intead. See set_size_request(). To get the size a widget will actually use, call size_request() instead of this function.

Parameters:
width Return location for width, or 0.
height Return location for height, or 0.

Gtk::StateType Gtk::Widget::get_state (  )  const

Glib::RefPtr<const Style> Gtk::Widget::get_style (  )  const

const Container* Gtk::Widget::get_toplevel (  )  const

This function returns the topmost widget in the container hierarchy widget is a part of.

If widget has no parent widgets, it will be returned as the topmost widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Note the difference in behavior vs. get_ancestor(); gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW) would return 0 if widget wasn't inside a toplevel window, and if the window was inside a Gtk::Window-derived widget which was in turn inside the toplevel Gtk::Window. While the second case may seem unlikely, it actually happens when a Gtk::Plug is embedded inside a Gtk::Socket within the same application.

To reliably find the toplevel Gtk::Window, use get_toplevel() and check if the T::OPLEVEL flags is set on the result.

 GtkWidget* toplevel = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (widget);
 if (GTK_WIDGET_TOPLEVEL (toplevel))
 {
 [ Perform action on toplevel. ]
 }
Returns:
The topmost ancestor of widget , or widget itself if there's no ancestor.

void Gtk::Widget::grab_default (  ) 

Causes widget to become the default widget.

widget must have the Gtk::CAN_DEFAULT flag set; typically you have to set this flag yourself by calling GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS ( widget , GTK_CAN_DEFAULT). The default widget is activated when the user presses Enter in a window. Default widgets must be activatable, that is, activate() should affect them.

void Gtk::Widget::grab_focus (  ) 

Causes widget to have the keyboard focus for the Gtk::Window it's inside.

widget must be a focusable widget, such as a Gtk::Entry; something like Gtk::Frame won't work. (More precisely, it must have the Gtk::CAN_FOCUS flag set.)

bool Gtk::Widget::is_composited (  )  const

bool Gtk::Widget::is_drawable (  )  const

bool Gtk::Widget::is_focus (  )  const

Determines if the widget is the focus widget within its toplevel.

(This does not mean that the HAS_FOCUS flag is necessarily set; HAS_FOCUS will only be set if the toplevel widget additionally has the global input focus.)

Returns:
true if the widget is the focus widget.

bool Gtk::Widget::is_mapped (  )  const

Glib::ListHandle<const Widget*> Gtk::Widget::list_mnemonic_labels (  )  const

Returns a newly allocated list of the widgets, normally labels, for which this widget is a the target of a mnemonic (see for example, Gtk::Label::set_mnemonic_widget()).

The widgets in the list are not individually referenced. If you want to iterate through the list and perform actions involving callbacks that might destroy the widgets, you must call g_list_foreach (result, (GFunc)g_object_ref, 0) first, and then unref all the widgets afterwards.

Returns:
The list of mnemonic labels; free this list with Glib::list_free() when you are done with it.
Since gtkmm 2.4:

Glib::ListHandle<Widget*> Gtk::Widget::list_mnemonic_labels (  ) 

Returns a newly allocated list of the widgets, normally labels, for which this widget is a the target of a mnemonic (see for example, Gtk::Label::set_mnemonic_widget()).

The widgets in the list are not individually referenced. If you want to iterate through the list and perform actions involving callbacks that might destroy the widgets, you must call g_list_foreach (result, (GFunc)g_object_ref, 0) first, and then unref all the widgets afterwards.

bool Gtk::Widget::mnemonic_activate ( bool  group_cycling  ) 

void Gtk::Widget::modify_base ( StateType  state,
const Gdk::Color color 
)

Sets the base color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. The base color is the background color used along with the text color (see modify_text()) for widgets such as Gtk::Entry and Gtk::TextView. See also modify_style().

Parameters:
state The state for which to set the base color.
color The color to assign (does not need to be allocated).

void Gtk::Widget::modify_bg ( StateType  state,
const Gdk::Color color 
)

Sets the background color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. See also modify_style().

Parameters:
state The state for which to set the background color.
color The color to assign (does not need to be allocated).

void Gtk::Widget::modify_bg_pixmap ( StateType  state,
const Glib::ustring pixmap_name 
)

void Gtk::Widget::modify_fg ( StateType  state,
const Gdk::Color color 
)

Sets the foreground color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. See also modify_style().

Parameters:
state The state for which to set the foreground color.
color The color to assign (does not need to be allocated).

void Gtk::Widget::modify_font ( const Pango::FontDescription font_desc  ) 

Sets the font to use for a widget.

All other style values are left untouched. See also modify_style().

Parameters:
font_desc The font description to use.

void Gtk::Widget::modify_style ( const Glib::RefPtr<RcStyle>&  style  ) 

Modifies style values on the widget.

Modifications made using this technique take precedence over style values set via an RC file, however, they will be overriden if a style is explicitely set on the widget using set_style(). The Gtk::RcStyle structure is designed so each field can either be set or unset, so it is possible, using this function, to modify some style values and leave the others unchanged.

Note that modifications made with this function are not cumulative with previous calls to modify_style() or with such functions as modify_fg(). If you wish to retain previous values, you must first call get_modifier_style(), make your modifications to the returned style, then call modify_style() with that style. On the other hand, if you first call modify_style(), subsequent calls to such functions modify_fg() will have a cumulative effect with the initial modifications.

Parameters:
style The Gtk::RcStyle holding the style modifications.

void Gtk::Widget::modify_text ( StateType  state,
const Gdk::Color color 
)

Sets the text color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. The text color is the foreground color used along with the base color (see modify_base()) for widgets such as Gtk::Entry and Gtk::TextView. See also modify_style().

Parameters:
state The state for which to set the text color.
color The color to assign (does not need to be allocated).

static void Gtk::Widget::push_colormap ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Colormap>&  cmap  )  [static]

Pushes cmap onto a global stack of colormaps; the topmost colormap on the stack will be used to create all widgets.

Remove cmap with pop_colormap(). There's little reason to use this function.

Parameters:
cmap A Gdk::Colormap.

static void Gtk::Widget::push_composite_child (  )  [static]

Makes all newly-created widgets as composite children until the corresponding pop_composite_child() call.

A composite child is a child that's an implementation detail of the container it's inside and should not be visible to people using the container. Composite children aren't treated differently by GTK (but see Gtk::Container::foreach() vs. Gtk::Container::forall()), but e.g. GUI builders might want to treat them in a different way.

Here is a simple example:

 gtk_widget_push_composite_child (&lt;!-- --&gt;);
 scrolled_window->hscrollbar = gtk_hscrollbar_new (hadjustment);
 gtk_widget_set_composite_name (scrolled_window->hscrollbar, "hscrollbar");
 gtk_widget_pop_composite_child (&lt;!-- --&gt;);
 gtk_widget_set_parent (scrolled_window->hscrollbar, 
 GTK_WIDGET (scrolled_window));
 g_object_ref (scrolled_window->hscrollbar);

void Gtk::Widget::queue_draw (  ) 

Equivalent to calling queue_draw_area() for the entire area of a widget.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_draw_area ( int  x,
int  y,
int  width,
int  height 
)

Invalidates the rectangular area of widget defined by x , y , width and height by calling gdk_window_invalidate_rect() on the widget's window and all its child windows.

Once the main loop becomes idle (after the current batch of events has been processed, roughly), the window will receive expose events for the union of all regions that have been invalidated.

Normally you would only use this function in widget implementations. You might also use it, or gdk_window_invalidate_rect() directly, to schedule a redraw of a Gtk::DrawingArea or some portion thereof.

Frequently you can just call gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region() instead of this function. Those functions will invalidate only a single window, instead of the widget and all its children.

The advantage of adding to the invalidated region compared to simply drawing immediately is efficiency; using an invalid region ensures that you only have to redraw one time.

Parameters:
x X coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw.
y Y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw.
width Width of region to draw.
height Height of region to draw.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_resize (  ) 

This function is only for use in widget implementations.

Flags a widget to have its size renegotiated; should be called when a widget for some reason has a new size request. For example, when you change the text in a Gtk::Label, Gtk::Label queues a resize to ensure there's enough space for the new text.

void Gtk::Widget::queue_resize_no_redraw (  ) 

This function works like queue_resize(), except that the widget is not invalidated.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

bool Gtk::Widget::rc_style (  )  const

void Gtk::Widget::realize (  )  [protected]

Creates the GDK (windowing system) resources associated with a widget.

For example, widget ->window will be created when a widget is realized. Normally realization happens implicitly; if you show a widget and all its parent containers, then the widget will be realized and mapped automatically.

Realizing a widget requires all the widget's parent widgets to be realized; calling realize() realizes the widget's parents in addition to widget itself. If a widget is not yet inside a toplevel window when you realize it, bad things will happen.

This function is primarily used in widget implementations, and isn't very useful otherwise. Many times when you think you might need it, a better approach is to connect to a signal that will be called after the widget is realized automatically, such as "expose_event". Or simply Glib::signal_connect_after() to the "realize" signal.

void Gtk::Widget::realize_if_needed (  )  [protected]

bool Gtk::Widget::receives_default (  )  const

Gdk::Region Gtk::Widget::region_intersect ( const Gdk::Region region  )  const

Computes the intersection of a widget 's area and region , returning the intersection.

The result may be empty, use gdk_region_empty() to check.

Parameters:
region A Gdk::Region, in the same coordinate system as widget ->allocation. That is, relative to widget ->window for NO_WINDOW widgets; relative to the parent window of widget ->window for widgets with their own window.
Returns:
A newly allocated region holding the intersection of widget and region . The coordinates of the return value are relative to widget ->window for NO_WINDOW widgets, and relative to the parent window of widget ->window for widgets with their own window.

bool Gtk::Widget::remove_accelerator ( const Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup>&  accel_group,
guint  accel_key,
Gdk::ModifierType  accel_mods 
)

Removes an accelerator from widget , previously installed with add_accelerator().

Parameters:
accel_group Accel group for this widget.
accel_key GDK keyval of the accelerator.
accel_mods Modifier key combination of the accelerator.
Returns:
Whether an accelerator was installed and could be removed.

void Gtk::Widget::remove_mnemonic_label ( Widget label  ) 

Removes a widget from the list of mnemonic labels for this widget.

(See list_mnemonic_labels()). The widget must have previously been added to the list with add_mnemonic_label().

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
label A Gtk::Widget that was previously set as a mnemnic label for widget with add_mnemonic_label().

void Gtk::Widget::remove_modal_grab (  ) 

Remove the modal grab of the widget in case it was previously grabbed.

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> Gtk::Widget::render_icon ( const StockID stock_id,
IconSize  size,
const Glib::ustring detail = Glib::ustring() 
)

A convenience function that uses the theme engine and RC file settings for the widget to look up stock_id and render it to a pixbuf.

stock_id should be a stock icon ID such as Gtk::STOCK_OPEN or Gtk::STOCK_OK. size should be a size such as Gtk::ICON_SIZE_MENU. detail should be a string that identifies the widget or code doing the rendering, so that theme engines can special-case rendering for that widget or code.

The pixels in the returned Gdk::Pixbuf are shared with the rest of the application and should not be modified. The pixbuf should be freed after use with Glib::object_unref().

Parameters:
stock_id A stock ID.
size A stock size. A size of (GtkIconSize)-1 means render at the size of the source and don't scale (if there are multiple source sizes, GTK+ picks one of the available sizes).
detail Render detail to pass to theme engine.
Returns:
A new pixbuf if the stock ID was known.

void Gtk::Widget::reparent ( Widget new_parent  ) 

Moves a widget from one Gtk::Container to another, handling reference count issues to avoid destroying the widget.

Parameters:
new_parent A Gtk::Container to move the widget into.

void Gtk::Widget::reset_rc_styles (  ) 

void Gtk::Widget::reset_shapes (  ) 

Recursively resets the shape on this widget and its descendants.

int Gtk::Widget::send_expose ( GdkEvent *  event  ) 

Very rarely-used function.

This function is used to emit an expose event signals on a widget. This function is not normally used directly. The only time it is used is when propagating an expose event to a child NO_WINDOW widget, and that is normally done using Gtk::Container::propagate_expose().

If you want to force an area of a window to be redrawn, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region(). To cause the redraw to be done immediately, follow that call with a call to gdk_window_process_updates().

Parameters:
event A expose Gdk::Event.
Returns:
Return from the event signal emission (true if the event was handled).

bool Gtk::Widget::sensitive (  )  const

void Gtk::Widget::set_accel_path ( const Glib::ustring accel_path,
const Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup>&  accel_group 
)

Given an accelerator group, accel_group , and an accelerator path, accel_path , sets up an accelerator in accel_group so whenever the key binding that is defined for accel_path is pressed, widget will be activated.

This removes any accelerators (for any accelerator group) installed by previous calls to set_accel_path(). Associating accelerators with paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications to be saved for future use. (See gtk_accel_map_save().)

This function is a low level function that would most likely be used by a menu creation system like Gtk::ItemFactory. If you use Gtk::ItemFactory, setting up accelerator paths will be done automatically.

Even when you you aren't using Gtk::ItemFactory, if you only want to set up accelerators on menu items Gtk::MenuItem::set_accel_path() provides a somewhat more convenient interface.

Parameters:
accel_path Path used to look up the accelerator.
accel_group A Gtk::AccelGroup.

void Gtk::Widget::set_allocation ( const Allocation value  )  [protected]

void Gtk::Widget::set_app_paintable ( bool  app_paintable = true  ) 

Sets whether the application intends to draw on the widget in an expose-event handler.

This is a hint to the widget and does not affect the behavior of the GTK+ core; many widgets ignore this flag entirely. For widgets that do pay attention to the flag, such as Gtk::EventBox and Gtk::Window, the effect is to suppress default themed drawing of the widget's background. (Children of the widget will still be drawn.) The application is then entirely responsible for drawing the widget background.

Parameters:
app_paintable true if the application will paint on the widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_child_visible ( bool  is_visible = true  ) 

Sets whether widget should be mapped along with its when its parent is mapped and widget has been shown with show().

The child visibility can be set for widget before it is added to a container with set_parent(), to avoid mapping children unnecessary before immediately unmapping them. However it will be reset to its default state of true when the widget is removed from a container.

Note that changing the child visibility of a widget does not queue a resize on the widget. Most of the time, the size of a widget is computed from all visible children, whether or not they are mapped. If this is not the case, the container can queue a resize itself.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

Parameters:
is_visible If true, widget should be mapped along with its parent.

void Gtk::Widget::set_colormap ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Colormap>&  colormap  ) 

Sets the colormap for the widget to the given value.

Widget must not have been previously realized. This probably should only be used from an init() function (i.e. from the constructor for the widget).

Parameters:
colormap A colormap.

void Gtk::Widget::set_composite_name ( const Glib::ustring name  ) 

Sets a widgets composite name.

The widget must be a composite child of its parent; see push_composite_child().

Parameters:
name The name to set.

static void Gtk::Widget::set_default_colormap ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Colormap>&  colormap  )  [static]

Sets the default colormap to use when creating widgets.

push_colormap() is a better function to use if you only want to affect a few widgets, rather than all widgets.

Parameters:
colormap A Gdk::Colormap.

static void Gtk::Widget::set_default_direction ( TextDirection  dir  )  [static]

Sets the default reading direction for widgets where the direction has not been explicitly set by set_direction().

Parameters:
dir The new default direction. This cannot be Gtk::TEXT_DIR_NONE.

void Gtk::Widget::set_direction ( TextDirection  dir  ) 

Sets the reading direction on a particular widget.

This direction controls the primary direction for widgets containing text, and also the direction in which the children of a container are packed. The ability to set the direction is present in order so that correct localization into languages with right-to-left reading directions can be done. Generally, applications will let the default reading direction present, except for containers where the containers are arranged in an order that is explicitely visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).

If the direction is set to Gtk::TEXT_DIR_NONE, then the value set by set_default_direction() will be used.

Parameters:
dir The new direction.

void Gtk::Widget::set_double_buffered ( bool  double_buffered = true  ) 

Widgets are double buffered by default; you can use this function to turn off the buffering.

"Double buffered" simply means that gdk_window_begin_paint_region() and gdk_window_end_paint() are called automatically around expose events sent to the widget. gdk_window_begin_paint() diverts all drawing to a widget's window to an offscreen buffer, and gdk_window_end_paint() draws the buffer to the screen. The result is that users see the window update in one smooth step, and don't see individual graphics primitives being rendered.

In very simple terms, double buffered widgets don't flicker, so you would only use this function to turn off double buffering if you had special needs and really knew what you were doing.

Note:
if you turn off double-buffering, you have to handle expose events, since even the clearing to the background color or pixmap will not happen automatically (as it is done in gdk_window_begin_paint()).
Parameters:
double_buffered true to double-buffer a widget.

void Gtk::Widget::set_events ( Gdk::EventMask  events  ) 

Sets the event mask (see Gdk::EventMask) for a widget.

The event mask determines which events a widget will receive. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider add_events() for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with Gtk::NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a Gtk::EventBox and receive events on the event box.

Parameters:
events Event mask.

void Gtk::Widget::set_extension_events ( Gdk::ExtensionMode  mode  ) 

Sets the extension events mask to mode .

See Gdk::ExtensionMode and gdk_input_set_extension_events().

Parameters:
mode Bitfield of extension events to receive.

void Gtk::Widget::set_flags ( WidgetFlags  flags  ) 

void Gtk::Widget::set_name ( const Glib::ustring name  ) 

Widgets can be named, which allows you to refer to them from a gtkrc file.

You can apply a style to widgets with a particular name in the gtkrc file. See the documentation for gtkrc files (on the same page as the docs for Gtk::RcStyle).

Note that widget names are separated by periods in paths (see path()), so names with embedded periods may cause confusion.

Parameters:
name Name for the widget.

Reimplemented in Gtk::AboutDialog.

void Gtk::Widget::set_no_show_all ( bool  no_show_all = true  ) 

Sets the "no_show_all" property, which determines whether calls to show_all() and hide_all() will affect this widget.

This is mostly for use in constructing widget hierarchies with externally controlled visibility, see Gtk::UIManager.

Since gtkmm 2.4:
Parameters:
no_show_all The new value for the "no_show_all" property.

void Gtk::Widget::set_parent ( Widget parent  ) 

This function is useful only when implementing subclasses of Gtk::Container.

Sets the container as the parent of widget , and takes care of some details such as updating the state and style of the child to reflect its new location. The opposite function is unparent().

Parameters:
parent Parent container.

void Gtk::Widget::set_parent_window ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Window>&  parent_window  ) 

Sets a non default parent window for widget .

Parameters:
parent_window The new parent window.

void Gtk::Widget::set_redraw_on_allocate ( bool  redraw_on_allocate = true  ) 

Sets whether the entire widget is queued for drawing when its size allocation changes.

By default, this setting is true and the entire widget is redrawn on every size change. If your widget leaves the upper left unchanged when made bigger, turning this setting on will improve performance.

Note that for NO_WINDOW widgets setting this flag to false turns off all allocation on resizing: the widget will not even redraw if its position changes; this is to allow containers that don't draw anything to avoid excess invalidations. If you set this flag on a NO_WINDOW widget that does draw on widget ->window, you are responsible for invalidating both the old and new allocation of the widget when the widget is moved and responsible for invalidating regions newly when the widget increases size.

Parameters:
redraw_on_allocate If true, the entire widget will be redrawn when it is allocated to a new size. Otherwise, only the new portion of the widget will be redrawn.

bool Gtk::Widget::set_scroll_adjustments ( Adjustment hadjustment,
Adjustment vadjustment 
)

For widgets that support scrolling, sets the scroll adjustments and returns true.

For widgets that don't support scrolling, does nothing and returns false. Widgets that don't support scrolling can be scrolled by placing them in a Gtk::Viewport, which does support scrolling.

Parameters:
hadjustment An adjustment for horizontal scrolling, or 0.
vadjustment An adjustment for vertical scrolling, or 0.
Returns:
true if the widget supports scrolling.

void Gtk::Widget::set_sensitive ( bool  sensitive = true  ) 

Sets the sensitivity of a widget.

A widget is sensitive if the user can interact with it. Insensitive widgets are "grayed out" and the user can't interact with them. Insensitive widgets are known as "inactive", "disabled", or "ghosted" in some other toolkits.

Parameters:
sensitive true to make the widget sensitive.

void Gtk::Widget::set_size_request ( int  width = -1,
int  height = -1 
)

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size request will be width by height .

You can use this function to force a widget to be either larger or smaller than it normally would be.

In most cases, Gtk::Window::set_default_size() is a better choice for toplevel windows than this function; setting the default size will still allow users to shrink the window. Setting the size request will force them to leave the window at least as large as the size request. When dealing with window sizes, Gtk::Window::set_geometry_hints() can be a useful function as well.

Note the inherent danger of setting any fixed size - themes, translations into other languages, different fonts, and user action can all change the appropriate size for a given widget. So, it's basically impossible to hardcode a size that will always be correct.

The size request of a widget is the smallest size a widget can accept while still functioning well and drawing itself correctly. However in some strange cases a widget may be allocated less than its requested size, and in many cases a widget may be allocated more space than it requested.

If the size request in a given direction is -1 (unset), then the "natural" size request of the widget will be used instead.

Widgets can't actually be allocated a size less than 1 by 1, but you can pass 0,0 to this function to mean "as small as possible."

Parameters:
width Width widget should request, or -1 to unset.
height Height widget should request, or -1 to unset.

void Gtk::Widget::set_state ( Gtk::StateType  state  ) 

This function is for use in widget implementations.

Sets the state of a widget (insensitive, prelighted, etc.) Usually you should set the state using wrapper functions such as set_sensitive().

Parameters:
state New state for widget .

void Gtk::Widget::set_style ( const Glib::RefPtr<Style>&  style  ) 

Sets the Gtk::Style for a widget ( widget ->style).

You probably don't want to use this function; it interacts badly with themes, because themes work by replacing the Gtk::Style. Instead, use modify_style().

Parameters:
style A Gtk::Style.

void Gtk::Widget::set_window ( const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>&  value  )  [protected]

void Gtk::Widget::shape_combine_mask ( const Glib::RefPtr<const Gdk::Bitmap>&  shape_mask,
int  offset_x,
int  offset_y 
)

Sets a shape for this widget's GDK window.

This allows for transparent windows etc., see gdk_window_shape_combine_mask() for more information.

Parameters:
shape_mask Shape to be added.
offset_x X position of shape mask with respect to window .
offset_y Y position of shape mask with respect to window .

void Gtk::Widget::show (  ) 

Flags a widget to be displayed.

Any widget that isn't shown will not appear on the screen. If you want to show all the widgets in a container, it's easier to call show_all() on the container, instead of individually showing the widgets.

Remember that you have to show the containers containing a widget, in addition to the widget itself, before it will appear onscreen.

When a toplevel container is shown, it is immediately realized and mapped; other shown widgets are realized and mapped when their toplevel container is realized and mapped.

void Gtk::Widget::show_all (  ) 

Recursively shows a widget, and any child widgets (if the widget is a container).

virtual void Gtk::Widget::show_all_vfunc (  )  [protected, virtual]

void Gtk::Widget::show_now (  ) 

Shows a widget.

If the widget is an unmapped toplevel widget (i.e. a Gtk::Window that has not yet been shown), enter the main loop and wait for the window to actually be mapped. Be careful; because the main loop is running, anything can happen during this function.

Glib::SignalProxy1<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_begin (  ) 

THe drag_begin signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is started.

A typical reason to connect to this signal is to set up a custom drag icon with drag_source_set_icon().

Parameters:
context the drag context
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_begin(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

Glib::SignalProxy1<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_delete (  ) 

The drag_data_delete signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag with the action Gdk::ACTION_MOVE is successfully completed.

The signal handler is responsible for deleting the data that has been dropped. What "delete" means, depends on the context of the drag operation.

Parameters:
context the drag context.
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_data_delete(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

Glib::SignalProxy4<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,SelectionData&,guint,guint> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_get (  ) 

The drag_data_get signal is emitted on the drag source when the drop site requests the data which is dragged.

It is the responsibility of the signal handler to fill data with the data in the format which is indicated by info. See SelectionData::set() and SelectionData::set_text().

Parameters:
context,: the drag context.
selection_data the SelectionData to be filled with the dragged data.
info the info that has been registered with the target in the TargetList.
time the timestamp at which the data was requested.
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_data_get(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, SelectionData& selection_data, guint info, guint time)

Glib::SignalProxy6<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,const SelectionData&,guint,guint> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_data_received (  ) 

The drag_data_received signal is emitted on the drop site when the dragged data has been received.

If the data was received in order to determine whether the drop will be accepted, the handler is expected to call drag_status() and <emphasis>not</emphasis> finish the drag. If the data was received in response to a drag_drop signal (and this is the last target to be received), the handler for this signal is expected to process the received data and then call drag_finish(), setting the success parameter depending on whether the data was processed successfully.

The handler may inspect and modify ->action before calling gtk_drag_finish(), e.g. to implement GdkACTION_ASK.

Parameters:
drag_context the drag context
x where the drop happened
y where the drop happened
data the received data
info the info that has been registered with the target in the TargetList.
time the timestamp at which the data was received.
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_data_received(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, const SelectionData& selection_data, guint info, guint time)

Glib::SignalProxy4<bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,guint> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_drop (  ) 

The drag_drop signal is emitted on the drop site when the user drops the data onto the widget.

The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns false and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns true. In this case, the handler must ensure that gtk_drag_finish() is called to let the source know that the drop is done. The call to gtk_drag_finish() can be done either directly or in a drag_data_received handler which gets triggered by calling drop_get_data() to receive the data for one or more of the supported targets.

Parameters:
context the drag context.
x the x coordinate of the current cursor position.
y the y coordinate of the current cursor position.
time,: the timestamp of the motion event.
Returns:
whether the cursor position is in a drop zone
Prototype:
bool on_my_drag_drop(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, guint time)

Glib::SignalProxy1<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_end (  ) 

The drag_end signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is finished.

A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in the drag-begin signal handler.

Parameters:
context the drag context.
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_end(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context)

Glib::SignalProxy2<void,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,guint> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_leave (  ) 

The drag_leave signal is emitted on the drop site when the cursor leaves the widget.

A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in the drag_motion signal handler, e.g. undo highlighting with drag_unhighlight().

Parameters:
context the drag context.
time the timestamp of the motion event.
Prototype:
void on_my_drag_leave(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, guint time)

Glib::SignalProxy4<bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>&,int,int,guint> Gtk::Widget::signal_drag_motion (  ) 

The drag_motion signal is emitted on the drop site when the user moves the cursor over the widget during a drag.

The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns false and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns true. In this case, the handler is responsible for providing the necessary information for displaying feedback to the user, by calling drag_status(). If the decision whether the drop will be accepted or rejected can't be made based solely on the cursor position and the type of the data, the handler may inspect the dragged data by calling drag_get_data() and defer the drag_status() call to the drag_data_received handler.

Note that there is no drag_enter signal. The drag receiver has to keep track of whether he has received any drag_motion signals since the last drag_leave and if not, treat the drag_motion signal as an "enter" signal. Upon an "enter", the handler will typically highlight the drop site with drag_highlight().

Parameters:
context the drag context.
x the x coordinate of the current cursor position.
y the y coordinate of the current cursor position.
time the timestamp of the motion event.
Returns:
whether the cursor position is in a drop zone.
Prototype:
bool on_my_drag_motion(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::DragContext>& context, int x, int y, guint time)

void Gtk::Widget::size_allocate ( const Allocation allocation  ) 

This function is only used by Gtk::Container subclasses, to assign a size and position to their child widgets.

Parameters:
allocation Position and size to be allocated to widget .

void Gtk::Widget::size_request ( const Requisition requisition  ) 

This function is typically used when implementing a Gtk::Container subclass.

Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what size allocations to give them with size_allocate().

You can also call this function from an application, with some caveats. Most notably, getting a size request requires the widget to be associated with a screen, because font information may be needed. Multihead-aware applications should keep this in mind.

Also remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a widget will actually be allocated.

See also get_child_requisition().

Deprecated:
Use size_request() const.
Parameters:
requisition A Gtk::Requisition to be filled in.

Requisition Gtk::Widget::size_request (  )  const

This function is typically used when implementing a Gtk::Container subclass.

Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what size allocations to give them with size_allocate().

You can also call this function from an application, with some caveats. Most notably, getting a size request requires the widget to be associated with a screen, because font information may be needed. Multihead-aware applications should keep this in mind.

Also remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a widget will actually be allocated.

See also get_child_requisition().

Returns:
A Gtk::Requisition.

void Gtk::Widget::thaw_child_notify (  ) 

Reverts the effect of a previous call to freeze_child_notify().

This causes all queued "child-notify" signals on widget to be emitted.

bool Gtk::Widget::translate_coordinates ( Widget dest_widget,
int  src_x,
int  src_y,
int &  dest_x,
int &  dest_y 
)

Translate coordinates relative to src_widget 's allocation to coordinates relative to dest_widget 's allocations.

In order to perform this operation, both widgets must be realized, and must share a common toplevel.

Parameters:
dest_widget A Gtk::Widget.
src_x X position relative to src_widget .
src_y Y position relative to src_widget .
dest_x Location to store X position relative to dest_widget .
dest_y Location to store Y position relative to dest_widget .
Returns:
false if either widget was not realized, or there was no common ancestor. In this case, nothing is stored in * dest_x and * dest_y . Otherwise true.
