The api to configure surfaces is now GdkToplevelLayout
and GdkPopupLayout. Unfortunately, there's still quite
a bit of internal use of GdkGeometry that will take some
time to clean up, so move it go gdkinternals.h for now.
Make GtkAspectFrame not derive from GtkFrame anymore,
since frames now always draw, well, a frame. Also,
add proper setters for the properties of GtkAspectFrame.
Update our sole user.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/2627
The viewport draws a frame at the same place as
the scrolled window, so there is really no need
to have that ability in both. Just drop the frame
from viewports.
GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
Make this a full async function, and add a simple wrapper.
Call gtk_show_uri_full() if you need control over the
results, and use gtk_show_uri() if you are fine with
ignoring any errors.
We have event controller apis to replace these.
There is one remaining use of gtk_get_current_event_time
in gtkwindow.c, so we can't drop the implementation yet.
Add a section in the migration guide for this.
Our new approach to modifiers works with a fixed set,
there is really no need to customize the modifier
masks if the backends are all supposed to deliver
the same modifiers.
Add all of the keyboard translation results in the key event,
so we can translate the keyboard state at the time the event
is created, and avoid doing state translation at match time.
We actually need to carry two sets of translation results,
since we ignore CapsLock when matching accelerators, in
gdk_event_matches().
At the same time, drop the scancode field - it is only ever
set on win32, and is basically unused in GTK.
Update all callers.
People should use shortcut controllers instead (global, capture).
A side effect of this is that GtkAccelLabel now lost its method to
magically look up accelerators to display. Somebody needs to add that
back later.
This is mainly for internal use, but I can't see a reason to not have it
public for people who want to maintain their own lists.
I'm sure gnome-builder will never ever find a way to misuse it.
When creating shortcuts, there almost always are a trigger and an action
available for use. So make gtk_shortcut_new() take those as arguments.
Also add gtk_shortcut_new_with_arguments() so people can easily pass
those in, too.
Similar to GtkShortcutTrigger, GtkShortCutAction provides all the
different ways to activate a shortcut.
So far, these different ways are supported:
- do nothing
- Call a user-provided callback
- Call gtk_widget_activate()
- Call gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate()
- Emit an action signal
- Activate an action from the widget's action muxer
It's an outdated technology now that everybody is using GActionGroups.
If somebody wanted to support changeable shortcuts, they'd need to
reintroduce it in another way.
This adds an interface for taking care of shortcut controllers with
managed scope.
Only GtkWindow currently implements this interface, so we need to ensure
that we check if any top-level widget we reach is a shortcuts manager
before we call into it.
Mnemonics need to be triggered with help from the controllers (who
determine the modifiers). Support for that has been added, too.
Mnemonics do not use this yet though.
Allow setting the scope for a controller. The scope determines at what
point in event propagation the shortcuts will be activated.
Local scope is the usual activation, global scope means that the root
widget activates the shortcuts - ie they are activated at the very
start of event propagation (for global capture events) or the very end
(for global bubble events).
Managed scope so far is unimplemented.
This is supposed to be used to replace accelerators and mnemonics.
This is a very barebones controller that currently does nothing but
activate the binding signals. Yay.
And because we have bindings on every widget (Yes, a GtkGrid has a
keybinding - 2 in fact), we need that controller everywhere.
This function is the replacement for
gtk_binding_entry_add_signall().
The GVariant will be demarshalled and passed to the action signal upon
binding activation. The same rules apply as used to apply for
GtkBindingArg, in that long, double and string args are now replaced by
"x", "d" and "s" variant types.
Add an api to retrieve the model containing a given
item in a flatten listmodel. This is useful when the
individual items in the list don't have backpointers.

Before, gtk_drag_icon_new_for_drag() allowed creating new drag icons.
This could cause multiple drag icons to exist for a single drag.
Now, gtk_drag_icon_get_for_drag() makes sure that only one drag icon is
created.
This is a huge reorganization of GtkDropTarget. I did not know how to
split this up, so it's unfortunately all one commit.
Highlights:
- Split GtkDropTarget into GtkDropTarget and GtkDropTargetAsync
GtkDropTarget is the simple one that only works with GTypes and offers
a synchronous interface.
GtkDropTargetAsync retains the full old functionality and allows
handling mime types.
- Drop events are handled differently
Instead of picking a single drop target and sending all DND events to
it, every event is sent to every drop target. The first one to handle
the event gets to call gdk_drop_status(), further handlers do not
interact with the GdkDrop.
Of course, for the ultimate GDK_DROP_STARTING event, only the first
one to accept the drop gets to handle it.
This allows stacking DND event controllers that aren't necessarily
interested in handling the event or that might decide later to drop
it.
- Port all widgets to either of those
Both have a somewhat changed API due to the new event handling.
For the ones who should use the sync version, lots of cleanup was
involved to operate on a sync API.
It is enough to just set the parent (and make the parent
call gtk_native_check_resize in size_allocate).
This commit removes the relative_to argument to the
constructors of GtkPopover and GtkPopoverMenu, and
updates all callers.
replace all uses with const char * (non-interned).
Also remove a lot fo juggling from atom to GdkAtom to string and back.
The X Atom hash table is now mapping to (again, non-interned) strings.
The preview widget harks from a platform before time, when we didn't
have GIO, or a thumbnail specification.
Very few applications use it correctly, if at all; it has an horrid hack
to deal with the ownership of the widget's instance when accessed
through the getter function; it messes up the layout of the widget and
its label is less than useful when it comes to file names longer than a
dozen characters; it's a poor substitute for a proper thumbnail view.
GtkFileChooser's API predates GIO by a few years, so it started off with
filenames and URI as character arrays. After introducing GIO as a
dependency, the API included GFile-based entry points.
It's much more appropriate to use GFile everywhere, as we want to
encourage people to use GIO instead of passing random bytes to low level
POSIX API.
See: #2455
Replace the gdk_surface_move_to_rect() API with a new GdkSurface
method called gdk_surface_present_popup() taking a new GdkPopupLayout
object describing how they should be laid out on screen.
The layout properties provided are the same as the ones used with
gdk_surface_move_to_rect(), except they are now set up using
GdkPopupLayout.
Calling gdk_surface_present_popup() will either show the popup at the
position described using the popup layout object and a new unconstrained
size, or reposition it accordingly.
In some situations, such as when a popup is set to autohide, presenting
may immediately fail, in case the grab was not granted by the display
server.
After a successful present, the result of the layout can be queried
using the following methods:
* gdk_surface_get_position() - to get the position relative to its
parent
* gdk_surface_get_width() - to get the current width
* gdk_surface_get_height() - to get the current height
* gdk_surface_get_rect_anchor() - to get the anchor point on the anchor
rectangle the popup was effectively positioned against given
constraints defined by the environment and the layout rules provided
via GdkPopupLayout.
* gdk_surface_get_surface_anchor() - the same as the one above but for
the surface anchor.
A new signal replaces the old "moved-to-rect" one -
"popup-layout-changed". However, it is only intended to be emitted when
the layout changes implicitly by the windowing system, for example if
the monitor resolution changed, or the parent window moved.
Add properties, and use string arrays instead of lists.
Among other things, this renames gtk_icon_theme_list_icons
to gtk_icon_theme_get_icon_names.

Accessors like these are weird to have and we can add widgets to the
content area via gtk_container_add() as well as add widgets to the
action area via gtk_info_bar_add_action_widget().
The function is fundamentally broken for unbounded surfaces.
If a surface is unbounded, we cannot represent this as a
cairo_rectangle_int_t, and using the return value doesn't work because
it's already used for something else.
In GTK3, unbounded surfaces aren't a problem, but GTK4 uses recording
surfaces.
So better remove that function before we keep using it and using it
wrong.
It is not great to put a function in the public api and
document it as "do not call this" only so we can refer
to its docs in other places. Therefore, fold the docs
directly into the input handling overview chapter.
These are always set to the same value as the corresponding border
radius properties. They are also non-standard, so remove them and
replace them with the border radius properties everywhere.
Fixes#2414
This is an unused feature that's way too complicated for a default
calendar widget and complicates the implementation a lot. Since we want
to eventually replace this with actual widgets, remove the details
support now.
Those functions are unused and the documentation says "Returns some
random number that the icon theme creator chose" which does not seem at
all useful and an implementation detail.
So get rid of it.
We expose no API to get at any colors for drawing symbolics, so we
shouldn't have APIs to draw with them.
Apart from that, those APIs look like a box of crayons, not like an
icontheme.
The API encouraged wrong usage - most of the users were indeed wrong.
Use the correct version instead:
gtk_icon_theme_get_for_display (gtk_widget_get_display ())
This is a useful widget to have, and it has minimal api.
Not having it public forces apps to recreate a lot of
complicated machinery for not good reason, if they need
an Emoji chooser in a different context.
We rely on a specific minimum version of gtk-doc to be able to build the
GTK API reference for the new API. In order to be able to use gtk-doc as
a subproject, though, we need to use a recent version of Meson.
Add GtkWidget API for adding and removing style classes, as well as
checking whether a widget has a style class applied.
Everyone has to go through GtkStyleContext for this these days but with
GtkStyleContext eventually going away, it makse sense for GtkWidget to
have API for this.
This is a more modern way of doing things, and avoids a window
of type GTK_WINDOW_POPUP. With a popover, it doesn't make sense
to have a positioning function, so remove that api.
Do away with the proxy menu items, and instead
just have toolitems provide a label for overflow
items. We create the overflow widgets ourselves
already, as model buttons.
Also replace the toggle button used for overflow
with a menubutton, simplifying things further.
