With the removal of grabs from the public API, we need a replacement API
to let applications bypass system keyboard shortcuts.
A typical use case for this API is remote desktop or virtual machine
viewers which need to inhibit the default system keyboard shortcuts so
that the remote session or virtual host gets those instead of the local
environment.

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.
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
Restructure the getters for event fields to
be more targeted at particular event types.
Update all callers, and replace all direct
event struct access with getters.
As a side-effect, this drops some unused getters.
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.
Fixes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2410
The old code did mimetype checks everywhere when type compatibility has
since been moved to the GtkDropTarget::accept signal.
So the code can now just assume a compatible mime type exists.
It doesn't really make sense to treat double clicks here different than
single clicks (and is bad UX), and it also breaks switching months by
quickly trying to single-click the last/first days in the calendar.
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.
These now render the paintable to a cairo surface and convert that
to a texture. This is sort of a hack, but its only used in two
special cases internally and in two hacky test apps.
If icon lookup fails or if loading it fails later, just always
fall back to the built in image-missing icon. Nobody is handling
missing icons in a sane way anyway.
If you *truly* need to handle missing icons, you need to manually
use gtk_icon_theme_has_icon().
While changing the loading code I also fixed an issue where it
was always passing "png" to pixbuf, now it also handles "xpm" if
that is the filename suffix.
Instead, rely on people passing fallbacks explicitly.
Alternatively, GThemedIcon provides the functionality to create
fallbacks, which is what GtkImage and the testsuite now use.
That method is slightly better, too, so the expected test results
have been updated accordingly.
There is no way to query contexts or do anything useful with them.
So don't keep track of them and don't make them an argument in public
APIs with the docs saying "I don't know what to use here, maybe read
some spec somewhere".
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.
Most users were just forgetting to set the proper flags.
And flags aren't the right way to set this anyway, it was just
acceptable as a workaround during GTK3 to not break API.
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 ())
We only have implementations of this on X11 and Win32,
so make it available as backend api there.
Update all callers to use either the backend api, or
just monitor 0.
This is an attempt to see how we can use sysprof data
in our tests to extract useful performance numbers.
Use it as a wrapper around any GTK+ process:
./testperf ./gtk4-widget-factory
Currently, it repeatedly runs the given commandline,
extracts the first css validation time from the resulting
syscap file, and prints out the min/max/avg of the runs
at the end.
This relies on the environment variable GTK_DEBUG_AUTO_QUIT
to cause the process to exit soon after launch.
Remove arguments from the constructor.
For actions, we now default to COPY, which is the most common one
that we should enable by default (MOVE requires handling deletion
on the the source side, and ASK only makes sense if we have
multiple actions).
For the content provider, we add a new ::prepare signal where
it should be provided just-in-time.
We're a normal application, so we can use the normal way to hook up code
into builder files, which is using dlsym() for the function pointers.
There's no need to to extra work exporting static symbols.
gtk_builder_connect_signals() is no longer necessary, because all the
setup that made it necessary to have this extra step is now done
automatically via the closure functions.
This is pretty unused and gets in the way of the next steps.
A potential side effect is that for templates the widget was passed as
the user data argument. If that turns out to be important, we have to
special case that situation.
The "iconified" state is mostly an X11-ism; every other platform calls
this state "minimized" because it may not involve turning a window into
an icon at all.
The GtkTextHistory helper provides the fundamental undo/redo stack that
can be integrated with other text widgets. It allows coalescing related
actions to reduce both the number of undo actions to the user as well as
the memory overhead.
A new istring helper is used by GtkTextHistory to allow for "inline
strings" that gracefully grow to using allocations with g_realloc(). This
ensure that most undo operations require no additional allocations other
than the struct for the action itself.
A queue of undoable and redoable actions are maintained and the link for
the queue is embedded in the undo action union. This allows again, for
reducing the number of allocations involved for undo operations.
This creates a new GtkTextViewChild that can manage overlay children at
given x,y offsets in buffer coordinates. This simplifies GtkTextView by
extracting this from GtkTextWindow as well as providing a real widget for
the borders.
With this change, we also rename gtk_text_view_add_child_in_window() to
gtk_text_view_add_overlay(). For those that were using
GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_WIDGET, they can use a GtkOverlay. It does not appear
that anyone was using GTK_TEXT_WINDOW_(LEFT|RIGHT|TOP|BOTTOM) for widgets
in this fashion, but that can be done by setting a gutter widget with
gtk_text_view_set_gutter(). We can make GtkTextViewChild public if
necessary to simplify this should it become necessary.
GtkTextViewChild will setup a CSS node of either "text" or "border"
depending on the GtkTextWindowType.
The old GtkTextViewChild has been renamed to AnchoredChild as it is only
used for widgets with anchors in the GtkTextBuffer. This also removes the
use of allocated GSList and instead embeds a GQueue and GList to save a
few extraneous allocations.
Make the transform (transfer full).
1. This makes sure we actually reference the transform. Previously we
did not.
2. Most callers create a new transform to pass to us. Now they don't
have to uref it anymore.
That test was cool in 2011, but hasn't been updated or used since then
because its features are now part of widget-factory and the inspector.
So let's remove it.
This library is meant to be the new CSS library that gets used from GDK,
GSK and GTK for string printing and parsing.
As a first step, move GtkCssProviderError into it.
While doing so, split it into GtkCssParserError (for critical problems)
and GtkCssParserWarning (for non-critical problems).
This will be used to let the inspector and other users
pick insensitive widgets again. For now, update all
callers to pass no flags, preserving the current
behavior.
The need of a specialised fixed layout container that can be placed into
a GtkScrolledWindow ceased to exist once GtkScrolledWindow gained the
ability to automatically interpose a GtkViewport when adding a child
that does not implement GtkScrollable.
All the other justifications that led to the existence of GtkLayout as a
separate widget from GtkFixed have been largely made irrelevant in the
20 years since its inception.
Add a ::show-peek-icon property and show a clickable
icon when it is set. Clicking it toggles the visibility
of the content. The same functionality is also accessible
via a context menu item.
This is a common feature of password entries.
Commit bd71e744d2 removed
gtk_box_pack_end(), but it added a gtk_container_add() with an
uninitialised widget, and the compiler is very unhappy about it.
The position child property is problematic, since it
requires us to emit notification for all children when
inserting a child early in the list of children.
Remove the property from all ui files.
as per efd3758f6a strcasecmp() is not a C
standard thing (not that we bothered including any header for it anyway)
and so this test failed to build on Windows with Microsoft Visual C.
Most of the code creating the two types of dialogs (open file,
choose folder) is the same. This refactors the common code into a
helper method. This also makes it easier to add other chooser types
for this test (e.g. save file).
This is way more complicated than it should be, because it requires
manually limiting the number of open file enumerators.
On the other hand, it exhaustively tests the items-changed emission of
all involved listmodels because those signals come in pretty much
randomly.
It's also 50% slower than the sync version, with the caeat that the sync
version only shows the UI after it's done loading, while this version
shows it right away.
This patch does multiple things:
1. Add a custom persistent per-row object.
2. Move all per-row API to that object. This means notifications are now
possible.
3. Add a "passthrough" construct-only property to the TreeListModel that
influences if the model returns these new object or passes through
the ones from the model.
This greatly simplifies the code needed to be written for widgetry,
because one can just connect the per-row object to the expanders that
expand and collapse rows.
As an added power feature, these objects can also be passed through
further models (like filter models).
It also adds kind of a hack to Adwaita to make the test look neat.
This is to go along with the newly introduced GdkDrop.
This commit includes the necessary updates to the X11, Wayland
and Broadway backends. Other backends have to be updated separately.
Instead of doing all handling manually in the ::event vfunc,
set up drag/multipress gestures on icon images, and implement
emission of ::icon-press/release and DnD there.
As a side effect, the GdkEvent field in ::icon-press/release
signals has been dropped. Callers that might be interested on it
may still use gtk_get_current_event*().
All of the four platform-dependent backends are enabled by default. It
is usually a good default because it requires users to explicitly choose
backends they want to use. Rules in meson.build also automatically
disable unavailable backends for macOS, Windows, Linux, so users on
these 3 major platforms don't have to manually disable things when
running meson commands.
However, meson.build doesn't do the same thing for other Unix-like
systems, which is acceptable but not ideal. To make it easier to build
GTK+ on these systems, the Linux case, which enables X11 and Wayland and
disables Win32 and Quartz, is made the default for all operating systems
that are not Windows or macOS.
This commit also changes most 'host_machine.system()' calls to os_*
variables, which are easier to read and less likely to be used wrongly.
This allows being more specific about the size.
It's useful in particular when the resulting render nodes might be
too small for the size, not only when they are too large. For the
latter case, using a clip node would be enough.
It also requires adding a clip node when rendering the resulting
paintable, but that should be optimized out by GtkSnapshot when not
necessary.
