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.

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.
- Move into its own section
- Split GtkTreeListRow into its own document
Trees are weird with listmodels and they deserve their own treatment,
they shouldn't be mushed up with the rest of the list machinery.
... and use them.
Also, rename them from is/contains-pointer-focus to is/contains-pointer,
that's clear enough and not too long.
Finally, adapt the semantics of contains-pointer to mirror
GtkEventControllerKey::contains-focus. If is-pointer is set, so is
contains-pointer, they are not exclusive.
Which is what all users of this property wanted, too.
GtkBuilderScope is an interface that provides the scope that a builder
instance operates in.
It creates closures and resolves types. Language bindings are meant to
use this interface to customize the behavior of builder files, in
particular when instantiating templates.
A default implementation for C is provided via GtkBuilderCScope (to keep
with the awkward naming that glib uses for closures). It is derivable on
purpose so that languages or extensions that extend C can use it.
The reftest code in fact does derive GtkBuilderCScope for its own scope
implementation that implements looking up symbols in modules.
gtk-widget-factory was updated to use the new GtkBuilderCScope to add
its custom callback symbols.
So it does it different from gtk-demo, which uses the normal way of
exporting symbols for dlsym() and thereby makes the 2 demos test the 2
ways GtkBuilder uses for looking up symbols.
Use it as the default object for expression binds and when connecting
signals. It is intended to work kind of as the "this" object while
parsing. In fact, the term "current object" was stolen from the Java
docs and various C++ tutorials for the this pointer.
Set the current object in gtk_widget_init_template() and
GtkListItemBuilder.
This more-or-less replaces the object passed to
gtk_builder_connect_signals() in GTK3.
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 will be the future way to connect signals automatically (and be
used for other things, too).
For now, gtk_builder_connect_signals_default() is ported to use it.
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.
GTK uses the Meson `buildtype` option to determine whether to enable or
disable debugging code and safeties. We should document our behaviour
and expectations.
This builds upon the GtkTextHistory helper to provide undo and redo support
for the GtkTextView widget and GtkTextBuffer object.
You can undo/redo using familiar shortcuts such as Primary+Z,
Primary+Shift+Z, ad Primary+Y.
Developers that wish to disable undo, should set the
GtkTextBuffer:enable-undo property to FALSE.
You can wrap irreversible actions
gtk_text_buffer_begin_irreversible_action() and
gtk_text_buffer_end_irreversible_action(). This will cause the undo stack
to drop all undo/redo actions and the changes made between them will be
the "initial state" of the buffer.
Calling gtk_text_buffer_set_text() will do this automatically for you.
This function is not useful. Every icon theme
on my system either does not have that field,
or has it as 'folder'. So, just use 'folder'
when you need an example icon.
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.
The renaming of this function doesn't make much since because the window
is the GtkTextWindowType, not GdkWindow specifically. So we can keep the
old name which is closer to the proper meaning and less code for consumers
to change when porting to 4.x.
The documentation stated:
GTK is a library.… GTK depends on the following libraries:
GTK The GTK library itself contains widgets, that is, GUI
components such as GtkButton or GtkTextView.
There is no point in stating, that the GTK library
depends on the GTK library.
I recently turned gtk_widget_activate_action()
into a varargs function. That is more convenient
from C, but we need a non-varargs variant for
bindings. So add the old API back, under the
name gtk_widget_activate_action_variant(),
with a rename-to annotation.
The migration from GdkScreen's monitor API to GdkMonitor left out a way
to get the connector's name of a monitor.
While there's no real guarantee coming from the underlying graphics
system that the connector's name is stable, some system components may
use it to uniquely identify a monitor until the next plug in/out event.
The only cases of stateful actions we've seen
so far have been boolean properties, and we
don't really want to add much state handling
API, so lets just go with property actions
for now.
Adapt the only user in GtkText.
Add a facility to register and install actions
at class init time. The intended use for these
actions is for
a) context and other model-based menus
b) key bindings
Most of these actions are going to be stateless,
so add separate apis for the simple and stateful
cases.
We avoid creating an action group for these by
teaching the action muxer about these actions.
The action muxer also maintains the enabled
state for these actions.
Drop the ::populate-popup signal and implement
the new context menu api. Things are a bit more
complicated here, since we have different menus
on links and selectable text.
Add a convenience api to skip children
that should not be included in the layout,
and call gtk_native_check_resize on all
native children outside of the vfunc.
Make gtk_popover_new_from_model() return a GtkPopoverMenu,
rename it to gtk_popover_menu_new_from_model() and add
a relative_to argument to gtk_popover_menu_new().
Update all callers.
