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.
- 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.
Root coordinates are going away, so this
api does not make sense anymore. Use
gdk_surface_get_device_position instead.
We still keep this as internal api for
root-coordinate using backends.
This api is meant to mimic xdg-popover.grab - we
show the surface, and dismiss it when we get events
on other surfaces. For foreign surfaces, the compositor
handles that for us; for our own, we check outselves
before delivering events to GTK.
We want to use a gdk_surface_new_popup for popups,
and align the constructor names with the surface
types, so rename
gdk_surface_new_popup -> gdk_surface_new_temp
gdk_surface_new_popup_full -> gdk_surface_new_popup
The temp surface type will disappear eventually.
We are not creating such surfaces anymore, and
they were only ever meaningfully implemented
on X11. Drop the concept, and the api for determining
if a surface is input-only.
We still need to keep the vfunc around, since the
fallback implementation of gdk_display_get_monitor_at_surface
uses it. So, a GDK backend must either have root coordinates
or always return a monitor from monitor_at_surface.
We still need to keep the vfunc around, since the
fallback implementation for move_to_rect uses it.
So, a GDK backend must either have root coordinates
or implement move_to_rect.
The 'documentation' option also guarded the man page build. Instead
if skipping the whole docs subdir skip the specific gtkdoc calls, so that the
man page build still works.
This brings it in line with the gtk3 meson build.
GdkAtom is a typedef to a pointer to an opaque structure. We need to
tell GTK-Doc how to override it, so that the documentation is accurate.
Fixes: #302
This is not an api we want to propagate anymore.
If you need to, you can still emit the "clicked"
action signal on a button using g_signal_emit_by_name.
Make GtkMenuButton a widget that has a
toggle button, instead of deriving from it.
We give it icon-name and label properties,
to let people do what they expect to do
with menu buttons.
This is writing data in the capture format of sysprof,
using the SpCaptureWriter. For now, this is using a
vendored copy of libsysprof. Eventually, we want to
use the static library that sysprof provides.
The default widget is mostly a dialog concept,
and does not really need this generic api.
If you need to mark a widget as default,
use gtk_window_set_default() directly.
This api wasn't used anywhere in GTK. And since
we've dropped the variant for the default widget,
this one should go too. If it is needed, it should
become and action too.
The skip-taskbar, skip-pager and urgency hints were
only ever implemented for X11, and are not very useful
with modern desktops. Relegate the functionality to
x11 backend api, and drop the GtkWindow api.
gtk_css_provider_get_named() is the old GTK3 style API to load themes.
Instead, export the function we currently use,
gtk_css_provider_load_named().
As a side effect we allow people to load a theme as often as they want
without conflicting with GTK's theme.
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).
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.
This is a very old X session management thing, and you
will be hard-pressed to find a session manager that can
make use of it, and even harder-pressed to find apps
using it to their advantage.
...and the setter/getter for it.

Layout managers needs a way to store properties that control the layout
policy of a widget; typically, we used to store these in GtkContainer's
child properties, but since GtkLayoutManager is decoupled from the
actual container widget, we need a separate storage. Additionally, child
properties have their own downsides, like requiring a separate, global
GParamSpecPool storage, and additional lookup API.
GtkLayoutChild is a simple GObject class, which means you can introspect
and document it as you would any other type.
We delegate the size request mode, the measuring, and the allocation of
a widget through a GtkLayoutManager instance, if one has been attached
to the widget; otherwise, we fall back to the widget's own implementation.
A base abstract class for layout manager delegate objects.
Layout managers are associated to a single widget, like event
controllers, and are responsible for measuring and allocating the
children of the widget they are bound to.
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.
In particular, add a per-category querying API for the matrix:
- gsk_transform_to_translate()
- gsk_transform_to_affine()
- gsk_transform_to_2d()
- gsk_transform_to_matrix()
This way, code can use the relevant one for the given category.
Change gdk_surface_get/set_user_data to private
API and rename them to get/set_widget.
Also remove an unused associated function.
The last two places where the surface API is used
are in gtkroot.c and gtkwidget.c. Make them
use the private api.
This is a first cut at updating the drawing model chapter
for the way we do things now. It introduces the scene graph and
render nodes, explains node caching and tree diffing, and removes
sections about subwindows.
Instead of gtk_snapshot_offset(), provide a full set of functions
kept in sync with GtkTransform APIs.
On top of that, add gtk_snapshot_save() and gtk_snapshot_restore()
mirroring cairo_save()/restore() that allow saving a snapshot's
transform state.
This is a new object (well, boxed type, but I'm calling it object) for
dealing with transform in a more constructive way than graphene_matrix_t
by keeping track of how the transform was created.
This way, reasoning about the transform becomes easier, and we can create
better ways to print it or transition from one transform to another one.
An example of this is that while a 0 degree and a 360degree rotation are
both the identity matrix, doing a transition between the two would cause
a rotation.
Use a GtkText child, and delegate the editable functionality
to it. Also forward all the properties that are provided by
GtkText.
Some of the more internal APIs, such as layout and im context
access and caps-lock warning, are removed here, but we preserve
most of the plain GtkEntry API by forwarding it to the GtkText
child.
The transform matrix is a translation matrix from the parent's origin to
the widget origin. We will later allow more transformations than just
translations.
Change the reorder api to insert after a sibling,
so that moving to first place becomes reorder (... NULL).
And add a insert_after api that can replace the common
container_add / reorder_after (... NULL) combination.
Update all callers.
