In 99.9% of all cases, these are just NULL, NULL.
So just do away with these arguments, people can
use the setters for the rare cases where they want
the scrolled window to use a different adjustment.
This kind of transient state sets the expectative that events update
devices, while it's more accurate to say that devices generate events.
It does not make to expose this function anymore.
Crossing events are now detached from widget state, all tricky consequences
from getting multiple crossing events are now somewhat moot. Resort to sending
all generated crossing events, and drop this barely (ever?) used API.
This is a list model holding strings, initialized
from a char **. String lists are buildable as well,
and that replaces the buildable support in GktDropDowns.
Scroll events can have history too, so make a
getter that works for both. This drops the
gdk_scroll_event_get_history getter that was
added a few commits earlier, since we now
store scroll history in the same way as
motion history.
Update the docs, and all callers.
This is a selection model that stores the selection
state in a boolean property of the items, and thus
persists across reordering and similar changes.
Fixes: #2826
It feels slightly wrong to have GtkOrientable operate on widgets, but at
least what happens when an orientable widget changes orientation should
be part of GtkWidget.
This will allow to add more state changes without accessing widget state
from the outside of gtkwidget.c.
Rename the show-separators property to show-row-separators,
and add a matching show-column-separators property. It is
implemented by setting the .column-separators style class
on the column view.
This is a somewhat large commit that:
- Adds GtkColumnViewSorter
This is a special-purpose, private sorter implementation which sorts
according to multiple sorters, allowing each individual sorter to be
inverted. This will be used with clickable column view headers.
- Adds a read-only GtkColumnView::sorter property
The GtkColumnView creates a GtkColumnViewSorter at startup that it uses
for this property.
- Adds a writable GtkColumnViewColumn::sorter property
This allows defining per-column sorters. Whenever an application sets a
sorter for a column, the header becomes clickable and whenever
a header is clicked, that column's sorter is prepended to the list of
sorters, unless it is already the first sorter, in which case we invert
its order. No column can be in the list more than once.
This uses a custom GtkColumnViewTitle widget. So far that widget is
pretty boring, but that will change once we added
resizing, reordering, dnd, sorting, hiding/showing of columns or
whatever UIs we want.
The ColumnView now allocates column widths first and then the individual
rows use the new layout manager which looks at the column allocations to
allocate their children.
It's a GtkListItemWidget subclass that tracks the column it belongs to
and allows the column to track it.
We also use this subclass to implement sizing support so columns share
the same size and get resized in sync.
This splits GtkListItem into 2 parts:
1. GtkListItem
This is purely a GObject with public API for developers who want to
populate lists. There is no chance to cause conflict with GtkWidget
properties that the list implementation assumed control over and
defines a clear boundary.
2. GtkListItemWidget
The widget part of the listitem. This is not only fully in control of
the list machinery, the machinery can also use different widget
implementations for different list widgets like I inted to for
GtkColumnView.
This reverts commit 6a164ab306dad9096bde736c907494c71086d3c4.
The function was awkward and we now have only one caller again, so we
can fold it back into it.
This is a container widget that takes over all the duties of tree
expanding and collapsing.
It has to be a container so it can capture keybindings while focus is
inside the listitem.
So far, this widget does not allow interacting with it, but it shows the
expander arrow in its correct state.
Also, testlistview uses this widget now instead of implementing
expanding itself.
Due to the many different ways to set factories, it makes sense to
expose them as custom objects.
This makes the actual APIs for the list widgets simpler, because they
can just have a regular "factory" property.
As a convenience function, gtk_list_view_new_with_factory() was added
to make this whole approach easy to use from C.
Also refactor the whole list item management yet again.
Now, list item APIs doesn't have bind/unbind functions anymore, but only
property setters.
The item factory is the only one doing the binding.
As before, the item manager manages when items need to be bound.
It's all stubs for now, but here's the basic ideas about what
this object is supposed to do:
(1) It's supposed to be handling all the child GtkWidgets that are
used by the listview, so that the listview can concern
itself with how many items it needs and where to put them.
(2) It's meant to do the caching of widgets that are not (currently)
used.
(3) It's meant to track items that remain in the model across
items-changed emissions and just change position.
(2) It's code that can be shared between listview and potential
other widgets like a GridView.
It's also free to assume that the number of items it's supposed to
manage doesn't grow too much, so it's free to use O(N) algorithms.
Thisis the abstraction I intend to use for creating widgets and binding
them to the item out of the listview.
For now this is a very dumb wrapper around the functions that exist in
the API.
But it leaves the freedom to turn this into public API, make an
interface out of it and most of all write different implementations, in
particular one that uses GtkBuilder.
This is an enum that we're gonna use soon and it's worth introducing as a
separate commit.
The intention is to have meaningful names for return values in
comparison functions.
Users provide a search filter and an expression that evaluates the items
to a string and then the filter goes and matches those strings to the
search term.
GtkExpressions allow looking up values from objects.
There are a few simple expressions, but the main one is the closure
expression that just calls a user-provided closure.
Without a way to create events, there is no point
in allowing gdk_display_put_event to be used from
the outside. And little good can come out of using
the other apis, so just make them all private.
With this, the expand_content_files list has been
completely converted to markdown files. Whats left
in content_files is man pages, and a few special
cases.
Arrange for files named section-foo.md to be turned
into docbook sections, while others get turned into
chapters. This is necessary to allow including such
content in chapters, since chapters in docbook don't
nest.
As part of the conversion, give up on including
sources files from the examples directory, and
instead include the content directly. All include
mechanisms add complications. They were already
complicated with xml, and markdown is not making
things easier.
We already did that for fragments, and if you
make changes to these example sources, you
probably need to revise the surrounding text
anyway.
Use pandoc to convert freestanding markdown files to docbook for
inclusion in the generated docs, and use bits and pieces of
gtk-doc code to continue expanding typical gtk-doc abbreviations.
The new tool for markdown -> docbook is a python script called
gtk-markdown-to-docbook.
The markdown dialect is specified via a list of pandoc extension
in gtk-markdown-to-docbook. It includes header annocations,
definition lists and tables, among other things.
This commit converts the 3 overview chapters (drawing, input
handling and actions) and the migration guide to markdown
syntax. Other files that are still listed in content_files
can be converted later.
This commit adds a pandoc dependency.
Drop apis and code related to appmenus from
both GtkApplication and GtkApplicationWindow.
We still keep the menubar support, since it
is needed for system integration on OS X.
Fixes: #2731
We are using floating point for coordinates
everywhere now, so be consistent here.
This commit also changes the implementation of
gtk_fixed_get_child_position to work with
non-translation child transforms.
Nested main loops are bad, as they introduce layers of complexity caused
by the potential re-entrancy in the case of multiple event sources, like
IPC, threads, etc. Additionally, the programming model they provide—stop
the world while spinning a new loop—does not conform to the event-driven
model employed by GTK.

This commit is porting GtkPaned to be derived
from GtkWidget instead of GtkContainer, while adding
start-child and end-child properties. The existing
properties are renamed to follow the start/end naming
scheme, and we add proper getters and setters.
Update all users.
See #2719
Redo this series of examples from 2013, and adapt it to modern
way of doing things. The biggest differences are that we use
a headerbar right from the start, and don't mention the app
menu.
Fixes: #2730
Add back a property that determines whether an individual
widget will accept focus or not. :can-focus prevents the
focus from ever entering the entire widget hierarchy
below a widget, and :focusable just determines if grabbing
the focus to the widget itself will succeed.
See #2686
Use window title, or custom title widget if it's set. Remove 'title'
property.
Update demos and tests to set the title on the window instead of
headerbar.
This gives us a hook to walk the widget tree whenever a global
setting changes and do per-widget invalidations. This will
replace gtk_style_context_reset_widgets().
This was only living in gtkcontainer.c for historic
reasons. Move it closer to where it belongs, and
rename it from 'idle' to 'layout', since it is
really about the layout phase of the frame clock,
nowadays.
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

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.
