◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkDevice * Gdk::Device::gobj ( )
inline

inline

◆ grab() [1/2]

GrabStatus Gdk::Device::grab ( const Glib::RefPtr< Window > &  window,
GrabOwnership  grab_ownership,
bool  owner_events,
EventMask  event_mask,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cursor > &  cursor,
guint32  time_ 
)

Grabs the device so that all events coming from this device are passed to this application until the device is ungrabbed with ungrab(), or the window becomes unviewable.

This overrides any previous grab on the device by this client.

Note that device and window need to be on the same display.

Device grabs are used for operations which need complete control over the given device events (either pointer or keyboard). For example in GTK+ this is used for Drag and Drop operations, popup menus and such.

Note that if the event mask of an X window has selected both button press and button release events, then a button press event will cause an automatic pointer grab until the button is released. X does this automatically since most applications expect to receive button press and release events in pairs. It is equivalent to a pointer grab on the window with owner_events set to true.

If you set up anything at the time you take the grab that needs to be cleaned up when the grab ends, you should handle the Gdk::EventGrabBroken events that are emitted when the grab ends unvoluntarily.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Deprecated: 3.20. Use Gdk::Seat::grab() instead.

Deprecated:
Use Gdk::Seat::grab() instead.
Parameters
windowThe Gdk::Window which will own the grab (the grab window).
grab_ownershipSpecifies the grab ownership.
owner_eventsIf false then all device events are reported with respect to window and are only reported if selected by event_mask. If true then pointer events for this application are reported as normal, but pointer events outside this application are reported with respect to window and only if selected by event_mask. In either mode, unreported events are discarded.
event_maskSpecifies the event mask, which is used in accordance with owner_events.
cursorThe cursor to display while the grab is active if the device is a pointer. If this is nullptr then the normal cursors are used for window and its descendants, and the cursor for window is used elsewhere.
timeThe timestamp of the event which led to this pointer grab. This usually comes from the Gdk::Event struct, though GDK_CURRENT_TIME can be used if the time isn’t known.
Returns
Gdk::GRAB_SUCCESS if the grab was successful.

◆ grab() [2/2]

GrabStatus Gdk::Device::grab ( const Glib::RefPtr< Window > &  window,
GrabOwnership  grab_ownership,
bool  owner_events,

◆ set_axis_use()

void Gdk::Device::set_axis_use ( guint  index_,

indexThe index of the axis.
useSpecifies how the axis is used.

◆ set_key()

void Gdk::Device::set_key ( guint  index_,
guint  keyval,

keyvalThe keyval to generate.
modifiersThe modifiers to set.

◆ set_mode()

bool Gdk::Device::set_mode ( InputMode  mode)

Sets a the mode of an input device.

The mode controls if the device is active and whether the device’s range is mapped to the entire screen or to a single window.

Note
This is only meaningful for floating devices, master devices (and slaves connected to these) drive the pointer cursor, which is not limited by the input mode.
Parameters
modeThe input mode.
Returns
true if the mode was successfully changed.

◆ signal_changed()

Glib::SignalProxy< void > Gdk::Device::signal_changed ( )
Slot Prototype:
void on_my_changed()

Flags: Run Last

The signal_changed() signal is emitted either when the Gdk::Device has changed the number of either axes or keys. For example In X this will normally happen when the slave device routing events through the master device changes (for example, user switches from the USB mouse to a tablet), in that case the master device will change to reflect the new slave device axes and keys.

Since gtkmm 3.22:

◆ ungrab()

void Gdk::Device::ungrab ( guint32  time_)

Release any grab on device.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Deprecated: 3.20. Use Gdk::Seat::ungrab() instead.

Deprecated:
Use Gdk::Seat::ungrab() instead.
Parameters
timeA timestap (e.g. GDK_CURRENT_TIME).

◆ warp()

void Gdk::Device::warp ( const Glib::RefPtr< Screen > &  screen,
int  x,
int  y 
)

Warps device in display to the point x, y on the screen screen, unless the device is confined to a window by a grab, in which case it will be moved as far as allowed by the grab.

Warping the pointer creates events as if the user had moved the mouse instantaneously to the destination.

Note that the pointer should normally be under the control of the user. This function was added to cover some rare use cases like keyboard navigation support for the color picker in the Gtk::ColorSelectionDialog.

Since gtkmm 3.0:
Parameters
screenThe screen to warp device to.
xThe X coordinate of the destination.
yThe Y coordinate of the destination.
