Member Function Documentation

static bool Gdk::Event::events_pending (  )  [static]

Checks if any events are ready to be processed for any display.

Returns:
true if any events are pending.
static Event Gdk::Event::get (  )  [static]

Checks all open displays for a Gdk::Event to process,to be processed on, fetching events from the windowing system if necessary.

See Gdk::Display::get_event().

Returns:
The next Gdk::Event to be processed, or 0 if no events are pending. The returned Gdk::Event should be freed with gdk_event_free().
bool Gdk::Event::get_axis ( AxisUse  axis_use,
double &  value 
) const

Extract the axis value for a particular axis use from an event structure.

Parameters:
axis_use The axis use to look for.
value Location to store the value found.
Returns:
true if the specified axis was found, otherwise false.
bool Gdk::Event::get_coords ( double &  x_win,
double &  y_win 
) const

Extract the event window relative x/y coordinates from an event.

Parameters:
x_win Location to put event window x coordinate.
y_win Location to put event window y coordinate.
Returns:
true if the event delivered event window coordinates.
static Event Gdk::Event::get_graphics_expose ( const Glib::RefPtr< Window >&  window  )  [static]

Waits for a GraphicsExpose or NoExpose event from the X server.

This is used in the Gtk::Text and Gtk::CList widgets in GTK+ to make sure any GraphicsExpose events are handled before the widget is scrolled.

Deprecated: 2.18:

Parameters:
window The Gdk::Window to wait for the events for.
Returns:
A Gdk::EventExpose if a GraphicsExpose was received, or 0 if a NoExpose event was received.
bool Gdk::Event::get_root_coords ( double &  x_root,
double &  y_root 
) const

Extract the root window relative x/y coordinates from an event.

Parameters:
x_root Location to put root window x coordinate.
y_root Location to put root window y coordinate.
Returns:
true if the event delivered root window coordinates.
Glib::RefPtr<const Screen> Gdk::Event::get_screen (  )  const

Returns the screen for the event.

The screen is typically the screen for <literal>event->any.window</literal>, but for events such as mouse events, it is the screen where the pointer was when the event occurs - that is, the screen which has the root window to which <literal>event->motion.x_root</literal> and <literal>event->motion.y_root</literal> are relative.

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Returns:
The screen for the event.
Glib::RefPtr<Screen> Gdk::Event::get_screen (  ) 

Returns the screen for the event.

The screen is typically the screen for <literal>event->any.window</literal>, but for events such as mouse events, it is the screen where the pointer was when the event occurs - that is, the screen which has the root window to which <literal>event->motion.x_root</literal> and <literal>event->motion.y_root</literal> are relative.

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Returns:
The screen for the event.
static bool Gdk::Event::get_show_events (  )  [static]

Gets whether event debugging output is enabled.

Returns:
true if event debugging output is enabled.
bool Gdk::Event::get_state ( ModifierType state  )  const

If the event contains a "state" field, puts that field in state.

Otherwise stores an empty state (0). Returns true if there was a state field in the event. event may be 0, in which case it's treated as if the event had no state field.

Parameters:
state Return location for state.
Returns:
true if there was a state field in the event.
guint32 Gdk::Event::get_time (  )  const

Returns the time stamp from event, if there is one; otherwise returns Gdk::CURRENT_TIME.

If event is 0, returns Gdk::CURRENT_TIME.

Returns:
Time stamp field from event.
const GdkEvent* Gdk::Event::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GdkEvent* Gdk::Event::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GdkEvent* Gdk::Event::gobj_copy (  )  const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Event& Gdk::Event::operator= ( const Event other  ) 
static Event Gdk::Event::peek (  )  [static]

If there is an event waiting in the event queue of some open display, returns a copy of it.

See Gdk::Display::peek_event().

Returns:
A copy of the first Gdk::Event on some event queue, or 0 if no events are in any queues. The returned Gdk::Event should be freed with gdk_event_free().
void Gdk::Event::put (  ) 

Appends a copy of the given event onto the front of the event queue for event->any.window's display, or the default event queue if event->any.window is 0.

See Gdk::Display::put_event().

bool Gdk::Event::send_client_message ( const Glib::RefPtr< Display >&  display,
NativeWindow  winid 
)
bool Gdk::Event::send_client_message ( NativeWindow  winid  ) 

Sends an X ClientMessage event to a given window (which must be on the default Gdk::Display.

) This could be used for communicating between different applications, though the amount of data is limited to 20 bytes.

Parameters:
winid The window to send the X ClientMessage event to.
Returns:
Non-zero on success.
void Gdk::Event::set_screen ( const Glib::RefPtr< Screen >&  screen  ) 

Sets the screen for event to screen.

The event must have been allocated by GTK+, for instance, by gdk_event_copy().

Since gtkmm 2.2:
Parameters:
screen A Gdk::Screen.
static void Gdk::Event::set_show_events ( bool  show_events  )  [static]

Sets whether a trace of received events is output.

Note that GTK+ must be compiled with debugging (that is, configured using the <option>--enable-debug</option> option) to use this option.

Parameters:
show_events true to output event debugging information.
void Gdk::Event::swap ( Event other  ) 

Friends And Related Function Documentation

Gdk::Event wrap ( GdkEvent *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:
object The C instance.
take_copy False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
