Detailed Description

Interface for toplevel surfaces.

A Gdk::Toplevel is a freestanding toplevel surface.

The Gdk::Toplevel interface provides useful APIs for interacting with the windowing system, such as controlling maximization and size of the surface, setting icons and transient parents for dialogs.

static

◆ begin_move()

void Gdk::Toplevel::begin_move	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Device > &	device,
		int	button,
		double	x,
		double	y,
		guint32	timestamp
	)

Begins an interactive move operation.

You might use this function to implement draggable titlebars.

Parameters

device	The device used for the operation.
button	The button being used to drag, or 0 for a keyboard-initiated drag.
x	Surface X coordinate of mouse click that began the drag.
y	Surface Y coordinate of mouse click that began the drag.
timestamp	Timestamp of mouse click that began the drag (use Gdk::Event::get_time()).

◆ begin_resize()

void Gdk::Toplevel::begin_resize	(	SurfaceEdge	edge,
		const Glib::RefPtr< Device > &	device,
		int	button,
		double	x,
		double	y,
		guint32	timestamp
	)

Begins an interactive resize operation.

You might use this function to implement a “window resize grip.”

Parameters

edge	The edge or corner from which the drag is started.
device	The device used for the operation.
button	The button being used to drag, or 0 for a keyboard-initiated drag.
x	Surface X coordinate of mouse click that began the drag.
y	Surface Y coordinate of mouse click that began the drag.
timestamp	Timestamp of mouse click that began the drag (use Gdk::Event::get_time()).

◆ focus()

void Gdk::Toplevel::focus ( guint32 timestamp )

Sets keyboard focus to surface.

In most cases, gtk_window_present_with_time() should be used on a GtkWindow, rather than calling this function.

Parameters

timestamp Timestamp of the event triggering the surface focus.

◆ get_state()

State Gdk::Toplevel::get_state ( ) const

Gets the bitwise or of the currently active surface state flags, from the Gdk::Toplevel::State enumeration.

Returns: Surface state bitfield.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gdk::Toplevel::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkToplevel * Gdk::Toplevel::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GdkToplevel * Gdk::Toplevel::gobj ( ) const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ inhibit_system_shortcuts()

void Gdk::Toplevel::inhibit_system_shortcuts ( const Glib::RefPtr< Event > & event )

Requests that the toplevel inhibit the system shortcuts.

This is asking the desktop environment/windowing system to let all keyboard events reach the surface, as long as it is focused, instead of triggering system actions.

If granted, the rerouting remains active until the default shortcuts processing is restored with restore_system_shortcuts(), or the request is revoked by the desktop environment, windowing system or the user.

A typical use case for this API is remote desktop or virtual machine viewers which need to inhibit the default system keyboard shortcuts so that the remote session or virtual host gets those instead of the local environment.

The windowing system or desktop environment may ask the user to grant or deny the request or even choose to ignore the request entirely.

The caller can be notified whenever the request is granted or revoked by listening to the property_shortcuts_inhibited() property.

Parameters

event The Gdk::Event that is triggering the inhibit request, or nullptr if none is available.

◆ lower()

bool Gdk::Toplevel::lower ( )

Asks to lower the toplevel below other windows.

The windowing system may choose to ignore the request.

Returns: true if the surface was lowered.

◆ minimize()

bool Gdk::Toplevel::minimize ( )

Asks to minimize the toplevel.

The windowing system may choose to ignore the request.

Returns: true if the surface was minimized.

◆ operator=()

Toplevel & Gdk::Toplevel::operator= ( Toplevel && src )

noexcept

◆ present()

void Gdk::Toplevel::present ( const Glib::RefPtr< ToplevelLayout > & layout )

Present toplevel after having processed the Gdk::ToplevelLayout rules.

If the toplevel was previously not showing, it will be showed, otherwise it will change layout according to layout.

GDK may emit the signal_compute_size() signal to let the user of this toplevel compute the preferred size of the toplevel surface.

Presenting is asynchronous and the specified layout parameters are not guaranteed to be respected.

Parameters

layout The Gdk::ToplevelLayout object used to layout.

Sets the toplevel to be decorated.

Setting decorated to false hints the desktop environment that the surface has its own, client-side decorations and does not need to have window decorations added.

Parameters

decorated true to request decorations.

◆ set_deletable()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_deletable ( bool deletable = true )

deletable true to request a delete button.

◆ set_icon_list()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_icon_list ( const std::vector< Glib::RefPtr< Texture > > & surfaces )

Sets a list of icons for the surface.

One of these will be used to represent the surface in iconic form. The icon may be shown in window lists or task bars. Which icon size is shown depends on the window manager. The window manager can scale the icon but setting several size icons can give better image quality.

Note that some platforms don't support surface icons.

Parameters

surfaces A list of textures to use as icon, of different sizes.

◆ set_modal()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_modal ( bool modal = true )

Sets the toplevel to be modal.

The application can use this hint to tell the window manager that a certain surface has modal behaviour. The window manager can use this information to handle modal surfaces in a special way.

You should only use this on surfaces for which you have previously called set_transient_for().

Parameters

modal true if the surface is modal, false otherwise.

◆ set_startup_id()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_startup_id ( const Glib::ustring & startup_id )

Sets the startup notification ID.

When using GTK, typically you should use gtk_window_set_startup_id() instead of this low-level function.

Parameters

startup_id A string with startup-notification identifier.

◆ set_title()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_title ( const Glib::ustring & title )

Sets the title of a toplevel surface.

The title maybe be displayed in the titlebar, in lists of windows, etc.

Parameters

title Title of surface.

◆ set_transient_for()

void Gdk::Toplevel::set_transient_for ( const Glib::RefPtr< Surface > & parent )

Sets a transient-for parent.

Indicates to the window manager that surface is a transient dialog associated with the application surface parent. This allows the window manager to do things like center surface on parent and keep surface above parent.

See gtk_window_set_transient_for() if you’re using GtkWindow.

Parameters

parent Another toplevel Gdk::Surface.

◆ show_window_menu()

bool Gdk::Toplevel::show_window_menu ( const Glib::RefPtr< Event > & event )

Asks the windowing system to show the window menu.

The window menu is the menu shown when right-clicking the titlebar on traditional windows managed by the window manager. This is useful for windows using client-side decorations, activating it with a right-click on the window decorations.

Parameters

event A Gdk::Event to show the menu for.

Returns: true if the window menu was shown and false otherwise.

◆ signal_compute_size()

Glib::SignalProxy< void(ToplevelSize &)> Gdk::Toplevel::signal_compute_size ( )

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_compute_size(ToplevelSize& size)

Flags: Run Last

Emitted when the size for the surface needs to be computed, when it is present.

This signal will normally be emitted during or after a call to Gdk::Toplevel::present(), depending on the configuration received by the windowing system. It may also be emitted at any other point in time, in response to the windowing system spontaneously changing the configuration of the toplevel surface.

It is the responsibility of the toplevel user to handle this signal and compute the desired size of the toplevel, given the information passed via the Gdk::ToplevelSize object. Failing to do so will result in an arbitrary size being used as a result.

Parameters

size	A `Gdk::ToplevelSize`.

◆ supports_edge_constraints()

bool Gdk::Toplevel::supports_edge_constraints ( ) const

Returns whether the desktop environment supports tiled window states.

Returns: true if the desktop environment supports tiled window states.
