Detailed Description

This object stores styling information affecting a widget defined by WidgetPath.

In order to construct the final style information, StyleContext queries information from all attached StyleProviders. Style providers can be either attached explicitly to the context through add_provider(), or to the display through add_provider_for_display(). The resulting style is a combination of all providers' information in priority order.

For GTK+ widgets, any StyleContext returned by Widget::get_style_context() will already have a WidgetPath, a Gdk::Display and RTL/LTR information set, The style context will be also updated automatically if any of these settings change on the widget.

Transition animations

StyleContext has built-in support for state change transitions. Note that these animations respect the Settings::property_gtk_enable_animations() setting.

For simple widgets where state changes affect the whole widget area, calling notify_state_change() with a no region is sufficient to trigger the transition animation. And GTK+ already does that when Widget::set_state() or Widget::set_state_flags() are called.

If a widget needs to declare several animatable regions (i.e. not affecting the whole widget area), its Widget::signal_draw() signal handler needs to wrap the render operations for the different regions with calls to push_animatable_region() and pop_animatable_region(). These methods take an identifier for the region which must be unique within the style context. For simple widgets with a fixed set of animatable regions, using an enumeration works well.

For complex widgets with an arbitrary number of animatable regions, it is up to the implementation to come up with a way to uniquely identify each animatable region. Using pointers to internal objects is one way to achieve this.

The widget also needs to notify the style context about a state change for a given animatable region so the animation is triggered. notify_state_change() can take no region IDs, meaning that the whole widget area will be updated by the animation.

Since gtkmm 3.0:
Deprecated:
4.10: The relevant API has been moved to Gtk::Widget and Gtk::StyleProvider where applicable; otherwise, there is no replacement for querying the style machinery. Stylable UI elements should use widgets.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_class()

void Gtk::StyleContext::add_class ( const Glib::ustring &  class_name)

Adds a style class to context, so later uses of the style context will make use of this new class for styling.

In the CSS file format, a Gtk::Entry defining a “search” class, would be matched by:

[C example ellipted]

While any widget defining a “search” class would be matched by:

[C example ellipted] Deprecated: 4.10: Use Gtk::Widget::add_css_class() instead

Deprecated:
Use Gtk::Widget::add_css_class() instead.
Parameters
class_nameClass name to use in styling.

◆ add_provider()

void Gtk::StyleContext::add_provider ( const Glib::RefPtr< StyleProvider > &  provider,
guint  priority 
)

Adds a style provider to context, to be used in style construction.

Note that a style provider added by this function only affects the style of the widget to which context belongs. If you want to affect the style of all widgets, use add_provider_for_display().

Note
If both priorities are the same, a Gtk::StyleProvider added through this function takes precedence over another added through add_provider_for_display().

Deprecated: 4.10: Use style classes instead

Parameters
providerA Gtk::StyleProvider.
priorityThe priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK and GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER.

◆ add_provider_for_display()

static void Gtk::StyleContext::add_provider_for_display ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Display > &  display,
const Glib::RefPtr< StyleProvider > &  provider,
guint  priority 
)
static

Adds a global style provider to display, which will be used in style construction for all Gtk::StyleContexts under display.

GTK uses this to make styling information from Gtk::Settings available.

Note
If both priorities are the same, A Gtk::StyleProvider added through add_provider() takes precedence over another added through this function.
Deprecated:
Use Gtk::StyleProvider::add_provider_for_display() instead.
Parameters
displayA Gdk::Display.
providerA Gtk::StyleProvider.
priorityThe priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK and GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER.

◆ context_restore()

void Gtk::StyleContext::context_restore ( )

Restores context state to a previous stage.

See save().

void Gtk::StyleContext::context_save ( )

Saves the context state.

This allows temporary modifications done through add_class(), remove_class(), set_state() to be quickly reverted in one go through restore().

The matching call to restore() must be done before GTK returns to the main loop.

Deprecated: 4.10: This API will be removed in GTK 5
