GI.Gdk.Interfaces.Toplevel

A GdkToplevel is a freestanding toplevel surface.

The GdkToplevel 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.

beginMove

toplevelBeginMove

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsDevice b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> b

device: the device used for the operation

-> Int32

button: the button being used to drag, or 0 for a keyboard-initiated drag

-> Double

x: surface X coordinate of mouse click that began the drag

-> Double

y: surface Y coordinate of mouse click that began the drag

-> Word32

timestamp: timestamp of mouse click that began the drag (use eventGetTime)

-> m ()

Begins an interactive move operation.

You might use this function to implement draggable titlebars.

beginResize

toplevelBeginResize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsDevice b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> SurfaceEdge

edge: the edge or corner from which the drag is started

-> Maybe b

device: the device used for the operation

-> Int32

button: the button being used to drag, or 0 for a keyboard-initiated drag

-> Double

x: surface X coordinate of mouse click that began the drag

-> Double

y: surface Y coordinate of mouse click that began the drag

-> Word32

timestamp: timestamp of mouse click that began the drag (use eventGetTime)

-> m ()

Begins an interactive resize operation.

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

focus

toplevelFocus

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Word32

timestamp: timestamp of the event triggering the surface focus

-> m ()

Sets keyboard focus to surface.

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

getState

toplevelGetState

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> m [ToplevelState]

Returns: surface state bitfield

Gets the bitwise or of the currently active surface state flags, from the GdkToplevelState enumeration.

inhibitSystemShortcuts

toplevelInhibitSystemShortcuts

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsEvent b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Maybe b

event: the GdkEvent that is triggering the inhibit request, or Nothing if none is available

-> m ()

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 toplevelRestoreSystemShortcuts, 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 Toplevel:shortcuts-inhibited property.

lower

toplevelLower

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the surface was lowered

Asks to lower the toplevel below other windows.

The windowing system may choose to ignore the request.

minimize

toplevelMinimize

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the surface was minimized

Asks to minimize the toplevel.

The windowing system may choose to ignore the request.

present

toplevelPresent

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: the GdkToplevel to show

-> ToplevelLayout

layout: the GdkToplevelLayout object used to layout

-> m ()

Present toplevel after having processed the GdkToplevelLayout rules.

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

GDK may emit the Toplevel::computeSize 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.

restoreSystemShortcuts

toplevelRestoreSystemShortcuts

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> m ()

Restore default system keyboard shortcuts which were previously inhibited.

This undoes the effect of toplevelInhibitSystemShortcuts.

setDecorated

toplevelSetDecorated

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Bool

decorated: True to request decorations

-> m ()

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.

setDeletable

toplevelSetDeletable

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Bool

deletable: True to request a delete button

-> m ()

Sets the toplevel to be deletable.

Setting deletable to True hints the desktop environment that it should offer the user a way to close the surface.

setIconList

toplevelSetIconList

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsTexture b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> [b]

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

-> m ()

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.

setModal

toplevelSetModal

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Bool

modal: True if the surface is modal, False otherwise.

-> m ()

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 toplevelSetTransientFor.

setStartupId

toplevelSetStartupId

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Text

startupId: a string with startup-notification identifier

-> m ()

Sets the startup notification ID.

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

setTitle

toplevelSetTitle

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> Text

title: title of surface

-> m ()

Sets the title of a toplevel surface.

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

setTransientFor

toplevelSetTransientFor

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsSurface b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> b

parent: another toplevel GdkSurface

-> m ()

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.

showWindowMenu

toplevelShowWindowMenu

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a, IsEvent b)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> b

event: a GdkEvent to show the menu for

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the window menu was shown and False otherwise.

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.

supportsEdgeConstraints

toplevelSupportsEdgeConstraints

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> m Bool

Returns: True if the desktop environment supports tiled window states

Returns whether the desktop environment supports tiled window states.

titlebarGesture

toplevelTitlebarGesture

Arguments

:: (HasCallStack, MonadIO m, IsToplevel a)

=> a

toplevel: a GdkToplevel

-> TitlebarGesture

gesture: a GdkTitlebarGesture

-> m Bool

Signals

computeSize

type ToplevelComputeSizeCallback

Arguments

 = ToplevelSize

size: a GdkToplevelSize

-> IO ()

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 toplevelPresent, 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 [structgdk.ToplevelSize] object. Failing to do so will result in an arbitrary size being used as a result.

afterToplevelComputeSize :: (IsToplevel a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => ToplevelComputeSizeCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the computeSize signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after toplevel #computeSize callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onToplevelComputeSize :: (IsToplevel a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => ToplevelComputeSizeCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the computeSize signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on toplevel #computeSize callback
