Implemented Interfaces

GtkPopover implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

GtkPopover is a bubble-like context window, primarily meant to provide context-dependent information or options. Popovers are attached to a widget, passed at construction time on gtk_popover_new(), or updated afterwards through gtk_popover_set_relative_to(), by default they will point to the whole widget area, although this behavior can be changed through gtk_popover_set_pointing_to().

The position of a popover relative to the widget it is attached to can also be changed through gtk_popover_set_position().

By default, GtkPopover performs a GTK+ grab, in order to ensure input events get redirected to it while it is shown, and also so the popover is dismissed in the expected situations (clicks outside the popover, or the Esc key being pressed). If no such modal behavior is desired on a popover, gtk_popover_set_modal() may be called on it to tweak its behavior.

Functions

gtk_popover_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_popover_new (GtkWidget *relative_to);

Creates a new popover to point to relative_to

Parameters

relative_to

GtkWidget the popover is related to

 

Returns

a new GtkPopover

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_new_from_model ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_popover_new_from_model (GtkWidget *relative_to,
                            GMenuModel *model);

Creates a GtkPopover and populates it according to model . The popover is pointed to the relative_to widget.

The created buttons are connected to actions found in the GtkApplicationWindow to which the popover belongs - typically by means of being attached to a widget that is contained within the GtkApplicationWindows widget hierarchy.

Actions can also be added using gtk_widget_insert_action_group() on the menus attach widget or on any of its parent widgets.

Parameters

relative_to

GtkWidget the popover is related to

 

model

a GMenuModel

 

Returns

the new GtkPopover

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_set_relative_to ()

void
gtk_popover_set_relative_to (GtkPopover *popover,
                             GtkWidget *relative_to);

Sets a new widget to be attached to popover . If popover is visible, the position will be updated.

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

relative_to

a GtkWidget

 

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_get_relative_to ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_popover_get_relative_to (GtkPopover *popover);

Returns the widget popover is currently attached to

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

Returns

a GtkWidget.

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_set_pointing_to ()

void
gtk_popover_set_pointing_to (GtkPopover *popover,
                             const GdkRectangle *rect);

Sets the rectangle that popover will point to, in the coordinate space of the widget popover is attached to, see gtk_popover_set_relative_to().

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

rect

rectangle to point to

 

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_get_pointing_to ()

gboolean
gtk_popover_get_pointing_to (GtkPopover *popover,
                             GdkRectangle *rect);

If a rectangle to point to has been set, this function will return TRUE and fill in rect with such rectangle, otherwise it will return FALSE and fill in rect with the attached widget coordinates.

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

rect

location to store the rectangle.

[out]

Returns

TRUE if a rectangle to point to was set.


gtk_popover_set_position ()

void
gtk_popover_set_position (GtkPopover *popover,
                          GtkPositionType position);

Sets the preferred position for popover to appear. If the popover is currently visible, it will be immediately updated.

This preference will be respected where possible, although on lack of space (eg. if close to the window edges), the GtkPopover may choose to appear on the opposite side

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

position

preferred popover position

 

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_get_position ()

GtkPositionType
gtk_popover_get_position (GtkPopover *popover);

Returns the preferred position of popover .

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

Returns

The preferred position.


gtk_popover_set_modal ()

void
gtk_popover_set_modal (GtkPopover *popover,
                       gboolean modal);

Sets whether popover is modal, a modal popover will grab all input within the toplevel and grab the keyboard focus on it when being displayed. Clicking outside the popover area or pressing Esc will dismiss the popover and ungrab input.

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

modal

TRUE to make popover claim all input within the toplevel

 

Since 3.12


gtk_popover_get_modal ()

gboolean
gtk_popover_get_modal (GtkPopover *popover);

Returns whether the popover is modal, see gtk_popover_set_modal to see the implications of this.

Parameters

popover

a GtkPopover

 

Returns

TRUE if popover is modal

Since 3.12

Types and Values

struct GtkPopover

struct GtkPopover;
