class Gtk::EventController

Overview

Gtk::EventController is the base class for event controllers.

These are ancillary objects associated to widgets, which react to Gdk::Events, and possibly trigger actions as a consequence.

Event controllers are added to a widget with Gtk::Widget#add_controller. It is rarely necessary to explicitly remove a controller with Gtk::Widget#remove_controller.

See the chapter on input handling for an overview of the basic concepts, such as the capture and bubble phases of even propagation.

def self.new #

Initialize a new EventController.

Class Method Detail

def self.g_type : UInt64 #

Returns the type id (GType) registered in GLib type system.


[View source]

Instance Method Detail

def ==(other : self) #
Description copied from class Reference

Returns true if this reference is the same as other. Invokes same?.


def current_event : Gdk::Event | Nil #

Returns the event that is currently being handled by the controller.

At other times, nil is returned.


[View source]
def current_event_device : Gdk::Device | Nil #

Returns the device of the event that is currently being handled by the controller.

At other times, nil is returned.


[View source]
def current_event_state : Gdk::ModifierType #

Returns the modifier state of the event that is currently being handled by the controller.

At other times, 0 is returned.


[View source]
def current_event_time : UInt32 #

Returns the timestamp of the event that is currently being handled by the controller.

At other times, 0 is returned.


[View source]
def hash(hasher) #
Description copied from class Reference

See Object#hash(hasher)


def name : String | Nil #

Gets the name of controller.


[View source]
def name=(value : String) : String #

[View source]
def name=(name : String | Nil) : Nil #

Sets a name on the controller that can be used for debugging.


[View source]
def propagation_limit : Gtk::PropagationLimit #

Gets the propagation limit of the event controller.


[View source]
def propagation_limit=(limit : Gtk::PropagationLimit) : Nil #

Sets the event propagation limit on the event controller.

If the limit is set to %GTK_LIMIT_SAME_NATIVE, the controller won't handle events that are targeted at widgets on a different surface, such as popovers.


[View source]
def propagation_phase : Gtk::PropagationPhase #

Gets the propagation phase at which controller handles events.


[View source]
def propagation_phase=(phase : Gtk::PropagationPhase) : Nil #

Sets the propagation phase at which a controller handles events.

If phase is %GTK_PHASE_NONE, no automatic event handling will be performed, but other additional gesture maintenance will.


[View source]
def reset : Nil #

Resets the controller to a clean state.


[View source]
def widget : Gtk::Widget #

Returns the Gtk::Widget this controller relates to.
