Detailed Description

A Gdk::Drop holds information about a drag in progress.

It is used on the destination side.

Since gtkmm 3.94:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gdk::Drop::Drop ( Drop&&  src)
noexcept
Gdk::Drop::~Drop ( )
overridenoexcept

Member Function Documentation

void Gdk::Drop::failed ( )

Ends the drag operation and indicates that the operation failed.

Alternatively, call finish() to indicate which drag action was performed.

void Gdk::Drop::finish ( DragAction  action)

Ends the drag operation after a drop.

The action must be a single action selected from the actions available via [method Gdk.Drop.get_actions].

Parameters
actionThe action performed by the destination or 0 if the drop failed.
DragAction Gdk::Drop::get_actions ( ) const

Returns the possible actions for this GdkDrop.

If this value contains multiple actions - i.e. [func Gdk.DragAction.is_unique] returns false for the result - [method Gdk.Drop.finish] must choose the action to use when accepting the drop. This will only happen if you passed Gdk::DragAction::ASK as one of the possible actions in [method Gdk.Drop.status]. Gdk::DragAction::ASK itself will not be included in the actions returned by this function.

This value may change over the lifetime of the [class Gdk.Drop] both as a response to source side actions as well as to calls to [method Gdk.Drop.status] or [method Gdk.Drop.finish]. The source side will not change this value anymore once a drop has started.

Returns
The possible GdkDragActions.
Glib::RefPtr<Device> Gdk::Drop::get_device ( )

Returns the GdkDevice performing the drop.

Returns
The GdkDevice performing the drop.
Glib::RefPtr<const Device> Gdk::Drop::get_device ( ) const

Returns the GdkDevice performing the drop.

Returns
The GdkDevice performing the drop.
Glib::RefPtr<Display> Gdk::Drop::get_display ( )

Gets the GdkDisplay that self was created for.

Returns
A GdkDisplay.
Glib::RefPtr<const Display> Gdk::Drop::get_display ( ) const

Gets the GdkDisplay that self was created for.

Returns
A GdkDisplay.
Glib::RefPtr<Drag> Gdk::Drop::get_drag ( )

If this is an in-app drag-and-drop operation, returns the GdkDrag that corresponds to this drop.

If it is not, nullptr is returned.

Returns
The corresponding GdkDrag.
Glib::RefPtr<const Drag> Gdk::Drop::get_drag ( ) const

If this is an in-app drag-and-drop operation, returns the GdkDrag that corresponds to this drop.

If it is not, nullptr is returned.

Returns
The corresponding GdkDrag.
Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> Gdk::Drop::get_formats ( )

Returns the GdkContentFormats that the drop offers the data to be read in.

Returns
The possible GdkContentFormats.
Glib::RefPtr<const ContentFormats> Gdk::Drop::get_formats ( ) const

Returns the GdkContentFormats that the drop offers the data to be read in.

Returns
The possible GdkContentFormats.
Glib::RefPtr<Surface> Gdk::Drop::get_surface ( )

Returns the GdkSurface performing the drop.

Returns
The GdkSurface performing the drop.
Glib::RefPtr<const Surface> Gdk::Drop::get_surface ( ) const

Returns the GdkSurface performing the drop.

Returns
The GdkSurface performing the drop.
static GType Gdk::Drop::get_type ( )
static

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

GdkDrop* Gdk::Drop::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GdkDrop* Gdk::Drop::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GdkDrop* Gdk::Drop::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Drop& Gdk::Drop::operator= ( Drop&&  src)
noexcept
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< DragAction > Gdk::Drop::property_actions ( ) const

The possible actions for this drop.

Default value: Gdk::DragAction::COPY | Gdk::DragAction::MOVE | Gdk::DragAction::LINK

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Device> > Gdk::Drop::property_device ( ) const

The GdkDevice performing the drop.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Display> > Gdk::Drop::property_display ( ) const

The GdkDisplay that the drop belongs to.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Drag> > Gdk::Drop::property_drag ( ) const

The GdkDrag that initiated this drop.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<ContentFormats> > Gdk::Drop::property_formats ( ) const

The possible formats that the drop can provide its data in.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Surface> > Gdk::Drop::property_surface ( ) const

The GdkSurface the drop happens on.

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
void Gdk::Drop::read_async ( const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &  mime_types,
int  io_priority,
const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Asynchronously read the dropped data from a GdkDrop in a format that complies with one of the mime types.

Parameters
mime_typesPointer to an array of mime types.
io_priorityThe I/O priority for the read operation.
cancellableOptional GCancellable object.
slotA SlotGAsyncReady to call when the request is satisfied.
void Gdk::Drop::read_async ( const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &  mime_types,
int  io_priority,
const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &  slot 
)

A read_async() convenience overload.

Glib::RefPtr<Gio::InputStream> Gdk::Drop::read_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > &  result,
Glib::ustring &  out_mime_type 
)

Finishes an async drop read operation.

Note that you must not use blocking read calls on the returned stream in the GTK thread, since some platforms might require communication with GTK to complete the data transfer. You can use async APIs such as Glib::input_stream_read_bytes_async().

See [method Gdk.Drop.read_async].

Parameters
resultA GAsyncResult.
out_mime_typeReturn location for the used mime type.
Returns
The GInputStream.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
void Gdk::Drop::read_value_async ( GType  type,
int  io_priority,
const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::Cancellable > &  cancellable 
)

Asynchronously request the drag operation's contents converted to the given type.

When the operation is finished slot will be called. You must then call [method Gdk.Drop.read_value_finish] to get the resulting GValue.

For local drag-and-drop operations that are available in the given GType, the value will be copied directly. Otherwise, GDK will try to use [func Gdk.content_deserialize_async] to convert the data.

Parameters
typeA GType to read.
io_priorityThe I/O priority of the request.
cancellableOptional GCancellable object, nullptr to ignore.
slotCallback to call when the request is satisfied.
void Gdk::Drop::read_value_async ( GType  type,
int  io_priority,
const Gio::SlotAsyncReady &  slot 
)

A read_value_async() convenience overload.

Glib::ValueBase Gdk::Drop::read_value_finish ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AsyncResult > &  result)

Finishes an async drop read.

See [method Gdk.Drop.read_value_async].

Parameters
resultA GAsyncResult.
Returns
A GValue containing the result.
void Gdk::Drop::refuse ( )

Indicates that a drop will not be accepted.

This function may be called by the drag destination in response to Gdk::Event::Type::DRAG_ENTER or Gdk::Event::Type::DRAG_MOTION events. Alternatively, call status() to indicate which drag actions will be accepted.

void Gdk::Drop::status ( DragAction  actions,
DragAction  preferred 
)

Selects all actions that are potentially supported by the destination.

When calling this function, do not restrict the passed in actions to the ones provided by [method Gdk.Drop.get_actions]. Those actions may change in the future, even depending on the actions you provide here.

The preferred action is a hint to the drag-and-drop mechanism about which action to use when multiple actions are possible.

This function should be called by drag destinations in response to Gdk::Event::Type::DRAG_ENTER or Gdk::Event::Type::DRAG_MOTION events. If the destination does not yet know the exact actions it supports, it should set any possible actions first and then later call this function again.

Parameters
actionsSupported actions of the destination, or 0 to indicate that a drop will not be accepted.
preferredA unique action that's a member of actions indicating the preferred action.
