Notify listeners that the model is about to be changed, which means that multiple row additions / changes / removals will follow. The default implementation of this method will emit the ::changeset-started signal.
It is not stricly necessary to enclose every change to a model in a dee_model_begin_changeset() and dee_model_end_changeset() calls, but doing so is highly recommended and allows implementing various optimizations.
The usual way to perform multiple changes to a model is as follows:
dee_model_begin_changeset (model);
dee_model_remove (model, dee_model_get_first_iter (model)); dee_model_append_row (model, added_row_data1); dee_model_append_row (model, added_row_data2);
dee_model_end_changeset (model); }
Creates a binding between source_property
on source
and target_property
on target
.
Whenever the source_property
is changed the target_property
is
updated using the same value. For instance:
g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.
If flags
contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual:
if target_property
on target
changes then the source_property
on source
will be updated as well.
The binding will automatically be removed when either the source
or the
target
instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the
source
and the target
you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned
#GBinding instance.
Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if
the binding, source
and target
are only used from a single thread and it
is clear that both source
and target
outlive the binding. Especially it
is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source
or target
can be
finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and
use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

Build an externalized form of self
which can be used together with
dee_serializable_parse_external() to rebuild a copy of self

It is important to note that the variant returned from this method does not have the same type signature as returned from a call to dee_serializable_serialize(). Externalization will wrap the serialized data in a container format with versioning information and headers with type information.

This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on object
. If the freeze count is
non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object
is
stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased
to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one
#GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the
object is frozen.
This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name

When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec

.
This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().
One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:
enum
{
PROP_0,
PROP_FOO,
PROP_LAST
};
static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];
static void
my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
{
properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
0, 100,
50,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
PROP_FOO,
properties[PROP_FOO]);
}
and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:
g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object
.

Increase the reference count of object,
and possibly remove the
[floating][floating-ref] reference, if object
has a floating reference.
In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.
Since GLib 2.56, the type of object
will be propagated to the return type
under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().
Register a new tag on a #DeeModel. A
Tags can be very useful in associating some extra data to a row in a model and have that automatically synced when the model changes. If you're writing a tiled view for a model you might want to tag each row with the tile widget for that row. That way you have very convenient access to the tile widget given any row in the model.
The private nature of tags and the fact that you can store arbitrary pointers and binary data in them also means that they are not serialized if you utilize a model implementation that exposes the #DeeSerializable interface.
Function called when a tagged row is removed from the model. This function will also be called on all tagged rows when the model is finalized.
Register schema for fields in a model containing column with variant dictionary schema ('a{sv}'). The keys registered with this function can be later used with dee_model_build_named_row() function, as well as dee_model_get_value_by_name(). Note that it is possible to register the same field name for multiple columns, in which case you need to use fully-qualified "column_name::field" name in the calls to dee_model_build_named_row() and dee_model_get_field_schema().

Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Internally, the key
is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string().
This means a copy of key
is kept permanently (even after object
has been
finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values
for key
in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

name of the key
This function gets back user data pointers stored via
g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data
from object
without invoking its destroy() function (if any was
set).
Usually, calling this function is only required to update
user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
const gchar *new_string)
{
// the quark, naming the object data
GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
// retrieve the old string list
GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
// prepend new string
list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
// this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
GList *node, *list = data;
for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
g_free (node->data);
g_list_free (list);
}
Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().
A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer
Reverts the effect of a previous call to
g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object
and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.
It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Decreases the reference count of object
. When its reference count
drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

This function essentially limits the life time of the closure
to
the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized,
the closure
is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on
it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized
(nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are
added as marshal guards to the closure,
to ensure that an extra
reference count is held on object
during invocation of the
closure
. Usually, this function will be called on closures that
