GtkMultiSorter combines multiple sorters by trying them in turn.

If the first sorter compares two items as equal, the second is tried next, and so on.

Methods

  • Add sorter to self to use for sorting at the end.

    self will consult all existing sorters before it will sort with the given sorter.

    Parameters

    • sorter: Sorter

      a sorter to add

    Returns void

  • 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.

    A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target #GObject

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: BindingFlags

      flags to pass to #GBinding

    Returns Binding

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target #GObject

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: BindingFlags

      flags to pass to #GBinding

    • transform_to: TClosure<any, any>

      a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function from the source to the target, or %NULL to use the default

    • transform_from: TClosure<any, any>

      a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function from the target to the source, or %NULL to use the default

    Returns Binding

  • Notifies all users of the sorter that it has changed.

    This emits the [signalGtk.Sorter::changed] signal. Users of the sorter should then update the sort order via [methodGtk.Sorter.compare].

    Depending on the change parameter, it may be possible to update the sort order without a full resorting. Refer to the [enumGtk.SorterChange] documentation for details.

    This function is intended for implementors of GtkSorter subclasses and should not be called from other functions.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Compares two given items according to the sort order implemented by the sorter.

    Sorters implement a partial order:

    • It is reflexive, ie a = a
    • It is antisymmetric, ie if a < b and b < a, then a = b
    • It is transitive, ie given any 3 items with a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c

    The sorter may signal it conforms to additional constraints via the return value of [methodGtk.Sorter.get_order].

    Parameters

    Returns Ordering

  • connect(sigName: string, callback: ((...args: any[]) => void)): number
  • connect_after(sigName: string, callback: ((...args: any[]) => void)): number
  • disconnect(id: number): void
  • emit(sigName: string, ...args: any[]): void
  • force_floating(): void
  • 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().

    Returns void

  • freeze_notify(): void
  • 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.

    Returns void

  • get_buildable_id(): string
  • Gets the ID of the buildable object.

    GtkBuilder sets the name based on the ID attribute of the tag used to construct the buildable.

    Returns string

    • get_data(key?: string): object
    • Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).

      Parameters

      • Optional key: string

        name of the key for that association

      Returns object

    • Get the item at position.

      If position is greater than the number of items in list, %NULL is returned.

      %NULL is never returned for an index that is smaller than the length of the list.

      This function is meant to be used by language bindings in place of g_list_model_get_item().

      See also: g_list_model_get_n_items()

      Parameters

      • position: number

        the position of the item to fetch

      Returns GObject.Object

    • get_item_type(): GType<unknown>
    • Gets the type of the items in list.

      All items returned from g_list_model_get_item() are of the type returned by this function, or a subtype, or if the type is an interface, they are an implementation of that interface.

      The item type of a #GListModel can not change during the life of the model.

      Returns GType<unknown>

    • get_n_items(): number
    • Gets the number of items in list.

      Depending on the model implementation, calling this function may be less efficient than iterating the list with increasing values for position until g_list_model_get_item() returns %NULL.

      Returns number

    • get_property(property_name?: string, value?: any): void
    • Gets a property of an object.

      The value can be:

      • an empty #GValue initialized by %G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
      • a #GValue initialized with the expected type of the property
      • a #GValue initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

      In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().

      Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

      Parameters

      • Optional property_name: string

        the name of the property to get

      • Optional value: any

        return location for the property value

      Returns void

    • get_qdata(quark: number): object
    • getv(names: string[], values: any[]): void
    • Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

      Parameters

      • names: string[]

        the names of each property to get

      • values: any[]

        the values of each property to get

      Returns void

    • is_floating(): boolean
    • items_changed(position: number, removed: number, added: number): void
    • Emits the #GListModel::items-changed signal on list.

      This function should only be called by classes implementing #GListModel. It has to be called after the internal representation of list has been updated, because handlers connected to this signal might query the new state of the list.

      Implementations must only make changes to the model (as visible to its consumer) in places that will not cause problems for that consumer. For models that are driven directly by a write API (such as #GListStore), changes can be reported in response to uses of that API. For models that represent remote data, changes should only be made from a fresh mainloop dispatch. It is particularly not permitted to make changes in response to a call to the #GListModel consumer API.

      Stated another way: in general, it is assumed that code making a series of accesses to the model via the API, without returning to the mainloop, and without calling other code, will continue to view the same contents of the model.

      Parameters

      • position: number

        the position at which list changed

      • removed: number

        the number of items removed

      • added: number

        the number of items added

      Returns void

    • notify(property_name: string): void
    • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

      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.

      Parameters

      • property_name: string

        the name of a property installed on the class of object.

      Returns void

    • Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.

      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]);
      

      Parameters

      • pspec: ParamSpec

        the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.

      Returns void

    • Increases the reference count of object.

      Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

      Returns GObject.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().

      Returns GObject.Object

    • remove(position: number): void
    • Removes the sorter at the given position from the list of sorter used by self.

      If position is larger than the number of sorters, nothing happens.

      Parameters

      • position: number

        position of sorter to remove

      Returns void

    • run_dispose(): void
    • Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.

      This function should only be called from object system implementations.

      Returns void

    • set_data(key: string, data?: object): void
    • 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.

      Parameters

      • key: string

        name of the key

      • Optional data: object

        data to associate with that key

      Returns void

    • set_property(property_name: string, value?: any): void
    • steal_data(key?: string): object
    • Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.

      Parameters

      • Optional key: string

        name of the key

      Returns object

    • steal_qdata(quark: number): object
    • 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().

      Parameters

      • quark: number

        A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer

      Returns object

    • thaw_notify(): void
    • 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.

      Returns void

    • unref(): void
    • 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.

      Returns void

    • Compares two given items according to the sort order implemented by the sorter.

      Sorters implement a partial order:

      • It is reflexive, ie a = a
      • It is antisymmetric, ie if a < b and b < a, then a = b
      • It is transitive, ie given any 3 items with a ≤ b and b ≤ c, then a ≤ c

      The sorter may signal it conforms to additional constraints via the return value of [methodGtk.Sorter.get_order].

      virtual

      Parameters

    • vfunc_dispose(): void
    • vfunc_finalize(): void
    • vfunc_get_id(): string
    • Get the item at position. If position is greater than the number of items in list, %NULL is returned.

      %NULL is never returned for an index that is smaller than the length of the list. See g_list_model_get_n_items().

      virtual

      Parameters

      • position: number

        the position of the item to fetch

      Returns GObject.Object

    • vfunc_get_item_type(): GType<unknown>
    • Gets the type of the items in list.

      All items returned from g_list_model_get_item() are of the type returned by this function, or a subtype, or if the type is an interface, they are an implementation of that interface.

      The item type of a #GListModel can not change during the life of the model.

      virtual

      Returns GType<unknown>

    • vfunc_get_n_items(): number
    • Gets the number of items in list.

      Depending on the model implementation, calling this function may be less efficient than iterating the list with increasing values for position until g_list_model_get_item() returns %NULL.

      virtual

      Returns number

    • vfunc_get_property(property_id: number, value?: any, pspec?: ParamSpec): void
    • Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.

      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.

      virtual

      Parameters

      Returns void

    • vfunc_set_buildable_property(builder: Gtk.Builder, name: string, value: any): void
    • vfunc_set_id(id: string): void
    • vfunc_set_property(property_id: number, value?: any, pspec?: ParamSpec): void
    • watch_closure(closure: TClosure<any, any>): void
    • 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 use this object as closure data.

      Parameters

      • closure: TClosure<any, any>

        #GClosure to watch

      Returns void

    • compat_control(what: number, data: object): number
    • Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

      Parameters

      • g_iface: TypeInterface

        any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface

      • property_name: string

        name of a property to look up.

      Returns ParamSpec

    • Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.

      This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of #GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface.

      If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

      Parameters

      • g_iface: TypeInterface

        any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface.

      • pspec: ParamSpec

        the #GParamSpec for the new property

      Returns void

    • Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().

      Parameters

      • g_iface: TypeInterface

        any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface

      Returns ParamSpec[]

    • Creates a new multi sorter.

      This sorter compares items by trying each of the sorters in turn, until one returns non-zero. In particular, if no sorter has been added to it, it will always compare items as equal.

      Returns MultiSorter

    • Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.

      Construction parameters (see %G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT, %G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY) which are not explicitly specified are set to their default values.

      Parameters

      • object_type: GType<unknown>

        the type id of the #GObject subtype to instantiate

      • parameters: GObject.Parameter[]

        an array of #GParameter

      Returns GObject.Object
