## Description

GtkWidget is the base class all widgets in GTK+ derive from. It manages the widget lifecycle, states and style.

### Height-for-width Geometry Management

GTK+ uses a height-for-width (and width-for-height) geometry management system. Height-for-width means that a widget can change how much vertical space it needs, depending on the amount of horizontal space that it is given (and similar for width-for-height). The most common example is a label that reflows to fill up the available width, wraps to fewer lines, and therefore needs less height.

Height-for-width geometry management is implemented in GTK+ by way of five virtual methods:

- `GtkWidgetClass.get_request_mode()`
- `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width()`
- `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()`
- `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width()`
- `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width_for_height()`

There are some important things to keep in mind when implementing height-for-width and when using it in container implementations.

The geometry management system will query a widget hierarchy in only one orientation at a time. When widgets are initially queried for their minimum sizes it is generally done in two initial passes in the GtkSizeRequestMode chosen by the toplevel.

For example, when queried in the normal `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH` mode: First, the default minimum and natural width for each widget in the interface will be computed using `gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()`. Because the preferred widths for each container depend on the preferred widths of their children, this information propagates up the hierarchy, and finally a minimum and natural width is determined for the entire toplevel. Next, the toplevel will use the minimum width to query for the minimum height contextual to that width using `gtk_widget_get_preferred_height_for_width()`, which will also be a highly recursive operation. The minimum height for the minimum width is normally used to set the minimum size constraint on the toplevel (unless `gtk_window_set_geometry_hints()` is explicitly used instead).

After the toplevel window has initially requested its size in both dimensions it can go on to allocate itself a reasonable size (or a size previously specified with `gtk_window_set_default_size()`). During the recursive allocation process it's important to note that request cycles will be recursively executed while container widgets allocate their children. Each container widget, once allocated a size, will go on to first share the space in one orientation among its children and then request each child's height for its target allocated width or its width for allocated height, depending. In this way a GtkWidget will typically be requested its size a number of times before actually being allocated a size. The size a widget is finally allocated can of course differ from the size it has requested. For this reason, GtkWidget caches a small number of results to avoid re-querying for the same sizes in one allocation cycle.

See GtkContainer's geometry management section to learn more about how height-for-width allocations are performed by container widgets.

If a widget does move content around to intelligently use up the allocated size then it must support the request in both GtkSizeRequestModes even if the widget in question only trades sizes in a single orientation.

For instance, a GtkLabel that does height-for-width word wrapping will not expect to have `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()` called because that call is specific to a width-for-height request. In this case the label must return the height required for its own minimum possible width. By following this rule any widget that handles height-for-width or width-for-height requests will always be allocated at least enough space to fit its own content.

Here are some examples of how a `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH` widget generally deals with width-for-height requests, for `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()` it will do:

    static void
    foo_widget_get_preferred_height (GtkWidget *widget, gint *min_height, gint *nat_height)
    {
       if (i_am_in_height_for_width_mode)
         {
           gint min_width;

           GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_width (widget, &min_width, NULL);
           GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_height_for_width (widget, min_width,
                                                                         min_height, nat_height);
         }
       else
         {
            ... some widgets do both. For instance, if a GtkLabel is rotated to 90 degrees
            it will return the minimum and natural height for the rotated label here.
         }
    }

And in `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width_for_height()` it will simply return the minimum and natural width:

    static void
    foo_widget_get_preferred_width_for_height (GtkWidget *widget, gint for_height,
                                               gint *min_width, gint *nat_width)
    {
       if (i_am_in_height_for_width_mode)
         {
           GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS (widget)->get_preferred_width (widget, min_width, nat_width);
         }
       else
         {
            ... again if a widget is sometimes operating in width-for-height mode
            (like a rotated GtkLabel) it can go ahead and do its real width for
            height calculation here.
         }
    }

Often a widget needs to get its own request during size request or allocation. For example, when computing height it may need to also compute width. Or when deciding how to use an allocation, the widget may need to know its natural size. In these cases, the widget should be careful to call its virtual methods directly, like this:

Example 102. Widget calling its own size request method.

    1
    2
    GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS(widget)->get_preferred_width (widget),
                                     &min, &natural);

It will not work to use the wrapper functions, such as `gtk_widget_get_preferred_width()` inside your own size request implementation. These return a request adjusted by GtkSizeGroup and by the `GtkWidgetClass.adjust_size_request()` virtual method. If a widget used the wrappers inside its virtual method implementations, then the adjustments (such as widget margins) would be applied twice. GTK+ therefore does not allow this and will warn if you try to do it.

Of course if you are getting the size request for another widget, such as a child of a container, you must use the wrapper APIs. Otherwise, you would not properly consider widget margins, GtkSizeGroup, and so forth.

### Style Properties

GtkWidget introduces style properties - these are basically object properties that are stored not on the object, but in the style object associated to the widget. Style properties are set in resource files. This mechanism is used for configuring such things as the location of the scrollbar arrows through the theme, giving theme authors more control over the look of applications without the need to write a theme engine in C.

Use `gtk_widget_class_install_style_property()` to install style properties for a widget class, `gtk_widget_class_find_style_property()` or `gtk_widget_class_list_style_properties()` to get information about existing style properties and `gtk_widget_style_get_property()`, `gtk_widget_style_get()` or `gtk_widget_style_get_valist()` to obtain the value of a style property.

### GtkWidget as GtkBuildable

The GtkWidget implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a custom <accelerator> element, which has attributes named key, modifiers and signal and allows to specify accelerators.

Example 103. A UI definition fragment specifying an accelerator

    1
    2
    3
    <object class="GtkButton">
      <accelerator key="q" modifiers="GDK_CONTROL_MASK" signal="clicked"/>
    </object>

In addition to accelerators, GtkWidget also support a custom <accessible> element, which supports actions and relations. Properties on the accessible implementation of an object can be set by accessing the internal child "accessible" of a GtkWidget.

Example 104. A UI definition fragment specifying an accessible

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14
    <object class="GtkButton" id="label1"/>
      <property name="label">I am a Label for a Button</property>
    </object>
    <object class="GtkButton" id="button1">
      <accessibility>
        <action action_name="click" translatable="yes">Click the button.</action>
        <relation target="label1" type="labelled-by"/>
      </accessibility>
      <child internal-child="accessible">
        <object class="AtkObject" id="a11y-button1">
          <property name="AtkObject::name">Clickable Button</property>
        </object>
      </child>
    </object>

Finally, GtkWidget allows style information such as style classes to be associated with widgets, using the custom <style> element:

Example 105. A UI definition fragment specifying an style class

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    <object class="GtkButton" id="button1">
      <style>
        <class name="my-special-button-class"/>
        <class name="dark-button"/>
      </style>
    </object>

`get_request_mode` () | This allows a widget to tell its parent container whether it prefers to be allocated in `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH` or `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT` mode. `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_HEIGHT_FOR_WIDTH` means the widget prefers to have `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width()` called and then `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width()`. `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_CONSTANT_SIZE` disables any height-for-width or width-for-height geometry management for a said widget and is the default return. It's important to note (as described below) that any widget which trades height-for-width or width-for-height must respond properly to both of the virtual methods `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width()` and `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width_for_height()` since it might be queried in either GtkSizeRequestMode by its parent container.
`get_preferred_height` () | This is called by containers to obtain the minimum and natural height of a widget. A widget that does not actually trade any height for width or width for height only has to implement these two virtual methods (`GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_width()` and `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()`).
`get_preferred_width_for_height` () | This is analogous to `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height_for_width()` except that it operates in the oposite orientation. It's rare that a widget actually does `GTK_SIZE_REQUEST_WIDTH_FOR_HEIGHT` requests but this can happen when, for example, a widget or container gets additional columns to compensate for a smaller allocated height.
`get_preferred_width` () | This is called by containers to obtain the minimum and natural width of a widget. A widget will never be allocated a width less than its minimum and will only ever be allocated a width greater than the natural width once all of the said widget's siblings have received their natural widths. Furthermore, a widget will only ever be allocated a width greater than its natural width if it was configured to receive extra expand space from its parent container.
`get_preferred_height_for_width` () | This is similar to `GtkWidgetClass.get_preferred_height()` except that it is passed a contextual width to request height for. By implementing this virtual method it is possible for a GtkLabel to tell its parent how much height would be required if the label were to be allocated a said width.

`adjust_size_request` () | Convert an initial size request from a widget's GtkSizeRequestMode virtual method implementations into a size request to be used by parent containers in laying out the widget. adjust_size_request adjusts from a child widget's original request to what a parent container should use for layout. The `for_size` argument will be -1 if the request should not be for a particular size in the opposing orientation, i.e. if the request is not height-for-width or width-for-height. If `for_size` is greater than -1, it is the proposed allocation in the opposing orientation that we need the request for. Implementations of adjust_size_request should chain up to the default implementation, which applies GtkWidget's margin properties and imposes any values from `gtk_widget_set_size_request()`. Chaining up should be last, after your subclass adjusts the request, so GtkWidget can apply constraints and add the margin properly.
`adjust_size_allocation` () | Convert an initial size allocation assigned by a GtkContainer using `gtk_widget_size_allocate()`, into an actual size allocation to be used by the widget. adjust_size_allocation adjusts to a child widget's actual allocation from what a parent container computed for the child. The adjusted allocation must be entirely within the original allocation. In any custom implementation, chain up to the default GtkWidget implementation of this method, which applies the margin and alignment properties of GtkWidget. Chain up before performing your own adjustments so your own adjustments remove more allocation after the GtkWidget base class has already removed margin and alignment. The natural size passed in should be adjusted in the same way as the allocated size, which allows adjustments to perform alignments or other changes based on natural size.

### GtkCallback ()

    void                (*GtkCallback)                      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gpointer data);

The type of the callback functions used for e.g. iterating over the children of a container, see `gtk_container_foreach()`.

`widget` : | the widget to operate on
`data` : | user-supplied data. [closure]

### GtkRequisition

    typedef struct {
      gint width;
      gint height;
    } GtkRequisition;

A GtkRequisition represents the desired size of a widget. See the section called “Height-for-width Geometry Management” for more information.

gint `width`; | the widget's desired width
gint `height`; | the widget's desired height

### GtkAllocation

    typedef 	GdkRectangle	   GtkAllocation;

A GtkAllocation of a widget represents region which has been allocated to the widget by its parent. It is a subregion of its parents allocation. See the section called “Height-for-width Geometry Management” for more information.

### struct GtkWidgetAuxInfo

    struct GtkWidgetAuxInfo {
      gint width;
      gint height;

      guint   halign : 4;
      guint   valign : 4;

      GtkBorder margin;
    };

### enum GtkWidgetHelpType

    typedef enum {
      GTK_WIDGET_HELP_TOOLTIP,
      GTK_WIDGET_HELP_WHATS_THIS
    } GtkWidgetHelpType;

`GTK_WIDGET_HELP_WHATS_THIS` |

### gtk_widget_new ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_widget_new                      (GType type,
                                                             const gchar *first_property_name,
                                                             ...);

This is a convenience function for creating a widget and setting its properties in one go. For example you might write: `gtk_widget_new (GTK_TYPE_LABEL, "label", "Hello World", "xalign", 0.0, NULL)` to create a left-aligned label. Equivalent to `g_object_new()`, but returns a widget so you don't have to cast the object yourself.

`type` : | type ID of the widget to create
`first_property_name` : | name of first property to set
`...` : | value of first property, followed by more properties, `NULL`-terminated
Returns : | a new GtkWidget of type `widget_type`

### gtk_widget_destroy ()

    void                gtk_widget_destroy                  (GtkWidget *widget);

Destroys a widget.

When a widget is destroyed, it will break any references it holds to other objects. If the widget is inside a container, the widget will be removed from the container. If the widget is a toplevel (derived from GtkWindow), it will be removed from the list of toplevels, and the reference GTK+ holds to it will be removed. Removing a widget from its container or the list of toplevels results in the widget being finalized, unless you've added additional references to the widget with `g_object_ref()`.

In most cases, only toplevel widgets (windows) require explicit destruction, because when you destroy a toplevel its children will be destroyed as well.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_in_destruction ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_in_destruction           (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns whether the widget is currently being destroyed. This information can sometimes be used to avoid doing unnecessary work.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if `widget` is being destroyed

### gtk_widget_destroyed ()

    void                gtk_widget_destroyed                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkWidget **widget_pointer);

This function sets *`widget_pointer` to `NULL` if `widget_pointer` != `NULL`. It's intended to be used as a callback connected to the "destroy" signal of a widget. You connect `gtk_widget_destroyed()` as a signal handler, and pass the address of your widget variable as user data. Then when the widget is destroyed, the variable will be set to `NULL`. Useful for example to avoid multiple copies of the same dialog.

`widget_pointer` : | address of a variable that contains `widget`. [inout][transfer none]

### gtk_widget_unparent ()

    void                gtk_widget_unparent                 (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Should be called by implementations of the remove method on GtkContainer, to dissociate a child from the container.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show ()

    void                gtk_widget_show                     (GtkWidget *widget);

Flags a widget to be displayed. Any widget that isn't shown will not appear on the screen. If you want to show all the widgets in a container, it's easier to call `gtk_widget_show_all()` on the container, instead of individually showing the widgets.

Remember that you have to show the containers containing a widget, in addition to the widget itself, before it will appear onscreen.

When a toplevel container is shown, it is immediately realized and mapped; other shown widgets are realized and mapped when their toplevel container is realized and mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show_now ()

    void                gtk_widget_show_now                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Shows a widget. If the widget is an unmapped toplevel widget (i.e. a GtkWindow that has not yet been shown), enter the main loop and wait for the window to actually be mapped. Be careful; because the main loop is running, anything can happen during this function.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_hide ()

    void                gtk_widget_hide                     (GtkWidget *widget);

Reverses the effects of `gtk_widget_show()`, causing the widget to be hidden (invisible to the user).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show_all ()

    void                gtk_widget_show_all                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Recursively shows a widget, and any child widgets (if the widget is a container).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_map ()

    void                gtk_widget_map                      (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be mapped if it isn't already.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_unmap ()

    void                gtk_widget_unmap                    (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unmapped if it's currently mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_realize ()

    void                gtk_widget_realize                  (GtkWidget *widget);

Creates the GDK (windowing system) resources associated with a widget. For example, `widget->window` will be created when a widget is realized. Normally realization happens implicitly; if you show a widget and all its parent containers, then the widget will be realized and mapped automatically.

Realizing a widget requires all the widget's parent widgets to be realized; calling `gtk_widget_realize()` realizes the widget's parents in addition to `widget` itself. If a widget is not yet inside a toplevel window when you realize it, bad things will happen.

This function is primarily used in widget implementations, and isn't very useful otherwise. Many times when you think you might need it, a better approach is to connect to a signal that will be called after the widget is realized automatically, such as "draw". Or simply `g_signal_connect()` to the "realize" signal.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_unrealize ()

    void                gtk_widget_unrealize                (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only useful in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unrealized (frees all GDK resources associated with the widget, such as `widget->window`).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_draw ()

    void                gtk_widget_draw                     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             cairo_t *cr);

Draws `widget` to `cr`. The top left corner of the widget will be drawn to the currently set origin point of `cr`.

You should pass a cairo context as `cr` argument that is in an original state. Otherwise the resulting drawing is undefined. For example changing the operator using `cairo_set_operator()` or the line width using `cairo_set_line_width()` might have unwanted side effects. You may however change the context's transform matrix - like with `cairo_scale()`, `cairo_translate()` or `cairo_set_matrix()` and clip region with `cairo_clip()` prior to calling this function. Also, it is fine to modify the context with `cairo_save()` and `cairo_push_group()` prior to calling this function.

### Note

Special purpose widgets may contain special code for rendering to the screen and might appear differently on screen and when rendered using `gtk_widget_draw()`.

`widget` : | the widget to draw. It must be drawable (see `gtk_widget_is_drawable()`) and a size must have been allocated.
`cr` : | a cairo context to draw to

Since 3.0

### gtk_widget_queue_draw ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_draw               (GtkWidget *widget);

Equivalent to calling `gtk_widget_queue_draw_area()` for the entire area of a widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_queue_resize ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_resize             (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Flags a widget to have its size renegotiated; should be called when a widget for some reason has a new size request. For example, when you change the text in a GtkLabel, GtkLabel queues a resize to ensure there's enough space for the new text.

### Note

You cannot call `gtk_widget_queue_resize()` on a widget from inside its implementation of the GtkWidgetClass::size_allocate virtual method. Calls to `gtk_widget_queue_resize()` from inside GtkWidgetClass::size_allocate will be silently ignored.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_queue_resize_no_redraw ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_resize_no_redraw   (GtkWidget *widget);

This function works like `gtk_widget_queue_resize()`, except that the widget is not invalidated.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

Since 2.4

### gtk_widget_size_request ()

    void                gtk_widget_size_request             (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkRequisition *requisition);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_size_request` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()` instead.

This function is typically used when implementing a GtkContainer subclass. Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what size allocations to give them with `gtk_widget_size_allocate()`.

You can also call this function from an application, with some caveats. Most notably, getting a size request requires the widget to be associated with a screen, because font information may be needed. Multihead-aware applications should keep this in mind.

Also remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a widget will actually be allocated.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`requisition` : | a GtkRequisition to be filled in. [out]

### gtk_widget_get_child_requisition ()

    void                gtk_widget_get_child_requisition    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkRequisition *requisition);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_child_requisition` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()` instead.

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Obtains `widget->requisition`, unless someone has forced a particular geometry on the widget (e.g. with `gtk_widget_set_size_request()`), in which case it returns that geometry instead of the widget's requisition.

This function differs from `gtk_widget_size_request()` in that it retrieves the last size request value from `widget->requisition`, while `gtk_widget_size_request()` actually calls the "size_request" method on `widget` to compute the size request and fill in `widget->requisition`, and only then returns `widget->requisition`.

Because this function does not call the "size_request" method, it can only be used when you know that `widget->requisition` is up-to-date, that is, `gtk_widget_size_request()` has been called since the last time a resize was queued. In general, only container implementations have this information; applications should use `gtk_widget_size_request()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`requisition` : | a GtkRequisition to be filled in. [out]

### gtk_widget_size_allocate ()

    void                gtk_widget_size_allocate            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkAllocation *allocation);

This function is only used by GtkContainer subclasses, to assign a size and position to their child widgets.

In this function, the allocation may be adjusted. It will be forced to a 1x1 minimum size, and the adjust_size_allocation virtual method on the child will be used to adjust the allocation. Standard adjustments include removing the widget's margins, and applying the widget's "halign" and "valign" properties.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`allocation` : | position and size to be allocated to `widget`

### gtk_widget_add_accelerator ()

    void                gtk_widget_add_accelerator          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const gchar *accel_signal,
                                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group,
                                                             guint accel_key,
                                                             GdkModifierType accel_mods,
                                                             GtkAccelFlags accel_flags);

Installs an accelerator for this `widget` in `accel_group` that causes `accel_signal` to be emitted if the accelerator is activated. The `accel_group` needs to be added to the widget's toplevel via `gtk_window_add_accel_group()`, and the signal must be of type `G_SIGNAL_ACTION`. Accelerators added through this function are not user changeable during runtime. If you want to support accelerators that can be changed by the user, use `gtk_accel_map_add_entry()` and `gtk_widget_set_accel_path()` or `gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path()` instead.

`widget` : | widget to install an accelerator on
`accel_signal` : | widget signal to emit on accelerator activation
`accel_group` : | accel group for this widget, added to its toplevel
`accel_key` : | GDK keyval of the accelerator
`accel_mods` : | modifier key combination of the accelerator
`accel_flags` : | flag accelerators, e.g. `GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE`

### gtk_widget_remove_accelerator ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_remove_accelerator       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group,
                                                             guint accel_key,
                                                             GdkModifierType accel_mods);

Removes an accelerator from `widget`, previously installed with `gtk_widget_add_accelerator()`.

`widget` : | widget to install an accelerator on
`accel_group` : | accel group for this widget
`accel_key` : | GDK keyval of the accelerator
`accel_mods` : | modifier key combination of the accelerator
Returns : | whether an accelerator was installed and could be removed

### gtk_widget_set_accel_path ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_accel_path           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const gchar *accel_path,
                                                             GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Given an accelerator group, `accel_group`, and an accelerator path, `accel_path`, sets up an accelerator in `accel_group` so whenever the key binding that is defined for `accel_path` is pressed, `widget` will be activated. This removes any accelerators (for any accelerator group) installed by previous calls to `gtk_widget_set_accel_path()`. Associating accelerators with paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications to be saved for future use. (See `gtk_accel_map_save()`.)

This function is a low level function that would most likely be used by a menu creation system like GtkUIManager. If you use GtkUIManager, setting up accelerator paths will be done automatically.

Even when you you aren't using GtkUIManager, if you only want to set up accelerators on menu items `gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path()` provides a somewhat more convenient interface.

Note that `accel_path` string will be stored in a GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with `g_intern_static_string()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`accel_path` : | path used to look up the accelerator. [allow-none]
`accel_group` : | a GtkAccelGroup. [allow-none]

### gtk_widget_list_accel_closures ()

    GList *             gtk_widget_list_accel_closures      (GtkWidget *widget);

Lists the closures used by `widget` for accelerator group connections with `gtk_accel_group_connect_by_path()` or `gtk_accel_group_connect()`. The closures can be used to monitor accelerator changes on `widget`, by connecting to the `GtkAccelGroup`::accel-changed signal of the GtkAccelGroup of a closure which can be found out with `gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure()`.

`widget` : | widget to list accelerator closures for
Returns : | a newly allocated GList of closures. [transfer container][element-type GClosure]

### gtk_widget_can_activate_accel ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_can_activate_accel       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             guint signal_id);

Determines whether an accelerator that activates the signal identified by `signal_id` can currently be activated. This is done by emitting the "can-activate-accel" signal on `widget`; if the signal isn't overridden by a handler or in a derived widget, then the default check is that the widget must be sensitive, and the widget and all its ancestors mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`signal_id` : | the ID of a signal installed on `widget`
Returns : | `TRUE` if the accelerator can be activated.

Since 2.4

### gtk_widget_event ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_event                    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkEvent *event);

Rarely-used function. This function is used to emit the event signals on a widget (those signals should never be emitted without using this function to do so). If you want to synthesize an event though, don't use this function; instead, use `gtk_main_do_event()` so the event will behave as if it were in the event queue. Don't synthesize expose events; instead, use `gdk_window_invalidate_rect()` to invalidate a region of the window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`event` : | a GdkEvent
Returns : | return from the event signal emission (`TRUE` if the event was handled)

### gtk_widget_activate ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_activate                 (GtkWidget *widget);

For widgets that can be "activated" (buttons, menu items, etc.) this function activates them. Activation is what happens when you press Enter on a widget during key navigation. If `widget` isn't activatable, the function returns `FALSE`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget that's activatable
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget was activatable

### gtk_widget_reparent ()

    void                gtk_widget_reparent                 (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkWidget *new_parent);

Moves a widget from one GtkContainer to another, handling reference count issues to avoid destroying the widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`new_parent` : | a GtkContainer to move the widget into

### gtk_widget_intersect ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_intersect                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const GdkRectangle *area,
                                                             GdkRectangle *intersection);

Computes the intersection of a `widget`'s area and `area`, storing the intersection in `intersection`, and returns `TRUE` if there was an intersection. `intersection` may be `NULL` if you're only interested in whether there was an intersection.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`area` : | a rectangle
`intersection` : | rectangle to store intersection of `widget` and `area`
Returns : | `TRUE` if there was an intersection

### gtk_widget_is_focus ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_is_focus                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines if the widget is the focus widget within its toplevel. (This does not mean that the `HAS_FOCUS` flag is necessarily set; `HAS_FOCUS` will only be set if the toplevel widget additionally has the global input focus.)

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is the focus widget.

### gtk_widget_grab_focus ()

    void                gtk_widget_grab_focus               (GtkWidget *widget);

Causes `widget` to have the keyboard focus for the GtkWindow it's inside. `widget` must be a focusable widget, such as a GtkEntry; something like GtkFrame won't work.

More precisely, it must have the `GTK_CAN_FOCUS` flag set. Use `gtk_widget_set_can_focus()` to modify that flag.

The widget also needs to be realized and mapped. This is indicated by the related signals. Grabbing the focus immediately after creating the widget will likely fail and cause critical warnings.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_grab_default ()

    void                gtk_widget_grab_default             (GtkWidget *widget);

Causes `widget` to become the default widget. `widget` must be able to be a default widget; typically you would ensure this yourself by calling `gtk_widget_set_can_default()` with a `TRUE` value. The default widget is activated when the user presses Enter in a window. Default widgets must be activatable, that is, `gtk_widget_activate()` should affect them. Note that GtkEntry widgets require the "activates-default" property set to `TRUE` before they activate the default widget when Enter is pressed and the GtkEntry is focused.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_set_name ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_name                 (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const gchar *name);

Widgets can be named, which allows you to refer to them from a CSS file. You can apply a style to widgets with a particular name in the CSS file. See the documentation for the CSS syntax (on the same page as the docs for GtkStyleContext).

Note that the CSS syntax has certain special characters to delimit and represent elements in a selector (period, #, >, *...), so using these will make your widget impossible to match by name. Any combination of alphanumeric symbols, dashes and underscores will suffice.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`name` : | name for the widget

### gtk_widget_get_name ()

    const gchar *       gtk_widget_get_name                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Retrieves the name of a widget. See `gtk_widget_set_name()` for the significance of widget names.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | name of the widget. This string is owned by GTK+ and should not be modified or freed

### gtk_widget_set_state ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_state                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkStateType state);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_set_state` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 3.0. Use `gtk_widget_set_state_flags()` instead.

This function is for use in widget implementations. Sets the state of a widget (insensitive, prelighted, etc.) Usually you should set the state using wrapper functions such as `gtk_widget_set_sensitive()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`state` : | new state for `widget`

### gtk_widget_set_sensitive ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_sensitive            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean sensitive);

Sets the sensitivity of a widget. A widget is sensitive if the user can interact with it. Insensitive widgets are "grayed out" and the user can't interact with them. Insensitive widgets are known as "inactive", "disabled", or "ghosted" in some other toolkits.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`sensitive` : | `TRUE` to make the widget sensitive

### gtk_widget_set_parent ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_parent               (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkWidget *parent);

This function is useful only when implementing subclasses of GtkContainer. Sets the container as the parent of `widget`, and takes care of some details such as updating the state and style of the child to reflect its new location. The opposite function is `gtk_widget_unparent()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`parent` : | parent container

### gtk_widget_set_parent_window ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_parent_window        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkWindow *parent_window);

Sets a non default parent window for `widget`.

For GtkWindow classes, setting a `parent_window` effects whether the window is a toplevel window or can be embedded into other widgets.

### Note

For GtkWindow classes, this needs to be called before the window is realized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
`parent_window` : | the new parent window.

### gtk_widget_get_parent_window ()

    GdkWindow *         gtk_widget_get_parent_window        (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets `widget`'s parent window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
Returns : | the parent window of `widget`. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_set_events ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_events               (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint events);

Sets the event mask (see GdkEventMask) for a widget. The event mask determines which events a widget will receive. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider `gtk_widget_add_events()` for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a GtkEventBox and receive events on the event box.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`events` : | event mask

### gtk_widget_get_events ()

    gint                gtk_widget_get_events               (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the event mask for the widget (a bitfield containing flags from the GdkEventMask enumeration). These are the events that the widget will receive.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | event mask for `widget`

### gtk_widget_add_events ()

    void                gtk_widget_add_events               (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint events);

Adds the events in the bitfield `events` to the event mask for `widget`. See `gtk_widget_set_events()` for details.

`events` : | an event mask, see GdkEventMask

### gtk_widget_set_device_events ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_device_events        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkDevice *device,
                                                             GdkEventMask events);

Sets the device event mask (see GdkEventMask) for a widget. The event mask determines which events a widget will receive from `device`. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider `gtk_widget_add_device_events()` for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a GtkEventBox and receive events on the event box.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`device` : | a GdkDevice
`events` : | event mask

Returns the events mask for the widget corresponding to an specific device. These are the events that the widget will receive when `device` operates on it.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`device` : | a GdkDevice
Returns : | device event mask for `widget`

Since 3.0

### gtk_widget_add_device_events ()

    void                gtk_widget_add_device_events        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkDevice *device,

### gtk_widget_set_device_enabled ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_device_enabled       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkDevice *device,

Enables or disables a GdkDevice to interact with `widget` and all its children.

It does so by descending through the GdkWindow hierarchy and enabling the same mask that is has for core events (i.e. the one that `gdk_window_get_events()` returns).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`device` : | a GdkDevice
`enabled` : | whether to enable the device

### gtk_widget_get_toplevel ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_widget_get_toplevel             (GtkWidget *widget);

This function returns the topmost widget in the container hierarchy `widget` is a part of. If `widget` has no parent widgets, it will be returned as the topmost widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Note the difference in behavior vs. `gtk_widget_get_ancestor()`; `gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW)` would return `NULL` if `widget` wasn't inside a toplevel window, and if the window was inside a GtkWindow-derived widget which was in turn inside the toplevel GtkWindow. While the second case may seem unlikely, it actually happens when a GtkPlug is embedded inside a GtkSocket within the same application.

To reliably find the toplevel GtkWindow, use `gtk_widget_get_toplevel()` and check if the `TOPLEVEL` flags is set on the result.

    GtkWidget *toplevel = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (widget);
    if (gtk_widget_is_toplevel (toplevel))
      {
        /* Perform action on toplevel. */
      }

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the topmost ancestor of `widget`, or `widget` itself if there's no ancestor. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_get_ancestor ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_widget_get_ancestor             (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GType widget_type);

Gets the first ancestor of `widget` with type `widget_type`. For example, `gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX)` gets the first GtkBox that's an ancestor of `widget`. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel GtkWindow in the docs for `gtk_widget_get_toplevel()`.

Note that unlike `gtk_widget_is_ancestor()`, `gtk_widget_get_ancestor()` considers `widget` to be an ancestor of itself.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`widget_type` : | ancestor type
Returns : | the ancestor widget, or `NULL` if not found. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_get_visual ()

    GdkVisual *         gtk_widget_get_visual               (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the visual that will be used to render `widget`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the visual for `widget`. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_set_visual ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_visual               (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkVisual *visual);

Sets the visual that should be used for by widget and its children for creating GdkWindows. The visual must be on the same GdkScreen as returned by `gtk_widget_get_screen()`, so handling the "screen-changed" signal is necessary.

Setting a new `visual` will not cause `widget` to recreate its windows, so you should call this function before `widget` is realized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`visual` : | visual to be used or `NULL` to unset a previous one

### gtk_widget_get_pointer ()

    void                gtk_widget_get_pointer              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint *x,
                                                             gint *y);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_pointer` has been deprecated since version 3.4 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gdk_window_get_device_position()` instead.

Obtains the location of the mouse pointer in widget coordinates. Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as `widget->window` coordinates for widgets that are not GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets, and are relative to `widget->allocation.x`, `widget->allocation.y` for widgets that are GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | return location for the X coordinate, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]
`y` : | return location for the Y coordinate, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]

### gtk_widget_is_ancestor ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_is_ancestor              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkWidget *ancestor);

Determines whether `widget` is somewhere inside `ancestor`, possibly with intermediate containers.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`ancestor` : | another GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if `ancestor` contains `widget` as a child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc.

### gtk_widget_translate_coordinates ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_translate_coordinates    (GtkWidget *src_widget,
                                                             GtkWidget *dest_widget,
                                                             gint src_x,
                                                             gint src_y,
                                                             gint *dest_x,
                                                             gint *dest_y);

Translate coordinates relative to `src_widget`'s allocation to coordinates relative to `dest_widget`'s allocations. In order to perform this operation, both widgets must be realized, and must share a common toplevel.

`src_widget` : | a GtkWidget
`dest_widget` : | a GtkWidget
`src_x` : | X position relative to `src_widget`
`src_y` : | Y position relative to `src_widget`
`dest_x` : | location to store X position relative to `dest_widget`. [out]
`dest_y` : | location to store Y position relative to `dest_widget`. [out]
Returns : | `FALSE` if either widget was not realized, or there was no common ancestor. In this case, nothing is stored in *`dest_x` and *`dest_y`. Otherwise `TRUE`.

### gtk_widget_hide_on_delete ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_hide_on_delete           (GtkWidget *widget);

Utility function; intended to be connected to the "delete-event" signal on a GtkWindow. The function calls `gtk_widget_hide()` on its argument, then returns `TRUE`. If connected to ::delete-event, the result is that clicking the close button for a window (on the window frame, top right corner usually) will hide but not destroy the window. By default, GTK+ destroys windows when ::delete-event is received.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE`

### gtk_widget_set_style ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_style                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkStyle *style);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_set_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead

Used to set the GtkStyle for a widget (`widget->style`). Since GTK 3, this function does nothing, the passed in style is ignored.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`style` : | a GtkStyle, or `NULL` to remove the effect of a previous call to `gtk_widget_set_style()` and go back to the default style. [allow-none]

### gtk_widget_ensure_style ()

    void                gtk_widget_ensure_style             (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_ensure_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead

Ensures that `widget` has a style (`widget->style`).

Not a very useful function; most of the time, if you want the style, the widget is realized, and realized widgets are guaranteed to have a style already.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_get_style ()

    GtkStyle *          gtk_widget_get_style                (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead

Simply an accessor function that returns `widget->style`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the widget's GtkStyle. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_reset_rc_styles ()

    void                gtk_widget_reset_rc_styles          (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_reset_rc_styles` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead, and `gtk_widget_reset_style()`

Reset the styles of `widget` and all descendents, so when they are looked up again, they get the correct values for the currently loaded RC file settings.

This function is not useful for applications.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_widget_get_default_style ()

    GtkStyle *          gtk_widget_get_default_style        (void);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_default_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead, and `gtk_css_provider_get_default()` to obtain a GtkStyleProvider with the default widget style information.

Returns the default style used by all widgets initially.

Returns : | the default style. This GtkStyle object is owned by GTK+ and should not be modified or freed. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_set_direction ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_direction            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkTextDirection dir);

Sets the reading direction on a particular widget. This direction controls the primary direction for widgets containing text, and also the direction in which the children of a container are packed. The ability to set the direction is present in order so that correct localization into languages with right-to-left reading directions can be done. Generally, applications will let the default reading direction present, except for containers where the containers are arranged in an order that is explicitely visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).

If the direction is set to `GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE`, then the value set by `gtk_widget_set_default_direction()` will be used.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`dir` : | the new direction

### enum GtkTextDirection

    typedef enum {
      GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE,
      GTK_TEXT_DIR_LTR,

`GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL` |

### gtk_widget_get_direction ()

    GtkTextDirection    gtk_widget_get_direction            (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the reading direction for a particular widget. See `gtk_widget_set_direction()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the reading direction for the widget.

### gtk_widget_set_default_direction ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_default_direction    (GtkTextDirection dir);

Sets the default reading direction for widgets where the direction has not been explicitly set by `gtk_widget_set_direction()`.

`dir` : | the new default direction. This cannot be `GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE`.

### gtk_widget_get_default_direction ()

    GtkTextDirection    gtk_widget_get_default_direction    (void);

Obtains the current default reading direction. See `gtk_widget_set_default_direction()`.

Returns : | the current default direction.

### gtk_widget_shape_combine_region ()

Sets a shape for this widget's GDK window. This allows for transparent windows etc., see `gdk_window_shape_combine_region()` for more information.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`region` : | shape to be added, or `NULL` to remove an existing shape. [allow-none]

Since 3.0

### gtk_widget_input_shape_combine_region ()

Sets an input shape for this widget's GDK window. This allows for windows which react to mouse click in a nonrectangular region, see `gdk_window_input_shape_combine_region()` for more information.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`region` : | shape to be added, or `NULL` to remove an existing shape. [allow-none]

### gtk_widget_path ()

    void                gtk_widget_path                     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             guint *path_length,

### Warning

`gtk_widget_path` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_get_path()` instead

Obtains the full path to `widget`. The path is simply the name of a widget and all its parents in the container hierarchy, separated by periods. The name of a widget comes from `gtk_widget_get_name()`. Paths are used to apply styles to a widget in gtkrc configuration files. Widget names are the type of the widget by default (e.g. "GtkButton") or can be set to an application-specific value with `gtk_widget_set_name()`. By setting the name of a widget, you allow users or theme authors to apply styles to that specific widget in their gtkrc file. `path_reversed_p` fills in the path in reverse order, i.e. starting with `widget`'s name instead of starting with the name of `widget`'s outermost ancestor.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`path_length` : | location to store length of the path, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]
`path` : | location to store allocated path string, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]

### Warning

`gtk_widget_class_path` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_get_path()` instead

Same as `gtk_widget_path()`, but always uses the name of a widget's type, never uses a custom name set with `gtk_widget_set_name()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`path_length` : | location to store the length of the class path, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]
`path` : | location to store the class path as an allocated string, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]

### gtk_widget_get_composite_name ()

    gchar *             gtk_widget_get_composite_name       (GtkWidget *widget);

Obtains the composite name of a widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the composite name of `widget`, or `NULL` if `widget` is not a composite child. The string should be freed when it is no longer needed.

### gtk_widget_override_background_color ()

    void                gtk_widget_override_background_color
                                                            (GtkWidget *widget,

Sets the color to use for a widget.

All other style values are left untouched.

### Note

This API is mostly meant as a quick way for applications to change a widget appearance. If you are developing a widgets library and intend this change to be themeable, it is better done by setting meaningful CSS classes and regions in your widget/container implementation through `gtk_style_context_add_class()` and `gtk_style_context_add_region()`.

This way, your widget library can install a GtkCssProvider with the `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK` priority in order to provide a default styling for those widgets that need so, and this theming may fully overridden by the user's theme.

### Note

Note that for complex widgets this may bring in undesired results (such as uniform background color everywhere), in these cases it is better to fully style such widgets through a GtkCssProvider with the `GTK_STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_APPLICATION` priority.

### gtk_widget_override_cursor ()

    void                gtk_widget_override_cursor          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const GdkRGBA *cursor,

Sets the cursor color to use in a widget, overriding the "cursor-color" and "secondary-cursor-color" style properties. All other style values are left untouched. See also `gtk_widget_modify_style()`.

Note that the underlying properties have the GdkColor type, so the alpha value in `primary` and `secondary` will be ignored.

### Warning

`gtk_widget_modify_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext with a custom GtkStyleProvider instead

Modifies style values on the widget.

Modifications made using this technique take precedence over style values set via an RC file, however, they will be overridden if a style is explicitely set on the widget using `gtk_widget_set_style()`. The GtkRcStyle structure is designed so each field can either be set or unset, so it is possible, using this function, to modify some style values and leave the others unchanged.

Note that modifications made with this function are not cumulative with previous calls to `gtk_widget_modify_style()` or with such functions as `gtk_widget_modify_fg()`. If you wish to retain previous values, you must first call `gtk_widget_get_modifier_style()`, make your modifications to the returned style, then call `gtk_widget_modify_style()` with that style. On the other hand, if you first call `gtk_widget_modify_style()`, subsequent calls to such functions `gtk_widget_modify_fg()` will have a cumulative effect with the initial modifications.

### gtk_widget_get_modifier_style ()

    GtkRcStyle *        gtk_widget_get_modifier_style       (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_modifier_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext with a custom GtkStyleProvider instead

Returns the current modifier style for the widget. (As set by `gtk_widget_modify_style()`.) If no style has previously set, a new GtkRcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call `gtk_widget_modify_style()`, passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

Caution: passing the style back to `gtk_widget_modify_style()` will normally end up destroying it, because `gtk_widget_modify_style()` copies the passed-in style and sets the copy as the new modifier style, thus dropping any reference to the old modifier style. Add a reference to the modifier style if you want to keep it alive.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the modifier style for the widget. This rc style is owned by the widget. If you want to keep a pointer to value this around, you must add a refcount using `g_object_ref()`. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_modify_fg ()

### Warning

`gtk_widget_modify_bg` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_override_background_color()` instead

Sets the background color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. See also `gtk_widget_modify_style()`.

### Note

Note that "no window" widgets (which have the `GTK_NO_WINDOW` flag set) draw on their parent container's window and thus may not draw any background themselves. This is the case for e.g. GtkLabel.

To modify the background of such widgets, you have to set the background color on their parent; if you want to set the background of a rectangular area around a label, try placing the label in a GtkEventBox widget and setting the background color on that.

### Warning

`gtk_widget_modify_text` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_override_color()` instead

Sets the text color for a widget in a particular state.

All other style values are left untouched. The text color is the foreground color used along with the base color (see `gtk_widget_modify_base()`) for widgets such as GtkEntry and GtkTextView. See also `gtk_widget_modify_style()`.

### gtk_widget_create_pango_context ()

    PangoContext *      gtk_widget_create_pango_context     (GtkWidget *widget);

Creates a new PangoContext with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget. See also `gtk_widget_get_pango_context()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the new PangoContext. [transfer full]

### gtk_widget_get_pango_context ()

    PangoContext *      gtk_widget_get_pango_context        (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets a PangoContext with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for this widget. Unlike the context returned by `gtk_widget_create_pango_context()`, this context is owned by the widget (it can be used until the screen for the widget changes or the widget is removed from its toplevel), and will be updated to match any changes to the widget's attributes.

If you create and keep a PangoLayout using this context, you must deal with changes to the context by calling `pango_layout_context_changed()` on the layout in response to the "style-updated" and "direction-changed" signals for the widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the PangoContext for the widget. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_create_pango_layout ()

    PangoLayout *       gtk_widget_create_pango_layout      (GtkWidget *widget,

Creates a new PangoLayout with the appropriate font map, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

If you keep a PangoLayout created in this way around, in order to notify the layout of changes to the base direction or font of this widget, you must call `pango_layout_context_changed()` in response to the "style-updated" and "direction-changed" signals for the widget.

### Warning

`gtk_widget_render_icon` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use `gtk_widget_render_icon_pixbuf()` instead.

A convenience function that uses the theme settings for `widget` to look up `stock_id` and render it to a pixbuf. `stock_id` should be a stock icon ID such as GTK_STOCK_OPEN or GTK_STOCK_OK. `size` should be a size such as GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU. `detail` should be a string that identifies the widget or code doing the rendering, so that theme engines can special-case rendering for that widget or code.

The pixels in the returned GdkPixbuf are shared with the rest of the application and should not be modified. The pixbuf should be freed after use with `g_object_unref()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`stock_id` : | a stock ID
`size` : | a stock size. A size of (GtkIconSize)-1 means render at the size of the source and don't scale (if there are multiple source sizes, GTK+ picks one of the available sizes). [type int]

### gtk_widget_pop_composite_child ()

    void                gtk_widget_pop_composite_child      (void);

Cancels the effect of a previous call to `gtk_widget_push_composite_child()`.

### gtk_widget_push_composite_child ()

    void                gtk_widget_push_composite_child     (void);

Makes all newly-created widgets as composite children until the corresponding `gtk_widget_pop_composite_child()` call.

A composite child is a child that's an implementation detail of the container it's inside and should not be visible to people using the container. Composite children aren't treated differently by GTK (but see `gtk_container_foreach()` vs. `gtk_container_forall()`), but e.g. GUI builders might want to treat them in a different way.

Here is a simple example:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    gtk_widget_push_composite_child ();
    scrolled_window->hscrollbar = gtk_scrollbar_new (GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL, hadjustment);
    gtk_widget_set_composite_name (scrolled_window->hscrollbar, "hscrollbar");
    gtk_widget_pop_composite_child ();
    gtk_widget_set_parent (scrolled_window->hscrollbar,
                           GTK_WIDGET (scrolled_window));
    g_object_ref (scrolled_window->hscrollbar);

### gtk_widget_queue_draw_area ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_draw_area          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint x,
                                                             gint y,
                                                             gint width,
                                                             gint height);

Convenience function that calls `gtk_widget_queue_draw_region()` on the region created from the given coordinates.

The region here is specified in widget coordinates. Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as `widget->window` coordinates for widgets that are not GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets, and are relative to `widget->allocation.x`, `widget->allocation.y` for widgets that are GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | x coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`y` : | y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`width` : | width of region to draw
`height` : | height of region to draw

### gtk_widget_queue_draw_region ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_draw_region        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const cairo_region_t *region);

Invalidates the rectangular area of `widget` defined by `region` by calling `gdk_window_invalidate_region()` on the widget's window and all its child windows. Once the main loop becomes idle (after the current batch of events has been processed, roughly), the window will receive expose events for the union of all regions that have been invalidated.

Normally you would only use this function in widget implementations. You might also use it to schedule a redraw of a GtkDrawingArea or some portion thereof.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`region` : | region to draw

### gtk_widget_set_app_paintable ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_app_paintable        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean app_paintable);

Sets whether the application intends to draw on the widget in an "draw" handler.

This is a hint to the widget and does not affect the behavior of the GTK+ core; many widgets ignore this flag entirely. For widgets that do pay attention to the flag, such as GtkEventBox and GtkWindow, the effect is to suppress default themed drawing of the widget's background. (Children of the widget will still be drawn.) The application is then entirely responsible for drawing the widget background.

Note that the background is still drawn when the widget is mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`app_paintable` : | `TRUE` if the application will paint on the widget

### gtk_widget_set_double_buffered ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_double_buffered      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean double_buffered);

Widgets are double buffered by default; you can use this function to turn off the buffering. "Double buffered" simply means that `gdk_window_begin_paint_region()` and `gdk_window_end_paint()` are called automatically around expose events sent to the widget. `gdk_window_begin_paint_region()` diverts all drawing to a widget's window to an offscreen buffer, and `gdk_window_end_paint()` draws the buffer to the screen. The result is that users see the window update in one smooth step, and don't see individual graphics primitives being rendered.

In very simple terms, double buffered widgets don't flicker, so you would only use this function to turn off double buffering if you had special needs and really knew what you were doing.

Note: if you turn off double-buffering, you have to handle expose events, since even the clearing to the background color or pixmap will not happen automatically (as it is done in `gdk_window_begin_paint_region()`).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`double_buffered` : | `TRUE` to double-buffer a widget

### gtk_widget_set_redraw_on_allocate ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_redraw_on_allocate   (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean redraw_on_allocate);

Sets whether the entire widget is queued for drawing when its size allocation changes. By default, this setting is `TRUE` and the entire widget is redrawn on every size change. If your widget leaves the upper left unchanged when made bigger, turning this setting off will improve performance.

Note that for `NO_WINDOW` widgets setting this flag to `FALSE` turns off all allocation on resizing: the widget will not even redraw if its position changes; this is to allow containers that don't draw anything to avoid excess invalidations. If you set this flag on a `NO_WINDOW` widget that does draw on `widget->window`, you are responsible for invalidating both the old and new allocation of the widget when the widget is moved and responsible for invalidating regions newly when the widget increases size.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`redraw_on_allocate` : | if `TRUE`, the entire widget will be redrawn when it is allocated to a new size. Otherwise, only the new portion of the widget will be redrawn.

### gtk_widget_set_composite_name ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_composite_name       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const gchar *name);

Sets a widgets composite name. The widget must be a composite child of its parent; see `gtk_widget_push_composite_child()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
`name` : | the name to set

### gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean group_cycling);

Emits the "mnemonic-activate" signal.

The default handler for this signal activates the `widget` if `group_cycling` is `FALSE`, and just grabs the focus if `group_cycling` is `TRUE`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`group_cycling` : | `TRUE` if there are other widgets with the same mnemonic
Returns : | `TRUE` if the signal has been handled

### gtk_widget_class_install_style_property ()

    void                gtk_widget_class_install_style_property
                                                            (GtkWidgetClass *klass,

### gtk_widget_region_intersect ()

    cairo_region_t *    gtk_widget_region_intersect         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const cairo_region_t *region);

Computes the intersection of a `widget`'s area and `region`, returning the intersection. The result may be empty, use `cairo_region_is_empty()` to check.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`region` : | a cairo_region_t, in the same coordinate system as `widget->allocation`. That is, relative to `widget->window` for `NO_WINDOW` widgets; relative to the parent window of `widget->window` for widgets with their own window.
Returns : | A newly allocated region holding the intersection of `widget` and `region`. The coordinates of the return value are relative to `widget->window` for `NO_WINDOW` widgets, and relative to the parent window of `widget->window` for widgets with their own window.

### gtk_widget_send_expose ()

    gint                gtk_widget_send_expose              (GtkWidget *widget,

Very rarely-used function. This function is used to emit an expose event on a widget. This function is not normally used directly. The only time it is used is when propagating an expose event to a child `NO_WINDOW` widget, and that is normally done using `gtk_container_propagate_draw()`.

If you want to force an area of a window to be redrawn, use `gdk_window_invalidate_rect()` or `gdk_window_invalidate_region()`. To cause the redraw to be done immediately, follow that call with a call to `gdk_window_process_updates()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`event` : | a expose GdkEvent
Returns : | return from the event signal emission (`TRUE` if the event was handled)

### gtk_widget_send_focus_change ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_send_focus_change        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkEvent *event);

Sends the focus change `event` to `widget`

This function is not meant to be used by applications. The only time it should be used is when it is necessary for a GtkWidget to assign focus to a widget that is semantically owned by the first widget even though it's not a direct child - for instance, a search entry in a floating window similar to the quick search in GtkTreeView.

An example of its usage is:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    GdkEvent *fevent = gdk_event_new (GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE);

    fevent->focus_change.type = GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE;
    fevent->focus_change.in = TRUE;
    fevent->focus_change.window = gtk_widget_get_window (widget);
    if (fevent->focus_change.window != NULL)
      g_object_ref (fevent->focus_change.window);

    gtk_widget_send_focus_change (widget, fevent);

    gdk_event_free (event);

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`event` : | a GdkEvent of type GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE
Returns : | the return value from the event signal emission: `TRUE` if the event was handled, and `FALSE` otherwise

Non-vararg variant of `gtk_widget_style_get()`. Used primarily by language bindings.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`first_property_name` : | the name of the first property to get
`var_args` : | a va_list of pairs of property names and locations to return the property values, starting with the location for `first_property_name`.

### gtk_widget_style_attach ()

    void                gtk_widget_style_attach             (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_style_attach` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 3.0. This step is unnecessary with GtkStyleContext.

This function attaches the widget's GtkStyle to the widget's GdkWindow. It is a replacement for

    widget->style = gtk_style_attach (widget->style, widget->window);

and should only ever be called in a derived widget's "realize" implementation which does not chain up to its parent class' "realize" implementation, because one of the parent classes (finally GtkWidget) would attach the style itself.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

Since 2.20

### gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_type ()

    void                gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_type
                                                            (GtkWidgetClass *widget_class,
                                                             GType type);

Sets the type to be used for creating accessibles for widgets of `widget_class`. The given `type` must be a subtype of the type used for accessibles of the parent class.

This function should only be called from class init functions of widgets.

`widget_class` : | class to set the accessible type for
`type` : | The object type that implements the accessible for `widget_class`

Since 3.2

### gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_role ()

    void                gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_role
                                                            (GtkWidgetClass *widget_class,
                                                             AtkRole role);

Sets the default AtkRole to be set on accessibles created for widgets of `widget_class`. Accessibles may decide to not honor this setting if their role reporting is more refined. Calls to `gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_type()` will reset this value.

In cases where you want more fine-grained control over the role of accessibles created for `widget_class`, you should provide your own accessible type and use `gtk_widget_class_set_accessible_type()` instead.

If `role` is ATK_ROLE_INVALID, the default role will not be changed and the accessible's default role will be used instead.

This function should only be called from class init functions of widgets.

`widget_class` : | class to set the accessible role for
`role` : | The role to use for accessibles created for `widget_class`

Since 3.2

### gtk_widget_get_accessible ()

    AtkObject *         gtk_widget_get_accessible           (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the accessible object that describes the widget to an assistive technology.

If accessibility support is not available, this AtkObject instance may be a no-op. Likewise, if no class-specific AtkObject implementation is available for the widget instance in question, it will inherit an AtkObject implementation from the first ancestor class for which such an implementation is defined.

The documentation of the ATK library contains more information about accessible objects and their uses.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the AtkObject associated with `widget`. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_child_focus ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_child_focus              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkDirectionType direction);

This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're writing an app, you'd use `gtk_widget_grab_focus()` to move the focus to a particular widget, and `gtk_container_set_focus_chain()` to change the focus tab order. So you may want to investigate those functions instead.

`gtk_widget_child_focus()` is called by containers as the user moves around the window using keyboard shortcuts. `direction` indicates what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab forward, tab backward). `gtk_widget_child_focus()` emits the "focus" signal; widgets override the default handler for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.

The default ::focus handler for a widget should return `TRUE` if moving in `direction` left the focus on a focusable location inside that widget, and `FALSE` if moving in `direction` moved the focus outside the widget. If returning `TRUE`, widgets normally call `gtk_widget_grab_focus()` to place the focus accordingly; if returning `FALSE`, they don't modify the current focus location.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`direction` : | direction of focus movement
Returns : | `TRUE` if focus ended up inside `widget`

### gtk_widget_child_notify ()

    void                gtk_widget_child_notify             (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             const gchar *child_property);

Emits a "child-notify" signal for the child property `child_property` on `widget`.

This is the analogue of `g_object_notify()` for child properties.

Also see `gtk_container_child_notify()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`child_property` : | the name of a child property installed on the class of `widget`'s parent

### gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify ()

    void                gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify      (GtkWidget *widget);

Stops emission of "child-notify" signals on `widget`. The signals are queued until `gtk_widget_thaw_child_notify()` is called on `widget`.

This is the analogue of `g_object_freeze_notify()` for child properties.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_get_child_visible ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_child_visible        (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the value set with `gtk_widget_set_child_visible()`. If you feel a need to use this function, your code probably needs reorganization.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is mapped with the parent.

### gtk_widget_get_parent ()

    GtkWidget *         gtk_widget_get_parent               (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the parent container of `widget`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the parent container of `widget`, or `NULL`. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_get_settings ()

    GtkSettings *       gtk_widget_get_settings             (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the settings object holding the settings used for this widget.

Note that this function can only be called when the GtkWidget is attached to a toplevel, since the settings object is specific to a particular GdkScreen.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the relevant GtkSettings object. [transfer none]

### gtk_widget_get_clipboard ()

    GtkClipboard *      gtk_widget_get_clipboard            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GdkAtom selection);

Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with `widget`. `widget` must have a GdkDisplay associated with it, so must be attached to a toplevel window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`selection` : | a GdkAtom which identifies the clipboard to use. `GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD` gives the default clipboard. Another common value is `GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY`, which gives the primary X selection.
Returns : | the appropriate clipboard object. If no clipboard already exists, a new one will be created. Once a clipboard object has been created, it is persistent for all time. [transfer none]

Since 2.2

### gtk_widget_get_display ()

    GdkDisplay *        gtk_widget_get_display              (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the GdkDisplay for the toplevel window associated with this widget. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a GtkWindow at the top.

In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkDisplay for the toplevel for this widget. [transfer none]

Since 2.2

### gtk_widget_get_root_window ()

    GdkWindow *         gtk_widget_get_root_window          (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the root window where this widget is located. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with GtkWindow at the top.

The root window is useful for such purposes as creating a popup GdkWindow associated with the window. In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkWindow root window for the toplevel for this widget. [transfer none]

Since 2.2

### gtk_widget_get_screen ()

    GdkScreen *         gtk_widget_get_screen               (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the GdkScreen from the toplevel window associated with this widget. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a GtkWindow at the top.

In general, you should only create screen specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkScreen for the toplevel for this widget. [transfer none]

Since 2.2

### gtk_widget_has_screen ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_has_screen               (GtkWidget *widget);

Checks whether there is a GdkScreen is associated with this widget. All toplevel widgets have an associated screen, and all widgets added into a hierarchy with a toplevel window at the top.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if there is a GdkScreen associcated with the widget.

Since 2.2

### gtk_widget_get_size_request ()

    void                gtk_widget_get_size_request         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint *width,
                                                             gint *height);

Gets the size request that was explicitly set for the widget using `gtk_widget_set_size_request()`. A value of -1 stored in `width` or `height` indicates that that dimension has not been set explicitly and the natural requisition of the widget will be used intead. See `gtk_widget_set_size_request()`. To get the size a widget will actually request, call `gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()` instead of this function.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`width` : | return location for width, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]
`height` : | return location for height, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]

### gtk_widget_set_child_visible ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_child_visible        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean is_visible);

Sets whether `widget` should be mapped along with its when its parent is mapped and `widget` has been shown with `gtk_widget_show()`.

The child visibility can be set for widget before it is added to a container with `gtk_widget_set_parent()`, to avoid mapping children unnecessary before immediately unmapping them. However it will be reset to its default state of `TRUE` when the widget is removed from a container.

Note that changing the child visibility of a widget does not queue a resize on the widget. Most of the time, the size of a widget is computed from all visible children, whether or not they are mapped. If this is not the case, the container can queue a resize itself.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`is_visible` : | if `TRUE`, `widget` should be mapped along with its parent.

### gtk_widget_set_size_request ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_size_request         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gint width,
                                                             gint height);

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size request will be at least `width` by `height`. You can use this function to force a widget to be larger than it normally would be.

In most cases, `gtk_window_set_default_size()` is a better choice for toplevel windows than this function; setting the default size will still allow users to shrink the window. Setting the size request will force them to leave the window at least as large as the size request. When dealing with window sizes, `gtk_window_set_geometry_hints()` can be a useful function as well.

Note the inherent danger of setting any fixed size - themes, translations into other languages, different fonts, and user action can all change the appropriate size for a given widget. So, it's basically impossible to hardcode a size that will always be correct.

The size request of a widget is the smallest size a widget can accept while still functioning well and drawing itself correctly. However in some strange cases a widget may be allocated less than its requested size, and in many cases a widget may be allocated more space than it requested.

If the size request in a given direction is -1 (unset), then the "natural" size request of the widget will be used instead.

The size request set here does not include any margin from the GtkWidget properties margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, and margin-bottom, but it does include pretty much all other padding or border properties set by any subclass of GtkWidget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`width` : | width `widget` should request, or -1 to unset
`height` : | height `widget` should request, or -1 to unset

### gtk_widget_thaw_child_notify ()

    void                gtk_widget_thaw_child_notify        (GtkWidget *widget);

Reverts the effect of a previous call to `gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify()`. This causes all queued "child-notify" signals on `widget` to be emitted.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_set_no_show_all ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_no_show_all          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean no_show_all);

Sets the "no-show-all" property, which determines whether calls to `gtk_widget_show_all()` will affect this widget.

This is mostly for use in constructing widget hierarchies with externally controlled visibility, see GtkUIManager.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`no_show_all` : | the new value for the "no-show-all" property

Since 2.4

### gtk_widget_get_no_show_all ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_no_show_all          (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the current value of the "no-show-all" property, which determines whether calls to `gtk_widget_show_all()` will affect this widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the current value of the "no-show-all" property.

Since 2.4

### gtk_widget_list_mnemonic_labels ()

    GList *             gtk_widget_list_mnemonic_labels     (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns a newly allocated list of the widgets, normally labels, for which this widget is the target of a mnemonic (see for example, `gtk_label_set_mnemonic_widget()`).

The widgets in the list are not individually referenced. If you want to iterate through the list and perform actions involving callbacks that might destroy the widgets, you must call `g_list_foreach (result, (GFunc)g_object_ref, NULL)` first, and then unref all the widgets afterwards.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the list of mnemonic labels; free this list with `g_list_free()` when you are done with it. [element-type GtkWidget][transfer container]

Since 2.4

### gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label ()

    void                gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkWidget *label);

Adds a widget to the list of mnemonic labels for this widget. (See `gtk_widget_list_mnemonic_labels()`). Note the list of mnemonic labels for the widget is cleared when the widget is destroyed, so the caller must make sure to update its internal state at this point as well, by using a connection to the "destroy" signal or a weak notifier.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`label` : | a GtkWidget that acts as a mnemonic label for `widget`

                                                             GtkWidget *label);

Removes a widget from the list of mnemonic labels for this widget. (See `gtk_widget_list_mnemonic_labels()`). The widget must have previously been added to the list with `gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`label` : | a GtkWidget that was previously set as a mnemnic label for `widget` with `gtk_widget_add_mnemonic_label()`.

### gtk_widget_is_composited ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_is_composited            (GtkWidget *widget);

Whether `widget` can rely on having its alpha channel drawn correctly. On X11 this function returns whether a compositing manager is running for `widget`'s screen.

Please note that the semantics of this call will change in the future if used on a widget that has a composited window in its hierarchy (as set by `gdk_window_set_composited()`).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget can rely on its alpha channel being drawn correctly.

### gtk_widget_error_bell ()

    void                gtk_widget_error_bell               (GtkWidget *widget);

Notifies the user about an input-related error on this widget. If the "gtk-error-bell" setting is `TRUE`, it calls `gdk_window_beep()`, otherwise it does nothing.

Note that the effect of `gdk_window_beep()` can be configured in many ways, depending on the windowing backend and the desktop environment or window manager that is used.

### gtk_widget_keynav_failed ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_keynav_failed            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkDirectionType direction);

This function should be called whenever keyboard navigation within a single widget hits a boundary. The function emits the "keynav-failed" signal on the widget and its return value should be interpreted in a way similar to the return value of `gtk_widget_child_focus()`:

When `TRUE` is returned, stay in the widget, the failed keyboard navigation is Ok and/or there is nowhere we can/should move the focus to.

When `FALSE` is returned, the caller should continue with keyboard navigation outside the widget, e.g. by calling `gtk_widget_child_focus()` on the widget's toplevel.

The default ::keynav-failed handler returns `TRUE` for `GTK_DIR_TAB_FORWARD` and `GTK_DIR_TAB_BACKWARD`. For the other values of GtkDirectionType, it looks at the "gtk-keynav-cursor-only" setting and returns `FALSE` if the setting is `TRUE`. This way the entire user interface becomes cursor-navigatable on input devices such as mobile phones which only have cursor keys but no tab key.

Whenever the default handler returns `TRUE`, it also calls `gtk_widget_error_bell()` to notify the user of the failed keyboard navigation.

A use case for providing an own implementation of ::keynav-failed (either by connecting to it or by overriding it) would be a row of GtkEntry widgets where the user should be able to navigate the entire row with the cursor keys, as e.g. known from user interfaces that require entering license keys.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`direction` : | direction of focus movement
Returns : | `TRUE` if stopping keyboard navigation is fine, `FALSE` if the emitting widget should try to handle the keyboard navigation attempt in its parent container(s).

### gtk_widget_get_tooltip_window ()

    GtkWindow *         gtk_widget_get_tooltip_window       (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the GtkWindow of the current tooltip. This can be the GtkWindow created by default, or the custom tooltip window set using `gtk_widget_set_tooltip_window()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | The GtkWindow of the current tooltip. [transfer none]

Replaces the default, usually yellow, window used for displaying tooltips with `custom_window`. GTK+ will take care of showing and hiding `custom_window` at the right moment, to behave likewise as the default tooltip window. If `custom_window` is `NULL`, the default tooltip window will be used.

If the custom window should have the default theming it needs to have the name "gtk-tooltip", see `gtk_widget_set_name()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`custom_window` : | a GtkWindow, or `NULL`. [allow-none]

This function is supposed to be called in "draw" implementations for widgets that support multiple windows. `cr` must be untransformed from invoking of the draw function. This function will return `TRUE` if the contents of the given `window` are supposed to be drawn and `FALSE` otherwise. Note that when the drawing was not initiated by the windowing system this function will return `TRUE` for all windows, so you need to draw the bottommost window first. Also, do not use "else if" statements to check which window should be drawn.

`cr` : | a cairo context
`window` : | the window to check. `window` may not be an input-only window.
Returns : | `TRUE` if `window` should be drawn

Transforms the given cairo context `cr` that from `widget`-relative coordinates to `window`-relative coordinates. If the `widget`'s window is not an ancestor of `window`, no modification will be applied.

This is the inverse to the transformation GTK applies when preparing an expose event to be emitted with the "draw" signal. It is intended to help porting multiwindow widgets from GTK+ 2 to the rendering architecture of GTK+ 3.

`cr` : | the cairo context to transform
`widget` : | the widget the context is currently centered for
`window` : | the window to transform the context to

### gtk_widget_get_allocated_width ()

    int                 gtk_widget_get_allocated_width      (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the width that has currently been allocated to `widget`. This function is intended to be used when implementing handlers for the "draw" function.

`widget` : | the widget to query
Returns : | the width of the `widget`

### gtk_widget_get_allocated_height ()

    int                 gtk_widget_get_allocated_height     (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the height that has currently been allocated to `widget`. This function is intended to be used when implementing handlers for the "draw" function.

`widget` : | the widget to query
Returns : | the height of the `widget`

### gtk_widget_get_allocation ()

    void                gtk_widget_get_allocation           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkAllocation *allocation);

Retrieves the widget's allocation.

Note, when implementing a GtkContainer: a widget's allocation will be its "adjusted" allocation, that is, the widget's parent container typically calls `gtk_widget_size_allocate()` with an allocation, and that allocation is then adjusted (to handle margin and alignment for example) before assignment to the widget. `gtk_widget_get_allocation()` returns the adjusted allocation that was actually assigned to the widget. The adjusted allocation is guaranteed to be completely contained within the `gtk_widget_size_allocate()` allocation, however. So a GtkContainer is guaranteed that its children stay inside the assigned bounds, but not that they have exactly the bounds the container assigned. There is no way to get the original allocation assigned by `gtk_widget_size_allocate()`, since it isn't stored; if a container implementation needs that information it will have to track it itself.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`allocation` : | a pointer to a GtkAllocation to copy to. [out]

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_set_allocation ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_allocation           (GtkWidget *widget,

Sets the widget's allocation. This should not be used directly, but from within a widget's size_allocate method.

The allocation set should be the "adjusted" or actual allocation. If you're implementing a GtkContainer, you want to use `gtk_widget_size_allocate()` instead of `gtk_widget_set_allocation()`. The GtkWidgetClass::adjust_size_allocation virtual method adjusts the allocation inside `gtk_widget_size_allocate()` to create an adjusted allocation.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`allocation` : | a pointer to a GtkAllocation to copy from

Specifies whether `widget` has a GdkWindow of its own. Note that all realized widgets have a non-`NULL` "window" pointer (`gtk_widget_get_window()` never returns a `NULL` window when a widget is realized), but for many of them it's actually the GdkWindow of one of its parent widgets. Widgets that do not create a `window` for themselves in "realize" must announce this by calling this function with `has_window` = `FALSE`.

This function should only be called by widget implementations, and they should call it in their `init()` function.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`has_window` : | whether or not `widget` has a window.

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_get_sensitive ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_sensitive            (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the widget's sensitivity (in the sense of returning the value that has been set using `gtk_widget_set_sensitive()`).

The effective sensitivity of a widget is however determined by both its own and its parent widget's sensitivity. See `gtk_widget_is_sensitive()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is sensitive

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_is_sensitive ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_is_sensitive             (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the widget's effective sensitivity, which means it is sensitive itself and also its parent widget is sensitive

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is effectively sensitive

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_get_state ()

    GtkStateType        gtk_widget_get_state                (GtkWidget *widget);

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_state` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. 3.0. Use `gtk_widget_get_state_flags()` instead.

Returns the widget's state. See `gtk_widget_set_state()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the state of `widget`.

### gtk_widget_get_visible ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_visible              (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines whether the widget is visible. Note that this doesn't take into account whether the widget's parent is also visible or the widget is obscured in any way.

See `gtk_widget_set_visible()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is visible

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_set_visible ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_visible              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean visible);

Sets the visibility state of `widget`. Note that setting this to `TRUE` doesn't mean the widget is actually viewable, see `gtk_widget_get_visible()`.

This function simply calls `gtk_widget_show()` or `gtk_widget_hide()` but is nicer to use when the visibility of the widget depends on some condition.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`visible` : | whether the widget should be shown or not

### gtk_widget_set_state_flags ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_state_flags          (GtkWidget *widget,

This function is for use in widget implementations. Turns on flag values in the current widget state (insensitive, prelighted, etc.).

It is worth mentioning that any other state than `GTK_STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE`, will be propagated down to all non-internal children if `widget` is a GtkContainer, while `GTK_STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE` itself will be propagated down to all GtkContainer children by different means than turning on the state flag down the hierarchy, both `gtk_widget_get_state_flags()` and `gtk_widget_is_sensitive()` will make use of these.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`flags` : | State flags to turn on
`clear` : | Whether to clear state before turning on `flags`

### gtk_widget_get_state_flags ()

    GtkStateFlags       gtk_widget_get_state_flags          (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the widget state as a flag set. It is worth mentioning that the effective `GTK_STATE_FLAG_INSENSITIVE` state will be returned, that is, also based on parent insensitivity, even if `widget` itself is sensitive.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | The state flags for widget

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget has the global input focus.

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_has_visible_focus ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_has_visible_focus        (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines if the widget should show a visible indication that it has the global input focus. This is a convenience function for use in ::draw handlers that takes into account whether focus indication should currently be shown in the toplevel window of `widget`. See `gtk_window_get_focus_visible()` for more information about focus indication.

To find out if the widget has the global input focus, use `gtk_widget_has_focus()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget should display a 'focus rectangle'

Since 3.2

### gtk_widget_has_grab ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_has_grab                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines whether the widget is currently grabbing events, so it is the only widget receiving input events (keyboard and mouse).

See also `gtk_grab_add()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is in the grab_widgets stack

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_has_rc_style ()

### Warning

`gtk_widget_has_rc_style` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. Use GtkStyleContext instead

Determines if the widget style has been looked up through the rc mechanism.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget has been looked up through the rc mechanism, `FALSE` otherwise.

### gtk_widget_is_toplevel ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_is_toplevel              (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines whether `widget` is a toplevel widget.

Currently only GtkWindow and GtkInvisible (and out-of-process GtkPlugs) are toplevel widgets. Toplevel widgets have no parent widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if `widget` is a toplevel, `FALSE` otherwise

Since 2.18

### gtk_widget_set_window ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_window               (GtkWidget *widget,

Sets a widget's window. This function should only be used in a widget's "realize" implementation. The `window` passed is usually either new window created with `gdk_window_new()`, or the window of its parent widget as returned by `gtk_widget_get_parent_window()`.

Widgets must indicate whether they will create their own GdkWindow by calling `gtk_widget_set_has_window()`. This is usually done in the widget's `init()` function.

### Note

This function does not add any reference to `window`.

### Warning

`gtk_widget_get_requisition` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code. The GtkRequisition cache on the widget was removed, If you need to cache sizes across requests and allocations, add an explicit cache to the widget in question instead.

Retrieves the widget's requisition.

This function should only be used by widget implementations in order to figure whether the widget's requisition has actually changed after some internal state change (so that they can call `gtk_widget_queue_resize()` instead of `gtk_widget_queue_draw()`).

Normally, `gtk_widget_size_request()` should be used.

    GtkSizeRequestMode  gtk_widget_get_request_mode         (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets whether the widget prefers a height-for-width layout or a width-for-height layout.

### Note

GtkBin widgets generally propagate the preference of their child, container widgets need to request something either in context of their children or in context of their allocation capabilities.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget instance
Returns : | The GtkSizeRequestMode preferred by `widget`.

Since 3.0

### gtk_widget_get_preferred_size ()

    void                gtk_widget_get_preferred_size       (GtkWidget *widget,

Retrieves the minimum and natural size of a widget, taking into account the widget's preference for height-for-width management.

This is used to retrieve a suitable size by container widgets which do not impose any restrictions on the child placement. It can be used to deduce toplevel window and menu sizes as well as child widgets in free-form containers such as GtkLayout.

### Note

Handle with care. Note that the natural height of a height-for-width widget will generally be a smaller size than the minimum height, since the required height for the natural width is generally smaller than the required height for the minimum width.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget instance
`minimum_size` : | location for storing the minimum size, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]
`natural_size` : | location for storing the natural size, or `NULL`. [out][allow-none]

Distributes `extra_space` to child `sizes` by bringing smaller children up to natural size first.

The remaining space will be added to the `minimum_size` member of the GtkRequestedSize struct. If all sizes reach their natural size then the remaining space is returned.

`extra_space` : | Extra space to redistribute among children after subtracting minimum sizes and any child padding from the overall allocation
`n_requested_sizes` : | Number of requests to fit into the allocation
`sizes` : | An array of structs with a client pointer and a minimum/natural size in the orientation of the allocation.
Returns : | The remainder of `extra_space` after redistributing space to `sizes`.

### enum GtkAlign

    typedef enum {
      GTK_ALIGN_FILL,
      GTK_ALIGN_START,
      GTK_ALIGN_END,
      GTK_ALIGN_CENTER
    } GtkAlign;

Controls how a widget deals with extra space in a single (x or y) dimension.

Alignment only matters if the widget receives a "too large" allocation, for example if you packed the widget with the "expand" flag inside a GtkBox, then the widget might get extra space. If you have for example a 16x16 icon inside a 32x32 space, the icon could be scaled and stretched, it could be centered, or it could be positioned to one side of the space.

Note that in horizontal context `GTK_ALIGN_START` and `GTK_ALIGN_END` are interpreted relative to text direction.

`GTK_ALIGN_FILL` | stretch to fill all space if possible, center if no meaningful way to stretch
`GTK_ALIGN_START` | snap to left or top side, leaving space on right or bottom
`GTK_ALIGN_END` | snap to right or bottom side, leaving space on left or top
`GTK_ALIGN_CENTER` | center natural width of widget inside the allocation

### gtk_widget_get_hexpand ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_hexpand              (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets whether the widget would like any available extra horizontal space. When a user resizes a GtkWindow, widgets with expand=TRUE generally receive the extra space. For example, a list or scrollable area or document in your window would often be set to expand.

Containers should use `gtk_widget_compute_expand()` rather than this function, to see whether a widget, or any of its children, has the expand flag set. If any child of a widget wants to expand, the parent may ask to expand also.

This function only looks at the widget's own hexpand flag, rather than computing whether the entire widget tree rooted at this widget wants to expand.

`widget` : | the widget
Returns : | whether hexpand flag is set

### gtk_widget_set_hexpand ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_hexpand              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean expand);

Sets whether the widget would like any available extra horizontal space. When a user resizes a GtkWindow, widgets with expand=TRUE generally receive the extra space. For example, a list or scrollable area or document in your window would often be set to expand.

Call this function to set the expand flag if you would like your widget to become larger horizontally when the window has extra room.

By default, widgets automatically expand if any of their children want to expand. (To see if a widget will automatically expand given its current children and state, call `gtk_widget_compute_expand()`. A container can decide how the expandability of children affects the expansion of the container by overriding the compute_expand virtual method on GtkWidget.).

Setting hexpand explicitly with this function will override the automatic expand behavior.

This function forces the widget to expand or not to expand, regardless of children. The override occurs because `gtk_widget_set_hexpand()` sets the hexpand-set property (see `gtk_widget_set_hexpand_set()`) which causes the widget's hexpand value to be used, rather than looking at children and widget state.

`widget` : | the widget
`expand` : | whether to expand

### gtk_widget_get_hexpand_set ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_hexpand_set          (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets whether `gtk_widget_set_hexpand()` has been used to explicitly set the expand flag on this widget.

If hexpand is set, then it overrides any computed expand value based on child widgets. If hexpand is not set, then the expand value depends on whether any children of the widget would like to expand.

There are few reasons to use this function, but it's here for completeness and consistency.

`widget` : | the widget
Returns : | whether hexpand has been explicitly set

### gtk_widget_set_hexpand_set ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_hexpand_set          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean set);

Sets whether the hexpand flag (see `gtk_widget_get_hexpand()`) will be used.

The hexpand-set property will be set automatically when you call `gtk_widget_set_hexpand()` to set hexpand, so the most likely reason to use this function would be to unset an explicit expand flag.

If hexpand is set, then it overrides any computed expand value based on child widgets. If hexpand is not set, then the expand value depends on whether any children of the widget would like to expand.

There are few reasons to use this function, but it's here for completeness and consistency.

`widget` : | the widget
`set` : | value for hexpand-set property

### gtk_widget_get_vexpand ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_vexpand              (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets whether the widget would like any available extra vertical space.

See `gtk_widget_get_hexpand()` for more detail.

`widget` : | the widget
Returns : | whether vexpand flag is set

### gtk_widget_set_vexpand ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_vexpand              (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean expand);

Sets whether the widget would like any available extra vertical space.

See `gtk_widget_set_hexpand()` for more detail.

`widget` : | the widget
`expand` : | whether to expand

### gtk_widget_get_vexpand_set ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_get_vexpand_set          (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets whether `gtk_widget_set_vexpand()` has been used to explicitly set the expand flag on this widget.

See `gtk_widget_get_hexpand_set()` for more detail.

`widget` : | the widget
Returns : | whether vexpand has been explicitly set

### gtk_widget_set_vexpand_set ()

    void                gtk_widget_set_vexpand_set          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             gboolean set);

Sets whether the vexpand flag (see `gtk_widget_get_vexpand()`) will be used.

See `gtk_widget_set_hexpand_set()` for more detail.

`widget` : | the widget
`set` : | value for vexpand-set property

### gtk_widget_queue_compute_expand ()

    void                gtk_widget_queue_compute_expand     (GtkWidget *widget);

Mark `widget` as needing to recompute its expand flags. Call this function when setting legacy expand child properties on the child of a container.

See `gtk_widget_compute_expand()`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_compute_expand ()

    gboolean            gtk_widget_compute_expand           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                             GtkOrientation orientation);

Computes whether a container should give this widget extra space when possible. Containers should check this, rather than looking at `gtk_widget_get_hexpand()` or `gtk_widget_get_vexpand()`.

This function already checks whether the widget is visible, so visibility does not need to be checked separately. Non-visible widgets are not expanded.

The computed expand value uses either the expand setting explicitly set on the widget itself, or, if none has been explicitly set, the widget may expand if some of its children do.

`widget` : | the widget
`orientation` : | expand direction
Returns : | whether widget tree rooted here should be expanded

The ::configure-event signal will be emitted when the size, position or stacking of the `widget`'s window has changed.

To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK mask. GDK will enable this mask automatically for all new windows.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the GdkEventConfigure which triggered this signal. [type Gdk.EventConfigure]
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

### The `"damage-event"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                            GdkEvent  *event,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Emitted when a redirected window belonging to `widget` gets drawn into. The region/area members of the event shows what area of the redirected drawable was drawn into.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the GdkEventExpose event. [type Gdk.EventExpose]
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

### The `"delete-event"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                            GdkEvent  *event,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

The ::delete-event signal is emitted if a user requests that a toplevel window is closed. The default handler for this signal destroys the window. Connecting `gtk_widget_hide_on_delete()` to this signal will cause the window to be hidden instead, so that it can later be shown again without reconstructing it.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the event which triggered this signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

### The `"destroy"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget *object,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : No Hooks

Signals that all holders of a reference to the widget should release the reference that they hold. May result in finalization of the widget if all references are released.

`object` : | the object which received the signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"destroy-event"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                            GdkEvent  *event,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

The ::destroy-event signal is emitted when a GdkWindow is destroyed. You rarely get this signal, because most widgets disconnect themselves from their window before they destroy it, so no widget owns the window at destroy time.

To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the GDK_STRUCTURE_MASK mask. GDK will enable this mask automatically for all new windows.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal.
`event` : | the event which triggered this signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

### The `"direction-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget       *widget,
                                                            GtkTextDirection previous_direction,
                                                            gpointer         user_data)               : Run First

The ::direction-changed signal is emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

`widget` : | the object on which the signal is emitted
`previous_direction` : | the previous text direction of `widget`
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-begin"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget      *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext *context,
                                                            gpointer        user_data)      : Run Last

The ::drag-begin signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is started. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to set up a custom drag icon with e.g. `gtk_drag_source_set_icon_pixbuf()`.

Note that some widgets set up a drag icon in the default handler of this signal, so you may have to use `g_signal_connect_after()` to override what the default handler did.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-data-delete"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget      *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext *context,
                                                            gpointer        user_data)      : Run Last

The ::drag-data-delete signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag with the action `GDK_ACTION_MOVE` is successfully completed. The signal handler is responsible for deleting the data that has been dropped. What "delete" means depends on the context of the drag operation.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-data-get"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget        *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext   *context,
                                                            GtkSelectionData *data,
                                                            guint             info,
                                                            guint             time,
                                                            gpointer          user_data)      : Run Last

The ::drag-data-get signal is emitted on the drag source when the drop site requests the data which is dragged. It is the responsibility of the signal handler to fill `data` with the data in the format which is indicated by `info`. See `gtk_selection_data_set()` and `gtk_selection_data_set_text()`.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`data` : | the GtkSelectionData to be filled with the dragged data
`info` : | the info that has been registered with the target in the GtkTargetList
`time` : | the timestamp at which the data was requested
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-data-received"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget        *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext   *context,
                                                            gint              x,
                                                            gint              y,
                                                            GtkSelectionData *data,
                                                            guint             info,
                                                            guint             time,
                                                            gpointer          user_data)      : Run Last

The ::drag-data-received signal is emitted on the drop site when the dragged data has been received. If the data was received in order to determine whether the drop will be accepted, the handler is expected to call `gdk_drag_status()` and not finish the drag. If the data was received in response to a "drag-drop" signal (and this is the last target to be received), the handler for this signal is expected to process the received data and then call `gtk_drag_finish()`, setting the `success` parameter depending on whether the data was processed successfully.

The handler may inspect the selected action with `gdk_drag_context_get_selected_action()` before calling `gtk_drag_finish()`, e.g. to implement `GDK_ACTION_ASK` as shown in the following example:

The ::drag-drop signal is emitted on the drop site when the user drops the data onto the widget. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns `FALSE` and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns `TRUE`. In this case, the handler must ensure that `gtk_drag_finish()` is called to let the source know that the drop is done. The call to `gtk_drag_finish()` can be done either directly or in a "drag-data-received" handler which gets triggered by calling `gtk_drag_get_data()` to receive the data for one or more of the supported targets.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`x` : | the x coordinate of the current cursor position
`y` : | the y coordinate of the current cursor position
`time` : | the timestamp of the motion event
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | whether the cursor position is in a drop zone

### The `"drag-end"` signal

The ::drag-end signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag is finished. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in "drag-begin".

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-failed"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget      *widget,

The ::drag-failed signal is emitted on the drag source when a drag has failed. The signal handler may hook custom code to handle a failed DND operation based on the type of error, it returns `TRUE` is the failure has been already handled (not showing the default "drag operation failed" animation), otherwise it returns `FALSE`.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`context` : | the drag context
`result` : | the result of the drag operation
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the failed drag operation has been already handled.

Since 2.12

### The `"drag-leave"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget      *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext *context,

The ::drag-leave signal is emitted on the drop site when the cursor leaves the widget. A typical reason to connect to this signal is to undo things done in "drag-motion", e.g. undo highlighting with `gtk_drag_unhighlight()`

`widget` : | the object which received the signal.
`context` : | the drag context
`time` : | the timestamp of the motion event
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"drag-motion"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget      *widget,
                                                            GdkDragContext *context,
                                                            gint            x,
                                                            gint            y,
                                                            guint           time,
                                                            gpointer        user_data)      : Run Last

The ::drag-motion signal is emitted on the drop site when the user moves the cursor over the widget during a drag. The signal handler must determine whether the cursor position is in a drop zone or not. If it is not in a drop zone, it returns `FALSE` and no further processing is necessary. Otherwise, the handler returns `TRUE`. In this case, the handler is responsible for providing the necessary information for displaying feedback to the user, by calling `gdk_drag_status()`.

If the decision whether the drop will be accepted or rejected can't be made based solely on the cursor position and the type of the data, the handler may inspect the dragged data by calling `gtk_drag_get_data()` and defer the `gdk_drag_status()` call to the "drag-data-received" handler. Note that you cannot not pass GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP, GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION or GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL to `gtk_drag_dest_set()` when using the drag-motion signal that way.

Also note that there is no drag-enter signal. The drag receiver has to keep track of whether he has received any drag-motion signals since the last "drag-leave" and if not, treat the drag-motion signal as an "enter" signal. Upon an "enter", the handler will typically highlight the drop site with `gtk_drag_highlight()`.

### The `"draw"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget    *widget,
                                                            CairoContext *cr,

This signal is emitted when a widget is supposed to render itself. The `widget`'s top left corner must be painted at the origin of the passed in context and be sized to the values returned by `gtk_widget_get_allocated_width()` and `gtk_widget_get_allocated_height()`.

Signal handlers connected to this signal can modify the cairo context passed as `cr` in any way they like and don't need to restore it. The signal emission takes care of calling `cairo_save()` before and `cairo_restore()` after invoking the handler.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`cr` : | the cairo context to draw to
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. % `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

Since 3.0

### The `"enter-notify-event"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkWidget *widget,

The ::enter-notify-event will be emitted when the pointer enters the `widget`'s window.

To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the GDK_ENTER_NOTIFY_MASK mask.

This signal will be sent to the grab widget if there is one.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the GdkEventCrossing which triggered this signal. [type Gdk.EventCrossing]
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

The GTK+ main loop will emit three signals for each GDK event delivered to a widget: one generic ::event signal, another, more specific, signal that matches the type of event delivered (e.g. "key-press-event") and finally a generic "event-after" signal.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal.
`event` : | the GdkEvent which triggered this signal
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event and to cancel the emission of the second specific ::event signal. `FALSE` to propagate the event further and to allow the emission of the second signal. The ::event-after signal is emitted regardless of the return value.

### The `"event-after"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                            GdkEvent  *event,

The ::focus-out-event signal will be emitted when the keyboard focus leaves the `widget`'s window.

To receive this signal, the GdkWindow associated to the widget needs to enable the GDK_FOCUS_CHANGE_MASK mask.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the GdkEventFocus which triggered this signal. [type Gdk.EventFocus]
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Emitted when a pointer or keyboard grab on a window belonging to `widget` gets broken.

On X11, this happens when the grab window becomes unviewable (i.e. it or one of its ancestors is unmapped), or if the same application grabs the pointer or keyboard again.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`event` : | the GdkEventGrabBroken event. [type Gdk.EventGrabBroken]
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Emitted when "has-tooltip" is `TRUE` and the "gtk-tooltip-timeout" has expired with the cursor hovering "above" `widget`; or emitted when `widget` got focus in keyboard mode.

Using the given coordinates, the signal handler should determine whether a tooltip should be shown for `widget`. If this is the case `TRUE` should be returned, `FALSE` otherwise. Note that if `keyboard_mode` is `TRUE`, the values of `x` and `y` are undefined and should not be used.

The signal handler is free to manipulate `tooltip` with the therefore destined function calls.

`widget` : | the object which received the signal
`x` : | the x coordinate of the cursor position where the request has been emitted, relative to `widget`'s left side
`y` : | the y coordinate of the cursor position where the request has been emitted, relative to `widget`'s top
`keyboard_mode` : | `TRUE` if the tooltip was trigged using the keyboard
`tooltip` : | a GtkTooltip
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
Returns : | `TRUE` if `tooltip` should be shown right now, `FALSE` otherwise.
