## Detailed Description

Abstract base class for mouse/single-touch gestures.

This is a subclass of Gesture, optimized (although not restricted) for dealing with mouse and single-touch gestures. Under interaction, these gestures stick to the first interacting sequence, which is accessible through get_current_sequence() while the gesture is being interacted with.

By default gestures only react to touch events. set_touch_only() can be used to change this default behavior. Callers may also specify a mouse button number to interact with through set_button().

Since gtkmm 3.14:

There is no create() method that corresponds to this constructor, because only derived classes shall be created.

## Member Function Documentation

unsigned int Gtk::GestureSingle::get_button | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the button number gesture listens for, or 0 if gesture reacts to any button press.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns

Returns
  The current button number.

GdkEventSequence* Gtk::GestureSingle::get_current_sequence | ( |  | ) |

Returns
  The current sequence.

const GdkEventSequence* Gtk::GestureSingle::get_current_sequence | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the event sequence currently interacting with gesture.

This is only meaningful if is_active() returns `true`.

Returns
  The current sequence.

bool Gtk::GestureSingle::get_exclusive | ( |  | ) | const

Gets whether a gesture is exclusive.

For more information, see set_exclusive().

Since gtkmm 3.14:

GtkGestureSingle* Gtk::GestureSingle::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GtkGestureSingle* Gtk::GestureSingle::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GtkGestureSingle* Gtk::GestureSingle::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

GestureSingle& Gtk::GestureSingle::operator= | ( | GestureSingle&& | src | ) |

noexcept

Glib::PropertyProxy< unsigned int > Gtk::GestureSingle::property_button | ( |  | ) |

Mouse button number to listen to, or 0 to listen for any button.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< unsigned int > Gtk::GestureSingle::property_button | ( |  | ) | const

Mouse button number to listen to, or 0 to listen for any button.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy< bool > Gtk::GestureSingle::property_exclusive | ( |  | ) |

Whether the gesture is exclusive.

Exclusive gestures only listen to pointer and pointer emulated events.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::GestureSingle::property_exclusive | ( |  | ) | const

Whether the gesture is exclusive.

Exclusive gestures only listen to pointer and pointer emulated events.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Whether the gesture handles only touch events.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

void Gtk::GestureSingle::set_button | ( | unsigned int | button = `0` | ) |

Sets the button number gesture listens to.

If non-0, every button press from a different button number will be ignored. Touch events implicitly match with button 1.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Parameters

  button | Button number to listen to, or 0 for any button.

void Gtk::GestureSingle::set_exclusive | ( | bool | exclusive = `true` | ) | const

Sets whether gesture is exclusive.

An exclusive gesture will only handle pointer and "pointer emulated" touch events, so at any given time, there is only one sequence able to interact with those.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Parameters

  exclusive | `true` to make gesture exclusive.

void Gtk::GestureSingle::set_touch_only | ( | bool | touch_only = `true` | ) |

If touch_only is `true`, gesture will only handle events of type Gdk::TOUCH_BEGIN, Gdk::TOUCH_UPDATE or Gdk::TOUCH_END.

If `false`, mouse events will be handled too.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Parameters

  touch_only | Whether gesture handles only touch events.
