## Detailed Description

Self-contained handler of series of events.

This is an abstract base class, low-level implementation for event controllers. Those react to a series of GdkEvents, and possibly trigger actions as a consequence of those.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Gtk::EventController::EventController | ( | EventController&& | src | ) |

noexcept

virtual Gtk::EventController::~EventController | ( |  | ) |

virtual noexcept

Gtk::EventController::EventController | ( |  | ) |

protected

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

## Member Function Documentation

PropagationPhase Gtk::EventController::get_propagation_phase | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the propagation phase at which controller handles events.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  The propagation phase.

static GType Gtk::EventController::get_type | ( |  | ) |

static

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

Widget* Gtk::EventController::get_widget | ( |  | ) |

Returns the Gtk::Widget this controller relates to.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A Gtk::Widget.

const Widget* Gtk::EventController::get_widget | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the Gtk::Widget this controller relates to.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Returns
  A Gtk::Widget.

GtkEventController* Gtk::EventController::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GtkEventController* Gtk::EventController::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GtkEventController* Gtk::EventController::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

bool Gtk::EventController::handle_event | ( | const GdkEvent * | event | ) |

Feeds an events into controller, so it can be interpreted and the controller actions triggered.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Parameters

  event | A Gdk::Event.

Returns
  `true` if the event was potentially useful to trigger the controller action.

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

noexcept

Glib::PropertyProxy< PropagationPhase > Gtk::EventController::property_propagation_phase | ( |  | ) |

The propagation phase at which this controller will handle 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< PropagationPhase > Gtk::EventController::property_propagation_phase | ( |  | ) | const

The propagation phase at which this controller will handle 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.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Widget* > Gtk::EventController::property_widget | ( |  | ) | const

The widget receiving the Gdk::Events that the controller will handle.

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::EventController::reset | ( |  | ) |

Resets the controller to a clean state.

Every interaction the controller did through Gtk::EventController::signal_handle_event() will be dropped at this point.

Since gtkmm 3.14:

void Gtk::EventController::set_propagation_phase | ( | PropagationPhase | phase | ) |

Sets the propagation phase at which a controller handles events.

If phase is Gtk::PHASE_NONE, no automatic event handling will be performed, but other additional gesture maintenance will. In that phase, the events can be managed by calling handle_event().

Since gtkmm 3.14:

Parameters

  phase | A propagation phase.

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::EventController > wrap | ( | GtkEventController * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
