## Detailed Description

A Gdk::Seat object represents a collection of input devices that belong to a user.

Since gtkmm 3.20:

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef sigc::slot<void, const Glib::RefPtr<Window>&> Gdk::Seat::SlotGrabPrepare

For instance,
void on_grab_prepare(const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>& window);.

Type of the callback used to set up window so it can be grabbed. A typical action would be ensuring the window is visible, although there's room for other initialization actions.

Parameters

  window | The Gdk::Window being grabbed.

static GType Gdk::Seat::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

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

GdkSeat* Gdk::Seat::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GdkSeat* Gdk::Seat::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GdkSeat* Gdk::Seat::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

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

GrabStatus Gdk::Seat::grab | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Window >& | window,
|  | SeatCapabilities | capabilities,
|  | bool | owner_events,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cursor >& | cursor = `Glib::RefPtr< Cursor >()`,
|  | const GdkEvent * | event = `nullptr`,
|  | const SlotGrabPrepare& | slot = `SlotGrabPrepare()`
| ) |  |

Grabs the seat so that all events corresponding to the given capabilities are passed to this application until the seat is ungrabbed with ungrab(), or the window becomes hidden.

This overrides any previous grab on the seat by this client.

As a rule of thumb, if a grab is desired over Gdk::SEAT_CAPABILITY_POINTER, all other "pointing" capabilities (eg. Gdk::SEAT_CAPABILITY_TOUCH) should be grabbed too, so the user is able to interact with all of those while the grab holds, you should thus use Gdk::SEAT_CAPABILITY_ALL_POINTING most commonly.

Grabs are used for operations which need complete control over the events corresponding to the given capabilities. For example in GTK+ this is used for Drag and Drop operations, popup menus and such.

Note that if the event mask of a Gdk::Window has selected both button press and button release events, or touch begin and touch end, then a press event will cause an automatic grab until the button is released, equivalent to a grab on the window with owner_events set to `true`. This is done because most applications expect to receive paired press and release events.

If you set up anything at the time you take the grab that needs to be cleaned up when the grab ends, you should handle the Gdk::EventGrabBroken events that are emitted when the grab ends unvoluntarily.

Since gtkmm 3.20:

Parameters

  window | The Gdk::Window which will own the grab.
  capabilities | Capabilities that will be grabbed.
  owner_events | If `false` then all device events are reported with respect to window and are only reported if selected by event_mask. If `true` then pointer events for this application are reported as normal, but pointer events outside this application are reported with respect to window and only if selected by event_mask. In either mode, unreported events are discarded.
  cursor | The cursor to display while the grab is active. If this is `nullptr` then the normal cursors are used for window and its descendants, and the cursor for window is used elsewhere.
  event | The event that is triggering the grab, or `nullptr` if none is available.
  slot | Function to prepare the window to be grabbed, it can be `nullptr` if window is visible before this call.

Returns
  Gdk::GRAB_SUCCESS if the grab was successful.

Seat& Gdk::Seat::operator= | ( | Seat&& | src | ) |
| noexcept

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr<Display> > Gdk::Seat::property_display | ( |  | ) | const

Gdk::Display of this seat.

Since gtkmm 3.20:

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::SignalProxy< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Device>& > Gdk::Seat::signal_device_added | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_device_added(const Glib::RefPtr<Device>& device)`

Flags: Run Last

The signal_device_added() signal is emitted when a new input device is related to this seat.

Since gtkmm 3.20:

Parameters

  device | The newly added Gdk::Device.

Glib::SignalProxy< void,const Glib::RefPtr<Device>& > Gdk::Seat::signal_device_removed | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_device_removed(const Glib::RefPtr<Device>& device)`

Flags: Run Last

The signal_device_removed() signal is emitted when an input device is removed (e.g. unplugged).

Since gtkmm 3.20:

Parameters

  device | The just removed Gdk::Device.

void Gdk::Seat::ungrab | ( |  | ) |

Releases a grab added through grab().
