Struct Overlay

pub struct Overlay { /* private fields */ }

Overlay is a container which contains a single main child, on top of which it can place “overlay” widgets.

The position of each overlay widget is determined by its halign and valign properties. E.g. a widget with both alignments set to Align::Start will be placed at the top left corner of the Overlay container, whereas an overlay with halign set to Align::Center and valign set to Align::End will be placed a the bottom edge of the Overlay, horizontally centered. The position can be adjusted by setting the margin properties of the child to non-zero values.

More complicated placement of overlays is possible by connecting to the get-child-position signal.

An overlay’s minimum and natural sizes are those of its main child. The sizes of overlay children are not considered when measuring these preferred sizes.

GtkOverlay as GtkBuildable

The Overlay implementation of the Buildable interface supports placing a child as an overlay by specifying “overlay” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.

CSS nodes

Overlay has a single CSS node with the name “overlay”. Overlay children whose alignments cause them to be positioned at an edge get the style classes “.left”, “.right”, “.top”, and/or “.bottom” according to their position.

Signals

get-child-position

Emitted to determine the position and size of any overlay child widgets.

A handler for this signal should fill @allocation with the desired position and size for @widget, relative to the ‘main’ child of @overlay.

The default handler for this signal uses the @widget’s halign and valign properties to determine the position and gives the widget its natural size (except that an alignment of Align::Fill will cause the overlay to be full-width/height). If the main child is a ScrolledWindow, the overlays are placed relative to its contents.

Widget

destroy

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.

This signal is not suitable for saving widget state.

direction-changed

Emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

hide

Emitted when @widget is hidden.

keynav-failed

Emitted if keyboard navigation fails.

See WidgetExt::keynav_failed() for details.

map

Emitted when @widget is going to be mapped.

A widget is mapped when the widget is visible (which is controlled with visible) and all its parents up to the toplevel widget are also visible.

The ::map signal can be used to determine whether a widget will be drawn, for instance it can resume an animation that was stopped during the emission of unmap.

mnemonic-activate

Emitted when a widget is activated via a mnemonic.

The default handler for this signal activates @widget if @group_cycling is false, or just makes @widget grab focus if @group_cycling is true.

move-focus

Emitted when the focus is moved.

The ::move-focus signal is a keybinding signal.

The default bindings for this signal are Tab to move forward, and Shift+Tab to move backward.

Action

query-tooltip

Emitted when the widget’s tooltip is about to be shown.

This happens when the has-tooltip property is true and the hover 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.

realize

Emitted when @widget is associated with a gdk::Surface.

This means that WidgetExt::realize() has been called or the widget has been mapped (that is, it is going to be drawn).

show

Emitted when @widget is shown.

state-flags-changed

Emitted when the widget state changes.

See WidgetExt::state_flags().

unmap

Emitted when @widget is going to be unmapped.

A widget is unmapped when either it or any of its parents up to the toplevel widget have been set as hidden.

As ::unmap indicates that a widget will not be shown any longer, it can be used to, for example, stop an animation on the widget.

unrealize

Emitted when the gdk::Surface associated with @widget is destroyed.

This means that WidgetExt::unrealize() has been called or the widget has been unmapped (that is, it is going to be hidden).

impl Overlay

pub fn connect_get_child_position<F>(&self, f: F) -> SignalHandlerId

where F: Fn(&Self, &Widget) -> Option<Rectangle> + 'static,

Emitted to determine the position and size of any overlay child widgets.

A handler for this signal should fill @allocation with the desired position and size for @widget, relative to the ‘main’ child of @overlay.

The default handler for this signal uses the @widget’s halign and valign properties to determine the position and gives the widget its natural size (except that an alignment of Align::Fill will cause the overlay to be full-width/height). If the main child is a ScrolledWindow, the overlays are placed relative to its contents.
