Generated metadata helpers for AppLaunchContext class surfaces.

Methods

properties ()

Returns property metadata for AppLaunchContext.
- @r A list.

class: GdkAppLaunchContext

[20:7] extends: object

Handles launching an application in a graphical context. It is an implementation of GAppLaunchContext that provides startup notification and allows to launch applications on a specific workspace. ## Launching an application c GdkAppLaunchContext *context; context = gdk_display_get_app_launch_context (display); gdk_app_launch_context_set_timestamp (gdk_event_get_time (event)); if (!g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri ("http://www.gtk.org", context, &error)) g_warning ("Launching failed: %s\n", error->message); g_object_unref (context);

Methods

GdkAppLaunchContext (Handle = null)

Creates a new AppLaunchContext by wrapping a native handle or another wrapper.
- @p Handle is the native handle or another wrapper whose handle to adopt.
toNativeHandle (Source)

Normalizes a constructor argument into a raw pointer carrier. Accepts a raw NativeHandle, a raw NativeBuffer returned from fn.call(...), another generated wrapper exposing handle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
- @p Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.
- @r A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.
getLib ()

Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
- @r The opened native library.
handle ()

Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
- @r The wrapped NativeHandle.
isNull ()

Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
- @r A bool.
describe ()

Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
- @r A string.
asAppLaunchContext ()

Wraps this handle as GAppLaunchContext.
- @r A GAppLaunchContext object.
get_display ()

Gets the GdkDisplay that @context is for.
- @r the display of @context.
set_desktop (int desktop)

Sets the workspace on which applications will be launched. This only works when running under a window manager that supports multiple workspaces, as described in the Extended Window Manager Hints. Specifically this sets the _NET_WM_DESKTOP property described in that spec. This only works when using the X11 backend. When the workspace is not specified or @desktop is set to -1, it is up to the window manager to pick one, typically it will be the current workspace.
- @p desktop is the number of a workspace, or -1.
- @r None.
set_icon (object icon)

Sets the icon for applications that are launched with this context. Window Managers can use this information when displaying startup notification. See also [method@Gdk.AppLaunchContext.set_icon_name].
- @p icon is a GIcon.
- @r None.
set_icon_name (string icon_name)

Sets the icon for applications that are launched with this context. The
- @icon_name will be interpreted in the same way as the Icon field in desktop files. See also [method@Gdk.AppLaunchContext.set_icon]. If both
- @icon and @icon_name are set, the @icon_name takes priority. If neither
- @icon or @icon_name is set, the icon is taken from either the file that is passed to launched application or from the GAppInfo for the launched application itself.
- @p icon_name is an icon name.
- @r None.
set_timestamp (int timestamp)

Sets the timestamp of @context. The timestamp should ideally be taken from the event that triggered the launch. Window managers can use this information to avoid moving the focus to the newly launched application when the user is busy typing in another window. This is also known as 'focus stealing prevention'.
- @p timestamp is a timestamp.
- @r None.
