[205:14] static extends: object
Alternate constructors for ContentProvider. Usage:
ContentProviderCtors.<name>(...). The primary constructor lives
directly on ContentProvider.
newForBytes (string mime_type, object bytes)
Create a content provider that provides the given @bytes as data for the given @mime_type.
mime_type is the mime type.bytes is a GBytes with the data for @mime_type.A new ContentProvider.[18:7] extends: object
Provides content for the clipboard or for drag-and-drop operations in a
number of formats. To create a GdkContentProvider, use
[ctor@Gdk.ContentProvider.new_for_value] or
[ctor@Gdk.ContentProvider.new_for_bytes]. GDK knows how to handle common text
and image formats out-of-the-box. See [class@Gdk.ContentSerializer] and
[class@Gdk.ContentDeserializer] if you want to add support for
application-specific data formats.
ContentProvider (value = null)
Create a content provider that provides the given @value.
value is a GValue.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 exposinghandle(), or null. Returns null when the argument carries no pointer.
Source is the raw handle, raw buffer, wrapper, or null.A raw pointer carrier or null when no pointer is present.getLib ()
Returns the opened native library for this generated wrapper.
The opened native library.handle ()
Returns the wrapped NativeHandle.
The wrapped NativeHandle.isNull ()
Returns true when the wrapped handle is null.
A bool.describe ()
Returns a small string for debugging generated wrappers.
A string.asObject ()
Wraps this handle as
Object.
A Object object.connectSignal (string Name, CallbackObj)
Connects one generated callback wrapper to a named signal.
Name is the signal name.CallbackObj is the generated callback wrapper to connect.The connected handler id.disconnectSignalHandler (int HandlerId)
Disconnects one retained signal handler id.
HandlerId is the signal handler id to disconnect.None.setOnContentchanged (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Emitted whenever the content provided by this provider has changed.
Fn is the Aussom callback.Fn is called with (ContentProvider Self).UserData is retained and passed through to the generated callback wrapper when provided.The connected handler id.content_changed ()
Emits the ::content-changed signal.
None.ref_formats ()
Gets the formats that the provider can provide its current contents in.
ref_storable_formats ()
Gets the formats that the provider suggests other applications to store the data in. An example of such an application would be a clipboard manager. This can be assumed to be a subset of [method@Gdk.ContentProvider.ref_formats].
write_mime_type_finish (object result)
Finishes an asynchronous write operation. See [method@Gdk.ContentProvider.write_mime_type_async].
result is a GAsyncResult.[226:7] extends: object
Generated low-level callback wrapper for GIR callback content-changed.
ContentProviderContentchangedCallback (callback Fn, UserData = null)
Creates one native callback wrapper. The wrapper owns a trampoline that converts native pointers into generated wrapper objects before invoking
Fn.
Fn is the Aussom callback implementation.UserData is retained and passed through to Fn on each invocation when provided.trampoline (nativeSelf, nativeUserData)
Internal trampoline. Converts native pointer arguments into generated wrapper instances, then invokes the user's callback.
callback ()
Returns the wrapped NativeCallback.
handle ()
Returns the callback as a NativeHandle.
close ()
Closes the underlying NativeCallback.
isClosed ()
Returns true when the callback has been closed.
[296:14] static extends: object
Generated metadata helpers for ContentProvider class surfaces.
properties ()
Returns property metadata for
ContentProvider.
A list.signals ()
Returns signal metadata for
ContentProvider.
A list.
Aussom
Write once. Embed everywhere.
