Initializer for a whole Evas_Object_Box_Api structure, with NULL values on its specific fields.

Parameters:

smart_class_init

initializer to use for the base field (Evas_Smart_Class).

EVAS_SMART_CLASS_INIT_NULL

EVAS_SMART_CLASS_INIT_VERSION

EVAS_SMART_CLASS_INIT_NAME_VERSION

EVAS_OBJECT_BOX_API_INIT_NULL

EVAS_OBJECT_BOX_API_INIT_VERSION

EVAS_OBJECT_BOX_API_INIT_NAME_VERSION

Initializer to zero out a whole Evas_Object_Box_Api structure and set its name and version.

This is similar to EVAS_OBJECT_BOX_API_INIT_NULL, but it will also set the version field of Evas_Smart_Class (base field) to the latest #EVAS_SMART_CLASS_VERSION and name it to the specific value.

It will keep a reference to the name field as a const char *, i.e., the name must be available while the structure is used (hint: static or global variable!) and must not be modified.

Current version for Evas box object smart class, a value which goes to _Evas_Object_Box_Api::version.

Smart class extension, providing extra box object requirements.

Smart object instance data, providing box object requirements.

Function signature for an Evas box object layouting routine. By o it will be passed the box object in question, by priv it will be passed the box's internal data and, by user_data, it will be passed any custom data one could have set to a given box layouting function, with evas_object_box_layout_set().

The base structure for a box option. Box options are a way of extending box items properties, which will be taken into account for layouting decisions. The box layouting functions provided by Evas will only rely on objects' canonical size hints to layout them, so the basic box option has no (custom) property set.

Users creating their own layouts, but not depending on extra child items' properties, would be fine just using evas_object_box_layout_set(). But if one desires a layout depending on extra child properties, he/she has to subclass the box smart object. Thus, by using evas_object_box_smart_class_get() and evas_object_box_smart_set(), the option_new() and option_free() smart class functions should be properly redefined/extended.

Object properties are bound to an integer identifier and must have a name string. Their values are open to any data. See the API on option properties for more details.

Get an accessor (a structure providing random items access) to the list of children of a given box object.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

An accessor on o's child objects, on success, or NULL, on errors

Note:

Do not remove or delete objects while walking the list.

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The box object

Add a new box object on the provided canvas.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]

evas

The canvas to create the box object on.

Returns:

NULL on error, a pointer to a new box object on success.

Remarks:

After instantiation, if a box object hasn't its layout function set, via evas_object_box_layout_set(), it will have it by default set to evas_object_box_layout_horizontal(). The remaining properties of the box must be set/retrieved via evas_object_box_{h,v}_{align,padding}_{get,set)().

Add a new box as a child of a given smart object.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

NULL on error, a pointer to a new box object on success.

Remarks:

This is a helper function that has the same effect of putting a new box object into parent by use of evas_object_smart_member_add().

See also:

evas_object_box_add()

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The box object

Get the alignment of the whole bounding box of contents, for a given box object.

Since :

2.3

See also:

evas_object_box_align_set() for more information

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[out]	horizontal	The horizontal alignment, in pixels
[out]	vertical	the vertical alignment, in pixels

Set the alignment of the whole bounding box of contents, for a given box object.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

This will influence how a box object is to align its bounding box of contents within its own area. The values must be in the range 0.0 - 1.0, or undefined behavior is expected. For horizontal alignment, 0.0 means to the left, with 1.0 meaning to the right. For vertical alignment, 0.0 means to the top, with 1.0 meaning to the bottom.

The default values for both alignments is 0.5.

See also:

evas_object_box_align_get()

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	horizontal	The horizontal alignment, in pixels
[in]	vertical	the vertical alignment, in pixels

Append a new child object to the given box object o.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

A box option bound to the recently added box item or NULL, on errors

Remarks:

On success, the "child,added" smart event will take place.

The actual placing of the item relative to o's area will depend on the layout set to it. For example, on horizontal layouts an item in the end of the box's list of children will appear on its right.

This call will trigger the box's _Evas_Object_Box_Api.append smart function.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object

Get the list of children objects in a given box object.

Since :

2.3

Parameters:

[in]

o

The box to retrieve an items list from

Returns:

A list of o's child objects, on success, or NULL, on errors (or if it has no child objects)

Remarks:

The returned list should be freed with eina_list_free() when you no longer need it.

This is a duplicate of the list kept by the box internally. It's up to the user to destroy it when it no longer needs it. It's possible to remove objects from the box when walking this list, but these removals won't be reflected on it.

Insert a new child object after another existing one, in a given box object o.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

A box option bound to the recently added box item or NULL, on errors

Remarks:

On success, the "child,added" smart event will take place.

This function will fail if reference is not a member of o.

The actual placing of the item relative to o's area will depend on the layout set to it.

This call will trigger the box's _Evas_Object_Box_Api.insert_after smart function.

Parameters:

An iterator on o's child objects, on success, or NULL, on errors

Note:

Do not remove or delete objects while walking the list.

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The box object

Layout function which sets the box o to a flow horizontal box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

In a flow horizontal box, the box's child elements are placed in rows (think of text as an analogy). A row has as much elements as can fit into the box's width. The box's overall behavior is controlled by its properties, which are set by the evas_object_box_{h,v}_{align,padding}_set() family of functions. The size hints of the elements in the box -- set by the evas_object_size_hint_{align,padding,weight}_set() functions -- also control the way this function works.

Box's properties:

padding_h tells the box to draw empty spaces of that size, in pixels, between the child objects' cells. align_h dictates the horizontal alignment of the rows (0.0 to left align them, 1.0 to right align). A value of -1.0 to align_h lets the rows justified horizontally. align_v controls the vertical alignment of the entire set of rows (0.0 to top, 1.0 to bottom). A value of -1.0 to align_v makes the box to justify the rows vertically. The padding between them, in this case, is corrected so that the first row touches the top border and the last one touches the bottom border (even if they must overlap). padding_v has no influence on the layout.

Child element's properties:

padding_l and padding_r sum up to the required width of the child element. The align_x property has no influence on the layout. The child's padding_t and padding_b sum up to the required height of the child element and is the only means (besides row justifying) of setting space between rows. Note, however, that align_y dictates positioning relative to the largest height required by a child object in the actual row.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a flow vertical box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

This function behaves analogously to evas_object_box_layout_flow_horizontal(). The description of its behaviour can be derived from that function's documentation.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a homogeneous horizontal box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

In a homogeneous horizontal box, its width is divided equally between the contained objects. The box's overall behavior is controlled by its padding/alignment properties, which are set by the evas_object_box_{h,v}_{align,padding}_set() family of functions. The size hints the elements in the box -- set by the evas_object_size_hint_{align,padding,weight}_set() functions -- also control the way this function works.

Box's properties:

align_h has no influence on the box for this layout. padding_h tells the box to draw empty spaces of that size, in pixels, between the (equal) child objects' cells. The align_v and padding_v properties of the box don't contribute to its behaviour when this layout is chosen.

Child element's properties:

padding_l and padding_r sum up to the required width of the child element. The align_x property tells the relative position of this overall child width in its allocated cell (0.0 to extreme left, 1.0 to extreme right). A value of -1.0 to align_x makes the box try to resize this child element to the exact width of its cell (respecting the minimum and maximum size hints on the child's width and accounting for its horizontal padding hints). The child's padding_t, padding_b and align_y properties apply for padding/alignment relative to the overall height of the box. A value of -1.0 to align_y makes the box try to resize this child element to the exact height of its parent (respecting the maximum size hint on the child's height).

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a maximum size, homogeneous horizontal box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

In a maximum size, homogeneous horizontal box, besides having cells of equal size reserved for the child objects, this size will be defined by the size of the largest child in the box (in width). The box's overall behavior is controlled by its properties, which are set by the evas_object_box_{h,v}_{align,padding}_set() family of functions. The size hints of the elements in the box -- set by the evas_object_size_hint_{align,padding,weight}_set() functions -- also control the way this function works.

Box's properties:

padding_h tells the box to draw empty spaces of that size, in pixels, between the child objects' cells. align_h controls the horizontal alignment of the child objects, relative to the containing box. When set to 0.0, children are aligned to the left. A value of 1.0 lets them aligned to the right border. Values in between align them proportionally. A negative value of align_h makes the box to justify its children cells. The padding between them, in this case, is corrected so that the leftmost one touches the left border and the rightmost one touches the right border (even if they must overlap). The align_v and padding_v properties of the box don't contribute to its behaviour when this layout is chosen.

Child element's properties:

padding_l and padding_r sum up to the required width of the child element. The align_x property tells the relative position of this overall child width in its allocated cell (0.0 to extreme left, 1.0 to extreme right). A value of -1.0 to align_x makes the box try to resize this child element to the exact width of its cell (respecting the minimum and maximum size hints on the child's width and accounting for its horizontal padding hints). The child's padding_t, padding_b and align_y properties apply for padding/alignment relative to the overall height of the box. A value of -1.0 to align_y makes the box try to resize this child element to the exact height of its parent (respecting the max hint on the child's height).

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a maximum size, homogeneous vertical box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

This function behaves analogously to evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_max_size_horizontal(). The description of its behaviour can be derived from that function's documentation.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a homogeneous vertical box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

This function behaves analogously to evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_horizontal(). The description of its behaviour can be derived from that function's documentation.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a (basic) horizontal box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

In this layout, the box object's overall behavior is controlled by its padding/alignment properties, which are set by the evas_object_box_{h,v}_{align,padding}_set() family of functions. The size hints of the elements in the box -- set by the evas_object_size_hint_{align,padding,weight}_set() functions -- also control the way this function works.

Box's properties:

align_h controls the horizontal alignment of the child objects relative to the containing box. When set to 0.0, children are aligned to the left. A value of 1.0 makes them aligned to the right border. Values in between align them proportionally. Note that if the size required by the children, which is given by their widths and the padding_h property of the box, is bigger than the their container's width, the children will be displayed out of the box's bounds. A negative value of align_h makes the box to justify its children. The padding between them, in this case, is corrected so that the leftmost one touches the left border and the rightmost one touches the right border (even if they must overlap). The align_v and padding_v properties of the box don't contribute to its behaviour when this layout is chosen.

Child element's properties:

align_x does not influence the box's behavior. padding_l and padding_r sum up to the container's horizontal padding between elements. The child's padding_t, padding_b and align_y properties apply for padding/alignment relative to the overall height of the box. Finally, there is the weight_x property, which, if set to a non-zero value, tells the container that the child width is not pre-defined. If the container can't accommodate all its children, it sets the widths of the ones with weights to sizes as small as they can all fit into it. If the size required by the children is less than the available, the box increases its childrens' (which have weights) widths as to fit the remaining space. The weight_x property, besides telling the element is resizable, gives a weight for the resizing process. The parent box will try to distribute (or take off) widths accordingly to the normalized list of weights: most weighted children remain/get larger in this process than the least ones. weight_y does not influence the layout.

Remarks:

If one desires that, besides having weights, child elements must be resized bounded to a minimum or maximum size, those size hints must be set, by the evas_object_size_hint_{min,max}_set() functions.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Set a new layouting function to a given box object.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

A box layout function affects how a box object displays child elements within its area. The list of pre-defined box layouts available in Evas is:

• evas_object_box_layout_horizontal()
• evas_object_box_layout_vertical()
• evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_horizontal()
• evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_vertical()
• evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_max_size_horizontal()
• evas_object_box_layout_homogeneous_max_size_vertical()
• evas_object_box_layout_flow_horizontal()
• evas_object_box_layout_flow_vertical()
• evas_object_box_layout_stack()

Refer to each of their documentation texts for details on them.

A box layouting function will be triggered by the 'calculate' smart callback of the box's smart class.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	cb	The new layout function to set on o.
[in]	data	Data pointer to be passed to cb.
[in]	free_data	Function to free data, if need be.

Layout function which sets the box o to a stacking box.

Since :

2.3

Remarks:

In a stacking box, all children will be given the same size -- the box's own size -- and they will be stacked one above the other, so that the first object in o's internal list of child elements will be the bottommost in the stack.

Box's properties:

No box properties are used.

Child element's properties:

padding_l and padding_r sum up to the required width of the child element. The align_x property tells the relative position of this overall child width in its allocated cell (0.0 to extreme left, 1.0 to extreme right). A value of -1.0 to align_x makes the box try to resize this child element to the exact width of its cell (respecting the min and max hints on the child's width and accounting for its horizontal padding properties). The same applies to the vertical axis.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	priv	No description supplied.
[in]	data	No description supplied.

Layout function which sets the box o to a (basic) vertical box.

Since :

A box option bound to the recently added box item or NULL, on errors

Remarks:

On success, the "child,added" smart event will take place.

The actual placing of the item relative to o's area will depend on the layout set to it. For example, on horizontal layouts an item in the beginning of the box's list of children will appear on its left.

This call will trigger the box's _Evas_Object_Box_Api.prepend smart function.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	child	A child Evas object to be made a member of o

Remove a given object from a box object, unparenting it again.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

EINA_TRUE, on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise

Remarks:

On removal, you'll get an unparented object again, just as it was before you inserted it in the box. The _Evas_Object_Box_Api.option_free box smart callback will be called automatically for you and, also, the "child,removed" smart event will take place.

This call will trigger the box's _Evas_Object_Box_Api.remove smart function.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

EINA_TRUE, on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise

Remarks:

This has the same effect of calling evas_object_box_remove() on each of o's child objects, in sequence. If, and only if, all those calls succeed, so does this one.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	clear	if true, it will delete just removed children.

Remove an object, bound to a given position in a box object, unparenting it again.

Since :

2.3

Returns:

EINA_TRUE, on success, EINA_FALSE otherwise

Remarks:

On removal, you'll get an unparented object again, just as it was before you inserted it in the box. The option_free() box smart callback will be called automatically for you and, also, the "child,removed" smart event will take place.

This function will fail if the given position is invalid, given o's internal list of elements.

This call will trigger the box's _Evas_Object_Box_Api.remove_at smart function.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The box object
[in]	pos	The numeric position (starting from 0) of the child object to be removed

Get the Evas box smart class, for inheritance purposes.
