Function Documentation

Evas_Object* elm_object_parent_widget_get ( const Evas_Object * obj )

Gets the first parent of the given object that is an Elementary widget.

Since :: 2.3.1

Remarks:: Use this to query an object's parent widget.; Most of the Elementary users don't mix non-Elementary smart objects in the objects tree of an application, as this is an advanced usage of Elementary with Evas. So, except for the application's window, which is the root of that tree, all other objects have valid Elementary widget parents.

Parameters:

[in] obj The Elementary object to query the parent from

Returns:: The parent object that is an Elementary widget, otherwise NULL if it is not found

Evas_Object* elm_object_top_widget_get ( const Evas_Object * obj )

Gets the top level parent of an Elementary widget.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in] obj The object to query

Returns:: The top level Elementary widget, otherwise NULL if the parent cannot be found

Eina_Bool elm_object_widget_check ( const Evas_Object * obj )

Checks whether the given Evas Object is an Elementary widget.

Since :: 2.3.1

Parameters:

[in] obj The object to query

Returns:: EINA_TRUE if it is an elementary widget variant, otherwise EINA_FALSE

const char* elm_object_widget_type_get ( const Evas_Object * obj )

Gets the string that represents this Elementary widget.

Since :: 2.3.1

Remarks:: Elementary is weird and exposes itself as a single Evas_Object_Smart_Class of type "elm_widget", so evas_object_type_get() always returns that, making debug and language bindings hard. This function tries to mitigate this problem, but the solution is to change Elementary to use proper inheritance.

Parameters:

[in] obj The object to query

Returns:: The Elementary widget name, otherwise NULL if it is not a valid widget
