An Elementary widget item handle. This is a sub component of an Elementary widget and it is the same as Elementary object item, Elm_Object_Item. Common functions for Elementary widget item are provided on this page. Each Elementary widget also provides its own functions to use Elementary widget item. For more details about how Elementary widget item is used with Elementary widget, please refer each Elementary widget's documents.

Defines couple of standard Evas_Object layers to be used with evas_object_layer_set().

Note:

whenever extending with new values, try to keep some padding to siblings so there is room for further extensions.

Enumerator:

ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_BACKGROUND	where to place backgrounds
ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_DEFAULT	Evas_Object default layer (and thus for Elementary)
ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_FOCUS	where focus object visualization is
ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_TOOLTIP	where to show tooltips
ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_CURSOR	where to show cursors
ELM_OBJECT_LAYER_LAST	last layer known by Elementary

Delete elementary color class.

This function deletes any values at the process level for the specified color class.

Note:

Deleting the color class will revert it to the values defined in the theme file.

Parameters:

[in]

color_class

The name of color class.

Ask to exit Elementary's main loop

If this call is issued, it will flag the main loop to cease processing and return back to its parent function (usually your elm_main() function). This does not mean the main loop instantly quits. So your ecore callbacks(timer, animator, event, job, and etc.) have chances to be called even after elm_exit().

See also:

elm_init() for an example. There, just after a request to close the window comes, the main loop will be left.

Note:

By using the appropriate #ELM_POLICY_QUIT on your Elementary applications, you'll be able to get this function called automatically for you.

Since :

2.3.1

Examples:

button_example_00.c, efl_thread_3.c, efl_thread_4.c, efl_thread_5.c, fileselector_example.c, glview_example_01.c, progressbar_example.c, and win_example.c.

Initialize Elementary

Parameters:

[in]	argc	System's argument count value
[in]	argv	System's pointer to array of argument strings

Returns:

The init counter value.

This function initializes Elementary and increments a counter of the number of calls to it. It returns the new counter's value.

Warning:

This call is exported only for use by the ELM_MAIN() macro. There is no need to use this if you use this macro (which is highly advisable). An elm_main() should contain the entry point code for your application, having the same prototype as elm_init(), and not being static (putting the EAPI_MAIN symbol in front of its type declaration is advisable). The ELM_MAIN() call should be placed just after it.

Example:

ELM_MAIN()

elm_shutdown().

Since :

2.3.1

Change the language of the current application

The lang passed must be the full name of the locale to use, for example "en_US.utf8" or "es_ES@euro".

Changing language with this function will make Elementary run through all its widgets, translating strings set with elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set(). This way, an entire UI can have its language changed without having to restart the program.

For more complex cases, like having formatted strings that need translation, widgets will also emit a "language,changed" signal that the user can listen to and manually translate the text.

Parameters:

lang	Language to set, must be the full name of the locale

Since :

2.3.1

Get the text to read out when in accessibility mode

Delete all color classes for the Elementary widget item.

This function deletes any color classes defined for the Elementary widget item. Clearing color classes will revert the color of all parts to the values defined by elm_color_class_set() or the theme file.

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The Elementary widget.

Since :

3.0

Delete the color class for the Elementary widget.

Deleting the color class will revert it to the values defined by elm_color_class_set() or the theme file.

Parameters:

[in]	color_class	The name of color class.

Since :

3.0

Get the disabled state of an Elementary object.

Parameters:

obj	The Elementary object to operate on

Returns:

EINA_TRUE, if the widget is disabled, EINA_FALSE if it's enabled (or on errors)

This gets the state of the widget, which might be enabled or disabled.

Since :

2.3.1

Set the disabled state of an Elementary object.

Parameters:

obj	The Elementary object to operate on
disabled	The state to put in in: EINA_TRUE for disabled, EINA_FALSE for enabled

Elementary objects can be disabled, in which state they won't receive input and, in general, will be themed differently from their normal state, usually greyed out. Useful for contexts where you don't want your users to interact with some of the parts of you interface.

This sets the state for the widget, either disabling it or enabling it back.

2.3.1

Examples:

general_funcs_example.c, gengrid_example.c, inwin_example.c, slideshow_example.c, and web_example_02.c.

Mark the part text to be translatable or not.

Once you mark the part text to be translatable, the text will be translated internally regardless of elm_object_part_text_set() and elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set(). In other case, if you set the Elementary policy that all text will be translatable in default, you can set the part text to not be translated by calling this API.

Parameters:

obj	The object containing the text part
part	The part name of the translatable text
domain	The translation domain to use
translatable	EINA_TRUE, the part text will be translated internally. EINA_FALSE, otherwise.

Since (EFL) :

1.8

Since :

2.3.1

Set the text for an object's part, marking it as translatable.

The string to set as text must be the original one. Do not pass the return of gettext() here. Elementary will translate the string internally and set it on the object using elm_object_part_text_set(), also storing the original string so that it can be automatically translated when the language is changed with elm_language_set().

The domain will be stored along to find the translation in the correct catalog. It can be NULL, in which case it will use whatever domain was set by the application with textdomain(). This is useful in case you are building a library on top of Elementary that will have its own translatable strings, that should not be mixed with those of programs using the library.

Parameters:

obj	The object containing the text part
part	The name of the part to set
domain	The translation domain to use
text	The original, non-translated text to set

Add a callback for input events (key up, key down, mouse wheel) on a given Elementary widget

Parameters:

obj	The widget to add an event callback on
func	The callback function to be executed when the event happens
data	Data to pass in to func

Every widget in an Elementary interface set to receive focus, with elm_object_focus_allow_set(), will propagate all of its key up, key down and mouse wheel input events up to its parent object, and so on. All of the focusable ones in this chain which had an event callback set, with this call, will be able to treat those events. There are two ways of making the propagation of these event upwards in the tree of widgets to cease:

• Just return EINA_TRUE on func. EINA_FALSE will mean the event was not processed, so the propagation will go on.
• The event_info pointer passed to func will contain the event's structure and, if you OR its event_flags inner value to EVAS_EVENT_FLAG_ON_HOLD, you're telling Elementary one has already handled it, thus killing the event's propagation, too.

Note:

Your event callback will be issued on those events taking place only if no other child widget of obj has consumed the event already.

Not to be confused with evas_object_event_callback_add(), which will add event callbacks per type on general Evas objects (no event propagation infrastructure taken in account).

Not to be confused with elm_object_signal_callback_add(), which will add callbacks to signals coming from a widget's theme, not input events.

Not to be confused with edje_object_signal_callback_add(), which does the same as elm_object_signal_callback_add(), but directly on an Edje object.

Not to be confused with evas_object_smart_callback_add(), which adds callbacks to smart objects' smart events, and not input events.

elm_object_event_callback_del()

Since :

Parameters:

obj	The object
func	The callback function to be executed when the event is emitted.
data	Data to pass in to the callback function.

Control the type of mouse pointer/cursor decoration to be shown, when the mouse pointer is over the given item.

This function works analogously as elm_object_cursor_set(), but here the cursor's changing area is restricted to the item's area, and not the whole widget's. Note that that item cursors have precedence over widget cursors, so that a mouse over an item with custom cursor set will always show that cursor.

If this function is called twice for an object, a previously set cursor will be unset on the second call.

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The object.

Returns:

The cursor type's name

Since :

Set the content to be shown in the tooltip item.

Setup the tooltip to item. The item can have only one tooltip, so any previous tooltip data is removed. func(with data) will be called every time that need show the tooltip and it should return a valid Evas_Object. This object is then managed fully by tooltip system and is deleted when the tooltip is gone.

See: elm_object_tooltip_content_cb_set() for more details.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	func	The function used to create the tooltip contents.
[in]	data	What to provide to func as callback data/context.
[in]	del_cb	Called when data is not needed anymore, either when another callback replaces func, the tooltip is unset with elm_object_item_tooltip_unset or the owner item dies. This callback receives as the first parameter the given data, and event_info is the item.

Since :

N/A

Control a different style for this item tooltip.

Note:

before you set a style you should define a tooltip with elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set or elm_object_item_tooltip_text_set

See: elm_object_tooltip_style_set() for more details.

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The object.

Returns:

The theme style used/to use (default, transparent, ...)

Since :

N/A

Control a different style for this item tooltip.

Note:

before you set a style you should define a tooltip with elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set or elm_object_item_tooltip_text_set

See: elm_object_tooltip_style_set() for more details.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	style	The theme style used/to use (default, transparent, ...)

Since :

Set the text to be shown in a given object item's tooltips.

Setup the text as tooltip to object. The item can have only one tooltip, so any previous tooltip data - set with this function or elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set - is removed.

See: elm_object_tooltip_text_set() for more details.

Parameters:

[in]	obj	The object.
[in]	text	The text to set in the content.

Since :

N/A

Unset tooltip from item.

Remove tooltip from item. The callback provided as del_cb to elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set will be called to notify it is not used anymore.

Returns:

If true, size restrictions are disabled

Since :

N/A

Control size restriction state of an object's tooltip.

This function returns whether a tooltip is allowed to expand beyond its parent window's canvas. It will instead be limited only by the size of the display.

This returns track object of the item.

Note:

This gets a rectangle object that represents the object item's internal object. If you want to check the geometry, visibility of the item, you can call the evas apis such as evas_object_geometry_get(), evas_object_visible_get() to the track object. Note that all of the widget items may/may not have the internal object so this api may return NULL if the widget item doesn't have it. Additionally, the widget item is managed/controlled by the widget, the widget item could be changed(moved, resized even deleted) anytime by it's own widget's decision. So please dont' change the track object as well as don't keep the track object in your side as possible but get the track object at the moment you need to refer. Otherwise, you need to add some callbacks to the track object to track it's attributes changes.

Warning:

After use the track object, please call the elm_object_item_untrack() paired to elm_object_item_track definitely to free the track object properly. Don't delete the track object.

See: elm_object_item_untrack See: elm_object_item_track_get

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The object.

Returns:

The track object

Since (EFL) :

Get the track object reference count.

Note:

This gets the reference count for the track object. Whenever you call the elm_object_item_track, the reference count will be increased by one. Likely the reference count will be decreased again when you call the elm_object_item_untrack. Unless the reference count reaches to zero, the track object won't be deleted. So please be sure to call elm_object_item_untrack() paired to the elm_object_item_track call count.

See: elm_object_item_track See: elm_object_item_track_get

Parameters:

[in]

obj

The object.

Returns:

Get a named object from the children

Parameters:

obj	The parent object whose children to look at
name	The name of the child to find
recurse	Set to the maximum number of levels to recurse (0 == none, 1 is only look at 1 level of children etc.)

Returns:

The found object of that name, or NULL if none is found

This function searches the children (or recursively children of children and so on) of the given obj object looking for a child with the name of name. If the child is found the object is returned, or NULL is returned. You can set the name of an object with evas_object_name_set(). If the name is not unique within the child objects (or the tree is recurse is greater than 0) then it is undefined as to which child of that name is returned, so ensure the name is unique amongst children. If recurse is set to -1 it will recurse without limit.

Since :

2.3.1

Disable the orientation mode of a given widget.

Orientation Mode is used for widgets to change it's styles or to send signals whenever it's window degree is changed. If the orientation mode is enabled and the widget has different looks and styles for the window degree(0, 90, 180, 270), it will apply a style that is readied for the current degree, otherwise, it will send signals to it's own edje to change it's states if the style doesn't be readied.

Parameters:

obj	The Elementary object to operate on orientation mode.
disabled	The state to put in in: EINA_TRUE for disabled, EINA_FALSE for enabled.

Get the policy value for given policy identifier.

Parameters:

policy

policy identifier, as in #Elm_Policy.

Returns:

The currently set policy value, for that identifier. Will be 0 if policy passed is invalid.

Since :

Set a new policy's value (for a given policy group/identifier).

Parameters:

policy	policy identifier, as in Elm_Policy.
value	policy value, which depends on the identifier

Returns:

EINA_TRUE on success or EINA_FALSE, on error.

Elementary policies define applications' behavior, somehow. These behaviors are divided in policy groups (see #Elm_Policy enumeration). This call will emit the Ecore event ELM_EVENT_POLICY_CHANGED, which can be hooked at with handlers. An #Elm_Event_Policy_Changed struct will be passed, then.

Note:

Currently, we have only one policy identifier/group (#ELM_POLICY_QUIT), which has two possible values.

Run Elementary's main loop

This call should be issued just after all initialization is completed. This function will not return until elm_exit() is called. It will keep looping, running the main (event/processing) loop for Elementary.

This function should be called once only from the same thread that initted elementary, (elm_init(), eina_init(), ...) and should never be nested. Never call it from within an instance of itself.
