Static Public Attributes

static constexpr std::uint32_t create_data_source_since_version = 1
Minimum protocol version required for the create_data_source function.
static constexpr std::uint32_t get_data_device_since_version = 1
Minimum protocol version required for the get_data_device function.

Detailed Description

data transfer interface

The wl_data_device_manager is a singleton global object that provides access to inter-client data transfer mechanisms such as copy-and-paste and drag-and-drop. These mechanisms are tied to a wl_seat and this interface lets a client get a wl_data_device corresponding to a wl_seat.

Depending on the version bound, the objects created from the bound wl_data_device_manager object will have different requirements for functioning properly. See wl_data_source.set_actions, wl_data_offer.accept and wl_data_offer.finish for details.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum class wayland::proxy_t::wrapper_type [strong], [inherited]

Underlying wl_proxy type and properties of a proxy_t that affect construction, destruction, and event handling

Enumerator

standard: C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*. Events are dispatched and it is destructed when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
display: C pointer is a wl_display*. No events are dispatched, wl_display_disconnect is called when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
foreign: C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*, but another library owns it and it should not be touched in a way that could affect the operation of the other library. No events are dispatched, wl_proxy_destroy is not called when the proxy_t is destructed, user data is not touched. Consequently, there is no reference counting for the proxy_t. Lifetime of such wrappers should preferably be short to minimize the chance that the owning library decides to destroy the wl_proxy.
proxy_wrapper: C pointer is a wl_proxy* that was constructed with wl_proxy_create_wrapper. No events are dispatched, wl_proxy_wrapper_destroy is called when the proxy_t is destroyed. Reference counting is active. A reference to the proxy_t creating this proxy wrapper is held to extend its lifetime until after the proxy wrapper is destroyed.

Member Function Documentation

wl_proxy * wayland::proxy_t::c_ptr () const [inherited]

Get a pointer to the underlying C struct.

Returns: The underlying wl_proxy wrapped by this proxy_t if it exists, otherwise an exception is thrown

data_source_t data_device_manager_t::create_data_source ()

create a new data source

Returns: data source to create

Create a new data source.

Definition at line 2401 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.

std::string wayland::proxy_t::get_class () const [inherited]

Get the interface name (class) of a proxy object.

Returns: The interface name of the object associated with the proxy

data_device_t data_device_manager_t::get_data_device (seat_t const & seat)

create a new data device

Returns: data device to create
Parameters: seat seat associated with the data device

Create a new data device for a given seat.

Definition at line 2408 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.

uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_id () const [inherited]

Get the id of a proxy object.

Returns: The id the object associated with the proxy

uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_version () const [inherited]

Get the protocol object version of a proxy object. Gets the protocol object version of a proxy object, or 0 if the proxy was created with unversioned API.

A returned value of 0 means that no version information is available, so the caller must make safe assumptions about the object's real version.

display_t will always return version 0.

Returns: The protocol object version of the proxy or 0

wrapper_type wayland::proxy_t::get_wrapper_type () const [inline], [inherited]

Get the type of a proxy object.

Definition at line 302 of file wayland-client.hpp.

wayland::proxy_t::operator bool () const [inherited]

Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.

Returns: true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty

bool wayland::proxy_t::operator!= (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]

Check whether two wrappers refer to different objects.

bool wayland::proxy_t::operator== (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]

Check whether two wrappers refer to the same object.

bool wayland::proxy_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]

Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.

Returns: true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty

void wayland::proxy_t::proxy_release () [inherited]

Release the wrapped object (if any), making this an empty wrapper. Note that display_t instances cannot be released this way. Attempts to do so are ignored.

Examples foreign_display.cpp.

void wayland::proxy_t::set_queue (event_queue_t queue) [inherited]

Assign a proxy to an event queue.

Parameters: queue The event queue that will handle this proxy

Assign proxy to event queue. Events coming from proxy will be queued in queue instead of the display's main queue.

See also: display_t::dispatch_queue().

Examples proxy_wrapper.cpp.
