Description

GtkWidgetPath is a boxed type that represents a widget hierarchy from the topmost widget, typically a toplevel, to any child. This widget path abstraction is used in GtkStyleContext on behalf of the real widget in order to query style information.

If you are using GTK+ widgets, you probably will not need to use this API directly, as there is gtk_widget_get_path(), and the style context returned by gtk_widget_get_style_context() will be automatically updated on widget hierarchy changes.

The widget path generation is generally simple:

Defining a button within a window

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
{
  GtkWidgetPath *path;

  path = gtk_widget_path_new ();
  gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW);
  gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_BUTTON);
}

Although more complex information, such as widget names, or different classes (property that may be used by other widget types) and intermediate regions may be included:

Defining the first tab widget in a notebook

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
{
  GtkWidgetPath *path;
  guint pos;

  path = gtk_widget_path_new ();

  pos = gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_NOTEBOOK);
  gtk_widget_path_iter_add_region (path, pos, "tab", GTK_REGION_EVEN | GTK_REGION_FIRST);

  pos = gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_LABEL);
  gtk_widget_path_iter_set_name (path, pos, "first tab label");
}

All this information will be used to match the style information that applies to the described widget.

Functions

gtk_widget_path_append_type ()

gint
gtk_widget_path_append_type (GtkWidgetPath *path,
                             GType type);

Appends a widget type to the widget hierarchy represented by path .

Parameters

path

a GtkWidgetPath

 

type

widget type to append

 

Returns

the position where the element was inserted

Since 3.0


gtk_widget_path_append_with_siblings ()

gint
gtk_widget_path_append_with_siblings (GtkWidgetPath *path,
                                      GtkWidgetPath *siblings,
                                      guint sibling_index);

Appends a widget type with all its siblings to the widget hierarchy represented by path . Using this function instead of gtk_widget_path_append_type() will allow the CSS theming to use sibling matches in selectors and apply :nth-child() pseudo classes. In turn, it requires a lot more care in widget implementations as widgets need to make sure to call gtk_widget_reset_style() on all involved widgets when the siblings path changes.

Parameters

path

the widget path to append to

 

siblings

a widget path describing a list of siblings. This path may not contain any siblings itself and it must not be modified afterwards.

 

sibling_index

index into siblings for where the added element is positioned.

 

Returns

the position where the element was inserted.

Since 3.2

Appends the data from widget to the widget hierarchy represented by path . This function is a shortcut for adding information from widget to the given path . This includes setting the name or adding the style classes from widget .
