Description

The GdaUiDataEntry is an interface for widgets (simple or complex) which lets the user view and/or modify a GValue.

This interface is implemented by widgets which feature data editing (usually composed of an editing area and a button to have some more control on the value being edited). The interface allows to control how the widget works and to query the value and the attributes of the data held by the widget.

The widget can store the original value (to be able to tell if the value has been changed by the user) and a default value (which will be returned if the user explicitly forces the widget to be set to the default value). Control methods allow to set the type of value to be edited (the requested type must be compatible with what the widget can handle), set the value (which replaces the currently edited value), set the value and the original value (the value passed as argument is set and is also considered to be the original value).

GdaUiDataEntry widgets are normally created using the gdaui_new_data_entry() function.

Functions

gdaui_data_entry_set_value_type ()

void
gdaui_data_entry_set_value_type (GdauiDataEntry *de,
                                 GType type);

Sets the type of value the GdauiDataEntry will handle. The type must be compatible with what the widget can handle.

Parameters

de

a GtkWidget object which implements the GdauiDataEntry interface

 

type

the GType of the data to be displayed

 

Since: 4.2


gdaui_data_entry_get_value_type ()

GType
gdaui_data_entry_get_value_type (GdauiDataEntry *de);

Fetch the type of data the GdauiDataEntry handles

Parameters

de

a GtkWidget object which implements the GdauiDataEntry interface

 

Returns

the GType type

Since: 4.2


gdaui_data_entry_set_value ()

void
gdaui_data_entry_set_value (GdauiDataEntry *de,
                            const GValue *value);

Push a value into the GdauiDataEntry. The value parameter must either be:

Parameters

Since: 4.2


gdaui_data_entry_get_value ()

GValue *
gdaui_data_entry_get_value (GdauiDataEntry *de);

Fetch the value held in the GdauiDataEntry widget. If the value is set to NULL, the returned value is of type GDA_TYPE_NULL. If the value is set to default, then the returned value is of type GDA_TYPE_NULL or is the default value if it has been provided to the widget (and is of the same type as the one provided by de ).

Parameters

de

Returns

a new GValue.

[transfer none]

Since: 4.2


gdaui_data_entry_content_is_valid ()

gboolean
gdaui_data_entry_content_is_valid (GdauiDataEntry *de,

gdaui_data_entry_content_is_valid has been deprecated since version 5.2 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Tests the validity of de 's contents. The validity is a determined from:

  • the de widget itself if it is capable of doing it (depending on the implementation)

  • the results of the "contents-valid" signal which can be connected from
