Detailed Description

General Elementary API.

Functions that don't relate to Elementary objects specifically.

Here are documented functions which init/shutdown the library, that apply to generic Elementary objects, that deal with configuration, et cetera.

This example contemplates some of these functions.

Macro Definition Documentation

◆ elm_object_item_text_set

#define elm_object_item_text_set (   it,
  label 
)    elm_object_item_part_text_set((it), NULL, (label))

Macro to set a label of an object item.

Parameters
itThe Elementary object item.
labelThe new text of the label.
Note
Elementary object items may have many labels.
Examples
popup_example_03.c, segment_control_example.c, and web_example_02.c.

Typedef Documentation

◆ Elm_Event_Atspi_Bridge_State_Changed

Data on event when atspi bridge state is changed.

Since
1.26

◆ Elm_Event_Cb

typedef Eina_Bool(* Elm_Event_Cb) (void *data, Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Object *src, Evas_Callback_Type type, void *event_info)

Function prototype definition for callbacks on input events happening on Elementary widgets.

data will receive the user data pointer passed to elm_object_event_callback_add(). src will be a pointer to the widget on which the input event took place. type will get the type of this event and event_info, the struct with details on this event.

◆ Elm_Object_Item_Signal_Cb

Elm_Object_Item_Signal_Cb

Elm_Object_Item Signal Callback functions' prototype definition.

data will have the auxiliary data pointer at the time the callback registration. it will be a pointer the Elm_Object_Item that have the edje object where the signal comes from. emission will identify the exact signal's emission string and source the exact signal's source one.

◆ Elm_Widget_Item

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.

See each mode's description for more details.

Note
Default value is ELM_LIST_SCROLL.

Values here don't work as bitmasks – only one can be chosen at a time.

Enumerator
ELM_LIST_COMPRESS 

The list won't set any of its size hints to inform how a possible container should resize it.

Then, if it's not created as a "resize object", it might end with zeroed dimensions. The list will respect the container's geometry and, if any of its items won't fit into its transverse axis, one won't be able to scroll it in that direction.

ELM_LIST_SCROLL 

Default value.

This is the same as ELM_LIST_COMPRESS, with the exception that if any of its items won't fit into its transverse axis, one will be able to scroll it in that direction.

ELM_LIST_LIMIT 

Sets a minimum size hint on the list object, so that containers may respect it (and resize itself to fit the child properly).

More specifically, a minimum size hint will be set for its transverse axis, so that the largest item in that direction fits well. This is naturally bound by the list object's maximum size hints, set externally.

ELM_LIST_EXPAND 

Besides setting a minimum size on the transverse axis, just like on ELM_LIST_LIMIT, the list will set a minimum size on the longitudinal axis, trying to reserve space to all its children to be visible at a time.

. This is naturally bound by the list object's maximum size hints, set externally.

Function Documentation

◆ elm_object_domain_translatable_text_part_set()

EINA_DEPRECATED void elm_object_domain_translatable_text_part_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  text 
)

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
objThe object containing the text part
partThe name of the part to set
domainThe translation domain to use
textThe original, non-translated text to set
Deprecated:
Use elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set() instead.

References elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set().

◆ elm_object_translatable_text_part_get()

EINA_DEPRECATED const char * elm_object_translatable_text_part_get ( const Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part 
)

Get the original string set as translatable for an object.

When setting translated strings, the function elm_object_part_text_get() will return the translation returned by gettext(). To get the original string use this function.

Parameters
objThe object
partThe name of the part that was set
Returns
The original, untranslated string
Deprecated:
Use elm_object_translatable_part_text_get() instead.

References elm_object_translatable_part_text_get().

◆ elm_init()

int elm_init ( int  argc,
char **  argv 
)

Initialize Elementary.

Parameters
[in]argcSystem's argument count value
[in]argvSystem'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:

#define ELM_MAIN()
macro to be used after the elm_main() function
Definition: elm_general.h:556

See the full example.

◆ elm_shutdown()

int elm_shutdown ( void  )

Shut down Elementary.

Returns
The init counter value.

This should be called at the end of your application, just before it ceases to do any more processing. This will clean up any permanent resources your application may have allocated via Elementary that would otherwise persist.

See also
elm_init() for an example
Note
elm_shutdown() will iterate main loop until all ecore_evas are freed. There is a possibility to call your ecore callbacks(timer, animator, event, job, and etc.) in elm_shutdown()
Examples
ephysics_logo.c.

References ecore_event_handler_del(), ecore_main_loop_iterate(), eina_stringshare_del(), elm_quicklaunch_shutdown(), and elm_quicklaunch_sub_shutdown().

◆ elm_run()

void elm_run ( void  )

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.

See also
elm_init() for an example

References ecore_main_loop_begin().

◆ elm_exit()

void elm_exit ( void  )

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.
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.

References efl_exit().

◆ elm_policy_set()

Eina_Bool elm_policy_set ( unsigned int  policy,
int  value 
)

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

Parameters
policypolicy identifier, as in Elm_Policy.
valuepolicy 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.
Examples

◆ elm_policy_get()

int elm_policy_get ( unsigned int  policy)

Get the policy value for given policy identifier.

Parameters
policypolicy identifier, as in Elm_Policy.
Returns
The currently set policy value, for that identifier. Will be 0 if policy passed is invalid.

References ELM_POLICY_LAST.

◆ elm_language_set()

void elm_language_set ( const char *  lang)

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
langLanguage to set, must be the full name of the locale

void elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  text 
)

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
objThe object containing the text part
partThe name of the part to set
domainThe translation domain to use
textThe original, non-translated text to set

const char * elm_object_translatable_part_text_get ( const Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part 
)

Get the original string set as translatable for an object.

When setting translated strings, the function elm_object_part_text_get() will return the translation returned by gettext(). To get the original string use this function.

Parameters
objThe object
partThe name of the part that was set
Returns
The original, untranslated string

void elm_object_domain_part_text_translatable_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
Eina_Bool  translatable 
)

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
objThe object containing the text part
partThe part name of the translatable text
domainThe translation domain to use
translatableEINA_TRUE, the part text will be translated internally. EINA_FALSE, otherwise.

◆ elm_object_signal_emit()

void elm_object_signal_emit ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  emission,
const char *  source 
)

This function sends a signal to the edje object of the obj. An edje program can respond to a signal by specifying matching 'signal' and 'source' fields.

Parameters
objThe object
emissionThe signal's name.
sourceThe signal's source.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN.

◆ elm_object_signal_callback_add()

This function connects a callback function to a signal emitted by the edje object of the obj. Globs can occur in either the emission or source name.

Parameters
objThe object
emissionThe signal's name.
sourceThe signal's source.
funcThe callback function to be executed when the signal is emitted.
dataA pointer to data to pass to the callback function.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_NULL_RETURN.

◆ elm_object_signal_callback_del()

void * elm_object_signal_callback_del ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  emission,
const char *  source,
Edje_Signal_Cb  func 
)

Remove a signal-triggered callback from a widget edje object.

Parameters
objThe object handle
emissionThe signal's name.
sourceThe signal's source.
funcThe callback function to be executed when the signal is emitted.
Returns
The data pointer of the signal callback or NULL, on errors.

This function removes the last callback, previously attached to a signal emitted by an underlying Edje object of obj, whose parameters emission, source and func match exactly with those passed to a previous call to elm_object_signal_callback_add(). The data pointer that was passed to this call will be returned.

◆ elm_object_event_callback_add()

void elm_object_event_callback_add ( Evas_Object obj,
Elm_Event_Cb  func,
const void *  data 
)

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

Parameters
objThe widget to add an event callback on
funcThe callback function to be executed when the event happens
dataData 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.

void elm_object_item_access_info_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  txt 
)

Set the text to read out when in accessibility mode.

Parameters
[in]objThe object.
[in]txtThe text that describes the widget to people with poor or no vision

◆ elm_object_item_access_object_get()

Efl_Canvas_Object * elm_object_item_access_object_get ( const Elm_Widget_Item obj)

Get an accessible object of the object item.

Parameters
[in]objThe object.
Returns
Accessible object of the object item or NULL for any error
Since
1.8

◆ elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set()

void elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  label 
)

Set the text for an object item'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 item using elm_object_item_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
[in]objThe object.
[in]partThe name of the part to set
[in]domainThe translation domain to use
[in]labelThe original, non-translated text to set
Since
1.8

◆ elm_object_item_translatable_part_text_get()

const char * elm_object_item_translatable_part_text_get ( const Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  part 
)

Get the original string set as translatable for an object item.

When setting translated strings, the function elm_object_item_part_text_get will return the translation returned by gettext(). To get the original string use this function.

Parameters
[in]objThe object.
[in]partThe name of the part that was set
Returns
The original, untranslated string
Since
1.8

◆ elm_object_item_domain_part_text_translatable_set()

void elm_object_item_domain_part_text_translatable_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
Eina_Bool  translatable 
)

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_item_part_text_set and elm_object_item_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.

See: elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set See: elm_object_item_part_text_set See: elm_policy()

Parameters
[in]objThe object.
[in]partThe part name of the translatable text
[in]domainThe translation domain to use
[in]translatabletrue, the part text will be translated internally. false, otherwise.

◆ elm_object_item_track()

Efl_Canvas_Object * elm_object_item_track ( Elm_Widget_Item obj)

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 don't 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]objThe object.
Returns
The track object
Since
1.8

◆ elm_object_item_untrack()

void elm_object_item_untrack ( Elm_Widget_Item obj)

This retrieve the track object of the item.

Note
This retrieves the track object that was returned from elm_object_item_track.

See: elm_object_item_track See: elm_object_item_track_get

Parameters
[in]objThe object.
Since
1.8

◆ elm_object_item_track_get()

int elm_object_item_track_get ( const Elm_Widget_Item obj)

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]objThe object.
Returns
Track object reference count

◆ elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set()

void elm_object_item_tooltip_content_cb_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
Elm_Tooltip_Item_Content_Cb  func,
const void *  data,
Evas_Smart_Cb  del_cb 
)

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]objThe object.
[in]funcThe function used to create the tooltip contents.
[in]dataWhat to provide to func as callback data/context.
[in]del_cbCalled 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.
