## Description

Event notifications and callbacks from EBookView go to the EBookViewListener. Contrast EBookView with EBook, which represents the addressbook itself.

## Details

### EBookView

    typedef struct _EBookView EBookView;

EBookView has no publicly available members.

### e_book_view_new ()

    EBookView *         e_book_view_new                     (GNOME_Evolution_Addressbook_BookView corba_book_view,
                                                             EBookViewListener *listener);

Creates a new EBookView based on `corba_book_view` and listening to `listener`. This is a private function, applications should call e_book_get_book_view or e_book_async_get_book_view.

`corba_book_view` : | a CORBA BookView object
`listener` : | an EBookViewListener
Returns : | A new EBookView.

### e_book_view_start ()

    void                e_book_view_start                   (EBookView *book_view);

Tells `book_view` to start processing events.

`book_view` : | an EBookView

### e_book_view_stop ()

    void                e_book_view_stop                    (EBookView *book_view);

Tells `book_view` to stop processing events.

`book_view` : | an EBookView

### e_book_view_set_book ()

    void                e_book_view_set_book                (EBookView *book_view,
                                                             struct _EBook *book);

Makes `book_view` listen to changes in `book`. This function apparently has no effect for the time being.

`book_view` : | an EBookView
`book` : | an EBook

### e_book_view_get_book ()

    struct _EBook *     e_book_view_get_book                (EBookView *book_view);

Returns the EBook that this book view is monitoring.

`book_view` : | an EBookView
Returns : | an EBook.

## Signal Details

### The `"contacts-added"` signal

    void                user_function                      (EBookView *ebookview,
                                                            gpointer   arg1,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Fired when more contacts are found. Each contact in the list will be unref'd when done, and the list freed, so simply reference any contacts you want to keep.

`ebookview` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : | a GList of EContact objects that were added to the view
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"contacts-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (EBookView *ebookview,
                                                            gpointer   arg1,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Fired when contacts are changed. Each contact in the list will be unref'd when done, and the list freed, so simply reference any contacts you want to keep.

`ebookview` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : | a GList of EContact objects that were modified
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"contacts-removed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (EBookView *ebookview,
                                                            gpointer   arg1,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Fired when contacts are removed from the view. The IDs and the list will be freed, so copy any IDs you want to keep.

`ebookview` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : | a GList of contact IDs (char*) that were removed from the view
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"sequence-complete"` signal

    void                user_function                      (EBookView *ebookview,
                                                            gint       arg1,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Fired when there are currently no more contacts to send. This is fired once after the initial set of contacts-added signals, and after every future change.

`ebookview` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : | an EBookViewStatus
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"status-message"` signal

    void                user_function                      (EBookView *ebookview,
                                                            gchar     *arg1,
                                                            gpointer   user_data)      : Run Last

Fired with a status message reporting the progress of the view.

`ebookview` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : | a const char* message
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
