## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ events_pending()

bool Gdk::Event::events_pending | ( |  | ) |
| static

Checks if any events are ready to be processed for any display.

Returns
  true if any events are pending.

## ◆ get()

Event Gdk::Event::get | ( |  | ) |
| static

Checks all open displays for a Gdk::Event to process,to be processed on, fetching events from the windowing system if necessary.

See Gdk::Display::get_event().

Returns
  The next Gdk::Event to be processed, or nullptr if no events are pending. The returned Gdk::Event should be freed with free().

## ◆ get_axis()

bool Gdk::Event::get_axis | ( | AxisUse | axis_use,
|  | double & | value ) const

Extract the axis value for a particular axis use from an event structure.

Parameters

  axis_use | The axis use to look for.
  value | Location to store the value found.

Returns
  true if the specified axis was found, otherwise false.

## ◆ get_coords()

bool Gdk::Event::get_coords | ( | double & | x_win,
|  | double & | y_win ) const

Extract the event window relative x/y coordinates from an event.

Parameters

  x_win | Location to put event window x coordinate.
  y_win | Location to put event window y coordinate.

Returns
  true if the event delivered event window coordinates.

## ◆ get_root_coords()

bool Gdk::Event::get_root_coords | ( | double & | x_root,
|  | double & | y_root ) const

Extract the root window relative x/y coordinates from an event.

Parameters

  x_root | Location to put root window x coordinate.
  y_root | Location to put root window y coordinate.

Returns
  true if the event delivered root window coordinates.

## ◆ get_screen() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< Screen > Gdk::Event::get_screen | ( |  | ) |

Returns the screen for the event.

The screen is typically the screen for event->any.window, but for events such as mouse events, it is the screen where the pointer was when the event occurs - that is, the screen which has the root window to which event->motion.x_root and event->motion.y_root are relative.

Since gtkmm 2.2

Returns
  The screen for the event.

## ◆ get_screen() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr< const Screen > Gdk::Event::get_screen | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the screen for the event.

The screen is typically the screen for event->any.window, but for events such as mouse events, it is the screen where the pointer was when the event occurs - that is, the screen which has the root window to which event->motion.x_root and event->motion.y_root are relative.

Since gtkmm 2.2

Returns
  The screen for the event.

## ◆ get_show_events()

bool Gdk::Event::get_show_events | ( |  | ) |
| static

Gets whether event debugging output is enabled.

Returns
  true if event debugging output is enabled.

## ◆ get_state()

bool Gdk::Event::get_state | ( | ModifierType & | state | ) | const

If the event contains a “state” field, puts that field in state.

Otherwise stores an empty state (0). Returns true if there was a state field in the event. event may be nullptr, in which case it’s treated as if the event had no state field.

Parameters

  state | Return location for state.

Returns
  true if there was a state field in the event.

## ◆ get_time()

guint32 Gdk::Event::get_time | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the time stamp from event, if there is one; otherwise returns GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

If event is nullptr, returns GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Returns
  Time stamp field from event.

## ◆ get_type()

GType Gdk::Event::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GdkEvent * Gdk::Event::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GdkEvent * Gdk::Event::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GdkEvent * Gdk::Event::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ operator=() [1/2]

Event & Gdk::Event::operator= | ( | const Event & | other | ) |

## ◆ operator=() [2/2]

Event & Gdk::Event::operator= | ( | Event && | other | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ peek()

Event Gdk::Event::peek | ( |  | ) |
| static

If there is an event waiting in the event queue of some open display, returns a copy of it.

See Gdk::Display::peek_event().

Returns
  A copy of the first Gdk::Event on some event queue, or nullptr if no events are in any queues. The returned Gdk::Event should be freed with free().

## ◆ put()

void Gdk::Event::put | ( |  | ) |

Appends a copy of the given event onto the front of the event queue for event->any.window’s display, or the default event queue if event->any.window is nullptr.

See Gdk::Display::put_event().

## ◆ set_show_events()

void Gdk::Event::set_show_events | ( | bool | show_events | ) |
| static

Sets whether a trace of received events is output.

Note that GTK+ must be compiled with debugging (that is, configured using the --enable-debug option) to use this option.

Parameters

  show_events | true to output event debugging information.

## ◆ swap()

void Gdk::Event::swap | ( | Event & | other | ) |
| noexcept

## Friends And Related Symbol Documentation

## ◆ swap()

void swap | ( | Event & | lhs,
|  | Event & | rhs )
| related

Parameters

  lhs | The left-hand side
  rhs | The right-hand side

## ◆ wrap()

Gdk::Event wrap | ( | GdkEvent * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = false )
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
