public abstract class Event
extends TypeInstance

GdkEvents are immutable data structures, created by GDK to represent windowing system events.

In GTK applications the events are handled automatically by toplevel widgets and passed on to the event controllers of appropriate widgets, so using GdkEvent and its related API is rarely needed.

Constructor Details

Event

public Event(MemorySegment address)

Create a Event proxy instance for the provided memory address.

Parameters:

address - the memory address of the native object

Method Details

getType

public static Type getType()

Get the GType of the Event class

Returns:

the GType

asParent

protected Event asParent()

Returns this instance as if it were its parent type. This is mostly synonymous to the Java super keyword, but will set the native typeclass function pointers to the parent type. When overriding a native virtual method in Java, "chaining up" with super.methodName() doesn't work, because it invokes the overridden function pointer again. To chain up, call asParent().methodName(). This will call the native function pointer of this virtual method in the typeclass of the parent type.

eventsGetAngle

public boolean eventsGetAngle(Event event2,
 Out<Double> angle)

Returns the relative angle from this Event to event2.

The relative angle is the angle between the X axis and the line through both events' positions. The rotation direction for positive angles is from the positive X axis towards the positive Y axis.

This assumes that both events have X/Y information. If not, this function returns false.

Parameters:

event2 - second GdkEvent

angle - return location for the relative angle between both events

Returns:

true if the angle could be calculated.

eventsGetCenter

public boolean eventsGetCenter(Event event2,
 Out<Double> x,
 Out<Double> y)

Returns the point halfway between the events' positions.

This assumes that both events have X/Y information. If not, this function returns false.

Parameters:

event2 - second GdkEvent

x - return location for the X coordinate of the center

y - return location for the Y coordinate of the center

Returns:

true if the center could be calculated.

eventsGetDistance

public boolean eventsGetDistance(Event event2,
 Out<Double> distance)

Returns the distance between the event locations.

This assumes that both events have X/Y information. If not, this function returns false.

Parameters:

event2 - second GdkEvent

distance - return location for the distance

Returns:

true if the distance could be calculated.

getAxes

public boolean getAxes(Out<double[]> axes)

Extracts all axis values from an event.

To find out which axes are used, use DeviceTool.getAxes() on the device tool returned by getDeviceTool().

Parameters:

axes - the array of values for all axes

Returns:

true on success, otherwise false

getAxis

public boolean getAxis(AxisUse axisUse,
 Out<Double> value)

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

To find out which axes are used, use DeviceTool.getAxes() on the device tool returned by getDeviceTool().

Parameters:

axisUse - the axis use to look for

value - location to store the value found

Returns:

true if the specified axis was found, otherwise false

getDevice

public Device getDevice()

Returns the device of an event.

Returns:

a GdkDevice

getDeviceTool

public DeviceTool getDeviceTool()

Returns a GdkDeviceTool representing the tool that caused the event.

If the was not generated by a device that supports different tools (such as a tablet), this function will return null.

Note: the GdkDeviceTool will be constant during the application lifetime, if settings must be stored persistently across runs, see DeviceTool.getSerial().

Returns:

The current device tool

getDisplay

public Display getDisplay()

Retrieves the display associated to the this Event.

Returns:

a GdkDisplay

getEventSequence

public EventSequence getEventSequence()

Returns the event sequence to which the event belongs.

Related touch events are connected in a sequence. Other events typically don't have event sequence information.

Returns:

the event sequence that the event belongs to

getEventType

public EventType getEventType()

Retrieves the type of the event.

Returns:

a GdkEventType

getHistory

public TimeCoord[] getHistory()

Retrieves the history of the device that this Event is for, as a list of time and coordinates.

The history includes positions that are not delivered as separate events to the application because they occurred in the same frame as this Event.

Note that only motion and scroll events record history, and motion events do it only if one of the mouse buttons is down, or the device has a tool.

Returns:

an array of time and coordinates

getModifierState

public Set<ModifierType> getModifierState()

Returns the modifier state field of an event.

Returns:

the modifier state of this Event

getPointerEmulated

public boolean getPointerEmulated()

Returns whether this event is an 'emulated' pointer event.

Emulated pointer events typically originate from a touch events.

Returns:

true if this event is emulated

getPosition

public boolean getPosition(Out<Double> x,
 Out<Double> y)

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

This position is in surface coordinates.

Parameters:

x - location to put event surface x coordinate

y - location to put event surface y coordinate

Returns:

whether the positions were set

getSeat

public Seat getSeat()

Returns the seat that originated the event.

Returns:

a GdkSeat.

getSurface

public Surface getSurface()

Extracts the surface associated with an event.

Returns:

The GdkSurface associated with the event

getTime

public int getTime()

Returns the timestamp of this Event.

Not all events have timestamps. In that case, this function returns GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Returns:

timestamp field from this Event

ref

public Event ref()

Increase the ref count of this Event.

Returns:

this Event

triggersContextMenu

public boolean triggersContextMenu()

Returns whether a GdkEvent should trigger a context menu, according to platform conventions.

The right mouse button typically triggers context menus. On macOS, Control+left mouse button also triggers.

This function should always be used instead of simply checking for

event->button == GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY
 

Returns:

true if the event should trigger a context menu.

unref

public void unref()

Decrease the ref count of this Event.

If the last reference is dropped, the structure is freed.
