@Generated("io.github.jwharm.JavaGI")
public class Filter
extends GObject

A GtkFilter object describes the filtering to be performed by a FilterListModel.

The model will use the filter to determine if it should include items or not by calling match(org.gnome.gobject.GObject) for each item and only keeping the ones that the function returns true for.

Filters may change what items they match through their lifetime. In that case, they will emit the Gtk.Filter::changed signal to notify that previous filter results are no longer valid and that items should be checked again via match(org.gnome.gobject.GObject).

GTK provides various pre-made filter implementations for common filtering operations. These filters often include properties that can be linked to various widgets to easily allow searches.

However, in particular for large lists or complex search methods, it is also possible to subclass GtkFilter and provide one's own filter.

Constructor Details

Filter

public Filter(MemorySegment address)

Create a Filter 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 Filter class

Returns:

the GType

getMemoryLayout

public static MemoryLayout getMemoryLayout()

The memory layout of the native struct.

Returns:

the memory layout

asParent

protected Filter 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.

Overrides:

asParent in class GObject

changed

public void changed(FilterChange change)

Notifies all users of the filter that it has changed.

This emits the Gtk.Filter::changed signal. Users of the filter should then check items again via match(org.gnome.gobject.GObject).

Depending on the change parameter, not all items need to be changed, but only some. Refer to the Gtk.FilterChange documentation for details.

This function is intended for implementers of GtkFilter subclasses and should not be called from other functions.

Parameters:

change - How the filter changed

getStrictness

public FilterMatch getStrictness()

Gets the known strictness of filters.

If the strictness is not known, FilterMatch.SOME is returned.

This value may change after emission of the Gtk.Filter::changed signal.

This function is meant purely for optimization purposes, filters can choose to omit implementing it, but GtkFilterListModel uses it.

Returns:

the strictness of this Filter

match

public boolean match(GObject item)

Checks if the given item is matched by the filter or not.

Parameters:

item - The item to check

Returns:

true if the filter matches the item and a filter model should keep it, false if not.

onChanged

public SignalConnection<Filter.ChangedCallback> onChanged(Filter.ChangedCallback handler)

Emitted whenever the filter changed.

Users of the filter should then check items again via match(org.gnome.gobject.GObject).

GtkFilterListModel handles this signal automatically.

Depending on the change parameter, not all items need to be checked, but only some. Refer to the Gtk.FilterChange documentation for details.

Parameters:

handler - the signal handler

Returns:

a signal handler ID to keep track of the signal connection

See Also:

• Filter.ChangedCallback.run(org.gnome.gtk.FilterChange)

emitChanged

public void emitChanged(FilterChange change)

Emits the "changed" signal. See onChanged(org.gnome.gtk.Filter.ChangedCallback).

builder

public static Filter.Builder<? extends Filter.Builder> builder()

A Filter.Builder object constructs a Filter with the specified properties. Use the various set...() methods to set properties, and finish construction with Filter.Builder.build().
