Function

GimpUiwidget_set_native_handle

since: 3.0

Declaration [src]

void
gimp_widget_set_native_handle (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GBytes** window_handle
)

Description [src]

This function is to be used in custom widget construction to store the window handle representing widget into window_handle so that it can later be reused to set other windows as transient to this one (even across processes, such as in-between plug-ins), e.g. using gimp_window_set_transient_for().

Depending on the platform, the actual content of window_handle can be various types and should therefore be considered an opaque data. Moreover it may be filled asynchronously in a callback, so you should not assume that window_handle is set after running this function.

This convenience function is safe to use even before widget is visible as it will set the handle once it is mapped.

Free window_handle on dispose() or finalize() with gimp_widget_free_native_handle().

Available since: 3.0

Parameters

widget

window_handle

Type: GBytes

Pointer to store the native handle as a GBytes.

The argument will be modified by the function.
The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
