Tizen Native API  5.0

General Elementary API. Functions that don't relate to Elementary objects specifically.

Here are documented functions which init/shutdown the library, that apply to generic Elementary objects, that deal with configuration, et cetera.

This example contemplates some of these functions.

Typedef Documentation

typedef Eina_Bool(* Elm_Event_Cb)(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, Evas_Object *src, Evas_Callback_Type type, void *event_info)

Function prototype definition for callbacks on input events happening on Elementary widgets. data will receive the user data pointer passed to elm_object_event_callback_add(). src will be a pointer to the widget on which the input event took place. type will get the type of this event and event_info, the struct with details on this event.

typedef Efl_Ui_Interest_Region_Mode Elm_Focus_Region_Show_Mode

How the focus region should be calculated (not related to input focus).

An Elementary Object item handle.

Elm_Object_Item Signal Callback functions' prototype definition. data will have the auxiliary data pointer at the time the callback registration. it will be a pointer the Elm_Object_Item that have the edje object where the signal comes from. emission will identify the exact signal's emission string and source the exact signal's source one.

See also:

An Elementary widget item handle. This is a sub component of an Elementary widget and it is the same as Elementary object item, Elm_Object_Item. Common functions for Elementary widget item are provided on this page. Each Elementary widget also provides its own functions to use Elementary widget item. For more details about how Elementary widget item is used with Elementary widget, please refer each Elementary widget's documents.

Function Documentation

Eina_Bool efl_quicklaunch_prepare ( int  argc,
char **  argv,
const char *  cwd 
)

Exposed symbol used only by macros and should not be used by apps

void elm_color_class_del ( const char *  color_class)

Delete elementary color class.

This function deletes any values at the process level for the specified color class.

Note:
Deleting the color class will revert it to the values defined in the theme file.
Parameters:
[in]color_classThe name of color class.
Since :
3.0
void elm_exit ( void  )

Ask to exit Elementary's main loop

If this call is issued, it will flag the main loop to cease processing and return back to its parent function (usually your elm_main() function). This does not mean the main loop instantly quits. So your ecore callbacks(timer, animator, event, job, and etc.) have chances to be called even after elm_exit().

See also:
elm_init() for an example. There, just after a request to close the window comes, the main loop will be left.
Note:
By using the appropriate #ELM_POLICY_QUIT on your Elementary applications, you'll be able to get this function called automatically for you.
Since :
2.3
Examples:
button_example_00.c, efl_thread_3.c, efl_thread_4.c, efl_thread_5.c, fileselector_example.c, glview_example_01.c, progressbar_example.c, and win_example.c.
int elm_init ( int  argc,
char **  argv 
)

Initialize Elementary

Parameters:
[in]argcSystem's argument count value
[in]argvSystem's pointer to array of argument strings
Returns:
The init counter value.

This function initializes Elementary and increments a counter of the number of calls to it. It returns the new counter's value.

Warning:
This call is exported only for use by the ELM_MAIN() macro. There is no need to use this if you use this macro (which is highly advisable). An elm_main() should contain the entry point code for your application, having the same prototype as elm_init(), and not being static (putting the EAPI_MAIN symbol in front of its type declaration is advisable). The ELM_MAIN() call should be placed just after it.

Example:

See the full example.

elm_shutdown().
Since :
2.3
void elm_language_set ( const char *  lang)

Change the language of the current application

The lang passed must be the full name of the locale to use, for example "en_US.utf8" or "es_ES@euro".

Changing language with this function will make Elementary run through all its widgets, translating strings set with elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set(). This way, an entire UI can have its language changed without having to restart the program.

For more complex cases, like having formatted strings that need translation, widgets will also emit a "language,changed" signal that the user can listen to and manually translate the text.

Parameters:
langLanguage to set, must be the full name of the locale
Since :
2.3
const char* elm_object_access_info_get ( Evas_Object obj)

Get the text to read out when in accessibility mode

Parameters:
objThe object which is to be described
Returns:
The text that describes the widget to people with poor or no vision
Since (EFL) :
1.14
Since :
3.0
void elm_object_access_info_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  txt 
)

Set the text to read out when in accessibility mode

Parameters:
objThe object which is to be described
txtThe text that describes the widget to people with poor or no vision
Since :
2.3

Delete all color classes for the Elementary widget item.

This function deletes any color classes defined for the Elementary widget item. Clearing color classes will revert the color of all parts to the values defined by elm_color_class_set() or the theme file.

Parameters:
[in]objThe Elementary widget.
Since :
3.0
void elm_object_color_class_del ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  color_class 
)

Delete the color class for the Elementary widget.

Deleting the color class will revert it to the values defined by elm_color_class_set() or the theme file.

Parameters:
[in]objThe Elementary widget.
[in]color_classThe name of color class.
Since :
3.0

Get the disabled state of an Elementary object.

Parameters:
objThe Elementary object to operate on
Returns:
EINA_TRUE, if the widget is disabled, EINA_FALSE if it's enabled (or on errors)

This gets the state of the widget, which might be enabled or disabled.

Since :
2.3
void elm_object_disabled_set ( Evas_Object obj,
Eina_Bool  disabled 
)

Set the disabled state of an Elementary object.

Parameters:
objThe Elementary object to operate on
disabledThe state to put in in: EINA_TRUE for disabled, EINA_FALSE for enabled

Elementary objects can be disabled, in which state they won't receive input and, in general, will be themed differently from their normal state, usually greyed out. Useful for contexts where you don't want your users to interact with some of the parts of you interface.

This sets the state for the widget, either disabling it or enabling it back.

Since :
2.3
Examples:
general_funcs_example.c, gengrid_example.c, inwin_example.c, slideshow_example.c, and web_example_02.c.
void elm_object_domain_part_text_translatable_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
Eina_Bool  translatable 
)

Mark the part text to be translatable or not.

Once you mark the part text to be translatable, the text will be translated internally regardless of elm_object_part_text_set() and elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set(). In other case, if you set the Elementary policy that all text will be translatable in default, you can set the part text to not be translated by calling this API.

Parameters:
objThe object containing the text part
partThe part name of the translatable text
domainThe translation domain to use
translatableEINA_TRUE, the part text will be translated internally. EINA_FALSE, otherwise.

Since :
2.3
void elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  text 
)

Set the text for an object's part, marking it as translatable.

The string to set as text must be the original one. Do not pass the return of gettext() here. Elementary will translate the string internally and set it on the object using elm_object_part_text_set(), also storing the original string so that it can be automatically translated when the language is changed with elm_language_set().

The domain will be stored along to find the translation in the correct catalog. It can be NULL, in which case it will use whatever domain was set by the application with textdomain(). This is useful in case you are building a library on top of Elementary that will have its own translatable strings, that should not be mixed with those of programs using the library.

Parameters:
objThe object containing the text part
partThe name of the part to set
domainThe translation domain to use
textThe original, non-translated text to set
Since (EFL) :
1.8
Since :
2.3
EINA_DEPRECATED void elm_object_domain_translatable_text_part_set ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  text 
)

Set the text for an object's part, marking it as translatable.

The string to set as text must be the original one. Do not pass the return of gettext() here. Elementary will translate the string internally and set it on the object using elm_object_part_text_set(), also storing the original string so that it can be automatically translated when the language is changed with elm_language_set().

The domain will be stored along to find the translation in the correct catalog. It can be NULL, in which case it will use whatever domain was set by the application with textdomain(). This is useful in case you are building a library on top of Elementary that will have its own translatable strings, that should not be mixed with those of programs using the library.

Parameters:
objThe object containing the text part
partThe name of the part to set
domainThe translation domain to use
textThe original, non-translated text to set
Deprecated:
Use elm_object_domain_translatable_part_text_set() instead.
void elm_object_event_callback_add ( Evas_Object obj,
Elm_Event_Cb  func,
const void *  data 
)

Add a callback for input events (key up, key down, mouse wheel) on a given Elementary widget

Parameters:
objThe widget to add an event callback on
funcThe callback function to be executed when the event happens
dataData to pass in to func

Every widget in an Elementary interface set to receive focus, with elm_object_focus_allow_set(), will propagate all of its key up, key down and mouse wheel input events up to its parent object, and so on. All of the focusable ones in this chain which had an event callback set, with this call, will be able to treat those events. There are two ways of making the propagation of these event upwards in the tree of widgets to cease:

  • Just return EINA_TRUE on func. EINA_FALSE will mean the event was not processed, so the propagation will go on.
  • The event_info pointer passed to func will contain the event's structure and, if you OR its event_flags inner value to EVAS_EVENT_FLAG_ON_HOLD, you're telling Elementary one has already handled it, thus killing the event's propagation, too.
Note:
Your event callback will be issued on those events taking place only if no other child widget of obj has consumed the event already.
Not to be confused with evas_object_event_callback_add(), which will add event callbacks per type on general Evas objects (no event propagation infrastructure taken in account).
Not to be confused with elm_object_signal_callback_add(), which will add callbacks to signals coming from a widget's theme, not input events.
Not to be confused with edje_object_signal_callback_add(), which does the same as elm_object_signal_callback_add(), but directly on an Edje object.
Not to be confused with evas_object_smart_callback_add(), which adds callbacks to smart objects' smart events, and not input events.

const char* elm_object_item_cursor_get ( const Elm_Widget_Item obj)

Control the type of mouse pointer/cursor decoration to be shown, when the mouse pointer is over the given item.

This function works analogously as elm_object_cursor_set(), but here the cursor's changing area is restricted to the item's area, and not the whole widget's. Note that that item cursors have precedence over widget cursors, so that a mouse over an item with custom cursor set will always show that cursor.

If this function is called twice for an object, a previously set cursor will be unset on the second call.

Parameters:

void elm_object_item_domain_part_text_translatable_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
Eina_Bool  translatable 
)

Mark the part text to be translatable or not.

Once you mark the part text to be translatable, the text will be translated internally regardless of elm_object_item_part_text_set and elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set. In other case, if you set the Elementary policy that all text will be translatable in default, you can set the part text to not be translated by calling this API.

See: elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set See: elm_object_item_part_text_set See: elm_policy()

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]partThe part name of the translatable text
[in]domainThe translation domain to use

void elm_object_item_domain_translatable_part_text_set ( Elm_Widget_Item obj,
const char *  part,
const char *  domain,
const char *  label 
)

Set the text for an object item's part, marking it as translatable.

The string to set as text must be the original one. Do not pass the return of gettext() here. Elementary will translate the string internally and set it on the object item using elm_object_item_part_text_set, also storing the original string so that it can be automatically translated when the language is changed with elm_language_set(). The domain will be stored along to find the translation in the correct catalog. It can be NULL, in which case it will use whatever domain was set by the application with textdomain(). This is useful in case you are building a library on top of Elementary that will have its own translatable strings, that should not be mixed with those of programs using the library.

Parameters:
[in]objThe object.
[in]partThe name of the part to set
[in]domainThe translation domain to use
[in]labelThe original, non-translated text to set

This returns track object of the item.

Note:
This gets a rectangle object that represents the object item's internal object. If you want to check the geometry, visibility of the item, you can call the evas apis such as evas_object_geometry_get(), evas_object_visible_get() to the track object. Note that all of the widget items may/may not have the internal object so this api may return NULL if the widget item doesn't have it. Additionally, the widget item is managed/controlled by the widget, the widget item could be changed(moved, resized even deleted) anytime by it's own widget's decision. So please dont' change the track object as well as don't keep the track object in your side as possible but get the track object at the moment you need to refer. Otherwise, you need to add some callbacks to the track object to track it's attributes changes.
Warning:
After use the track object, please call the elm_object_item_untrack() paired to elm_object_item_track definitely to free the track object properly. Don't delete the track object.

Set the content on part of a given container widget

Parameters:
objThe Elementary container widget
partThe container's part name to set (some might accept NULL for the default part)
contentThe new content for that part

All widgets deriving from the elm-container-class may hold child objects as content at given parts. This sets new content to a given part. If any object was already set as a content object in the same part, the previous object will be deleted automatically with this call. If the content is NULL, this call will just delete the previous object. If the If you wish to preserve it, issue elm_object_part_content_unset() on it first.

void elm_object_signal_callback_add ( Evas_Object obj,
const char *  emission,
const char *  source,
Edje_Signal_Cb  func,
void *  data 
)

Add a callback for a signal emitted by widget edje object.

This function connects a callback function to a signal emitted by the edje object of the obj. Globs can occur in either the emission or source name.

Parameters:
objThe object
emissionThe signal's name.
sourceThe signal's source.
funcThe callback function to be executed when the signal is emitted.
dataA pointer to data to pass to the callback function.
Since :

)

Remove a signal-triggered callback from a widget edje object.

Parameters:
objThe object handle
emissionThe signal's name.
sourceThe signal's source.
funcThe callback function to be executed when the signal is emitted.
Returns:
The data pointer of the signal callback or NULL, on errors.

This function removes the last callback, previously attached to a signal emitted by an underlying Edje object of obj, whose parameters emission, source and func match exactly with those passed to a previous call to elm_object_signal_callback_add(). The data pointer that was passed to this call will be returned.

Since :

int elm_policy_get ( unsigned int  policy)

Get the policy value for given policy identifier.

Parameters:
policypolicy identifier, as in #Elm_Policy.
Returns:
The currently set policy value, for that identifier. Will be 0 if policy passed is invalid.
Since :
2.3
Eina_Bool elm_policy_set ( unsigned int  policy,
int  value 
)

Set a new policy's value (for a given policy group/identifier).

Parameters:
policypolicy identifier, as in Elm_Policy.
valuepolicy value, which depends on the identifier
Returns:
EINA_TRUE on success or EINA_FALSE, on error.

Elementary policies define applications' behavior, somehow. These behaviors are divided in policy groups (see #Elm_Policy enumeration). This call will emit the Ecore event ELM_EVENT_POLICY_CHANGED, which can be hooked at with handlers. An #Elm_Event_Policy_Changed struct will be passed, then.

Note:
Currently, we have only one policy identifier/group (#ELM_POLICY_QUIT), which has two possible values.

void elm_run ( void  )

Run Elementary's main loop

This call should be issued just after all initialization is completed. This function will not return until elm_exit() is called. It will keep looping, running the main (event/processing) loop for Elementary.

This function should be called once only from the same thread that initted elementary, (elm_init(), eina_init(), ...) and should never be nested. Never call it from within an instance of itself.

int elm_shutdown ( void  )

Shut down Elementary

Returns:
The init counter value.

This should be called at the end of your application, just before it ceases to do any more processing. This will clean up any permanent resources your application may have allocated via Elementary that would otherwise persist.

See also:
elm_init() for an example
Note:
elm_shutdown() will iterate main loop until all ecore_evas are freed. There is a possibility to call your ecore callbacks(timer, animator, event, job, and etc.) in elm_shutdown()
