Ctxpopup

This feature is supported in wearable applications only.

The context popup (ctxpopup) component is a contextual popup that can show a list of items inside it.

For more information, see the Ctxpopup API.

Adding a Ctxpopup Component

To create a ctxpopup component, use the elm_ctxpopup_add() function:

Evas_Object *ctxpopup;
Evas_Object *parent;

/* Create a ctxpopup */
ctxpopup = elm_ctxpopup_add(parent);

When shown, the ctxpopup automatically selects an area inside its parent object’s view to optimally fit into it. Set the object view with the elm_ctxpopup_hover_parent_set() function.

Using the Ctxpopup Styles

The ctxpopup has the following styles for the rectangular screen:

  • default

    The ctxpopup has the following styles for the circular screen:

  • select_mode

  • select_mode/top, select_mode/bottom

    These 2 styles can be used as a pair.

To set the style to, for example, default:

elm_object_style_set(ctxpopup, "default");

Configuring the Ctxpopup

To configure the ctxpopup:

  • Set the ctxpopup orientation with the elm_ctxpopup_horizontal_set() function.

    In the following example, the orientation is set to horizontal:

    elm_ctxpopup_horizontal_set(ctxpopup, EINA_TRUE);

  • Disable auto hiding.

    The ctxpopup can be hidden automatically when its parent is resized. The auto hide functionality is enabled by default. You can disable auto hiding by calling the elm_ctxpopup_auto_hide_disabled_set() function with EINA_TRUE:

    elm_ctxpopup_auto_hide_disabled_set(ctxpopup, EINA_TRUE);

Managing the Ctxpopup Items

The ctxpopup can contain a small number of items. Each item can have a label, an icon, or both.

To manage the ctxpopup items:

  1. Add an item with the elm_ctxpopup_item_append() function.

    To append an item with a test label, no icon, and the clicked callback (_ctxpopup_item_cb):

    Elm_Object_Item *it;

it = elm_ctxpopup_item_append(ctxpopup, "test", NULL, _ctxpopup_item_cb, NULL);

  2. Change the item label and icon:

    • To change the item label to New label:

      elm_object_item_part_text_set(it, "default", "New label");

    • To set the icon to the standard home icon:

      Evas_Object *home_icon = elm_icon_add(ctxpopup);
elm_icon_standard_set(home_icon, "home");

elm_object_item_part_content_set(it, "icon", home_icon);

  3. Define a callback that is triggered when the item is clicked:

    static void
_ctxpopup_item_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "ctxpopup item selected\n");
}

Using the Ctxpopup Callbacks

To receive notifications about the ctxpopup events, listen for the dismissed signal, which is called when the ctxpopup is dismissed.

Note

The signal list in the API reference can be more extensive, but only the above signals are actually supported in Tizen.

The event_info callback parameter is NULL.

To register and define a callback for the dismissed signal:

{
    evas_object_smart_callback_add(ctxpopup, "dismissed", dismissed_cb, data);
}

/* Callback for the "dismissed" signal */
/* Called when the ctxpopup is dismissed */
void
dismissed_cb(void *data, Evas_Object *obj, void *event_info)
{
    dlog_print(DLOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, "Ctxpopup dismissed\n");
}
