EventControllerMotionSignalName

Signals that the pointer has entered the widget.

Signals that the pointer has left the widget.

Emitted when the pointer moves inside the widget.

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.

Note that getting this signal doesn’t itself guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed. When it is emitted is determined by the derived GObject class. If the implementor did not create the property with G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then any call to g_object_set_property() results in notify being emitted, even if the new value is the same as the old. If they did pass G_PARAM_EXPLICIT_NOTIFY, then this signal is emitted only when they explicitly call g_object_notify() or g_object_notify_by_pspec(), and common practice is to do that only when the value has actually changed.

This signal is typically used to obtain change notification for a single property, by specifying the property name as a detail in the g_signal_connect() call, like this:

(C Language Example):

g_signal_connect (text_view->buffer, "notify::paste-target-list",
                  G_CALLBACK (gtk_text_view_target_list_notify),
                  text_view)

It is important to note that you must use canonical parameter names as detail strings for the notify signal.

Whether the pointer is in the controllers widget or a descendant.

When handling crossing events, this property is updated before [signalGtk.EventControllerMotion::enter], but after [signalGtk.EventControllerMotion::leave] is emitted.

Whether the pointer is in the controllers widget itself, as opposed to in a descendent widget.

See also [propertyGtk.EventControllerMotion:contains-pointer].

When handling crossing events, this property is updated before [signalGtk.EventControllerMotion::enter], but after [signalGtk.EventControllerMotion::leave] is emitted.

The name for this controller, typically used for debugging purposes.

The limit for which events this controller will handle.

The propagation phase at which this controller will handle events.

The widget receiving the GdkEvents that the controller will handle.
