EventControllerRef

public struct EventControllerRef : EventControllerProtocol, GWeakCapturing

GtkEventController is the base class for event controllers.

These are ancillary objects associated to widgets, which react to GdkEvents, and possibly trigger actions as a consequence.

Event controllers are added to a widget with [methodGtk.Widget.add_controller]. It is rarely necessary to explicitly remove a controller with [methodGtk.Widget.remove_controller].

See the chapter on input handling for an overview of the basic concepts, such as the capture and bubble phases of even propagation.

The EventControllerRef type acts as a lightweight Swift reference to an underlying GtkEventController instance. It exposes methods that can operate on this data type through EventControllerProtocol conformance. Use EventControllerRef only as an unowned reference to an existing GtkEventController instance.

  • ptr
    Untyped pointer to the underlying `GtkEventController` instance.
    

    For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer event_controller_ptr property instead.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public let ptr: UnsafeMutableRawPointer!
