This reverts commit 6a164ab306dad9096bde736c907494c71086d3c4.
The function was awkward and we now have only one caller again, so we
can fold it back into it.
This is a container widget that takes over all the duties of tree
expanding and collapsing.
It has to be a container so it can capture keybindings while focus is
inside the listitem.
So far, this widget does not allow interacting with it, but it shows the
expander arrow in its correct state.
Also, testlistview uses this widget now instead of implementing
expanding itself.
Due to the many different ways to set factories, it makes sense to
expose them as custom objects.
This makes the actual APIs for the list widgets simpler, because they
can just have a regular "factory" property.
As a convenience function, gtk_list_view_new_with_factory() was added
to make this whole approach easy to use from C.
Also refactor the whole list item management yet again.
Now, list item APIs doesn't have bind/unbind functions anymore, but only
property setters.
The item factory is the only one doing the binding.
As before, the item manager manages when items need to be bound.
It's all stubs for now, but here's the basic ideas about what
this object is supposed to do:
(1) It's supposed to be handling all the child GtkWidgets that are
used by the listview, so that the listview can concern
itself with how many items it needs and where to put them.
(2) It's meant to do the caching of widgets that are not (currently)
used.
(3) It's meant to track items that remain in the model across
items-changed emissions and just change position.
(2) It's code that can be shared between listview and potential
other widgets like a GridView.
It's also free to assume that the number of items it's supposed to
manage doesn't grow too much, so it's free to use O(N) algorithms.
Thisis the abstraction I intend to use for creating widgets and binding
them to the item out of the listview.
For now this is a very dumb wrapper around the functions that exist in
the API.
But it leaves the freedom to turn this into public API, make an
interface out of it and most of all write different implementations, in
particular one that uses GtkBuilder.
This is an enum that we're gonna use soon and it's worth introducing as a
separate commit.
The intention is to have meaningful names for return values in
comparison functions.
Users provide a search filter and an expression that evaluates the items
to a string and then the filter goes and matches those strings to the
search term.
GtkExpressions allow looking up values from objects.
There are a few simple expressions, but the main one is the closure
expression that just calls a user-provided closure.
GtkBuilderScope is an interface that provides the scope that a builder
instance operates in.
It creates closures and resolves types. Language bindings are meant to
use this interface to customize the behavior of builder files, in
particular when instantiating templates.
A default implementation for C is provided via GtkBuilderCScope (to keep
with the awkward naming that glib uses for closures). It is derivable on
purpose so that languages or extensions that extend C can use it.
The reftest code in fact does derive GtkBuilderCScope for its own scope
implementation that implements looking up symbols in modules.
gtk-widget-factory was updated to use the new GtkBuilderCScope to add
its custom callback symbols.
So it does it different from gtk-demo, which uses the normal way of
exporting symbols for dlsym() and thereby makes the 2 demos test the 2
ways GtkBuilder uses for looking up symbols.
Use it as the default object for expression binds and when connecting
signals. It is intended to work kind of as the "this" object while
parsing. In fact, the term "current object" was stolen from the Java
docs and various C++ tutorials for the this pointer.
Set the current object in gtk_widget_init_template() and
GtkListItemBuilder.
This more-or-less replaces the object passed to
gtk_builder_connect_signals() in GTK3.
gtk_builder_connect_signals() is no longer necessary, because all the
setup that made it necessary to have this extra step is now done
automatically via the closure functions.
This will be the future way to connect signals automatically (and be
used for other things, too).
For now, gtk_builder_connect_signals_default() is ported to use it.
The "iconified" state is mostly an X11-ism; every other platform calls
this state "minimized" because it may not involve turning a window into
an icon at all.
GTK uses the Meson `buildtype` option to determine whether to enable or
disable debugging code and safeties. We should document our behaviour
and expectations.
