gtk_set_locale ()

gchar *
gtk_set_locale (void);

Initializes internationalization support for GTK+. gtk_init() automatically does this, so there is typically no point in calling this function.

If you are calling this function because you changed the locale after GTK+ is was initialized, then calling this function may help a bit. (Note, however, that changing the locale after GTK+ is initialized may produce inconsistent results and is not really supported.)

In detail - sets the current locale according to the program environment. This is the same as calling the C library function setlocale (LC_ALL, "") but also takes care of the locale specific setup of the windowing system used by GDK.

gtk_disable_setlocale ()

void
gtk_disable_setlocale (void);

Prevents gtk_init(), gtk_init_check(), gtk_init_with_args() and gtk_parse_args() from automatically calling setlocale (LC_ALL, ""). You would want to use this function if you wanted to set the locale for your program to something other than the user's locale, or if you wanted to set different values for different locale categories.

Most programs should not need to call this function.

gtk_get_default_language ()

PangoLanguage *
gtk_get_default_language (void);

Returns the PangoLanguage for the default language currently in effect. (Note that this can change over the life of an application.) The default language is derived from the current locale. It determines, for example, whether GTK+ uses the right-to-left or left-to-right text direction.

This function is equivalent to pango_language_get_default(). See that function for details.

gtk_parse_args ()

gboolean
gtk_parse_args (int *argc,
                char ***argv);

Parses command line arguments, and initializes global attributes of GTK+, but does not actually open a connection to a display. (See gdk_display_open(), gdk_get_display_arg_name())

Any arguments used by GTK+ or GDK are removed from the array and argc and argv are updated accordingly.

There is no need to call this function explicitely if you are using gtk_init(), or gtk_init_check().

gtk_init ()

void
gtk_init (int *argc,
          char ***argv);

Call this function before using any other GTK+ functions in your GUI applications. It will initialize everything needed to operate the toolkit and parses some standard command line options.

argc and argv are adjusted accordingly so your own code will never see those standard arguments.

Note that there are some alternative ways to initialize GTK+: if you are calling gtk_parse_args(), gtk_init_check(), gtk_init_with_args() or g_option_context_parse() with the option group returned by gtk_get_option_group(), you don't have to call gtk_init().

gtk_init_check ()

gboolean
gtk_init_check (int *argc,
                char ***argv);

This function does the same work as gtk_init() with only a single change: It does not terminate the program if the GUI can't be initialized. Instead it returns FALSE on failure.

This way the application can fall back to some other means of communication with the user - for example a curses or command line interface.

gtk_init_with_args ()

gboolean
gtk_init_with_args (int *argc,
                    char ***argv,
                    const char *parameter_string,
                    GOptionEntry *entries,
                    const char *translation_domain,
                    GError **error);

This function does the same work as gtk_init_check(). Additionally, it allows you to add your own commandline options, and it automatically generates nicely formatted --help output. Note that your program will be terminated after writing out the help output.

gtk_get_option_group ()

GOptionGroup *
gtk_get_option_group (gboolean open_default_display);

Returns a GOptionGroup for the commandline arguments recognized by GTK+ and GDK. You should add this group to your GOptionContext with g_option_context_add_group(), if you are using g_option_context_parse() to parse your commandline arguments.

gtk_key_snooper_remove ()

void
gtk_key_snooper_remove (guint snooper_handler_id);

gtk_get_current_event ()

GdkEvent *
gtk_get_current_event (void);

Obtains a copy of the event currently being processed by GTK+. For example, if you get a "clicked" signal from GtkButton, the current event will be the GdkEventButton that triggered the "clicked" signal. The returned event must be freed with gdk_event_free(). If there is no current event, the function returns NULL.

gtk_get_current_event_time ()

guint32
gtk_get_current_event_time (void);

If there is a current event and it has a timestamp, return that timestamp, otherwise return GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

gtk_get_current_event_state ()

gboolean
gtk_get_current_event_state (GdkModifierType *state);

If there is a current event and it has a state field, place that state field in state and return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.

gtk_get_event_widget ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_get_event_widget (GdkEvent *event);

If event is NULL or the event was not associated with any widget, returns NULL, otherwise returns the widget that received the event originally.

gtk_propagate_event ()

void
gtk_propagate_event (GtkWidget *widget,
                     GdkEvent *event);

Sends an event to a widget, propagating the event to parent widgets if the event remains unhandled. Events received by GTK+ from GDK normally begin in gtk_main_do_event(). Depending on the type of event, existence of modal dialogs, grabs, etc., the event may be propagated; if so, this function is used. gtk_propagate_event() calls gtk_widget_event() on each widget it decides to send the event to. So gtk_widget_event() is the lowest-level function; it simply emits the "event" and possibly an event-specific signal on a widget. gtk_propagate_event() is a bit higher-level, and gtk_main_do_event() is the highest level.

All that said, you most likely don't want to use any of these functions; synthesizing events is rarely needed. Consider asking on the mailing list for better ways to achieve your goals. For example, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gtk_widget_queue_draw() instead of making up expose events.
