Description

GtkWidgetPath is a boxed type that represents a widget hierarchy from the topmost widget, typically a toplevel, to any child. This widget path abstraction is used in GtkStyleContext on behalf of the real widget in order to query style information.

If you are using GTK+ widgets, you probably will not need to use this API directly, as there is gtk_widget_get_path(), and the style context returned by gtk_widget_get_style_context() will be automatically updated on widget hierarchy changes.

The widget path generation is generally simple:

Example 40. Defining a button within a window

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
{
  GtkWidgetPath *path;

  path = gtk_widget_path_new ();
  gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW);
  gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_BUTTON);
}


Although more complex information, such as widget names, or different classes (property that may be used by other widget types) and intermediate regions may be included:

Example 41. Defining the first tab widget in a notebook

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
{
  GtkWidgetPath *path;
  guint pos;

  path = gtk_widget_path_new ();

  pos = gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_NOTEBOOK);
  gtk_widget_path_iter_add_region (path, pos, "tab", GTK_REGION_EVEN | GTK_REGION_FIRST);

  pos = gtk_widget_path_append_type (path, GTK_TYPE_LABEL);
  gtk_widget_path_iter_set_name (path, pos, "first tab label");
}


All this information will be used to match the style information that applies to the described widget.
