GTK+ has a rich set of functions for doing inter-process communication via the drag-and-drop metaphor. GTK+ can do drag-and-drop (DND) via multiple protocols. The currently supported protocols are the Xdnd and Motif protocols. As well as the functions listed here, applications may need to use some facilities provided for Selections. Also, the Drag and Drop API makes use of signals in the GtkWidget class.
typedef enum { GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION = 1 << 0, /* respond to "drag_motion" */ GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_HIGHLIGHT = 1 << 1, /* auto-highlight */ GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP = 1 << 2, /* respond to "drag_drop" */ GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL = 0x07 } GtkDestDefaults;
The GtkDestDefaults enumeration specifies the various types of action that will be taken on behalf of the user for a drag destination site.
GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION
|
If set for a widget, GTK+, during a drag over this
widget will check if the drag matches this widget's
list of possible targets and actions.
GTK+ will then call gdk_drag_status() as appropriate.
|
GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_HIGHLIGHT
|
If set for a widget, GTK+ will draw a highlight on this widget as long as a drag is over this widget and the widget drag format and action are acceptable. |
GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP
|
If set for a widget, when a drop occurs, GTK+ will
will check if the drag matches this widget's
list of possible targets and actions. If so,
GTK+ will call gtk_drag_get_data() on behalf
of the widget. Whether or not the drop is successful,
GTK+ will call gtk_drag_finish() . If the action
was a move, then if the drag was successful, then
TRUE will be passed for the delete parameter
to gtk_drag_finish() .
|
GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL
|
If set, specifies that all default actions should be taken. |
typedef enum { GTK_TARGET_SAME_APP = 1 << 0, /*< nick=same-app >*/ GTK_TARGET_SAME_WIDGET = 1 << 1, /*< nick=same-widget >*/ GTK_TARGET_OTHER_APP = 1 << 2, /*< nick=other-app >*/ GTK_TARGET_OTHER_WIDGET = 1 << 3 /*< nick=other-widget >*/ } GtkTargetFlags;
The GtkTargetFlags enumeration is used to specify constraints on an entry in a GtkTargetTable.
void gtk_drag_dest_set (GtkWidget *widget, GtkDestDefaults flags, const GtkTargetEntry *targets, gint n_targets, GdkDragAction actions);
Sets a widget as a potential drop destination, and adds default behaviors.
The default behaviors listed in flags
have an effect similar
to installing default handlers for the widget's drag-and-drop signals
("drag-motion", "drag-drop", ...). They all exist
for convenience. When passing GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_ALL for instance it is
sufficient to connect to the widget's "drag-data-received"
signal to get primitive, but consistent drag-and-drop support.
Things become more complicated when you try to preview the dragged data,
as described in the documentation for "drag-motion". The default
behaviors described by flags
make some assumptions, that can conflict
with your own signal handlers. For instance GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP causes
invokations of gdk_drag_status()
in the context of "drag-motion",
and invokations of gtk_drag_finish()
in "drag-data-received".
Especially the later is dramatic, when your own "drag-motion"
handler calls gtk_drag_get_data()
to inspect the dragged data.
widget : |
a GtkWidget |
flags : |
which types of default drag behavior to use |
targets : |
a pointer to an array of GtkTargetEntrys indicating
the drop types that this widget will accept. Later you can access the list
with gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list() and gtk_drag_dest_find_target() .
|
n_targets : |
the number of entries in targets .
|
actions : |
a bitmask of possible actions for a drop onto this widget .

void gtk_drag_dest_set_proxy (GtkWidget *widget, GdkWindow *proxy_window, GdkDragProtocol protocol, gboolean use_coordinates);
Sets this widget as a proxy for drops to another window.
widget : |
a GtkWidget |
proxy_window : |
the window to which to forward drag events |
protocol : |
the drag protocol which the proxy_window accepts
(You can use gdk_drag_get_protocol() to determine this)
|
use_coordinates : |
If TRUE , send the same coordinates to the
destination, because it is an embedded
subwindow.
|
void gtk_drag_dest_unset (GtkWidget *widget);

GdkAtom gtk_drag_dest_find_target (GtkWidget *widget, GdkDragContext *context, GtkTargetList *target_list);
Looks for a match between context->targets
and the
dest_target_list
, returning the first matching target, otherwise
returning GDK_NONE
. dest_target_list
should usually be the return
value from gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list()
, but some widgets may
have different valid targets for different parts of the widget; in
that case, they will have to implement a drag_motion handler that
passes the correct target list to this function.
widget : |
drag destination widget |
context : |
drag context |
target_list : |
list of droppable targets, or NULL to use
gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list (widget ).
|
Returns : | first target that the source offers and the dest can accept, or GDK_NONE
|
GtkTargetList* gtk_drag_dest_get_target_list (GtkWidget *widget);
Returns the list of targets this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.
widget : |
a GtkWidget |
Returns : | the GtkTargetList, or NULL if none
|
void gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list (GtkWidget *widget, GtkTargetList *target_list);
Sets the target types that this widget can accept from drag-and-drop.
The widget must first be made into a drag destination with
gtk_drag_dest_set()
.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
target_list : |
list of droppable targets, or NULL for none
|
void gtk_drag_dest_add_text_targets (GtkWidget *widget);
Add the text targets supported by GtkSelection to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_text_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
Since 2.6
void gtk_drag_dest_add_image_targets (GtkWidget *widget);
Add the image targets supported by GtkSelection to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_image_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
Since 2.6
void gtk_drag_dest_add_uri_targets (GtkWidget *widget);
Add the URI targets supported by GtkSelection to
the target list of the drag destination. The targets
are added with info
= 0. If you need another value,
use gtk_target_list_add_uri_targets()
and
gtk_drag_dest_set_target_list()
.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
Since 2.6
void gtk_drag_dest_set_track_motion (GtkWidget *widget, gboolean track_motion);
Tells the widget to emit ::drag-motion and ::drag-leave
events regardless of the targets and the GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_MOTION
flag.
This may be used when a widget wants to do generic actions regardless of the targets that the source offers.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
track_motion : |
whether to accept all targets |
Since 2.10
gboolean gtk_drag_dest_get_track_motion (GtkWidget *widget);
Returns whether the widget has been configured to always emit ::drag-motion signals.
widget : |
a GtkWidget that's a drag destination |
Returns : | TRUE if the widget always emits ::drag-motion events
|
Since 2.10
void gtk_drag_finish (GdkDragContext *context, gboolean success, gboolean del, guint32 time_);
Informs the drag source that the drop is finished, and that the data of the drag will no longer be required.
context : |

success : |
a flag indicating whether the drop was successful |
del : |
a flag indicating whether the source should delete the
original data. (This should be TRUE for a move)

void gtk_drag_get_data (GtkWidget *widget, GdkDragContext *context, GdkAtom target, guint32 time_);
Gets the data associated with a drag. When the data
is received or the retrieval fails, GTK+ will emit a
"drag_data_received" signal. Failure of the retrieval
is indicated by the length field of the selection_data
signal parameter being negative. However, when gtk_drag_get_data()
is called implicitely because the GTK_DEST_DEFAULT_DROP
was set,
then the widget will not receive notification of failed
drops.
widget : |
the widget that will receive the "drag_data_received" signal. |
context : |
the drag context |
target : |
the target (form of the data) to retrieve. |

GtkWidget* gtk_drag_get_source_widget (GdkDragContext *context);
Determines the source widget for a drag.
context : |
a (destination side) drag context. |
Returns : | if the drag is occurring within a single application,
a pointer to the source widget. Otherwise, NULL .
|
void gtk_drag_highlight (GtkWidget *widget);
Draws a highlight around a widget. This will attach
handlers to "expose_event" and "draw", so the highlight
will continue to be displayed until gtk_drag_unhighlight()
is called.
widget : |
a widget to highlight |
void gtk_drag_unhighlight (GtkWidget *widget);
Removes a highlight set by gtk_drag_highlight()
from
a widget.
widget : |
a widget to remove the highlight from. |
GdkDragContext* gtk_drag_begin (GtkWidget *widget, GtkTargetList *targets, GdkDragAction actions, gint button, GdkEvent *event);

only needs to be used when the application is
starting drags itself, and is not needed when
gtk_drag_source_set()
is used.
widget : |
the source widget. |
targets : |
The targets (data formats) in which the source can provide the data. |
actions : |
A bitmask of the allowed drag actions for this drag. |
button : |
The button the user clicked to start the drag. |

widget : |
a toplevel window to use as an icon. |
hot_x : |
the X offset within widget of the hotspot.
|
hot_y : |
the Y offset within widget of the hotspot.
|
void gtk_drag_set_icon_pixmap (GdkDragContext *context, GdkColormap *colormap, GdkPixmap *pixmap, GdkBitmap *mask, gint hot_x, gint hot_y);
Sets pixmap
as the icon for a given drag. GTK+ retains
references for the arguments, and will release them when
they are no longer needed. In general, gtk_drag_set_icon_pixbuf()
will be more convenient to use.
context : |
the context for a drag. (This must be called with a context for the source side of a drag) |
colormap : |
the colormap of the icon |
pixmap : |
the image data for the icon |
mask : |

Sets the icon for a given drag from a named themed icon. See
the docs for GtkIconTheme for more details. Note that the
size of the icon depends on the icon theme (the icon is
loaded at the symbolic size GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND), thus
hot_x
and hot_y
have to be used with care.
context : |
the context for a drag. (This must be called with a context for the source side of a drag) |
icon_name : |
name of icon to use |
hot_x : |
the X offset of the hotspot within the icon |

Checks to see if a mouse drag starting at (start_x
, start_y
) and ending
at (current_x
, current_y
) has passed the GTK+ drag threshold, and thus
should trigger the beginning of a drag-and-drop operation.
