## Detailed Description

This object stores styling information affecting a widget defined by WidgetPath.

In order to construct the final style information, StyleContext queries information from all attached StyleProviders. Style providers can be either attached explicitly to the context through add_provider(), or to the screen through add_provider_for_screen(). The resulting style is a combination of all providers' information in priority order.

For GTK+ widgets, any StyleContext returned by Widget::get_style_context() will already have a WidgetPath, a Gdk::Screen and RTL/LTR information set, The style context will be also updated automatically if any of these settings change on the widget.

If you are using the theming layer standalone, you will need to set a widget path and a screen yourself to the created style context through set_path() and set_screen(), as well as updating the context yourself using invalidate() whenever any of the conditions change, such as a change in the Settings::property_gtk_theme_name() setting or a hierarchy change in the rendered widget.

Transition animations

StyleContext has built-in support for state change transitions. Note that these animations respect the Settings::property_gtk_enable_animations() setting.

For simple widgets where state changes affect the whole widget area, calling notify_state_change() with a no region is sufficient to trigger the transition animation. And GTK+ already does that when Widget::set_state() or Widget::set_state_flags() are called.

If a widget needs to declare several animatable regions (i.e. not affecting the whole widget area), its Widget::signal_draw() signal handler needs to wrap the render operations for the different regions with calls to push_animatable_region() and pop_animatable_region(). These methods take an identifier for the region which must be unique within the style context. For simple widgets with a fixed set of animatable regions, using an enumeration works well.

For complex widgets with an arbitrary number of animatable regions, it is up to the implementation to come up with a way to uniquely identify each animatable region. Using pointers to internal objects is one way to achieve this.

The widget also needs to notify the style context about a state change for a given animatable region so the animation is triggered. notify_state_change() can take no region IDs, meaning that the whole widget area will be updated by the animation.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::StyleContext::~StyleContext | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gtk::StyleContext::StyleContext | ( |  | ) | `[protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::StyleContext::add_class | ( | const Glib::ustring & | class_name | ) |

Adds a style class to context, so posterior calls to get() or any of the gtk_render_*() functions will make use of this new class for styling.

In the CSS file format, a Gtk::Entry defining an "entry" class, would be matched by:

GtkEntry.entry { ... }

While any widget defining an "entry" class would be matched by:

.entry { ... }

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  class_name | Class name to use in styling.

void Gtk::StyleContext::add_provider | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< StyleProvider >& | provider,
|  | guint | priority
| ) |  |

Adds a style provider to context, to be used in style construction.

<note>If both priorities are the same, A Gtk::StyleProvider added through this function takes precedence over another added through add_provider_for_screen().</note>

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  provider | A Gtk::StyleProvider.
  priority | The priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between Gtk::STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK and Gtk::STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER.

static void Gtk::StyleContext::add_provider_for_screen | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Screen >& | screen,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< StyleProvider >& | provider,
|  | guint | priority
| ) |  | `[static]`

Adds a global style provider to screen, which will be used in style construction for all Gtk::StyleContexts under screen.

GTK+ uses this to make styling information from Gtk::Settings available.

<note>If both priorities are the same, A Gtk::StyleProvider added through add_provider() takes precedence over another added through this function.</note>

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  screen | A Gdk::Screen.
  provider | A Gtk::StyleProvider.
  priority | The priority of the style provider. The lower it is, the earlier it will be used in the style construction. Typically this will be in the range between Gtk::STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_FALLBACK and Gtk::STYLE_PROVIDER_PRIORITY_USER.

void Gtk::StyleContext::add_region | ( | const Glib::ustring & | region_name,
|  | RegionFlags | flags
| ) |  |

Adds a region to context, so posterior calls to get() or any of the gtk_render_*() functions will make use of this new region for styling.

In the CSS file format, a Gtk::TreeView defining a "row" region, would be matched by:

GtkTreeView row { ... }

Pseudo-classes are used for matching flags, so the two following rules:

GtkTreeView row:nth-child(even) { ... } GtkTreeView row:nth-child(odd) { ... }

would apply to even and odd rows, respectively.

<note>Region names must only contain lowercase letters and '-', starting always with a lowercase letter.</note>

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  region_name | Region name to use in styling.
  flags | Flags that apply to the region.

void Gtk::StyleContext::cancel_animations | ( | gpointer | region_id | ) |

Stops all running animations for region_id and all animatable regions underneath.

A `0` region_id will stop all ongoing animations in context, when dealing with a Gtk::StyleContext obtained through Gtk::Widget::get_style_context(), this is normally done for you in all circumstances you would expect all widget to be stopped, so this should be only used in complex widgets with different animatable regions.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  region_id | Animatable region to stop, or `0`. See push_animatable_region().

void Gtk::StyleContext::context_restore | ( |  | ) |

Restores context state to a previous stage.

See save().

Since gtkmm 3.0:

void Gtk::StyleContext::context_save | ( |  | ) |

Saves the context state, so all modifications done through add_class(), remove_class(), add_region(), remove_region() or set_junction_sides() can be reverted in one go through restore().

void Gtk::StyleContext::notify_state_change | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Window >& | window,
|  | gpointer | region_id,
|  | StateType | state,
|  | bool | state_value
| ) |  |

Notifies a state change on context, so if the current style makes use of transition animations, one will be started so all rendered elements under region_id are animated for state state being set to value state_value.

The window parameter is used in order to invalidate the rendered area as the animation runs, so make sure it is the same window that is being rendered on by the gtk_render_*() functions.

If region_id is `0`, all rendered elements using context will be affected by this state transition.

As a practical example, a Gtk::Button notifying a state transition on the prelight state:

gtk_style_context_notify_state_change (context, gtk_widget_get_window (widget), `0`, GTK_STATE_PRELIGHT, button->in_button);

Can be handled in the CSS file like this:

GtkButton { background-color: #f00 }

GtkButton:hover { background-color: #fff; transition: 200ms linear }

This combination will animate the button background from red to white if a pointer enters the button, and back to red if the pointer leaves the button.

Note that state is used when finding the transition parameters, which is why the style places the transition under the :hover pseudo-class.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  window | A Gdk::Window.
  region_id | Animatable region to notify on, or `0`. See push_animatable_region().
  state | State to trigger transition for.
  state_value | `true` if state is the state we are changing to, `false` if we are changing away from it.

virtual void Gtk::StyleContext::on_changed | ( |  | ) | `[protected, virtual]`

This is a default handler for the signal signal_changed().

void Gtk::StyleContext::pop_animatable_region | ( |  | ) |

This function is analogous to gdk_window_scroll(), and should be called together with it so the invalidation areas for any ongoing animation are scrolled together with it.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  window | A Gdk::Window used previously in notify_state_change().
  dx | Amount to scroll in the X axis.
  dy | Amount to scroll in the Y axis.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_background | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Window >& | window | ) |

  window | A Gdk::Window.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_direction | ( | TextDirection | direction | ) |

Sets the reading direction for rendering purposes.

If you are using a Gtk::StyleContext returned from Gtk::Widget::get_style_context(), you do not need to call this yourself.

Parameters:

  direction | The new direction.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_junction_sides | ( | JunctionSides | sides | ) |

Sets the sides where rendered elements (mostly through gtk_render_frame()) will visually connect with other visual elements.

This is merely a hint that may or may not be honored by theming engines.

Container widgets are expected to set junction hints as appropriate for their children, so it should not normally be necessary to call this function manually.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  sides | Sides where rendered elements are visually connected to other elements.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_parent | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< StyleContext >& | parent | ) |

Sets the parent style context for context.

The parent style context is used to implement inheritance of properties.

If you are using a Gtk::StyleContext returned from Gtk::Widget::get_style_context(), the parent will be set for you.

Since gtkmm 3.4:

Parameters:

  parent | The new parent or `0`.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_path | ( | const WidgetPath& | path | ) |

Sets the Gtk::WidgetPath used for style matching.

As a consequence, the style will be regenerated to match the new given path.

If you are using a Gtk::StyleContext returned from Gtk::Widget::get_style_context(), you do not need to call this yourself.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  path | A Gtk::WidgetPath.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_screen | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Screen >& | screen | ) |

Attaches context to the given screen.

The screen is used to add style information from 'global' style providers, such as the screens Gtk::Settings instance.

If you are using a Gtk::StyleContext returned from Gtk::Widget::get_style_context(), you do not need to call this yourself.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  screen | A Gdk::Screen.

void Gtk::StyleContext::set_state | ( | StateFlags | flags | ) |

Sets the state to be used when rendering with any of the gtk_render_*() functions.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  flags | State to represent.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::StyleContext::signal_changed | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_changed()`

bool Gtk::StyleContext::state_is_running | ( | StateType | state,
|  | gdouble * | progress
| ) |  |

Returns `true` if there is a transition animation running for the current region (see push_animatable_region()).

If progress is not `0`, the animation progress will be returned there, 0.0 means the state is closest to being unset, while 1.0 means it's closest to being set. This means transition animation will run from 0 to 1 when state is being set and from 1 to 0 when it's being unset.

Since gtkmm 3.0:

Parameters:

  state | A widget state.
  progress | Return location for the transition progress.

Returns:
  `true` if there is a running transition animation for state.
