## Detailed Description

This is used to handle, for instance, startup notification and launching of the new application on the same screen as the launching window.

See also AppInfo.

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::AppLaunchContext::~AppLaunchContext | ( |  | ) |
| virtual

Gio::AppLaunchContext::AppLaunchContext | ( |  | ) |
| protected

## Member Function Documentation

static Glib::RefPtr<AppLaunchContext> Gio::AppLaunchContext::create | ( |  | ) |
| static

std::string Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_display | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& | info,
|  | const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& | files
| ) |  |

Gets the display string for the context.

This is used to ensure new applications are started on the same display as the launching application, by setting the `DISPLAY` environment variable.

Parameters

  info | A AppInfo.
  files | A List of File objects.

Returns
  A display string for the display.

std::vector<Glib::ustring> Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_environment | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the complete environment variable list to be passed to the child process when context is used to launch an application.

This is a `0`-terminated array of strings, where each string has the form `KEY=VALUE`.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Returns
  The child's environment.

std::string Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_startup_notify_id | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& | info,
|  | const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& | files
| ) |  |

Initiates startup notification for the application and returns the `DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID` for the launched operation, if supported.

Startup notification IDs are defined in the FreeDesktop.Org Startup Notifications standard.

Parameters

  info | A AppInfo.
  files | A List of of File objects.

Returns
  A startup notification ID for the application, or `0` if not supported.

static GType Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

void Gio::AppLaunchContext::launch_failed | ( | const std::string & | startup_notify_id | ) |

Called when an application has failed to launch, so that it can cancel the application startup notification started in g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id().

Parameters

  startup_notify_id | The startup notification id that was returned by g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id().

void Gio::AppLaunchContext::setenv | ( | const Glib::ustring& | variable,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | value
| ) |  |

Arranges for variable to be set to value in the child's environment when context is used to launch an application.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  variable | The environment variable to set.
  value | The value for to set the variable to.

void Gio::AppLaunchContext::unsetenv | ( | const Glib::ustring& | variable | ) |

Arranges for variable to be unset in the child's environment when context is used to launch an application.

Since glibmm 2.32:

Parameters

  variable | The environment variable to remove.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AppLaunchContext > wrap | ( | GAppLaunchContext * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  |
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
