toGObject :: (GObjectClass o, GObjectClass o) => o -> GObject
Safe upcast.
unsafeCastGObject :: (GObjectClass o, GObjectClass o) => GObject -> o
Unchecked downcast.
castToGObject :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> obj
Low level binding functions
All these functions are internal and are only interesting to people writing bindings to GObject-style C libraries.
objectNew :: GType -> [(String, GValue)] -> IO (Ptr GObject)
Construct a new object (should rairly be used directly)
objectRef :: GObjectClass obj => Ptr obj -> IO ()
Increase the reference counter of an object
objectUnref :: FinalizerPtr a
Decrease the reference counter of an object
objectRefSink :: GObjectClass obj => Ptr obj -> IO ()
Reference and sink an object.
makeNewGObject
:: GObjectClass obj
=> ForeignPtr obj -> objconstructor for the Haskell object
-> IO (Ptr obj)action which yields a pointer to the C object
-> IO obj

This function wraps any object that does not derive from Object. It should be used whenever a function returns a pointer to an existing GObject (as opposed to a function that constructs a new object).

  • The first argument is the contructor of the specific object.
constructNewGObject :: GObjectClass obj => (ForeignPtr obj -> obj) -> IO (Ptr obj) -> IO obj
This function wraps any object that does not derive from Object. The object is NOT reference, hence it should be used when a new object is created. Newly created GObjects have a reference count of one, hence don't need ref'ing.
GType queries
isA :: GObjectClass o => o -> GType -> Bool
Determine if this is an instance of a particular GTK type
Callback support
type DestroyNotify = FunPtr (Ptr () -> IO ())
mkFunPtrDestroyNotify :: FunPtr a -> IO DestroyNotify
Many methods in classes derived from GObject take a callback function and a destructor function which is called to free that callback function when it is no longer required. This function constructs a DestroyNotify function pointer which when called from C land will free the given Haskell function pointer (and itself).
Weak references
type GWeakNotify = FunPtr (Ptr () -> Ptr GObject -> IO ())
objectWeakref :: GObjectClass o => o -> IO () -> IO GWeakNotify
Attach a callback that will be called after the destroy hooks have been called
objectWeakunref :: GObjectClass o => o -> GWeakNotify -> IO ()
Detach a weak destroy callback function
User-Defined Attributes
type Quark = CUInt
quarkFromString :: String -> IO Quark
Create a unique id based on the given string.
objectCreateAttribute :: GObjectClass o => IO (Attr o (Maybe a))

Add an attribute to this object.

  • The function returns a new attribute that can be set or retrieved from any GObject. The attribute is wrapped in a Maybe type to reflect the circumstance when the attribute is not set or if it should be unset.
objectSetAttribute :: GObjectClass o => Quark -> o -> Maybe a -> IO ()
Set the value of an association.
objectGetAttributeUnsafe :: GObjectClass o => Quark -> o -> IO (Maybe a)

Get the value of an association.

  • Note that this function may crash the Haskell run-time since the returned type can be forced to be anything. See objectCreateAttribute for a safe wrapper around this funciton.
