Description

The base class of the Gtk+ type hierarchy.

- Each widget is a represented as a purely abstract data type. It can only be accessed through and the special access functions that are defined in each widget file.

Synopsis

- data Object
- class GObjectClass o => ObjectClass o
- castToObject :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> Object
- gTypeObject :: GType
- toObject :: ObjectClass o => o -> Object
- makeNewObject :: ObjectClass obj => (ForeignPtr obj -> obj, FinalizerPtr obj) -> IO (Ptr obj) -> IO obj
- type GWeakNotify = FunPtr (Ptr () -> Ptr GObject -> IO ())
- objectWeakref :: ObjectClass o => o -> IO () -> IO GWeakNotify
- objectWeakunref :: ObjectClass o => o -> GWeakNotify -> IO ()
- objectDestroy :: ObjectClass self => Signal self (IO ())

# Detail

`Object` is the base class for all widgets, and for a few non-widget objects such as `Adjustment`. `Object` predates `GObject`; non-widgets that derive from `Object` rather than `GObject` do so for backward compatibility reasons.

castToObject :: GObjectClass obj => obj -> Object

gTypeObject :: GType

toObject :: ObjectClass o => o -> Object

# Methods

makeNewObject :: ObjectClass obj => (ForeignPtr obj -> obj, FinalizerPtr obj) -> IO (Ptr obj) -> IO obj

# Weak references

type GWeakNotify = FunPtr (Ptr () -> Ptr GObject -> IO ())

objectWeakref :: ObjectClass o => o -> IO () -> IO GWeakNotify

Attach a callback that will be called after the destroy hooks have been called

objectWeakunref :: ObjectClass o => o -> GWeakNotify -> IO ()

Detach a weak destroy callback function

# Signals

objectDestroy :: ObjectClass self => Signal self (IO ())

Signals that all holders of a reference to the `Object` should release the reference that they hold. May result in finalization of the object if all references are released.
