## Description

The GdkDevice object represents a single input device, such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touchpad, etc.

See the GdkDeviceManager documentation for more information about the various kinds of master and slave devices, and their relationships.

## Functions

### gdk_device_get_name ()

    const gchar *
    gdk_device_get_name (GdkDevice *device);

Determines the name of the device.

#### Parameters

device | a GdkDevice |

#### Returns

a name

Since: 2.20

### gdk_device_get_vendor_id ()

    const gchar *
    gdk_device_get_vendor_id (GdkDevice *device);

Returns the vendor ID of this device, or `NULL` if this information couldn't be obtained. This ID is retrieved from the device, and is thus constant for it.

This function, together with `gdk_device_get_product_id()`, can be used to eg. compose GSettings paths to store settings for this device.

Warps `device` in `display` to the point `x` ,`y` on the screen `screen` , unless the device is confined to a window by a grab, in which case it will be moved as far as allowed by the grab. Warping the pointer creates events as if the user had moved the mouse instantaneously to the destination.

Note that the pointer should normally be under the control of the user. This function was added to cover some rare use cases like keyboard navigation support for the color picker in the GtkColorSelectionDialog.

#### Parameters

device | the device to warp. |
screen | the screen to warp `device` to. |
x | the X coordinate of the destination. |
y | the Y coordinate of the destination. |

### gdk_device_grab ()

    GdkGrabStatus
    gdk_device_grab (GdkDevice *device,
                     GdkWindow *window,
                     GdkGrabOwnership grab_ownership,
                     gboolean owner_events,
                     GdkEventMask event_mask,
                     GdkCursor *cursor,
                     guint32 time_);

Grabs the device so that all events coming from this device are passed to this application until the device is ungrabbed with `gdk_device_ungrab()`, or the window becomes unviewable. This overrides any previous grab on the device by this client.

Note that `device` and `window` need to be on the same display.

Device grabs are used for operations which need complete control over the given device events (either pointer or keyboard). For example in GTK+ this is used for Drag and Drop operations, popup menus and such.

Note that if the event mask of an X window has selected both button press and button release events, then a button press event will cause an automatic pointer grab until the button is released. X does this automatically since most applications expect to receive button press and release events in pairs. It is equivalent to a pointer grab on the window with `owner_events` set to `TRUE`.

If you set up anything at the time you take the grab that needs to be cleaned up when the grab ends, you should handle the GdkEventGrabBroken events that are emitted when the grab ends unvoluntarily.

#### Parameters

device | a GdkDevice. To get the device you can use `gtk_get_current_event_device()` or `gdk_event_get_device()` if the grab is in reaction to an event. Also, you can use `gdk_device_manager_get_client_pointer()` but only in code that isn’t triggered by a GdkEvent and there aren’t other means to get a meaningful GdkDevice to operate on. |
window | the GdkWindow which will own the grab (the grab window) |
grab_ownership | specifies the grab ownership. |
owner_events | if `FALSE` then all device events are reported with respect to `window` and are only reported if selected by `event_mask` . If `TRUE` then pointer events for this application are reported as normal, but pointer events outside this application are reported with respect to `window` and only if selected by `event_mask` . In either mode, unreported events are discarded. |
event_mask | specifies the event mask, which is used in accordance with `owner_events` . |
cursor | the cursor to display while the grab is active if the device is a pointer. If this is `NULL` then the normal cursors are used for `window` and its descendants, and the cursor for `window` is used elsewhere. | [allow-none]
time_ | the timestamp of the event which led to this pointer grab. This usually comes from the GdkEvent struct, though `GDK_CURRENT_TIME` can be used if the time isn’t known. |

#### Returns

`GDK_GRAB_SUCCESS` if the grab was successful.

Since: 3.0

### gdk_device_ungrab ()

    void
    gdk_device_ungrab (GdkDevice *device,
                       guint32 time_);

#### Parameters

                          GdkModifierType *mask);

Gets the current state of a pointer device relative to `window` . As a slave device’s coordinates are those of its master pointer, this function may not be called on devices of type `GDK_DEVICE_TYPE_SLAVE`, unless there is an ongoing grab on them. See `gdk_device_grab()`.

[skip]

                                    gdouble *y);

Gets the current location of `device` in double precision. As a slave device's coordinates are those of its master pointer, this function may not be called on devices of type `GDK_DEVICE_TYPE_SLAVE`, unless there is an ongoing grab on them. See `gdk_device_grab()`.

#### Parameters

Obtains the window underneath `device` , returning the location of the device in `win_x` and `win_y` . Returns `NULL` if the window tree under `device` is not known to GDK (for example, belongs to another application).

### enum GdkDeviceType

Indicates the device type. See above for more information about the meaning of these device types.

#### Members

GDK_DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER | Device is a master (or virtual) device. There will be an associated focus indicator on the screen. |
GDK_DEVICE_TYPE_SLAVE | Device is a slave (or physical) device. |

### enum GdkGrabOwnership

Defines how device grabs interact with other devices.

#### Members

GDK_OWNERSHIP_NONE | All other devices’ events are allowed. |
GDK_OWNERSHIP_WINDOW | Other devices’ events are blocked for the grab window. |
GDK_OWNERSHIP_APPLICATION | Other devices’ events are blocked for the whole application. |

### struct GdkTimeCoord

    struct GdkTimeCoord {
      guint32 time;
      gdouble axes[GDK_MAX_TIMECOORD_AXES];
    };

A GdkTimeCoord stores a single event in a motion history.

#### Members

guint32 `time`; | The timestamp for this event. |
gdouble `axes`[GDK_MAX_TIMECOORD_AXES]; | the values of the device’s axes. |

## Property Details

### The `“associated-device”` property

      “associated-device”        GdkDevice *

      “display”                  GdkDisplay *

The GdkDisplay the GdkDevice pertains to.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Since: 3.0

### The `“has-cursor”` property

      “has-cursor”               gboolean

Whether the device is represented by a cursor on the screen. Devices of type `GDK_DEVICE_TYPE_MASTER` will have `TRUE` here.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: FALSE

Since: 3.0

### The `“input-mode”` property

      “input-mode”               GdkInputMode

Input mode for the device.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: GDK_MODE_DISABLED

### The `“input-source”` property

      “input-source”             GdkInputSource

Source type for the device.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: GDK_SOURCE_MOUSE

Since: 3.0

### The `“n-axes”` property

      “n-axes”                   guint

Number of axes in the device.

Flags: Read

Default value: 0

Since: 3.0

### The `“name”` property

      “name”                     gchar *

The device name.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

Since: 3.0

### The `“product-id”` property

      “product-id”               gchar *

Product ID of this device, see `gdk_device_get_product_id()`.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

Default value: NULL

Since: 3.16

### The `“type”` property

      “type”                     GdkDeviceType

Device role in the device manager.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct Only

## Signal Details

### The `“changed”` signal

    void
    user_function (GdkDevice *device,
                   gpointer   user_data)

The ::changed signal is emitted either when the GdkDevice has changed the number of either axes or keys. For example In X this will normally happen when the slave device routing events through the master device changes (for example, user switches from the USB mouse to a tablet), in that case the master device will change to reflect the new slave device axes and keys.

#### Parameters

device | the GdkDevice that changed. |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run Last
