Detailed Description
offer to transfer data
The wl_data_source object is the source side of a wl_data_offer. It is created by the source client in a
data transfer and provides a way to describe the offered data and a way to respond to requests to
transfer the data.

Member Enumeration Documentation
enum class wayland::proxy_t::wrapper_type [strong], [inherited]
Underlying wl_proxy type and properties of a proxy_t that affect construction, destruction, and event
handling
Enumerator
standard
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*. Events are dispatched and it is destructed
when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
display
C pointer is a wl_display*. No events are dispatched, wl_display_disconnect is called when the
proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
foreign
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*, but another library owns it and it should
not be touched in a way that could affect the operation of the other library. No events are
dispatched, wl_proxy_destroy is not called when the proxy_t is destructed, user data is not
touched. Consequently, there is no reference counting for the proxy_t. Lifetime of such wrappers
should preferably be short to minimize the chance that the owning library decides to destroy the
wl_proxy.
proxy_wrapper
C pointer is a wl_proxy* that was constructed with wl_proxy_create_wrapper. No events are
dispatched, wl_proxy_wrapper_destroy is called when the proxy_t is destroyed. Reference counting
is active. A reference to the proxy_t creating this proxy wrapper is held to extend its lifetime
until after the proxy wrapper is destroyed.
Definition at line 116 of file wayland-client.hpp.
Member Function Documentation
wl_proxy * wayland::proxy_t::c_ptr () const [inherited]
Get a pointer to the underlying C struct.
Returns
The underlying wl_proxy wrapped by this proxy_t if it exists, otherwise an exception is thrown
bool data_source_t::can_set_actions () const
Check whether the set_actions function is available with the currently bound version of the protocol.
Definition at line 2158 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::string wayland::proxy_t::get_class () const [inherited]
Get the interface name (class) of a proxy object.
Returns
The interface name of the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_id () const [inherited]
Get the id of a proxy object.
Returns
The id the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_version () const [inherited]
Get the protocol object version of a proxy object. Gets the protocol object version of a proxy object, or
0 if the proxy was created with unversioned API.
A returned value of 0 means that no version information is available, so the caller must make safe
assumptions about the object's real version.
display_t will always return version 0.
Returns
The protocol object version of the proxy or 0
wrapper_type wayland::proxy_t::get_wrapper_type () const [inline], [inherited]
Get the type of a proxy object.
Definition at line 302 of file wayland-client.hpp.
void data_source_t::offer (std::string const & mime_type)
add an offered mime type
Parameters
mime_type mime type offered by the data source
This request adds a mime type to the set of mime types advertised to targets. Can be called several times
to offer multiple types.
Definition at line 2147 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void(data_device_manager_dnd_action)> & data_source_t::on_action ()
notify the selected action
Parameters
dnd_action action selected by the compositor
This event indicates the action selected by the compositor after matching the source/destination side
actions. Only one action (or none) will be offered here.
This event can be emitted multiple times during the drag-and-drop operation, mainly in response to
destination side changes through wl_data_offer.set_actions, and as the data device enters/leaves
surfaces.
It is only possible to receive this event after wl_data_source.dnd_drop_performed if the drag-and-drop
operation ended in an 'ask' action, in which case the final wl_data_source.action event will happen
immediately before wl_data_source.dnd_finished.
Compositors may also change the selected action on the fly, mainly in response to keyboard modifier
changes during the drag-and-drop operation.
The most recent action received is always the valid one. The chosen action may change alongside
negotiation (e.g. an 'ask' action can turn into a 'move' operation), so the effects of the final action
must always be applied in wl_data_offer.dnd_finished.
Clients can trigger cursor surface changes from this point, so they reflect the current action.
Definition at line 2189 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void()> & data_source_t::on_cancelled ()
selection was cancelled This data source is no longer valid. There are several reasons why this could
happen:
• The data source has been replaced by another data source.
• The drag-and-drop operation was performed, but the drop destination did not accept any of the mime
types offered through wl_data_source.target.
• The drag-and-drop operation was performed, but the drop destination did not select any of the actions
present in the mask offered through wl_data_source.action.
• The drag-and-drop operation was performed but didn't happen over a surface.
• The compositor cancelled the drag-and-drop operation (e.g. compositor dependent timeouts to avoid stale
drag-and-drop transfers).
The client should clean up and destroy this data source.
For objects of version 2 or older, wl_data_source.cancelled will only be emitted if the data source was
replaced by another data source.
Definition at line 2174 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void()> & data_source_t::on_dnd_drop_performed ()
the drag-and-drop operation physically finished The user performed the drop action. This event does not
indicate acceptance, wl_data_source.cancelled may still be emitted afterwards if the drop destination
does not accept any mime type.
However, this event might however not be received if the compositor cancelled the drag-and-drop operation
before this event could happen.
Note that the data_source may still be used in the future and should not be destroyed here.
Definition at line 2179 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void()> & data_source_t::on_dnd_finished ()
the drag-and-drop operation concluded The drop destination finished interoperating with this data source,
so the client is now free to destroy this data source and free all associated data.
If the action used to perform the operation was 'move', the source can now delete the transferred data.
Definition at line 2184 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void(std::string, int)> & data_source_t::on_send ()
send the data
Parameters
mime_type mime type for the data
fd file descriptor for the data
Request for data from the client. Send the data as the specified mime type over the passed file
descriptor, then close it.
Definition at line 2169 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
std::function< void(std::string)> & data_source_t::on_target ()
a target accepts an offered mime type
Parameters
mime_type mime type accepted by the target
Sent when a target accepts pointer_focus or motion events. If a target does not accept any of the offered
types, type is NULL.
Used for feedback during drag-and-drop.
Definition at line 2164 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
wayland::proxy_t::operator bool () const [inherited]
Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.
Returns
true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty
bool wayland::proxy_t::operator!= (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]
Check whether two wrappers refer to different objects.
bool wayland::proxy_t::operator== (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]
Check whether two wrappers refer to the same object.
bool wayland::proxy_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]
Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.
Returns
true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty
void wayland::proxy_t::proxy_release () [inherited]
Release the wrapped object (if any), making this an empty wrapper. Note that display_t instances cannot
be released this way. Attempts to do so are ignored.
Examples
foreign_display.cpp.
void data_source_t::set_actions (data_device_manager_dnd_action const & dnd_actions)
set the available drag-and-drop actions
Parameters
dnd_actions actions supported by the data source
Sets the actions that the source side client supports for this operation. This request may trigger
wl_data_source.action and wl_data_offer.action events if the compositor needs to change the selected
action.
The dnd_actions argument must contain only values expressed in the wl_data_device_manager.dnd_actions
enum, otherwise it will result in a protocol error.
This request must be made once only, and can only be made on sources used in drag-and-drop, so it must be
performed before wl_data_device.start_drag. Attempting to use the source other than for drag-and-drop
will raise a protocol error.
Definition at line 2153 of file wayland-client-protocol.cpp.
void wayland::proxy_t::set_queue (event_queue_t queue) [inherited]
Assign a proxy to an event queue.
Parameters
queue The event queue that will handle this proxy
Assign proxy to event queue. Events coming from proxy will be queued in queue instead of the display's
main queue.
See also: display_t::dispatch_queue().
Examples
proxy_wrapper.cpp.
