Expand description
The central trait for defining a GObject
interface.
Links together the type name, the empty instance and class structs for type registration and allows hooking into various steps of the type registration and initialization.
See register_interface
for registering an implementation of this trait
with the type system.
Required Associated Types§
sourcetype Prerequisites: PrerequisiteList
type Prerequisites: PrerequisiteList
Prerequisites for this interface.
Any implementer of the interface must be a subclass of the prerequisites or implement them in case of interfaces.
sourcetype Interface: InterfaceStruct<Type = Self>
type Interface: InterfaceStruct<Type = Self>
The C class struct.
Required Associated Constants§
Provided Associated Constants§
sourceconst ALLOW_NAME_CONFLICT: bool = false
const ALLOW_NAME_CONFLICT: bool = false
Allow name conflicts for this class.
By default, trying to register a type with a name that was registered before will panic. If
this is set to true
then a new name will be selected by appending a counter.
This is useful for defining new types in Rust library crates that might be linked multiple times in the same process.
A consequence of setting this to true
is that it’s not guaranteed that
glib::Type::from_name(Self::NAME).unwrap() == Self::type_()
.
Note that this is not allowed for dynamic types. If a dynamic type is registered and a type with that name exists already, it is assumed that they’re the same.
Optional.
Provided Methods§
sourcefn type_init(_type_: &mut InitializingType<Self>)
fn type_init(_type_: &mut InitializingType<Self>)
Additional type initialization.
This is called right after the type was registered and allows interfaces to do additional type-specific initialization.
Optional
sourcefn interface_init(_klass: &mut Self::Interface)
fn interface_init(_klass: &mut Self::Interface)
Interface initialization.
This is called after type_init
and before the first implementor
of the interface is created. Interfaces can use this to do interface-
specific initialization, e.g. for installing signals on the interface,
and for setting default implementations of interface functions.
Optional
sourcefn properties() -> &'static [ParamSpec]
fn properties() -> &'static [ParamSpec]
Properties installed for this interface.
All implementors of the interface must provide these properties.
