Method

Gtk.Expression.watch

Declaration [src]

GtkExpressionWatch*
gtk_expression_watch (
  GtkExpression* self,
  GObject* this_,
  GtkExpressionNotify notify,
  gpointer user_data,
  GDestroyNotify user_destroy
)

Description [src]

Installs a watch for the given expression that calls the notify function whenever the evaluation of self may have changed.

GTK cannot guarantee that the evaluation did indeed change when the notify gets invoked, but it guarantees the opposite: When it did in fact change, the notify will be invoked.

Parameters

this_ GObject*
 

the this argument to watch

 Can be NULL
 Ownership is not transferred to the callee
notify GtkExpressionNotify
 

callback to invoke when the expression changes

user_data gpointer
 

user data to pass to the notify callback

user_destroy GDestroyNotify
 

destroy notify for user_data

Return value

Returns: GtkExpressionWatch

The newly installed watch. Note that the only reference held to the watch will be released when the watch is unwatched which can happen automatically, and not just via gtk_expression_watch_unwatch(). You should call gtk_expression_watch_ref() if you want to keep the watch around.

Ownership is not transferred to the caller
