Overlay

GtkOverlay is a container which contains a single main child, on top of which it can place “overlay” widgets. The position of each overlay widget is determined by its halign and valign properties. E.g. a widget with both alignments set to GTK_ALIGN_START will be placed at the top left corner of the GtkOverlay container, whereas an overlay with halign set to GTK_ALIGN_CENTER and valign set to GTK_ALIGN_END will be placed a the bottom edge of the GtkOverlay, horizontally centered. The position can be adjusted by setting the margin properties of the child to non-zero values.

More complicated placement of overlays is possible by connecting to the get-child-position signal.

GtkOverlay as GtkBuildable

The GtkOverlay implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child as an overlay by specifying “overlay” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.

CSS nodes

GtkOverlay has a single CSS node with the name “overlay”. Overlay children whose alignments cause them to be positioned at an edge get the style classes “.left”, “.right”, “.top”, and/or “.bottom” according to their position.

Functions

addOnGetChildPosition gulong addOnGetChildPosition(bool delegate(Widget, GdkRectangle*, Overlay) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags): The ::get-child-position signal is emitted to determine the position and size of any overlay child widgets. A handler for this signal should fill allocation with the desired position and size for widget, relative to the 'main' child of overlay.
addOverlay void addOverlay(Widget widget): Adds widget to overlay.
getOverlayPassThrough bool getOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget): Convenience function to get the value of the pass-through child property for widget.
getOverlayStruct GtkOverlay* getOverlayStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
reorderOverlay void reorderOverlay(Widget child, int position): Moves child to a new index in the list of overlay children. The list contains overlays in the order that these were added to overlay.
setOverlayPassThrough void setOverlayPassThrough(Widget widget, bool passThrough): Convenience function to set the value of the pass-through child property for widget.

getBinStruct GtkBin* getBinStruct(bool transferOwnership): Get the main Gtk struct
getStruct void* getStruct(): the main Gtk struct as a void*
getType GType getType()
getChild Widget getChild(): Gets the child of the gtk.Bin, or NULL if the bin contains no child widget. The returned widget does not have a reference added, so you do not need to unref it.
