## Description

## Details

### struct GtkWindow

    struct GtkWindow;

### gtk_window_new ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_window_new                  (GtkWindowType type);

Creates a new GtkWindow, which is a toplevel window that can contain other widgets. Nearly always, the type of the window should be GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL. If you're implementing something like a popup menu from scratch (which is a bad idea, just use GtkMenu), you might use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP. GTK_WINDOW_POPUP is not for dialogs, though in some other toolkits dialogs are called "popups". In GTK+, GTK_WINDOW_POPUP means a pop-up menu or pop-up tooltip. On X11, popup windows are not controlled by the window manager.

If you simply want an undecorated window (no window borders), use gtk_window_set_decorated(), don't use GTK_WINDOW_POPUP.

`type` : | type of window
Returns : | a new GtkWindow.

### gtk_window_set_title ()

    void        gtk_window_set_title            (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 const gchar *title);

Sets the title of the GtkWindow. The title of a window will be displayed in its title bar; on the X Window System, the title bar is rendered by the window manager, so exactly how the title appears to users may vary according to a user's exact configuration. The title should help a user distinguish this window from other windows they may have open. A good title might include the application name and current document filename, for example.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`title` : | title of the window

### gtk_window_set_wmclass ()

    void        gtk_window_set_wmclass          (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 const gchar *wmclass_name,
                                                 const gchar *wmclass_class);

Don't use this function. It sets the X Window System "class" and "name" hints for a window. According to the ICCCM, you should always set these to the same value for all windows in an application, and GTK+ sets them to that value by default, so calling this function is sort of pointless. However, you may want to call gtk_window_set_role() on each window in your application, for the benefit of the session manager. Setting the role allows the window manager to restore window positions when loading a saved session.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`wmclass_name` : | window name hint
`wmclass_class` : | window class hint

### gtk_window_set_policy ()

    void        gtk_window_set_policy           (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint allow_shrink,
                                                 gint allow_grow,
                                                 gint auto_shrink);

### Warning

`gtk_window_set_policy` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. Use gtk_window_set_resizable() instead.

Changes how a toplevel window deals with its size request and user resize attempts. There are really only two reasonable ways to call this function:

1. `gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (window), FALSE, TRUE, FALSE)` means that the window is user-resizable.

2. `gtk_window_set_policy (GTK_WINDOW (window), FALSE, FALSE, TRUE)` means that the window's size is program-controlled, and should simply match the current size request of the window's children.

The first policy is the default, that is, by default windows are designed to be resized by users.

The basic ugly truth of this function is that it should be simply: `void gtk_window_set_resizable (GtkWindow* window, gboolean setting);` ...which is why GTK+ 2.0 introduces gtk_window_set_resizable(), which you should use instead of gtk_window_set_policy().

If set to `TRUE`, the `allow_grow` parameter allows the user to expand the window beyond the size request of its child widgets. If `allow_grow` is `TRUE`, be sure to check that your child widgets work properly as the window is resized.

A toplevel window will always change size to ensure its child widgets receive their requested size. This means that if you add child widgets, the toplevel window will expand to contain them. However, normally the toplevel will not shrink to fit the size request of its children if it's too large; the `auto_shrink` parameter causes the window to shrink when child widgets have too much space. `auto_shrink` is normally used with the second of the two window policies mentioned above. That is, set `auto_shrink` to `TRUE` if you want the window to have a fixed, always-optimal size determined by your program.

Note that `auto_shrink` doesn't do anything if `allow_shrink` and `allow_grow` are both set to `FALSE`.

Neither of the two suggested window policies set the `allow_shrink` parameter to `TRUE`. If `allow_shrink` is `TRUE`, the user can shrink the window so that its children do not receive their full size request; this is basically a bad thing, because most widgets will look wrong if this happens. Furthermore GTK+ has a tendency to re-expand the window if size is recalculated for any reason. The upshot is that `allow_shrink` should always be set to `FALSE`.

Sometimes when you think you want to use `allow_shrink`, the real problem is that some specific child widget is requesting too much space, so the user can't shrink the window sufficiently. Perhaps you are calling gtk_widget_set_size_request() on a child widget, and forcing its size request to be too large. Instead of setting the child's usize, consider using gtk_window_set_default_size() so that the child gets a larger allocation than it requests.

`window` : | the window
`allow_shrink` : | whether the user can shrink the window below its size request
`allow_grow` : | whether the user can grow the window larger than its size request
`auto_shrink` : | whether the window automatically snaps back to its size request if it's larger

### gtk_window_set_resizable ()

    void        gtk_window_set_resizable        (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean resizable);

Sets whether the user can resize a window. Windows are user resizable by default.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`resizable` : | `TRUE` if the user can resize this window

### gtk_window_get_resizable ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_resizable        (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_resizable().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if the user can resize the window

### gtk_window_add_accel_group ()

    void        gtk_window_add_accel_group      (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Associate `accel_group` with `window`, such that calling gtk_accel_groups_activate() on `window` will activate accelerators in `accel_group`.

`window` : | window to attach accelerator group to
`accel_group` : | a GtkAccelGroup

### gtk_window_remove_accel_group ()

    void        gtk_window_remove_accel_group   (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Reverses the effects of gtk_window_add_accel_group().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`accel_group` : | a GtkAccelGroup

### gtk_window_position

    #define	gtk_window_position			gtk_window_set_position

### Warning

`gtk_window_position` is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

Deprecated alias for gtk_window_set_position().

### gtk_window_activate_focus ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_activate_focus       (GtkWindow *window);

Activates the current focused widget within the window.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if a widget got activated.

### gtk_window_activate_default ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_activate_default     (GtkWindow *window);

Activates the default widget for the window, unless the current focused widget has been configured to receive the default action (see GTK_RECEIVES_DEFAULT in GtkWidgetFlags), in which case the focused widget is activated.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if a widget got activated.

### gtk_window_set_modal ()

    void        gtk_window_set_modal            (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean modal);

Sets a window modal or non-modal. Modal windows prevent interaction with other windows in the same application. To keep modal dialogs on top of main application windows, use gtk_window_set_transient_for() to make the dialog transient for the parent; most window managers will then disallow lowering the dialog below the parent.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`modal` : | whether the window is modal

### gtk_window_set_default_size ()

    void        gtk_window_set_default_size     (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

Sets the default size of a window. If the window's "natural" size (its size request) is larger than the default, the default will be ignored. More generally, if the default size does not obey the geometry hints for the window (gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() can be used to set these explicitly), the default size will be clamped to the nearest permitted size.

Unlike gtk_widget_set_size_request(), which sets a size request for a widget and thus would keep users from shrinking the window, this function only sets the initial size, just as if the user had resized the window themselves. Users can still shrink the window again as they normally would. Setting a default size of -1 means to use the "natural" default size (the size request of the window).

For more control over a window's initial size and how resizing works, investigate gtk_window_set_geometry_hints().

For some uses, gtk_window_resize() is a more appropriate function. gtk_window_resize() changes the current size of the window, rather than the size to be used on initial display. gtk_window_resize() always affects the window itself, not the geometry widget.

The default size of a window only affects the first time a window is shown; if a window is hidden and re-shown, it will remember the size it had prior to hiding, rather than using the default size.

Windows can't actually be 0x0 in size, they must be at least 1x1, but passing 0 for `width` and `height` is OK, resulting in a 1x1 default size.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`width` : | width in pixels, or -1 to unset the default width
`height` : | height in pixels, or -1 to unset the default height

### gtk_window_set_geometry_hints ()

    void        gtk_window_set_geometry_hints   (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkWidget *geometry_widget,
                                                 GdkGeometry *geometry,
                                                 GdkWindowHints geom_mask);

This function sets up hints about how a window can be resized by the user. You can set a minimum and maximum size; allowed resize increments (e.g. for xterm, you can only resize by the size of a character); aspect ratios; and more. See the GdkGeometry struct.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`geometry_widget` : | widget the geometry hints will be applied to
`geometry` : | struct containing geometry information
`geom_mask` : | mask indicating which struct fields should be paid attention to

### gtk_window_set_gravity ()

    void        gtk_window_set_gravity          (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkGravity gravity);

Window gravity defines the meaning of coordinates passed to gtk_window_move(). See gtk_window_move() and GdkGravity for more details.

The default window gravity is GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST which will typically "do what you mean."

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`gravity` : | window gravity

### gtk_window_get_gravity ()

    GdkGravity  gtk_window_get_gravity          (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_gravity().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | window gravity

### gtk_window_set_position ()

    void        gtk_window_set_position         (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkWindowPosition position);

Sets a position constraint for this window. If the old or new constraint is `GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS`, this will also cause the window to be repositioned to satisfy the new constraint.

`window` : | a GtkWindow.
`position` : | a position constraint.

### gtk_window_set_transient_for ()

    void        gtk_window_set_transient_for    (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkWindow *parent);

Dialog windows should be set transient for the main application window they were spawned from. This allows window managers to e.g. keep the dialog on top of the main window, or center the dialog over the main window. gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons() and other convenience functions in GTK+ will sometimes call gtk_window_set_transient_for() on your behalf.

On Windows, this function will and put the child window on top of the parent, much as the window manager would have done on X.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`parent` : | parent window

### gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent ()

    void        gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent
                                                (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean setting);

If `setting` is `TRUE`, then destroying the transient parent of `window` will also destroy `window` itself. This is useful for dialogs that shouldn't persist beyond the lifetime of the main window they're associated with, for example.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`setting` : | whether to destroy `window` with its transient parent

### gtk_window_set_screen ()

    void        gtk_window_set_screen           (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkScreen *screen);

Sets the GdkScreen where the `window` is displayed; if the window is already mapped, it will be unmapped, and then remapped on the new screen.

`window` : | a GtkWindow.
`screen` : | a GdkScreen.

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_get_screen ()

    GdkScreen*  gtk_window_get_screen           (GtkWindow *window);

Returns the GdkScreen associated with `window`.

`window` : | a GtkWindow.
Returns : | a GdkScreen.

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_list_toplevels ()

    GList*      gtk_window_list_toplevels       (void);

Returns a list of all existing toplevel windows. The widgets in the list are not individually referenced. If you want to iterate through the list and perform actions involving callbacks that might destroy the widgets, you must call `g_list_foreach (result, (GFunc)g_object_ref, NULL)` first, and then unref all the widgets afterwards.

Returns : | list of toplevel widgets

### gtk_window_add_mnemonic ()

    void        gtk_window_add_mnemonic         (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 guint keyval,
                                                 GtkWidget *target);

Adds a mnemonic to this window.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`keyval` : | the mnemonic
`target` : | the widget that gets activated by the mnemonic

### gtk_window_remove_mnemonic ()

    void        gtk_window_remove_mnemonic      (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 guint keyval,
                                                 GtkWidget *target);

Removes a mnemonic from this window.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`keyval` : | the mnemonic
`target` : | the widget that gets activated by the mnemonic

### gtk_window_mnemonic_activate ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_mnemonic_activate    (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 guint keyval,
                                                 GdkModifierType modifier);

Activates the targets associated with the mnemonic.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`keyval` : | the mnemonic
`modifier` : | the modifiers
Returns : | `TRUE` if the activation is done.

### gtk_window_get_focus ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_window_get_focus            (GtkWindow *window);

Retrieves the current focused widget within the window. Note that this is the widget that would have the focus if the toplevel window focused; if the toplevel window is not focused then `GTK_WIDGET_HAS_FOCUS (widget)` will not be `TRUE` for the widget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the currently focused widget, or `NULL` if there is none.

### gtk_window_set_focus ()

    void        gtk_window_set_focus            (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkWidget *focus);

If `focus` is not the current focus widget, and is focusable, sets it as the focus widget for the window. If `focus` is `NULL`, unsets the focus widget for this window. To set the focus to a particular widget in the toplevel, it is usually more convenient to use gtk_widget_grab_focus() instead of this function.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`focus` : | widget to be the new focus widget, or `NULL` to unset any focus widget for the toplevel window.

### gtk_window_set_default ()

    void        gtk_window_set_default          (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GtkWidget *default_widget);

The default widget is the widget that's activated when the user presses Enter in a dialog (for example). This function sets or unsets the default widget for a GtkWindow about. When setting (rather than unsetting) the default widget it's generally easier to call gtk_widget_grab_focus() on the widget. Before making a widget the default widget, you must set the GTK_CAN_DEFAULT flag on the widget you'd like to make the default using GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`default_widget` : | widget to be the default, or `NULL` to unset the default widget for the toplevel.

### gtk_window_present ()

    void        gtk_window_present              (GtkWindow *window);

Presents a window to the user. This may mean raising the window in the stacking order, deiconifying it, moving it to the current desktop, and/or giving it the keyboard focus, possibly dependent on the user's platform, window manager, and preferences.

If `window` is hidden, this function calls gtk_widget_show() as well.

This function should be used when the user tries to open a window that's already open. Say for example the preferences dialog is currently open, and the user chooses Preferences from the menu a second time; use gtk_window_present() to move the already-open dialog where the user can see it.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_iconify ()

    void        gtk_window_iconify              (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to iconify (i.e. minimize) the specified `window`. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely iconified afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could deiconify it again, or there may not be a window manager in which case iconification isn't possible, etc. But normally the window will end up iconified. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

It's permitted to call this function before showing a window, in which case the window will be iconified before it ever appears onscreen.

You can track iconification via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_deiconify ()

    void        gtk_window_deiconify            (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to deiconify (i.e. unminimize) the specified `window`. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely deiconified afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could iconify it again before your code which assumes deiconification gets to run.

You can track iconification via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_stick ()

    void        gtk_window_stick                (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to stick `window`, which means that it will appear on all user desktops. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely stuck afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could unstick it again, and some window managers do not support sticking windows. But normally the window will end up stuck. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

It's permitted to call this function before showing a window.

You can track stickiness via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_unstick ()

    void        gtk_window_unstick              (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to unstick `window`, which means that it will appear on only one of the user's desktops. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely unstuck afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could stick it again. But normally the window will end up stuck. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

You can track stickiness via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_maximize ()

    void        gtk_window_maximize             (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to maximize `window`, so that it becomes full-screen. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely maximized afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could unmaximize it again, and not all window managers support maximization. But normally the window will end up maximized. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

It's permitted to call this function before showing a window, in which case the window will be maximized when it appears onscreen initially.

You can track maximization via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_unmaximize ()

    void        gtk_window_unmaximize           (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to unmaximize `window`. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely unmaximized afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could maximize it again, and not all window managers honor requests to unmaximize. But normally the window will end up unmaximized. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

You can track maximization via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_fullscreen ()

    void        gtk_window_fullscreen           (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to place `window` in the fullscreen state. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely full screen afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could unfullscreen it again, and not all window managers honor requests to fullscreen windows. But normally the window will end up fullscreen. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

You can track the fullscreen state via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_unfullscreen ()

    void        gtk_window_unfullscreen         (GtkWindow *window);

Asks to toggle off the fullscreen state for `window`. Note that you shouldn't assume the window is definitely not full screen afterward, because other entities (e.g. the user or window manager) could fullscreen it again, and not all window managers honor requests to unfullscreen windows. But normally the window will end up restored to its normal state. Just don't write code that crashes if not.

You can track the fullscreen state via the "window_state_event" signal on GtkWidget.

### gtk_window_begin_resize_drag ()

    void        gtk_window_begin_resize_drag    (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkWindowEdge edge,
                                                 gint button,
                                                 gint root_x,
                                                 gint root_y,
                                                 guint32 timestamp);

Starts resizing a window. This function is used if an application has window resizing controls. When GDK can support it, the resize will be done using the standard mechanism for the window manager or windowing system. Otherwise, GDK will try to emulate window resizing, potentially not all that well, depending on the windowing system.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`edge` : | position of the resize control
`button` : | mouse button that initiated the drag
`root_x` : | X position where the user clicked to initiate the drag, in root window coordinates
`root_y` : | Y position where the user clicked to initiate the drag
`timestamp` : | timestamp from the click event that initiated the drag

### gtk_window_begin_move_drag ()

    void        gtk_window_begin_move_drag      (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint button,
                                                 gint root_x,
                                                 gint root_y,
                                                 guint32 timestamp);

Starts moving a window. This function is used if an application has window movement grips. When GDK can support it, the window movement will be done using the standard mechanism for the window manager or windowing system. Otherwise, GDK will try to emulate window movement, potentially not all that well, depending on the windowing system.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`button` : | mouse button that initiated the drag
`root_x` : | X position where the user clicked to initiate the drag, in root window coordinates
`root_y` : | Y position where the user clicked to initiate the drag
`timestamp` : | timestamp from the click event that initiated the drag

### gtk_window_set_decorated ()

    void        gtk_window_set_decorated        (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean setting);

By default, windows are decorated with a title bar, resize controls, etc. Some window managers allow GTK+ to disable these decorations, creating a borderless window. If you set the decorated property to `FALSE` using this function, GTK+ will do its best to convince the window manager not to decorate the window. Depending on the system, this function may not have any effect when called on a window that is already visible, so you should call it before calling gtk_window_show().

On Windows, this function always works, since there's no window manager policy involved.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`setting` : | `TRUE` to decorate the window

### gtk_window_set_frame_dimensions ()

    void        gtk_window_set_frame_dimensions (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint left,
                                                 gint top,
                                                 gint right,
                                                 gint bottom);

(Note: this is a special-purpose function intended for the framebuffer port; see gtk_window_set_has_frame(). It will have no effect on the window border drawn by the window manager, which is the normal case when using the X Window system.)

For windows with frames (see gtk_window_set_has_frame()) this function can be used to change the size of the frame border.

`window` : | a GtkWindow that has a frame
`left` : | The width of the left border
`top` : | The height of the top border
`right` : | The width of the right border
`bottom` : | The height of the bottom border

### gtk_window_set_has_frame ()

    void        gtk_window_set_has_frame        (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean setting);

(Note: this is a special-purpose function for the framebuffer port, that causes GTK+ to draw its own window border. For most applications, you want gtk_window_set_decorated() instead, which tells the window manager whether to draw the window border.)

If this function is called on a window with setting of `TRUE`, before it is realized or showed, it will have a "frame" window around `window`->window, accessible in `window`->frame. Using the signal frame_event you can recieve all events targeted at the frame.

This function is used by the linux-fb port to implement managed windows, but it could concievably be used by X-programs that want to do their own window decorations.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`setting` : | a boolean

### gtk_window_set_mnemonic_modifier ()

    void        gtk_window_set_mnemonic_modifier
                                                (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkModifierType modifier);

Sets the mnemonic modifier for this window.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`modifier` : | the modifier mask used to activate mnemonics on this window.

### gtk_window_set_role ()

    void        gtk_window_set_role             (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 const gchar *role);

This function is only useful on X11, not with other GTK+ targets.

In combination with the window title, the window role allows a window manager to identify "the same" window when an application is restarted. So for example you might set the "toolbox" role on your app's toolbox window, so that when the user restarts their session, the window manager can put the toolbox back in the same place.

If a window already has a unique title, you don't need to set the role, since the WM can use the title to identify the window when restoring the session.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`role` : | unique identifier for the window to be used when restoring a session

### gtk_window_set_type_hint ()

    void        gtk_window_set_type_hint        (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkWindowTypeHint hint);

By setting the type hint for the window, you allow the window manager to decorate and handle the window in a way which is suitable to the function of the window in your application.

This function should be called before the window becomes visible.

gtk_dialog_new_with_buttons() and other convenience functions in GTK+ will sometimes call gtk_window_set_type_hint() on your behalf.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`hint` : | the window type

### gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint ()

    void        gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint
                                                (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean setting);

Windows may set a hint asking the desktop environment not to display the window in the task bar. This function toggles this hint.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`setting` : | `TRUE` to keep this window from appearing in the task bar

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint ()

    void        gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint  (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gboolean setting);

Windows may set a hint asking the desktop environment not to display the window in the pager. This function toggles this hint. (A "pager" is any desktop navigation tool such as a workspace switcher that displays a thumbnail representation of the windows on the screen.)

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`setting` : | `TRUE` to keep this window from appearing in the pager

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_get_decorated ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_decorated        (GtkWindow *window);

Returns whether the window has been set to have decorations such as a title bar via gtk_window_set_decorated().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if the window has been set to have decorations

### gtk_window_get_default_icon_list ()

    GList*      gtk_window_get_default_icon_list
                                                (void);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_default_icon_list(). The list is a copy and should be freed with g_list_free(), but the pixbufs in the list have not had their reference count incremented.

Returns : | copy of default icon list

### gtk_window_get_default_size ()

    void        gtk_window_get_default_size     (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint *width,
                                                 gint *height);

Gets the default size of the window. A value of -1 for the width or height indicates that a default size has not been explicitly set for that dimension, so the "natural" size of the window will be used.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`width` : | location to store the default width, or `NULL`
`height` : | location to store the default height, or `NULL`

### gtk_window_get_destroy_with_parent ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_destroy_with_parent
                                                (GtkWindow *window);

Returns whether the window will be destroyed with its transient parent. See gtk_window_set_destroy_with_parent().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if the window will be destroyed with its transient parent.

### gtk_window_get_frame_dimensions ()

    void        gtk_window_get_frame_dimensions (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint *left,
                                                 gint *top,
                                                 gint *right,
                                                 gint *bottom);

(Note: this is a special-purpose function intended for the framebuffer port; see gtk_window_set_has_frame(). It will not return the size of the window border drawn by the window manager, which is the normal case when using a windowing system. See gdk_window_get_frame_extents() to get the standard window border extents.)

Retrieves the dimensions of the frame window for this toplevel. See gtk_window_set_has_frame(), gtk_window_set_frame_dimensions().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`left` : | location to store the width of the frame at the left, or `NULL`
`top` : | location to store the height of the frame at the top, or `NULL`
`right` : | location to store the width of the frame at the returns, or `NULL`
`bottom` : | location to store the height of the frame at the bottom, or `NULL`

### gtk_window_get_has_frame ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_has_frame        (GtkWindow *window);

Accessor for whether the window has a frame window exterior to `window`->window. Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_has_frame().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if a frame has been added to the window via gtk_window_set_has_frame().

### gtk_window_get_icon ()

    GdkPixbuf*  gtk_window_get_icon             (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_icon() (or if you've called gtk_window_set_icon_list(), gets the first icon in the icon list).

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | icon for window

### gtk_window_get_icon_list ()

    GList*      gtk_window_get_icon_list        (GtkWindow *window);

Retrieves the list of icons set by gtk_window_set_icon_list(). The list is copied, but the reference count on each member won't be incremented.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | copy of window's icon list

### gtk_window_get_mnemonic_modifier ()

    GdkModifierType gtk_window_get_mnemonic_modifier
                                                (GtkWindow *window);

Returns the mnemonic modifier for this window. See gtk_window_set_mnemonic_modifier().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the modifier mask used to activate mnemonics on this window.

### gtk_window_get_modal ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_modal            (GtkWindow *window);

Returns whether the window is modal. See gtk_window_set_modal().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if the window is set to be modal and establishes a grab when shown

### gtk_window_get_position ()

    void        gtk_window_get_position         (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint *root_x,
                                                 gint *root_y);

This function returns the position you need to pass to gtk_window_move() to keep `window` in its current position. This means that the meaning of the returned value varies with window gravity. See gtk_window_move() for more details.

If you haven't changed the window gravity, its gravity will be GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST. This means that gtk_window_get_position() gets the position of the top-left corner of the window manager frame for the window. gtk_window_move() sets the position of this same top-left corner.

gtk_window_get_position() is not 100% reliable because the X Window System does not specify a way to obtain the geometry of the decorations placed on a window by the window manager. Thus GTK+ is using a "best guess" that works with most window managers.

Moreover, nearly all window managers are historically broken with respect to their handling of window gravity. So moving a window to its current position as returned by gtk_window_get_position() tends to result in moving the window slightly. Window managers are slowly getting better over time.

If a window has gravity GDK_GRAVITY_STATIC the window manager frame is not relevant, and thus gtk_window_get_position() will always produce accurate results. However you can't use static gravity to do things like place a window in a corner of the screen, because static gravity ignores the window manager decorations.

If you are saving and restoring your application's window positions, you should know that it's impossible for applications to do this without getting it somewhat wrong because applications do not have sufficient knowledge of window manager state. The Correct Mechanism is to support the session management protocol (see the "GnomeClient" object in the GNOME libraries for example) and allow the window manager to save your window sizes and positions.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`root_x` : | return location for X coordinate of gravity-determined reference p\oint
`root_y` : | return location for Y coordinate of gravity-determined reference p\oint

### gtk_window_get_role ()

    G_CONST_RETURN gchar* gtk_window_get_role   (GtkWindow *window);

Returns the role of the window. See gtk_window_set_role() for further explanation.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the role of the window if set, or `NULL`. The returned is owned by the widget and must not be modified or freed.

### gtk_window_get_size ()

    void        gtk_window_get_size             (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint *width,
                                                 gint *height);

Obtains the current size of `window`. If `window` is not onscreen, it returns the size GTK+ will suggest to the window manager for the initial window size (but this is not reliably the same as the size the window manager will actually select). The size obtained by gtk_window_get_size() is the last size received in a GdkEventConfigure, that is, GTK+ uses its locally-stored size, rather than querying the X server for the size. As a result, if you call gtk_window_resize() then immediately call gtk_window_get_size(), the size won't have taken effect yet. After the window manager processes the resize request, GTK+ receives notification that the size has changed via a configure event, and the size of the window gets updated.

Note 1: Nearly any use of this function creates a race condition, because the size of the window may change between the time that you get the size and the time that you perform some action assuming that size is the current size. To avoid race conditions, connect to "configure_event" on the window and adjust your size-dependent state to match the size delivered in the GdkEventConfigure.

Note 2: The returned size does not include the size of the window manager decorations (aka the window frame or border). Those are not drawn by GTK+ and GTK+ has no reliable method of determining their size.

Note 3: If you are getting a window size in order to position the window onscreen, there may be a better way. The preferred way is to simply set the window's semantic type with gtk_window_set_type_hint(), which allows the window manager to e.g. center dialogs. Also, if you set the transient parent of dialogs with gtk_window_set_transient_for() window managers will often center the dialog over its parent window. It's much preferred to let the window manager handle these things rather than doing it yourself, because all apps will behave consistently and according to user prefs if the window manager handles it. Also, the window manager can take the size of the window decorations/border into account, while your application cannot.

In any case, if you insist on application-specified window positioning, there's still a better way than doing it yourself - gtk_window_set_position() will frequently handle the details for you.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`width` : | return location for width, or `NULL`
`height` : | return location for height, or `NULL`

### gtk_window_get_title ()

    G_CONST_RETURN gchar* gtk_window_get_title  (GtkWindow *window);

Retrieves the title of the window. See gtk_window_set_title().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the title of the window, or `NULL` if none has been set explicitely. The returned string is owned by the widget and must not be modified or freed.

### gtk_window_get_transient_for ()

    GtkWindow*  gtk_window_get_transient_for    (GtkWindow *window);

Fetches the transient parent for this window. See gtk_window_set_transient_for().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the transient parent for this window, or `NULL` if no transient parent has been set.

### gtk_window_get_type_hint ()

    GdkWindowTypeHint gtk_window_get_type_hint  (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the type hint for this window. See gtk_window_set_type_hint().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | the type hint for `window`.

### gtk_window_get_skip_taskbar_hint ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_skip_taskbar_hint
                                                (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_skip_taskbar_hint()

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if window shouldn't be in taskbar

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_get_skip_pager_hint ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_get_skip_pager_hint  (GtkWindow *window);

Gets the value set by gtk_window_set_skip_pager_hint().

`window` : | a GtkWindow
Returns : | `TRUE` if window shouldn't be in pager

Since 2.2

### gtk_window_move ()

    void        gtk_window_move                 (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y);

Asks the window manager to move `window` to the given position. Window managers are free to ignore this; most window managers ignore requests for initial window positions (instead using a user-defined placement algorithm) and honor requests after the window has already been shown.

Note: the position is the position of the gravity-determined reference point for the window. The gravity determines two things: first, the location of the reference point in root window coordinates; and second, which point on the window is positioned at the reference point.

By default the gravity is GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST, so the reference point is simply the `x`, `y` supplied to gtk_window_move(). The top-left corner of the window decorations (aka window frame or border) will be placed at `x`, `y`. Therefore, to position a window at the top left of the screen, you want to use the default gravity (which is GDK_GRAVITY_NORTH_WEST) and move the window to 0,0.

To position a window at the bottom right corner of the screen, you would set GDK_GRAVITY_SOUTH_EAST, which means that the reference point is at `x` + the window width and `y` + the window height, and the bottom-right corner of the window border will be placed at that reference point. So, to place a window in the bottom right corner you would first set gravity to south east, then write: `gtk_window_move (window, gdk_screen_width() - window_width, gdk_screen_height() - window_height)`.

The extended window manager hints specification at http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec.html has a nice table of gravities in the "implementation notes" section.

The gtk_window_get_position() documentation may also be relevant.

### gtk_window_parse_geometry ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_parse_geometry       (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 const gchar *geometry);

Parses a standard X Window System geometry string - see the manual page for X (type 'man X') for details on this. gtk_window_parse_geometry() does work on all GTK+ ports including Win32 but is primarily intended for an X environment.

If either a size or a position can be extracted from the geometry string, gtk_window_parse_geometry() returns `TRUE` and calls gtk_window_set_default_size() and/or gtk_window_move() to resize/move the window.

If gtk_window_parse_geometry() returns `TRUE`, it will also set the GDK_HINT_USER_POS and/or GDK_HINT_USER_SIZE hints indicating to the window manager that the size/position of the window was user-specified. This causes most window managers to honor the geometry.

Note that for gtk_window_parse_geometry() to work as expected, it has to be called when the window has its "final" size, i.e. after calling gtk_widget_show_all() on the contents and gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() on the window.

    int
    main (int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      GtkWidget *window, vbox;
      GdkGeometry size_hints;

      gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

      window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
      vbox = gtk_vbox_new (FALSE, 0);

      gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), vbox);
      fill_with_content (vbox);

### gtk_window_reshow_with_initial_size ()

    void        gtk_window_reshow_with_initial_size
                                                (GtkWindow *window);

Hides `window`, then reshows it, resetting the default size and position of the window. Used by GUI builders only.

`window` : | a GtkWindow

### gtk_window_resize ()

    void        gtk_window_resize               (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

Resizes the window as if the user had done so, obeying geometry constraints. The default geometry constraint is that windows may not be smaller than their size request; to override this constraint, call gtk_widget_set_size_request() to set the window's request to a smaller value.

If gtk_window_resize() is called before showing a window for the first time, it overrides any default size set with gtk_window_set_default_size().

Windows may not be resized smaller than 1 by 1 pixels.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`width` : | width in pixels to resize the window to
`height` : | height in pixels to resize the window to

### gtk_window_set_default_icon_list ()

    void        gtk_window_set_default_icon_list
                                                (GList *list);

Sets an icon list to be used as fallback for windows that haven't had gtk_window_set_icon_list() called on them to set up a window-specific icon list. This function allows you to set up the icon for all windows in your app at once.

See gtk_window_set_icon_list() for more details.

`list` : | a list of GdkPixbuf

### gtk_window_set_default_icon_from_file ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_set_default_icon_from_file
                                                (const gchar *filename,
                                                 GError **err);

Sets an icon to be used as fallback for windows that haven't had gtk_window_set_icon_list() called on them from a file on disk. Warns on failure if `err` is `NULL`.

`filename` : | location of icon file
`err` : | location to store error, or `NULL`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if setting the icon succeeded.

### gtk_window_set_icon ()

    void        gtk_window_set_icon             (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GdkPixbuf *icon);

Sets up the icon representing a GtkWindow. This icon is used when the window is minimized (also known as iconified). Some window managers or desktop environments may also place it in the window frame, or display it in other contexts.

The icon should be provided in whatever size it was naturally drawn; that is, don't scale the image before passing it to GTK+. Scaling is postponed until the last minute, when the desired final size is known, to allow best quality.

If you have your icon hand-drawn in multiple sizes, use gtk_window_set_icon_list(). Then the best size will be used.

This function is equivalent to calling gtk_window_set_icon_list() with a 1-element list.

See also gtk_window_set_default_icon_list() to set the icon for all windows in your application in one go.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`icon` : | icon image, or `NULL`

### gtk_window_set_icon_list ()

    void        gtk_window_set_icon_list        (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 GList *list);

Sets up the icon representing a GtkWindow. The icon is used when the window is minimized (also known as iconified). Some window managers or desktop environments may also place it in the window frame, or display it in other contexts.

gtk_window_set_icon_list() allows you to pass in the same icon in several hand-drawn sizes. The list should contain the natural sizes your icon is available in; that is, don't scale the image before passing it to GTK+. Scaling is postponed until the last minute, when the desired final size is known, to allow best quality.

By passing several sizes, you may improve the final image quality of the icon, by reducing or eliminating automatic image scaling.

Recommended sizes to provide: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 at minimum, and larger images (64x64, 128x128) if you have them.

See also gtk_window_set_default_icon_list() to set the icon for all windows in your application in one go.

Note that transient windows (those who have been set transient for another window using gtk_window_set_transient_for()) will inherit their icon from their transient parent. So there's no need to explicitly set the icon on transient windows.

### gtk_window_set_icon_from_file ()

    gboolean    gtk_window_set_icon_from_file   (GtkWindow *window,
                                                 const gchar *filename,
                                                 GError **err);

Sets the icon for `window`. Warns on failure if `err` is `NULL`.

This function is equivalent to calling gtk_window_set_icon() with a pixbuf created by loading the image from `filename`.

`window` : | a GtkWindow
`filename` : | location of icon file
`err` : | location to store error, or `NULL`.
Returns : | `TRUE` if setting the icon succeeded.

### gtk_window_set_auto_startup_notification ()

    void        gtk_window_set_auto_startup_notification
                                                (gboolean setting);

By default, after showing the first GtkWindow for each GdkScreen, GTK+ calls gdk_screen_notify_startup_complete(). Call this function to disable the automatic startup notification. You might do this if your first window is a splash screen, and you want to delay notification until after your real main window has been shown, for example.

In that example, you would disable startup notification temporarily, show your splash screen, then re-enable it so that showing the main window would automatically result in notification.

`setting` : | `TRUE` to automatically do startup notification
