      GTK_DOUBLE_BUFFERED  = 1 << 21
    } GtkWidgetFlags;

Tells about certain properties of the widget.

`GTK_TOPLEVEL` | widgets without a real parent, as there are GtkWindows and GtkMenus have this flag set throughout their lifetime. Toplevel widgets always contain their own GdkWindow.
`GTK_NO_WINDOW` | Indicative for a widget that does not provide its own GdkWindow. Visible action (e.g. drawing) is performed on the parent's GdkWindow.
`GTK_REALIZED` | Set by gtk_widget_realize(), unset by gtk_widget_unrealize(). A realized widget has an associated GdkWindow.
`GTK_MAPPED` | Set by gtk_widget_map(), unset by gtk_widget_unmap(). Only realized widgets can be mapped. It means that gdk_window_show() has been called on the widgets window(s).
`GTK_VISIBLE` | Set by gtk_widget_show(), unset by gtk_widget_hide(). Implies that a widget will be mapped as soon as its parent is mapped.
`GTK_SENSITIVE` | Set and unset by gtk_widget_set_sensitive(). The sensitivity of a widget determines whether it will receive certain events (e.g. button or key presses). One premise for the widgets sensitivity is to have this flag set.
`GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE` | Set and unset by gtk_widget_set_sensitive() operations on the parents of the widget. This is the second premise for the widgets sensitivity. Once it has `GTK_SENSITIVE` and `GTK_PARENT_SENSITIVE` set, its state is effectively sensitive. This is expressed (and can be examined) by the GTK_WIDGET_IS_SENSITIVE macro.
`GTK_CAN_FOCUS` | Determines whether a widget is able to handle focus grabs.
`GTK_HAS_FOCUS` | Set by gtk_widget_grab_focus() for widgets that also have `GTK_CAN_FOCUS` set. The flag will be unset once another widget grabs the focus.
`GTK_CAN_DEFAULT` | The widget is allowed to receive the default action via gtk_widget_grab_default().
`GTK_HAS_DEFAULT` | The widget currently is receiving the default action.
`GTK_HAS_GRAB` | Set by gtk_grab_add(), unset by gtk_grab_remove(). It means that the widget is in the grab_widgets stack, and will be the preferred one for receiving events other than ones of cosmetic value.
`GTK_RC_STYLE` | Indicates that the widgets style has been looked up through the rc mechanism. It does not imply that the widget actually had a style defined through the rc mechanism.
`GTK_COMPOSITE_CHILD` | Indicates that the widget is a composite child of its parent; see gtk_widget_push_composite_child(), gtk_widget_pop_composite_child().
`GTK_NO_REPARENT` | Unused since before GTK+ 1.2, will be removed in a future version.
`GTK_APP_PAINTABLE` | Set and unset by gtk_widget_set_app_paintable(). Must be set on widgets whose window the application directly draws on, in order to keep GTK+ from overwriting the drawn stuff.
`GTK_RECEIVES_DEFAULT` | The widget when focused will receive the default action and have `GTK_HAS_DEFAULT` set even if there is a different widget set as default.
`GTK_DOUBLE_BUFFERED` | Set and unset by gtk_widget_set_double_buffered(). Indicates that exposes done on the widget should be double-buffered.

### GTK_WIDGET_TYPE()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_TYPE(wid)		  (GTK_OBJECT_TYPE (wid))

Gets the type of a widget.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_STATE()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_STATE(wid)		  (GTK_WIDGET (wid)->state)

Returns the current state of the widget, as a GtkStateType.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_SAVED_STATE()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_SAVED_STATE(wid)	  (GTK_WIDGET (wid)->saved_state)

Returns the saved state of the widget, as a GtkStateType.

The saved state will be restored when a widget gets sensitive again, after it has been made insensitive with gtk_widget_set_state() or gtk_widget_set_sensitive().

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS(wid)		  (GTK_OBJECT_FLAGS (wid))

Returns the widget flags from `wid`.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_TOPLEVEL()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_TOPLEVEL(wid)	  ((GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS (wid) & GTK_TOPLEVEL) != 0)

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget is a toplevel widget.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_NO_WINDOW()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_NO_WINDOW(wid)	  ((GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS (wid) & GTK_NO_WINDOW) != 0)

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget doesn't have an own GdkWindow.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_REALIZED(wid)	  ((GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS (wid) & GTK_REALIZED) != 0)

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget is realized.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_MAPPED()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_MAPPED(wid)		  ((GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS (wid) & GTK_MAPPED) != 0)

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget is mapped.

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget currently is receiving the default action.

`wid` : | a GtkWidget.

### GTK_WIDGET_HAS_GRAB()

    #define GTK_WIDGET_HAS_GRAB(wid)	  ((GTK_WIDGET_FLAGS (wid) & GTK_HAS_GRAB) != 0)

Evaluates to `TRUE` if the widget is in the grab_widgets stack, and will be the preferred one for receiving events other than ones of cosmetic value.

    typedef enum
    {
      GTK_WIDGET_HELP_TOOLTIP,
      GTK_WIDGET_HELP_WHATS_THIS
    } GtkWidgetHelpType;

### gtk_widget_new ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_widget_new                  (GtkType type,
                                                 const gchar *first_property_name,
                                                 ...);

This is a convenience function for creating a widget and setting its properties in one go. For example you might write: `gtk_widget_new (GTK_TYPE_LABEL, "label", "Hello World", "xalign", 0.0, NULL)` to create a left-aligned label. Equivalent to gtk_object_new(), but returns a widget so you don't have to cast the object yourself.

`type` : | type ID of the widget to create
`first_property_name` : | name of first property to set
`...` : | value of first property, followed by more properties, `NULL`-terminated
Returns : | a new GtkWidget of type `widget_type`

### gtk_widget_ref ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_widget_ref                  (GtkWidget *widget);

Adds a reference to a widget. This function is exactly the same as calling g_object_ref(), and exists mostly for historical reasons. It can still be convenient to avoid casting a widget to a GObject, it saves a small amount of typing.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the widget that was referenced

### gtk_widget_unref ()

    void        gtk_widget_unref                (GtkWidget *widget);

Inverse of gtk_widget_ref(). Equivalent to g_object_unref().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_destroy ()

    void        gtk_widget_destroy              (GtkWidget *widget);

Destroys a widget. Equivalent to gtk_object_destroy(), except that you don't have to cast the widget to GtkObject. When a widget is destroyed, it will break any references it holds to other objects. If the widget is inside a container, the widget will be removed from the container. If the widget is a toplevel (derived from GtkWindow), it will be removed from the list of toplevels, and the reference GTK+ holds to it will be removed. Removing a widget from its container or the list of toplevels results in the widget being finalized, unless you've added additional references to the widget with gtk_object_ref().

In most cases, only toplevel widgets (windows) require explicit destruction, because when you destroy a toplevel its children will be destroyed as well.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_destroyed ()

    void        gtk_widget_destroyed            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkWidget **widget_pointer);

This function sets *`widget_pointer` to `NULL` if `widget_pointer` != `NULL`. It's intended to be used as a callback connected to the "destroy" signal of a widget. You connect gtk_widget_destroyed() as a signal handler, and pass the address of your widget variable as user data. Then when the widget is destroyed, the variable will be set to `NULL`. Useful for example to avoid multiple copies of the same dialog.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`widget_pointer` : | address of a variable that contains `widget`

### gtk_widget_set ()

    void        gtk_widget_set                  (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *first_property_name,
                                                 ...);

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

Like gtk_object_set() - there's no reason to use this instead of gtk_object_set().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`first_property_name` : | name of first property to set
`...` : | value of first property, followed by more properties, `NULL`-terminated

### gtk_widget_unparent ()

    void        gtk_widget_unparent             (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Should be called by implementations of the remove method on GtkContainer, to dissociate a child from the container.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show ()

    void        gtk_widget_show                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Flags a widget to be displayed. Any widget that isn't shown will not appear on the screen. If you want to show all the widgets in a container, it's easier to call gtk_widget_show_all() on the container, instead of individually showing the widgets.

Remember that you have to show the containers containing a widget, in addition to the widget itself, before it will appear onscreen.

When a toplevel container is shown, it is immediately realized and mapped; other shown widgets are realized and mapped when their toplevel container is realized and mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show_now ()

    void        gtk_widget_show_now             (GtkWidget *widget);

Shows a widget. If the widget is an unmapped toplevel widget (i.e. a GtkWindow that has not yet been shown), enter the main loop and wait for the window to actually be mapped. Be careful; because the main loop is running, anything can happen during this function.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_hide ()

    void        gtk_widget_hide                 (GtkWidget *widget);

Reverses the effects of gtk_widget_show(), causing the widget to be hidden (invisible to the user).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_show_all ()

    void        gtk_widget_show_all             (GtkWidget *widget);

Recursively shows a widget, and any child widgets (if the widget is a container).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_hide_all ()

    void        gtk_widget_hide_all             (GtkWidget *widget);

Recursively hides a widget and any child widgets.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_map ()

    void        gtk_widget_map                  (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be mapped if it isn't already.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_unmap ()

    void        gtk_widget_unmap                (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unmapped if it's currently mapped.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_realize ()

    void        gtk_widget_realize              (GtkWidget *widget);

Creates the GDK (windowing system) resources associated with a widget. For example, `widget`->window will be created when a widget is realized. Normally realization happens implicitly; if you show a widget and all its parent containers, then the widget will be realized and mapped automatically.

Realizing a widget requires all the widget's parent widgets to be realized; calling gtk_widget_realize() realizes the widget's parents in addition to `widget` itself. If a widget is not yet inside a toplevel window when you realize it, bad things will happen.

This function is primarily used in widget implementations, and isn't very useful otherwise. Many times when you think you might need it, a better approach is to connect to a signal that will be called after the widget is realized automatically, such as "expose_event". Or simply gtk_signal_connect_after() to the "realize" signal.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_unrealize ()

    void        gtk_widget_unrealize            (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only useful in widget implementations. Causes a widget to be unrealized (frees all GDK resources associated with the widget, such as `widget`->window).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_queue_draw ()

    void        gtk_widget_queue_draw           (GtkWidget *widget);

Equivalent to calling gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() for the entire area of a widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_queue_resize ()

    void        gtk_widget_queue_resize         (GtkWidget *widget);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Flags a widget to have its size renegotiated; should be called when a widget for some reason has a new size request. For example, when you change the text in a GtkLabel, GtkLabel queues a resize to ensure there's enough space for the new text.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_draw ()

    void        gtk_widget_draw                 (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkRectangle *area);

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

DEPRECATED. In GTK+ 1.2, this function would immediately render the region `area` of a widget, by invoking the virtual draw method of a widget. In GTK+ 2.0, the draw method is gone, and instead gtk_widget_draw() simply invalidates the specified region of the widget, then updates the invalid region of the widget immediately. Usually you don't want to update the region immediately for performance reasons, so in general gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() is a better choice if you want to draw a region of a widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`area` : | area to draw

### gtk_widget_size_request ()

    void        gtk_widget_size_request         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkRequisition *requisition);

This function is typically used when implementing a GtkContainer subclass. Obtains the preferred size of a widget. The container uses this information to arrange its child widgets and decide what size allocations to give them with gtk_widget_size_allocate().

You can also call this function from an application, with some caveats. Most notably, getting a size request requires the widget to be associated with a screen, because font information may be needed. Multihead-aware applications should keep this in mind.

Also remember that the size request is not necessarily the size a widget will actually be allocated.

See also gtk_widget_get_child_requisition().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`requisition` : | a GtkRequisition to be filled in

### gtk_widget_get_child_requisition ()

    void        gtk_widget_get_child_requisition
                                                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkRequisition *requisition);

This function is only for use in widget implementations. Obtains `widget`->requisition, unless someone has forced a particular geometry on the widget (e.g. with gtk_widget_set_usize()), in which case it returns that geometry instead of the widget's requisition.

This function differs from gtk_widget_size_request() in that it retrieves the last size request value from `widget`->requisition, while gtk_widget_size_request() actually calls the "size_request" method on `widget` to compute the size request and fill in `widget`->requisition, and only then returns `widget`->requisition.

Because this function does not call the "size_request" method, it can only be used when you know that `widget`->requisition is up-to-date, that is, gtk_widget_size_request() has been called since the last time a resize was queued. In general, only container implementations have this information; applications should use gtk_widget_size_request().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`requisition` : | a GtkRequisition to be filled in

### gtk_widget_size_allocate ()

    void        gtk_widget_size_allocate        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkAllocation *allocation);

This function is only used by GtkContainer subclasses, to assign a size and position to their child widgets.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`allocation` : | position and size to be allocated to `widget`

### gtk_widget_add_accelerator ()

    void        gtk_widget_add_accelerator      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *accel_signal,
                                                 GtkAccelGroup *accel_group,
                                                 guint accel_key,
                                                 GdkModifierType accel_mods,
                                                 GtkAccelFlags accel_flags);

Installs an accelerator for this `widget` in `accel_group` that causes `accel_signal` to be emitted if the accelerator is activated. The `accel_group` needs to be added to the widget's toplevel via gtk_window_add_accel_group(), and the signal must be of type `G_RUN_ACTION`. Accelerators added through this function are not user changeable during runtime. If you want to support accelerators that can be changed by the user, use gtk_accel_map_add_entry() and gtk_widget_set_accel_path() or gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() instead.

`widget` : | widget to install an accelerator on
`accel_signal` : | widget signal to emit on accelerator activation
`accel_group` : | accel group for this widget, added to its toplevel
`accel_key` : | GDK keyval of the accelerator
`accel_mods` : | modifier key combination of the accelerator
`accel_flags` : | flag accelerators, e.g. `GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE`

### gtk_widget_remove_accelerator ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_remove_accelerator   (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkAccelGroup *accel_group,
                                                 guint accel_key,
                                                 GdkModifierType accel_mods);

Removes an accelerator from `widget`, previously installed with gtk_widget_add_accelerator().

`widget` : | widget to install an accelerator on
`accel_group` : | accel group for this widget
`accel_key` : | GDK keyval of the accelerator
`accel_mods` : | modifier key combination of the accelerator
Returns : | whether an accelerator was installed and could be removed

### gtk_widget_set_accel_path ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_accel_path       (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *accel_path,
                                                 GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);

Given an accelerator group, `accel_group`, and an accelerator path, `accel_path`, sets up an accelerator in `accel_group` so whenever the key binding that is defined for `accel_path` is pressed, `widget` will be activated. This removes any accelerators (for any accelerator group) installed by previous calls to gtk_widget_set_accel_path(). Associating accelerators with paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications to be saved for future use. (See gtk_accel_map_save().)

This function is a low level function that would most likely be used by a menu creation system like GtkItemFactory. If you use GtkItemFactory, setting up accelerator paths will be done automatically.

Even when you you aren't using GtkItemFactory, if you only want to set up accelerators on menu items gtk_menu_item_set_accel_path() provides a somewhat more convenient interface.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`accel_path` : | path used to look up the the accelerator
`accel_group` : | a GtkAccelGroup.

### gtk_widget_list_accel_closures ()

    GList*      gtk_widget_list_accel_closures  (GtkWidget *widget);

Lists the closures used by `widget` for accelerator group connections with gtk_accel_group_connect_by_path() or gtk_accel_group_connect(). The closures can be used to monitor accelerator changes on `widget`, by connecting to the ::accel_changed signal of the GtkAccelGroup of a closure which can be found out with gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure().

`widget` : | widget to list accelerator closures for
Returns : | a newly allocated GList of closures

### gtk_widget_event ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_event                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkEvent *event);

Rarely-used function. This function is used to emit the event signals on a widget (those signals should never be emitted without using this function to do so). If you want to synthesize an event though, don't use this function; instead, use gtk_main_do_event() so the event will behave as if it were in the event queue. Don't synthesize expose events; instead, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() to invalidate a region of the window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`event` : | a GdkEvent
Returns : | return from the event signal emission (`TRUE` if the event was handled)

### gtk_widget_activate ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_activate             (GtkWidget *widget);

For widgets that can be "activated" (buttons, menu items, etc.) this function activates them. Activation is what happens when you press Enter on a widget during key navigation; clicking a button, selecting a menu item, etc. If `widget` isn't activatable, the function returns `FALSE`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget that's activatable
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget was activatable

### gtk_widget_reparent ()

    void        gtk_widget_reparent             (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkWidget *new_parent);

Moves a widget from one GtkContainer to another, handling reference count issues to avoid destroying the widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`new_parent` : | a GtkContainer to move the widget into

### gtk_widget_intersect ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_intersect            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkRectangle *area,
                                                 GdkRectangle *intersection);

Computes the intersection of a `widget`'s area and `area`, storing the intersection in `intersection`, and returns `TRUE` if there was an intersection. `intersection` may be `NULL` if you're only interested in whether there was an intersection.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`area` : | a rectangle
`intersection` : | rectangle to store intersection of `widget` and `area`
Returns : | `TRUE` if there was an intersection

### gtk_widget_is_focus ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_is_focus             (GtkWidget *widget);

Determines if the widget is the focus widget within its toplevel. (This does not mean that the `HAS_FOCUS` flag is necessarily set; `HAS_FOCUS` will only be set if the toplevel widget additionally has the global input focus.)

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is the focus widget.

### gtk_widget_grab_focus ()

    void        gtk_widget_grab_focus           (GtkWidget *widget);

Causes `widget` to have the keyboard focus for the GtkWindow it's inside. `widget` must be a focusable widget, such as a GtkEntry; something like GtkFrame won't work. (More precisely, it must have the `GTK_CAN_FOCUS` flag set.)

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_grab_default ()

    void        gtk_widget_grab_default         (GtkWidget *widget);

Causes `widget` to become the default widget. `widget` must have the `GTK_CAN_DEFAULT` flag set; typically you have to set this flag yourself by calling `GTK_WIDGET_SET_FLAGS (`widget`, GTK_CAN_DEFAULT)`. The default widget is activated when the user presses Enter in a window. Default widgets must be activatable, that is, gtk_widget_activate() should affect them.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_set_name ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_name             (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *name);

Widgets can be named, which allows you to refer to them from a gtkrc file. You can apply a style to widgets with a particular name in the gtkrc file. See the documentation for gtkrc files (on the same page as the docs for GtkRcStyle).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`name` : | name for the widget

### gtk_widget_get_name ()

    G_CONST_RETURN gchar* gtk_widget_get_name   (GtkWidget *widget);

Retrieves the name of a widget. The return value should not be freed. See gtk_widget_set_name() for the significance of widget names.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | name of the widget

### gtk_widget_set_state ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_state            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkStateType state);

This function is for use in widget implementations. Sets the state of a widget (insensitive, prelighted, etc.) Usually you should set the state using wrapper functions such as gtk_widget_set_sensitive().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`state` : | new state for `widget`

### gtk_widget_set_sensitive ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_sensitive        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean sensitive);

Sets the sensitivity of a widget. A widget is sensitive if the user can interact with it. Insensitive widgets are "grayed out" and the user can't interact with them. Insensitive widgets are known as "inactive", "disabled", or "ghosted" in some other toolkits.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`sensitive` : | `TRUE` to make the widget sensitive

### gtk_widget_set_parent ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_parent           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkWidget *parent);

This function is useful only when implementing subclasses of GtkContainer. Sets the container as the parent of `widget`, and takes care of some details such as updating the state and style of the child to reflect its new location. The opposite function is gtk_widget_unparent().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`parent` : | parent container

### gtk_widget_set_parent_window ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_parent_window    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkWindow *parent_window);

Sets a non default parent window for `widget`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
`parent_window` : | the new parent window.

### gtk_widget_get_parent_window ()

    GdkWindow*  gtk_widget_get_parent_window    (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets `widget`'s parent window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
Returns : | the parent window of `widget`.

### gtk_widget_set_uposition ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_uposition        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y);

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

Sets the position of a widget. The funny "u" in the name comes from the "user position" hint specified by the X Window System, and exists for legacy reasons. This function doesn't work if a widget is inside a container; it's only really useful on GtkWindow.

Don't use this function to center dialogs over the main application window; most window managers will do the centering on your behalf if you call gtk_window_set_transient_for(), and it's really not possible to get the centering to work correctly in all cases from application code. But if you insist, use gtk_window_set_position() to set GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ON_PARENT, don't do the centering manually.

Note that although `x` and `y` can be individually unset, the position is not honoured unless both `x` and `y` are set.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | x position; -1 to unset x; -2 to leave x unchanged
`y` : | y position; -1 to unset y; -2 to leave y unchanged

### gtk_widget_set_usize ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_usize            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

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

This function is deprecated; use gtk_widget_set_size_request() instead.

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size request will be `width` by `height`. You can use this function to force a widget to be either larger or smaller than it is. The strange "usize" name dates from the early days of GTK+, and derives from X Window System terminology. In many cases, gtk_window_set_default_size() is a better choice for toplevel windows than this function; setting the default size will still allow users to shrink the window. Setting the usize will force them to leave the window at least as large as the usize. When dealing with window sizes, gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() can be a useful function as well.

Note the inherent danger of setting any fixed size - themes, translations into other languages, different fonts, and user action can all change the appropriate size for a given widget. So, it's basically impossible to hardcode a size that will always be correct.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`width` : | minimum width, or -1 to unset
`height` : | minimum height, or -1 to unset

### gtk_widget_set_events ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_events           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint events);

Sets the event mask (see GdkEventMask) for a widget. The event mask determines which events a widget will receive. Keep in mind that different widgets have different default event masks, and by changing the event mask you may disrupt a widget's functionality, so be careful. This function must be called while a widget is unrealized. Consider gtk_widget_add_events() for widgets that are already realized, or if you want to preserve the existing event mask. This function can't be used with GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets; to get events on those widgets, place them inside a GtkEventBox and receive events on the event box.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`events` : | event mask

### gtk_widget_add_events ()

    void        gtk_widget_add_events           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint events);

Adds the events in the bitfield `events` to the event mask for `widget`. See gtk_widget_set_events() for details.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`events` : | an event mask, see GdkEventMask

### gtk_widget_set_extension_events ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_extension_events (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkExtensionMode mode);

Sets the extension events mask to `mode`. See GdkExtensionMode and gdk_input_set_extension_events().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`mode` : | bitfield of extension events to receive

### gtk_widget_get_extension_events ()

    GdkExtensionMode gtk_widget_get_extension_events
                                                (GtkWidget *widget);

Retrieves the extension events the widget will receive; see gdk_input_set_extension_events().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | extension events for `widget`

### gtk_widget_get_toplevel ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_widget_get_toplevel         (GtkWidget *widget);

This function returns the topmost widget in the container hierarchy `widget` is a part of. If `widget` has no parent widgets, it will be returned as the topmost widget. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced.

Note the difference in behavior vs. gtk_widget_get_ancestor(); `gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_WINDOW)` would return `NULL` if `widget` wasn't inside a toplevel window, and if the window was inside a GtkWindow-derived widget which was in turn inside the toplevel GtkWindow. While the second case may seem unlikely, it actually happens when a GtkPlug is embedded inside a GtkSocket within the same application.

To reliably find the toplevel GtkWindow, use gtk_widget_get_toplevel() and check if the `TOPLEVEL` flags is set on the result.

     GtkWidget *toplevel = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (widget);
     if (GTK_WIDGET_TOPLEVEL (toplevel))
       {
         [ Perform action on toplevel. ]
       }

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the topmost ancestor of `widget`, or `widget` itself if there's no ancestor.

### gtk_widget_get_ancestor ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_widget_get_ancestor         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkType widget_type);

Gets the first ancestor of `widget` with type `widget_type`. For example, `gtk_widget_get_ancestor (widget, GTK_TYPE_BOX)` gets the first GtkBox that's an ancestor of `widget`. No reference will be added to the returned widget; it should not be unreferenced. See note about checking for a toplevel GtkWindow in the docs for gtk_widget_get_toplevel().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`widget_type` : | ancestor type
Returns : | the ancestor widget, or `NULL` if not found

### gtk_widget_get_colormap ()

    GdkColormap* gtk_widget_get_colormap        (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the colormap that will be used to render `widget`. No reference will be added to the returned colormap; it should not be unreferenced.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the colormap used by `widget`

### gtk_widget_set_colormap ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_colormap         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkColormap *colormap);

Sets the colormap for the widget to the given value. Widget must not have been previously realized. This probably should only be used from an `init()` function (i.e. from the constructor for the widget).

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`colormap` : | a colormap

### gtk_widget_get_visual ()

    GdkVisual*  gtk_widget_get_visual           (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the visual that will be used to render `widget`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the visual for `widget`

### gtk_widget_get_events ()

    gint        gtk_widget_get_events           (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the event mask for the widget (a bitfield containing flags from the GdkEventMask enumeration). These are the events that the widget will receive.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | event mask for `widget`

### gtk_widget_get_pointer ()

    void        gtk_widget_get_pointer          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint *x,
                                                 gint *y);

Obtains the location of the mouse pointer in widget coordinates. Widget coordinates are a bit odd; for historical reasons, they are defined as `widget`->window coordinates for widgets that are not GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets, and are relative to `widget`->allocation.x, `widget`->allocation.y for widgets that are GTK_NO_WINDOW widgets.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | return location for the X coordinate, or `NULL`
`y` : | return location for the Y coordinate, or `NULL`

### gtk_widget_is_ancestor ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_is_ancestor          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkWidget *ancestor);

Determines whether `widget` is somewhere inside `ancestor`, possibly with intermediate containers.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`ancestor` : | another GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if `ancestor` contains `widget` as a child, grandchild, great grandchild, etc.

### gtk_widget_translate_coordinates ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_translate_coordinates
                                                (GtkWidget *src_widget,
                                                 GtkWidget *dest_widget,
                                                 gint src_x,
                                                 gint src_y,
                                                 gint *dest_x,
                                                 gint *dest_y);

Translate coordinates relative to `src_widget`'s allocation to coordinates relative to `dest_widget`'s allocations. In order to perform this operation, both widgets must be realized, and must share a common toplevel.

`src_widget` : | a GtkWidget
`dest_widget` : | a GtkWidget
`src_x` : | X position relative to `src_widget`
`src_y` : | Y position relative to `src_widget`
`dest_x` : | location to store X position relative to `dest_widget`
`dest_y` : | location to store Y position relative to `dest_widget`
Returns : | `FALSE` if either widget was not realized, or there was no common ancestor. In this case, nothing is stored in *`dest_x` and *`dest_y`. Otherwise `TRUE`.

### gtk_widget_hide_on_delete ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_hide_on_delete       (GtkWidget *widget);

Utility function; intended to be connected to the "delete_event" signal on a GtkWindow. The function calls gtk_widget_hide() on its argument, then returns `TRUE`. If connected to "delete_event", the result is that clicking the close button for a window (on the window frame, top right corner usually) will hide but not destroy the window. By default, GTK+ destroys windows when "delete_event" is received.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE`

### gtk_widget_set_style ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_style            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkStyle *style);

Sets the GtkStyle for a widget (`widget`->style). You probably don't want to use this function; it interacts badly with themes, because themes work by replacing the GtkStyle. Instead, use gtk_widget_modify_style().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`style` : | a GtkStyle, or `NULL` to remove the effect of a previous gtk_widget_set_style() and go back to the default style

### gtk_widget_set_rc_style()

    #define gtk_widget_set_rc_style(widget)          (gtk_widget_set_style (widget, NULL))

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

Equivalent to `gtk_widget_set_style (widget, NULL)`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_widget_ensure_style ()

    void        gtk_widget_ensure_style         (GtkWidget *widget);

Ensures that `widget` has a style (`widget`->style). Not a very useful function; most of the time, if you want the style, the widget is realized, and realized widgets are guaranteed to have a style already.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_get_style ()

    GtkStyle*   gtk_widget_get_style            (GtkWidget *widget);

Simply an accessor function that returns `widget`->style.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the widget's GtkStyle

### gtk_widget_restore_default_style()

    #define gtk_widget_restore_default_style(widget) (gtk_widget_set_style (widget, NULL))

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

Equivalent to `gtk_widget_set_style (widget, NULL)`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_widget_reset_rc_styles ()

    void        gtk_widget_reset_rc_styles      (GtkWidget *widget);

Reset the styles of `widget` and all descendents, so when they are looked up again, they get the correct values for the currently loaded RC file settings.

This function is not useful for applications.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_widget_push_colormap ()

    void        gtk_widget_push_colormap        (GdkColormap *cmap);

Pushes `cmap` onto a global stack of colormaps; the topmost colormap on the stack will be used to create all widgets. Remove `cmap` with gtk_widget_pop_colormap(). There's little reason to use this function.

`cmap` : | a GdkColormap

### gtk_widget_pop_colormap ()

    void        gtk_widget_pop_colormap         (void);

Removes a colormap pushed with gtk_widget_push_colormap().

### gtk_widget_set_default_colormap ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_default_colormap (GdkColormap *colormap);

Sets the default colormap to use when creating widgets. gtk_widget_push_colormap() is a better function to use if you only want to affect a few widgets, rather than all widgets.

`colormap` : | a GdkColormap

### gtk_widget_get_default_style ()

    GtkStyle*   gtk_widget_get_default_style    (void);

Returns the default style used by all widgets initially.

Returns : | the default style. This GtkStyle object is owned by GTK+ and should not be modified or freed.

### gtk_widget_get_default_colormap ()

    GdkColormap* gtk_widget_get_default_colormap
                                                (void);

Obtains the default colormap used to create widgets.

Returns : | default widget colormap

### gtk_widget_get_default_visual ()

    GdkVisual*  gtk_widget_get_default_visual   (void);

Obtains the visual of the default colormap. Not really useful; used to be useful before gdk_colormap_get_visual() existed.

Returns : | visual of the default colormap

### gtk_widget_set_direction ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_direction        (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkTextDirection dir);

Sets the reading direction on a particular widget. This direction controls the primary direction for widgets containing text, and also the direction in which the children of a container are packed. The ability to set the direction is present in order so that correct localization into languages with right-to-left reading directions can be done. Generally, applications will let the default reading direction present, except for containers where the containers are arranged in an order that is explicitely visual rather than logical (such as buttons for text justification).

If the direction is set to `GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE`, then the value set by gtk_widget_set_default_direction() will be used.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`dir` : | the new direction

### enum GtkTextDirection

    typedef enum
    {
      GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE,
      GTK_TEXT_DIR_LTR,
      GTK_TEXT_DIR_RTL
    } GtkTextDirection;

### gtk_widget_get_direction ()

    GtkTextDirection gtk_widget_get_direction   (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the reading direction for a particular widget. See gtk_widget_set_direction().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the reading direction for the widget.

### gtk_widget_set_default_direction ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_default_direction
                                                (GtkTextDirection dir);

Sets the default reading direction for widgets where the direction has not been explicitly set by gtk_widget_set_direction().

`dir` : | the new default direction. This cannot be `GTK_TEXT_DIR_NONE`.

### gtk_widget_get_default_direction ()

    GtkTextDirection gtk_widget_get_default_direction
                                                (void);

Obtains the current default reading direction. See gtk_widget_set_default_direction().

Returns : | the current default direction.

### gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask ()

    void        gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask   (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkBitmap *shape_mask,
                                                 gint offset_x,
                                                 gint offset_y);

Sets a shape for this widget's GDK window. This allows for transparent windows etc., see gdk_window_shape_combine_mask() for more information.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
`shape_mask` : | shape to be added, or `NULL` to remove an existing shape.
`offset_x` : | X position of shape mask with respect to `window`.
`offset_y` : | Y position of shape mask with respect to `window`.

### gtk_widget_path ()

    void        gtk_widget_path                 (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 guint *path_length,
                                                 gchar **path,
                                                 gchar **path_reversed);

Obtains the full path to `widget`. The path is simply the name of a widget and all its parents in the container hierarchy, separated by periods. The name of a widget comes from gtk_widget_get_name(). Paths are used to apply styles to a widget in gtkrc configuration files. Widget names are the type of the widget by default (e.g. "GtkButton") or can be set to an application-specific value with gtk_widget_set_name(). By setting the name of a widget, you allow users or theme authors to apply styles to that specific widget in their gtkrc file. `path_reversed_p` fills in the path in reverse order, i.e. starting with `widget`'s name instead of starting with the name of `widget`'s outermost ancestor.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`path_length` : | location to store length of the path, or `NULL`
`path` : | location to store allocated path string, or `NULL`
`path_reversed` : | location to store allocated reverse path string, or `NULL`

### gtk_widget_class_path ()

    void        gtk_widget_class_path           (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 guint *path_length,
                                                 gchar **path,
                                                 gchar **path_reversed);

Same as gtk_widget_path(), but always uses the name of a widget's type, never uses a custom name set with gtk_widget_set_name().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`path_length` : | location to store the length of the class path, or `NULL`
`path` : | location to store the class path as an allocated string, or `NULL`
`path_reversed` : | location to store the reverse class path as an allocated string, or `NULL`

### gtk_widget_get_composite_name ()

    gchar*      gtk_widget_get_composite_name   (GtkWidget *widget);

Obtains the composite name of a widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
Returns : | the composite name of `widget`, or `NULL` if `widget` is not a composite child. The string should not be freed when it is no longer needed.

### gtk_widget_modify_style ()

    void        gtk_widget_modify_style         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkRcStyle *style);

Modifies style values on the widget. Modifications made using this technique take precedence over style values set via an RC file, however, they will be overriden if a style is explicitely set on the widget using gtk_widget_set_style(). The GtkRcStyle structure is designed so each field can either be set or unset, so it is possible, using this function, to modify some style values and leave the others unchanged.

Note that modifications made with this function are not cumulative with previous calls to gtk_widget_modify_style() or with such functions as gtk_widget_modify_fg(). If you wish to retain previous values, you must first call gtk_widget_get_modifier_style(), make your modifications to the returned style, then call gtk_widget_modify_style() with that style. On the other hand, if you first call gtk_widget_modify_style(), subsequent calls to such functions gtk_widget_modify_fg() will have a cumulative effect with the initial modifications.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`style` : | the GtkRcStyle holding the style modifications

### gtk_widget_get_modifier_style ()

    GtkRcStyle* gtk_widget_get_modifier_style   (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the current modifier style for the widget. (As set by gtk_widget_modify_style().) If no style has previously set, a new GtkRcStyle will be created with all values unset, and set as the modifier style for the widget. If you make changes to this rc style, you must call gtk_widget_modify_style(), passing in the returned rc style, to make sure that your changes take effect.

Caution: passing the style back to gtk_widget_modify_style() will normally end up destroying it, because gtk_widget_modify_style() copies the passed-in style and sets the copy as the new modifier style, thus dropping any reference to the old modifier style. Add a reference to the modifier style if you want to keep it alive.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the modifier style for the widget. This rc style is owned by the widget. If you want to keep a pointer to value this around, you must add a refcount using gtk_rc_style_ref().

### gtk_widget_modify_fg ()

    void        gtk_widget_modify_fg            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkStateType state,
                                                 GdkColor *color);

Sets the foreground color for a widget in a particular state. All other style values are left untouched. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

`color` : | the color to assign (does not need to be allocated), or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to of gtk_widget_modify_bg().

### gtk_widget_modify_text ()

    void        gtk_widget_modify_text          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkStateType state,
                                                 GdkColor *color);

Sets the text color for a widget in a particular state. All other style values are left untouched. The text color is the foreground color used along with the base color (see gtk_widget_modify_base()) for widgets such as GtkEntry and GtkTextView. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.
`state` : | the state for which to set the text color.
`color` : | the color to assign (does not need to be allocated), or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to of gtk_widget_modify_text().

    void        gtk_widget_modify_base          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkStateType state,
                                                 GdkColor *color);

Sets the base color for a widget in a particular state. All other style values are left untouched. The base color is the background color used along with the text color (see gtk_widget_modify_text()) for widgets such as GtkEntry and GtkTextView. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

`state` : | the state for which to set the base color.
`color` : | the color to assign (does not need to be allocated), or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to of gtk_widget_modify_base().

### gtk_widget_modify_font ()

    void        gtk_widget_modify_font          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 PangoFontDescription *font_desc);

Sets the font to use for a widget. All other style values are left untouched. See also gtk_widget_modify_style().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`font_desc` : | the font description to use, or `NULL` to undo the effect of previous calls to gtk_widget_modify_font().

### gtk_widget_create_pango_context ()

    PangoContext* gtk_widget_create_pango_context
                                                (GtkWidget *widget);

Creates a new PangoContext with the appropriate colormap, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget. See also gtk_widget_get_pango_context().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the new PangoContext

### gtk_widget_get_pango_context ()

    PangoContext* gtk_widget_get_pango_context  (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets a PangoContext with the appropriate colormap, font description and base direction for this widget. Unlike the context returned by gtk_widget_create_pango_context(), this context is owned by the widget (it can be used as long as widget exists), and will be updated to match any changes to the widget's attributes.

If you create and keep a PangoLayout using this context, you must deal with changes to the context by calling pango_layout_context_changed() on the layout in response to the ::style_set and ::direction_set signals for the widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the PangoContext for the widget.

### gtk_widget_create_pango_layout ()

    PangoLayout* gtk_widget_create_pango_layout (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *text);

Creates a new PangoLayout with the appropriate colormap, font description, and base direction for drawing text for this widget.

If you keep a PangoLayout created in this way around, in order notify the layout of changes to the base direction or font of this widget, you must call pango_layout_context_changed() in response to the ::style_set and ::direction_set signals for the widget.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`text` : | text to set on the layout (can be `NULL`)
Returns : | the new PangoLayout

### gtk_widget_render_icon ()

    GdkPixbuf*  gtk_widget_render_icon          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *stock_id,
                                                 GtkIconSize size,
                                                 const gchar *detail);

A convenience function that uses the theme engine and RC file settings for `widget` to look up `stock_id` and render it to a pixbuf. `stock_id` should be a stock icon ID such as GTK_STOCK_OPEN or GTK_STOCK_OK. `size` should be a size such as GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU. `detail` should be a string that identifies the widget or code doing the rendering, so that theme engines can special-case rendering for that widget or code.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`stock_id` : | a stock ID
`size` : | a stock size
`detail` : | render detail to pass to theme engine
Returns : | a new pixbuf, or `NULL` if the stock ID wasn't known

### gtk_widget_pop_composite_child ()

    void        gtk_widget_pop_composite_child  (void);

Cancels the effect of a previous call to gtk_widget_push_composite_child().

### gtk_widget_push_composite_child ()

    void        gtk_widget_push_composite_child (void);

Makes all newly-created widgets as composite children until the corresponding gtk_widget_pop_composite_child() call.

A composite child is a child that's an implementation detail of the container it's inside and should not be visible to people using the container. Composite children aren't treated differently by GTK (but see gtk_container_foreach() vs. gtk_container_forall()), but e.g. GUI builders might want to treat them in a different way.

Here is a simple example:

      gtk_widget_push_composite_child ();
      scrolled_window->hscrollbar = gtk_hscrollbar_new (hadjustment);
      gtk_widget_set_composite_name (scrolled_window->hscrollbar, "hscrollbar");
      gtk_widget_pop_composite_child ();
      gtk_widget_set_parent (scrolled_window->hscrollbar,
                             GTK_WIDGET (scrolled_window));
      gtk_widget_ref (scrolled_window->hscrollbar);

### gtk_widget_queue_clear ()

    void        gtk_widget_queue_clear          (GtkWidget *widget);

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

DEPRECATED. Use gtk_widget_queue_draw() instead.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget

### gtk_widget_queue_clear_area ()

    void        gtk_widget_queue_clear_area     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

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

DEPRECATED. This function is no longer different from gtk_widget_queue_draw_area(), though it once was. Now it just calls gtk_widget_queue_draw_area(). Originally gtk_widget_queue_clear_area() would force a redraw of the background for `GTK_NO_WINDOW` widgets, and gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() would not. Now both functions ensure the background will be redrawn.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | x coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`y` : | y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`width` : | width of region to draw
`height` : | height of region to draw

### gtk_widget_queue_draw_area ()

    void        gtk_widget_queue_draw_area      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint x,
                                                 gint y,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

Invalidates the rectangular area of `widget` defined by `x`, `y`, `width` and `height` by calling gdk_window_invalidate_rect() on the widget's window and all its child windows. Once the main loop becomes idle (after the current batch of events has been processed, roughly), the window will receive expose events for the union of all regions that have been invalidated.

Normally you would only use this function in widget implementations. You might also use it, or gdk_window_invalidate_rect() directly, to schedule a redraw of a GtkDrawingArea or some portion thereof.

Frequently you can just call gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region() instead of this function. Those functions will invalidate only a single window, instead of the widget and all its children.

The advantage of adding to the invalidated region compared to simply drawing immediately is efficiency; using an invalid region ensures that you only have to redraw one time.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`x` : | x coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`y` : | y coordinate of upper-left corner of rectangle to redraw
`width` : | width of region to draw
`height` : | height of region to draw

### gtk_widget_reset_shapes ()

    void        gtk_widget_reset_shapes         (GtkWidget *widget);

Recursively resets the shape on this widget and its descendants.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget.

### gtk_widget_set_app_paintable ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_app_paintable    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean app_paintable);

`widget` : |
`app_paintable` : |

### gtk_widget_set_double_buffered ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_double_buffered  (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean double_buffered);

Widgets are double buffered by default; you can use this function to turn off the buffering. "Double buffered" simply means that gdk_window_begin_paint_region() and gdk_window_end_paint() are called automatically around expose events sent to the widget. gdk_window_begin_paint() diverts all drawing to a widget's window to an offscreen buffer, and gdk_window_end_paint() draws the buffer to the screen. The result is that users see the window update in one smooth step, and don't see individual graphics primitives being rendered.

In very simple terms, double buffered widgets don't flicker, so you would only use this function to turn off double buffering if you had special needs and really knew what you were doing.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`double_buffered` : | `TRUE` to double-buffer a widget

### gtk_widget_set_redraw_on_allocate ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_redraw_on_allocate
                                                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean redraw_on_allocate);

Sets whether a when a widgets size allocation changes, the entire widget is queued for drawing. By default, this setting is `TRUE` and the entire widget is redrawn on every size change. If your widget leaves the upper left are unchanged when made bigger, turning this setting on will improve performance.

Note that for `NO_WINDOW` widgets setting this flag to `FALSE` turns off all allocation on resizing: the widget will not even redraw if its position changes; this is to allow containers that don't draw anything to avoid excess invalidations. If you set this flag on a `NO_WINDOW` widget that does draw on `widget`->window, you are responsible for invalidating both the old and new allocation of the widget when the widget is moved and responsible for invalidating regions newly when the widget increases size.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`redraw_on_allocate` : | if `TRUE`, the entire widget will be redrawn when it is allocated to a new size. Otherwise, only the new portion of the widget will be redrawn.

### gtk_widget_set_composite_name ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_composite_name   (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *name);

### gtk_widget_set_scroll_adjustments ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_set_scroll_adjustments
                                                (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                                                 GtkAdjustment *vadjustment);

For widgets that support scrolling, sets the scroll adjustments and returns `TRUE`. For widgets that don't support scrolling, does nothing and returns `FALSE`. Widgets that don't support scrolling can be scrolled by placing them in a GtkViewport, which does support scrolling.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`hadjustment` : | an adjustment for horizontal scrolling, or `NULL`
`vadjustment` : | an adjustment for vertical scrolling, or `NULL`
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget supports scrolling

### gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean group_cycling);

                                                (GtkWidgetClass *klass,
                                                 guint *n_properties);

Returns all style properties of a widget class.

`klass` : | a GtkWidgetClass
`n_properties` : | location to return the number of style properties found
Returns : | an newly allocated array of GParamSpec*. The array must be freed with g_free().

### gtk_widget_region_intersect ()

    GdkRegion*  gtk_widget_region_intersect     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkRegion *region);

Computes the intersection of a `widget`'s area and `region`, returning the intersection. The result may be empty, use gdk_region_empty() to check.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`region` : | a GdkRegion, in the same coordinate system as `widget`->allocation. That is, relative to `widget`->window for `NO_WINDOW` widgets; relative to the parent window of `widget`->window for widgets with their own window.
Returns : | A newly allocated region holding the intersection of `widget` and `region`. The coordinates of the return value are relative to `widget`->window for `NO_WINDOW` widgets, and relative to the parent window of `widget`->window for widgets with their own window.

### gtk_widget_send_expose ()

                                                 GdkEvent *event);

Very rarely-used function. This function is used to emit an expose event signals on a widget. This function is not normally used directly. The only time it is used is when propagating an expose event to a child `NO_WINDOW` widget, and that is normally done using gtk_container_propagate_expose().

If you want to force an area of a window to be redrawn, use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region(). To cause the redraw to be done immediately, follow that call with a call to gdk_window_process_updates().

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`event` : | a expose GdkEvent
Returns : | return from the event signal emission (`TRUE` if the event was handled)

### gtk_widget_style_get ()

    void        gtk_widget_style_get            (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *first_property_name,

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`first_property_name` : | the name of the first property to get
`...` : | pairs of property names and locations to return the property values, starting with the location for `first_property_name`, terminated by `NULL`.

### gtk_widget_style_get_property ()

### gtk_widget_child_focus ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_child_focus          (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GtkDirectionType direction);

This function is used by custom widget implementations; if you're writing an app, you'd use gtk_widget_grab_focus() to move the focus to a particular widget, and gtk_container_set_focus_chain() to change the focus tab order. So you may want to investigate those functions instead.

gtk_widget_child_focus() is called by containers as the user moves around the window using keyboard shortcuts. `direction` indicates what kind of motion is taking place (up, down, left, right, tab forward, tab backward). gtk_widget_child_focus() invokes the "focus" signal on GtkWidget; widgets override the default handler for this signal in order to implement appropriate focus behavior.

The "focus" default handler for a widget should return `TRUE` if moving in `direction` left the focus on a focusable location inside that widget, and `FALSE` if moving in `direction` moved the focus outside the widget. If returning `TRUE`, widgets normally call gtk_widget_grab_focus() to place the focus accordingly; if returning `FALSE`, they don't modify the current focus location.

This function replaces gtk_container_focus() from GTK+ 1.2. It was necessary to check that the child was visible, sensitive, and focusable before calling gtk_container_focus(). gtk_widget_child_focus() returns `FALSE` if the widget is not currently in a focusable state, so there's no need for those checks.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`direction` : | direction of focus movement
Returns : | `TRUE` if focus ended up inside `widget`

### gtk_widget_child_notify ()

    void        gtk_widget_child_notify         (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 const gchar *child_property);

`widget` : |
`child_property` : |

### gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify ()

    void        gtk_widget_freeze_child_notify  (GtkWidget *widget);

`widget` : |

### gtk_widget_get_child_visible ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_get_child_visible    (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the value set with gtk_widget_set_child_visible(). If you feel a need to use this function, your code probably needs reorganization.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if the widget is mapped with the parent.

### gtk_widget_get_parent ()

    GtkWidget*  gtk_widget_get_parent           (GtkWidget *widget);

Returns the parent container of `widget`.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the parent container of `widget`, or `NULL`

### gtk_widget_get_settings ()

    GtkSettings* gtk_widget_get_settings        (GtkWidget *widget);

Gets the settings object holding the settings (global property settings, RC file information, etc) used for this widget.

Note that this function can only be called when the GtkWidget is attached to a toplevel, since the settings object is specific to a particular GdkScreen.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the relevant GtkSettings object

### gtk_widget_get_clipboard ()

    GtkClipboard* gtk_widget_get_clipboard      (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 GdkAtom selection);

Returns the clipboard object for the given selection to be used with `widget`. `widget` must have a GdkDisplay associated with it, so must be attached to a toplevel window.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`selection` : | a GdkAtom which identifies the clipboard to use. `GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD` gives the default clipboard. Another common value is `GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY`, which gives the primary X selection.
Returns : | the appropriate clipboard object. If no clipboard already exists, a new one will be created. Once a clipboard object has been created, it is persistent for all time.

### gtk_widget_get_display ()

    GdkDisplay* gtk_widget_get_display          (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the GdkDisplay for the toplevel window associated with this widget. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget hierarchy with a GtkWindow at the top.

In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkDisplay for the toplevel for this widget.

### gtk_widget_get_root_window ()

    GdkWindow*  gtk_widget_get_root_window      (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the root window where this widget is located. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget heirarchy with GtkWindow at the top.

The root window is useful for such purposes as creating a popup GdkWindow associated with the window. In general, you should only create display specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkWindow root window for the toplevel for this widget.

### gtk_widget_get_screen ()

    GdkScreen*  gtk_widget_get_screen           (GtkWidget *widget);

Get the GdkScreen from the toplevel window associated with this widget. This function can only be called after the widget has been added to a widget heirarchy with a GtkWindow at the top.

In general, you should only create screen specific resources when a widget has been realized, and you should free those resources when the widget is unrealized.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | the GdkScreen for the toplevel for this widget.

### gtk_widget_has_screen ()

    gboolean    gtk_widget_has_screen           (GtkWidget *widget);

Checks whether there is a GdkScreen is associated with this widget. All toplevel widgets have an associated screen, and all widgets added into a heirarchy with a toplevel window at the top.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
Returns : | `TRUE` if there is a GdkScreen associcated with the widget.

### gtk_widget_get_size_request ()

    void        gtk_widget_get_size_request     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint *width,
                                                 gint *height);

Gets the size request that was explicitly set for the widget using gtk_widget_set_size_request(). A value of -1 stored in `width` or `height` indicates that that dimension has not been set explicitly and the natural requisition of the widget will be used intead. See gtk_widget_set_size_request(). To get the size a widget will actually use, call gtk_widget_size_request() instead of this function.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`width` : | return location for width, or `NULL`
`height` : | return location for height, or `NULL`

### gtk_widget_pop_visual()

    #define gtk_widget_pop_visual()               ((void) 0)

Warning

### gtk_widget_set_child_visible ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_child_visible    (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gboolean is_visible);

Sets whether `widget` should be mapped along with its when its parent is mapped and `widget` has been shown with gtk_widget_show().

The child visibility can be set for widget before it is added to a container with gtk_widget_set_parent(), to avoid mapping children unnecessary before immediately unmapping them. However it will be reset to its default state of `TRUE` when the widget is removed from a container.

Note that changing the child visibility of a widget does not queue a resize on the widget. Most of the time, the size of a widget is computed from all visible children, whether or not they are mapped. If this is not the case, the container can queue a resize itself.

This function is only useful for container implementations and never should be called by an application.

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`is_visible` : | if `TRUE`, `widget` should be mapped along with its parent.

### gtk_widget_set_default_visual()

    #define gtk_widget_set_default_visual(visual) ((void) 0)

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

### gtk_widget_set_size_request ()

    void        gtk_widget_set_size_request     (GtkWidget *widget,
                                                 gint width,
                                                 gint height);

Sets the minimum size of a widget; that is, the widget's size request will be `width` by `height`. You can use this function to force a widget to be either larger or smaller than it normally would be.

In most cases, gtk_window_set_default_size() is a better choice for toplevel windows than this function; setting the default size will still allow users to shrink the window. Setting the size request will force them to leave the window at least as large as the size request. When dealing with window sizes, gtk_window_set_geometry_hints() can be a useful function as well.

Note the inherent danger of setting any fixed size - themes, translations into other languages, different fonts, and user action can all change the appropriate size for a given widget. So, it's basically impossible to hardcode a size that will always be correct.

The size request of a widget is the smallest size a widget can accept while still functioning well and drawing itself correctly. However in some strange cases a widget may be allocated less than its requested size, and in many cases a widget may be allocated more space than it requested.

If the size request in a given direction is -1 (unset), then the "natural" size request of the widget will be used instead.

Widgets can't actually be allocated a size less than 1 by 1, but you can pass 0,0 to this function to mean "as small as possible."

`widget` : | a GtkWidget
`width` : | width `widget` should request, or -1 to unset
`height` : | height `widget` should request, or -1 to unset

### gtk_widget_set_visual()

    #define gtk_widget_set_visual(widget,visual)  ((void) 0)
