Method
GtkApplicationinhibit
since: 3.4
Declaration [src]
guint
gtk_application_inhibit (
GtkApplication* application,
GtkWindow* window,
GtkApplicationInhibitFlags flags,
const gchar* reason
)
Description [src]
Inform the session manager that certain types of actions should be inhibited. This is not guaranteed to work on all platforms and for all types of actions.
Applications should invoke this method when they begin an operation
that should not be interrupted, such as creating a CD or DVD. The
types of actions that may be blocked are specified by the flags
parameter. When the application completes the operation it should
call gtk_application_uninhibit()
to remove the inhibitor. Note that
an application can have multiple inhibitors, and all of them must
be individually removed. Inhibitors are also cleared when the
application exits.
Applications should not expect that they will always be able to block the action. In most cases, users will be given the option to force the action to take place.
Reasons should be short and to the point.
If window
is given, the session manager may point the user to
this window to find out more about why the action is inhibited.
