Method

GtkWidgetget_child_requisition

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_widget_get_child_requisition (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GtkRequisition* requisition
)

Description [src]

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_size_request()), 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().

Deprecated since:	3.0
Use `gtk_widget_get_preferred_size()` instead.

Parameters

`requisition`	`GtkRequisition`
	A `GtkRequisition` to be filled in.
	The argument will be set by the function.
	The data is owned by the caller of the function.
