GtkWidgetset_window

since: 2.18

Declaration [src]

void
gtk_widget_set_window (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GdkWindow* window
)

Description [src]

Sets a widget’s window. This function should only be used in a widget’s GtkWidget::realize implementation. The %window passed is usually either new window created with gdk_window_new(), or the window of its parent widget as returned by gtk_widget_get_parent_window().

Widgets must indicate whether they will create their own GdkWindow by calling gtk_widget_set_has_window(). This is usually done in the widget’s init() function.

Note that this function does not add any reference to window.

Available since: 2.18

The instance takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
