Method
GtkWindowparse_geometry
deprecated: 3.20
Declaration [src]
gboolean
gtk_window_parse_geometry (
GtkWindow* window,
const gchar* geometry
)
Description [src]
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.
