Re: Shall we wrap the gesture API in gtkmm? And GtkLockButton?

[Kjell Ahlstedt <kjell ahlstedt bredband net>]

I've wrapped the gestures classes and pushed them to the git repository, together with a demo example, which is a translation to C++ of the gestures demo in gtk+. I have not been able to test it on a touchscreen, but some of the gestures work with a mouse or touchpad.

If you get these new classes from the git repository, note that you must also get the latest version of glibmm from git. Some of the gesture*.hg files require the latest fix in gmmproc. (Allow multi-word parameter types, like unsigned int, in _WRAP_METHOD.)

I leave GtkLockButton and GPermission to you, Juan.

Hi,

I think I prefer working on GtkLockButton+GPermission for now. For these
I'll file a bug for you all to review the code. Thank you.

Best regards,
Juan.

I've started working on all of the gesture API. Most of these classes
are very small.

If you want to share the work with me, it would be great if you could
make some code that uses this API. The gtk+ gesture classes are used
in gtk+/demos/gtk-demo/gestures.c and gtk+/testsuite/gtk/gestures.c.
The demos file is probably a good starting point.
I realize that you can't finish such a job before I've pushed the
Gtk::Gesture classes. Perhaps I can do that late today. If not, within
the next few days.

I have not started wrapping GtkLockButton. I'm not sure I'll do it, at
least not soon. If you want to do it, go ahead.

Hi,

I could work on some of them. Have you started working  on any? Do you have a split proposal?

Best regards,
Juan.

Gtk+'s NEWS file says "The gesture-related APIs are still subject to
change."

I guess they will become stable when this verision of GTK+ becomes
stable, so it would be great to start wrapping them now. Thanks

There is also the GtkLockButton class from gtk+ 3.2, which is not
wrapped yet. It requires GPermission (gio), which is also not wrapped
yet. GPermission is an abstract base class. The only subclass I've
found is GSimplePermission.

I can wrap some of these classes, but I doubt that I will wrap all of
them. Is anyone interested in C++ versions?

It sounds less useful, but it would be nice to have.
