Function

GimpUiwidget_free_native_handle

since: 3.0

Declaration [src]

void
gimp_widget_free_native_handle (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GBytes** window_handle
)

Description [src]

Disposes a widget’s native window handle created, possibly asynchronously, by a previous call to gimp_widget_set_native_handle().

Depending on the platform, this function may also execute other necessary clean up so you should call it and not simply free the GBytes yourself.

You should call this function in the dispose() implementation of your custom widget before chaining up with the parent class’ dispose() call. The first call to the parent’s dispose() will destroy the GdkWindow which will prevent this function to do part of its cleanup when run after. This may result in crashes on some platforms.

This is safe to call even if deferenced window_handle is NULL, i.e. that you don’t have to check if the window handle was actually set.

Available since: 3.0

Parameters

widget

Type: GtkWidget

A widget we got a handle for.

The data is owned by the caller of the function.
window_handle

Type: GBytes

Same pointer previously passed to gimp_widget_set_native_handle().

The argument will be modified by the function.
The caller of the function takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
