Method Documentation

__init__	(	self,
		Display	display,
		Window	window,
		Window	rootWindow,
		SIP_PYLIST	properties,
		NET.Role	role=NET.Client
	)

Create a NETWinInfo object, which will be used to set/read/change information stored on an application window.

Parameters:

	display	An X11 Display struct.
	window	The Window id of the application window.
	rootWindow	The Window id of the root window.
	properties	An array of elements listing all properties the client is interested in.The elements contain OR'ed values of constants from the NET base class, in the following order: [0]= NET.Property, [1]= NET.Property2. In future versions, the list may be extended. In case you pass less elements, the missing ones will be replaced with default values.
	properties_size	The number of elements in the properties array.
	role	Select the application role. If this argument is omitted, the role will default to Client.

__init__	(	self,
		Display	display,
		Window	window,
		Window	rootWindow,
		long	properties,
		NET.Role	role=NET.Client
	)

This constructor differs from the above one only in the way it accepts the list of properties the client is interested in. The properties argument is equivalent to the first element of the properties array in the above constructor.

__init__	(	self,
		NETWinInfo	wininfo
	)

Creates a shared copy of the specified NETWinInfo object.

Parameters:

wininfo

the NETWinInfo to copy

long allowedActions ( self )

Returns actions that the window manager allows for the window.

changeDesktop	(	self,
		int	desktop
	)

A Window Manager should subclass NETWinInfo and reimplement this function when it wants to know when a Client made a request to change desktops (ie. move to another desktop).

Parameters:

desktop

the number of the desktop

changeState	(	self,
		long	state,
		long	mask
	)

A Window Manager should subclass NETWinInfo and reimplement this function when it wants to know when a Client made a request to change state (ie. to Shade / Unshade).

Parameters:

	state	the new state
	mask	the mask for the state

QString clientMachine ( self )

Returns the client machine for the window (i.e. WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property).

int desktop	(	self,
		bool	ignore_viewport=0
	)

Returns the desktop where the window is residing.

NOTE: KDE uses virtual desktops and does not directly support viewport in any way. It is however mapped to virtual desktops if needed.

Parameters:

ignore_viewport

if false, viewport is mapped to virtual desktops

Returns:: the number of the window's desktop

See also:: OnAllDesktops()

event	(	self,
		XEvent	event,
		long	properties,
		int	properties_size
	)

This function takes the passed XEvent and returns an OR'ed list of NETWinInfo properties that have changed in the properties argument. The new information will be read immediately by the class. The elements of the properties argument are as they would be passed to the constructor, if the array is not large enough, changed properties that don't fit in it won't be listed there (they'll be updated in the class though).

Parameters:

	event	the event
	properties	properties that changed
	properties_size	size of the passed properties array

long event	(	self,
		XEvent	event
	)

This function takes the pass XEvent and returns an OR'ed list of NETWinInfo properties that have changed. The new information will be read immediately by the class. This overloaded version returns only a single mask, and therefore cannot check state of all properties like the other variant.

Parameters:

event

the event

Returns:: the properties

NETExtendedStrut extendedStrut ( self )

Returns the extended (partial) strut specified by this client. See _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL in the spec.

NETStrut frameExtents ( self )

Returns the frame decoration strut, i.e. the width of the decoration borders.

Since:: 4.3

Window groupLeader ( self )

Returns the leader window for the group the window is in, if any.

Bool handledIcons ( self )

Returns whether or not this client handles icons.

Returns:: true if this client handles icons, false otherwise

bool hasNETSupport ( self )

Returns true if the window has any window type set, even if the type itself is not known to this implementation. Presence of a window type as specified by the NETWM spec is considered as the window supporting this specification.

Returns:: true if the window has support for the NETWM spec

bool hasWindowType ( self )

This function returns false if the window has not window type specified at all. Used by KWindowInfo.windowType() to return either NET.Normal or NET.Dialog as appropriate as a fallback.

NETIcon icon	(	self,
		int	width=-1,
		int	height=-1
	)

Returns an icon. If width and height are passed, the icon returned will be the closest it can find (the next biggest). If width and height are omitted, then the largest icon in the list is returned.

Parameters:

	width	the preferred width for the icon, -1 to ignore
	height	the preferred height for the icon, -1 to ignore

Returns:: the icon

NETRect iconGeometry ( self )

Returns the icon geometry.

Returns:: the geometry of the icon

QString iconName ( self )

Returns the iconic name of the window in UTF-8 format. Note that this has nothing to do with icons, but it's for "iconic" representations of the window (taskbars etc.), that should be shown when the window is in iconic state. See description of _NET_WM_ICON_NAME for details.

Returns:: the iconic name

int iconSizes ( self )

Returns a list of provided icon sizes. Each size is pair width,height, terminated with pair 0,0.

Since:: 4.3

kdeGeometry	(	self,
		NETRect	frame,
		NETRect	window
	)

Parameters:

	frame	the geometry for the frame
	window	the geometry for the window

NET.MappingState mappingState ( self )

Returns the mapping state for the window (see the NET base class documentation for a description of mapping state).

Returns:: the mapping state

QString name ( self )

Returns the name of the window in UTF-8 format.

Returns:: the name of the window

long opacity ( self )

Returns the opacity of the window.

long passedProperties ( self )

Returns the properties argument passed to the constructor. The size is the maximum array size the constructor accepts.

int pid ( self )

Returns the process id for the client window.

Returns:: the process id of the window

setAllowedActions	(	self,
		long	actions
	)

Sets actions that the window manager allows for the window.

setDesktop	(	self,
		int	desktop,
		bool	ignore_viewport=0
	)

Set which window the desktop is (should be) on.

NOTE: KDE uses virtual desktops and does not directly support viewport in any way. It is however mapped to virtual desktops if needed.

Parameters:

	desktop	the number of the new desktop
	ignore_viewport	if false, viewport is mapped to virtual desktops

See also:: OnAllDesktops()

setExtendedStrut	(	self,

Parameters:

handled

true if the window handles icons, false otherwise

setIcon	(	self,
		NETIcon	icon,
		Bool	replace=True
	)

Set icons for the application window. If replace is True, then the specified icon is defined to be the only icon. If replace is False, then the specified icon is added to a list of icons.

Parameters:

		void	data
	)

Virtual hook, used to add new "virtual" functions while maintaining binary compatibility. Unused in this class.

QString visibleIconName ( self )

Returns the visible iconic name as set by the window manager in UTF-8 format. Note that this has nothing to do with icons, but it's for "iconic" representations of the window (taskbars etc.), that should be shown when the window is in iconic state. See description of _NET_WM_VISIBLE_ICON_NAME for details.

Returns:: the visible iconic name

QString visibleName ( self )

Returns the visible name as set by the window manager in UTF-8 format.

Returns:: the visible name of the window

QString windowClassClass ( self )

NET.WindowType windowType	(	self,
		long	supported_types
	)

Returns the window type for this client (see the NET base class documentation for a description of the various window types). Since clients may specify several windows types for a window in order to support backwards compatibility and extensions not available in the NETWM spec, you should specify all window types you application supports (see the NET.WindowTypeMask mask values for various window types). This method will return the first window type that is listed in the supported types, or NET.Unknown if none of the window types is supported.

Returns:: the type of the window
