## Detailed Description

## Member Function Documentation

bool Gdk::Device::get_axis | ( | double & | axes,
|  | AxisUse | use,
|  | double & | value |
| ) |  |  | const

Interprets an array of double as axis values for a given device, and locates the value in the array for a given axis use.

Parameters:

  | axes | Pointer to an array of axes.
  | use | The use to look for.
  | value | Location to store the found value.

Returns:
  `true` if the given axis use was found, otherwise `false`.

bool Gdk::Device::get_has_cursor | ( |  | ) | const

Discover whether the pointer follows device motion.

Returns:
  true if the pointer follows device motion.

bool Gdk::Device::get_history | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Window>& | window,
|  | guint32 | start,
|  | guint32 | stop,
|  | GdkTimeCoord **& | events,
|  | int & | n_events |
| ) |  |  |

Obtains the motion history for a device; given a starting and ending timestamp, return all events in the motion history for the device in the given range of time.

Some windowing systems do not support motion history, in which case, `false` will be returned. (This is not distinguishable from the case where motion history is supported and no events were found.)

Parameters:

  | window | The window with respect to which which the event coordinates will be reported.
  | start | Starting timestamp for range of events to return.
  | stop | Ending timestamp for the range of events to return.
  | events | Location to store a newly-allocated array of Gdk::TimeCoord, or `0`.
  | n_events | Location to store the length of events, or `0`.

Returns:
  `true` if the windowing system supports motion history and at least one event was found.

InputMode Gdk::Device::get_mode | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the mode of this device.

Returns:
  The mode of this device.

Glib::ustring Gdk::Device::get_name | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the name of this device.

Returns:
  The name of this device.

InputSource Gdk::Device::get_source | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the type of this device.

Returns:
  The type of this device.

void Gdk::Device::get_state | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Window>& | window,
|  | double & | axes,
|  | ModifierType& | mask |
| ) |  |  |

const GdkDevice* Gdk::Device::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GdkDevice* Gdk::Device::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GdkDevice* Gdk::Device::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

void Gdk::Device::set_axis_use | ( | guint | index_,
|  | AxisUse | use |
| ) |  |  |

void Gdk::Device::set_key | ( | guint | index_,
|  | guint | keyval,
|  | ModifierType | modifiers |
| ) |  |  |

bool Gdk::Device::set_mode | ( | InputMode | mode | ) |

void Gdk::Device::set_source | ( | InputSource | source | ) |

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Device> wrap | ( | GdkDevice * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
