## Detailed Description

Functions dealing with Evas smart objects (instances).

Smart objects are groupings of primitive Evas objects that behave as a cohesive group. For instance, a file manager icon may be a smart object composed of an image object, a text label and two rectangles that appear behind the image and text when the icon is selected. As a smart object, the normal Evas object API could be used on the icon object.

Besides that, generally smart objects implement a specific API, so that users interact with its own custom features. The API takes form of explicit exported functions one may call and smart callbacks.

# Smart events and callbacks

Smart objects can elect events (smart events, from now on) occurring inside of them to be reported back to their users via callback functions (smart callbacks). This way, you can extend Evas' own object events. They are defined by an event string that identifies them uniquely. There's also a function prototype definition for the callback functions: Evas_Smart_Cb.

When defining an Evas_Smart_Class, smart object implementors are strongly encouraged to properly set the Evas_Smart_Class::callbacks callbacks description array, so that the users of the smart object can have introspection on its events API at run time.

See some examples of this group of functions.

## Function Documentation

## evas_smart_legacy_type_register()

EVAS_API void evas_smart_legacy_type_register | ( | const char * | type,
|  | const Efl_Class * | klass )

Registers an object type and its associated class.

LEGACY MECHANISM SUPPORT.

This function is invoked in the class constructor of smart classes. It will add the type and the class into a hash table that will then be used to check the type of an object. This function has been implemented to support legacy mechanism that checks objects types by name. USE IT ONLY FOR LEGACY SUPPORT. Otherwise, it is HIGHLY recommended to use efl_isa.

Parameters

  type | The type (name string) to add.
  klass | The class to associate to the type.

See also
  efl_isa

References eina_hash_set().

## evas_smart_objects_calculating_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_smart_objects_calculating_get | ( | const Eo * | obj | ) |

Get if the canvas is currently calculating smart objects.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  `true` if currently calculating smart objects.

References EINA_FALSE.

## evas_object_smart_add()

EVAS_API Evas_Object * evas_object_smart_add | ( | Evas * | e,
|  | Evas_Smart * | s )

Instantiates a new smart object described by `s`.

Parameters

  e | the canvas on which to add the object
  s | the Evas_Smart describing the smart object

Returns
  a new Evas_Object handle

This is the function one should use when defining the public function adding an instance of the new smart object to a given canvas. It will take care of setting all of its internals to work as they should, if the user set things properly, as seem on the EVAS_SMART_SUBCLASS_NEW, for example.

References EINA_SAFETY_ON_FALSE_RETURN_VAL, and EVAS_CANVAS_CLASS.

## evas_object_smart_member_add()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_member_add | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | Evas_Object * | smart_obj )

Set an Evas object as a member of a given smart object.

Parameters

  obj | The member object
  smart_obj | The smart object

Members will automatically be stacked and layered together with the smart object. The various stacking functions will operate on members relative to the other members instead of the entire canvas, since they now live on an exclusive layer (see evas_object_stack_above(), for more details).

Any `smart_obj` object's specific implementation of the `member_add()` smart function will take place too, naturally.

  evas_object_smart_member_del()

## evas_object_smart_member_del()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_member_del | ( | Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Removes a member object from a given smart object.

Parameters

  obj | the member object

This removes a member object from a smart object, if it was added to any. The object will still be on the canvas, but no longer associated with whichever smart object it was associated with.

  evas_object_smart_member_add() for more details
  evas_object_smart_members_get()

## evas_object_smart_callback_add()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_callback_add | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | event,
|  | Evas_Smart_Cb | func,
|  | const void * | data )

Add (register) a callback function to the smart event specified by `event` on the smart object `obj`.

Parameters

  obj | a smart object
  event | the event's name string
  func | the callback function
  data | user data to be passed to the callback function

Smart callbacks look very similar to Evas callbacks, but are implemented as smart object's custom ones.

This function adds a function callback to an smart object when the event named `event` occurs in it. The function is `func`.

In the event of a memory allocation error during addition of the callback to the object, evas_alloc_error() should be used to determine the nature of the error, if any, and the program should sensibly try and recover.

A smart callback function must have the Evas_Smart_Cb prototype definition. The first parameter (`data`) in this definition will have the same value passed to evas_object_smart_callback_add() as the `data` parameter, at runtime. The second parameter `obj` is a handle to the object on which the event occurred. The third parameter, `event_info`, is a pointer to data which is totally dependent on the smart object's implementation and semantic for the given event.

There is an infrastructure for introspection on smart objects' events (see evas_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get()), but no internal smart objects on Evas implement them yet.

## evas_object_smart_callback_priority_add()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_callback_priority_add | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | event,
|  | Evas_Callback_Priority | priority,
|  | Evas_Smart_Cb | func,
|  | const void * | data )

Add (register) a callback function to the smart event specified by `event` on the smart object `obj`.

Except for the priority field, it's exactly the same as evas_object_smart_callback_add

Parameters

  obj | a smart object
  event | the event's name string
  priority | The priority of the callback, lower values called first.
  func | the callback function
  data | user data to be passed to the callback function

## evas_object_smart_callback_del()

EVAS_API void * evas_object_smart_callback_del | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | event,
|  | Evas_Smart_Cb | func )

Delete (unregister) a callback function from the smart event specified by `event` on the smart object `obj`.

Parameters

  obj | a smart object
  event | the event's name string
  func | the callback function

Returns
  the data pointer

This function removes the first added smart callback on the object `obj` matching the event name `event` and the registered function pointer `func`. If the removal is successful it will also return the data pointer that was passed to evas_object_smart_callback_add() (that will be the same as the parameter) when the callback(s) was(were) added to the canvas. If not successful `NULL` will be returned.

## evas_object_smart_callback_del_full()

EVAS_API void * evas_object_smart_callback_del_full | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | event,
|  | Evas_Smart_Cb | func,
|  | const void * | data )

Delete (unregister) a callback function from the smart event specified by `event` on the smart object `obj`.

Parameters

  obj | a smart object
  event | the event's name string
  func | the callback function
  data | the data pointer that was passed to the callback

Returns
  the data pointer

This function removes the first added smart callback on the object `obj` matching the event name `event`, the registered function pointer `func` and the callback data pointer `data`. If the removal is successful it will also return the data pointer that was passed to evas_object_smart_callback_add() (that will be the same as the parameter) when the callback(s) was(were) added to the canvas. If not successful `NULL` will be returned. A common use would be to remove an exact match of a callback

See also
  evas_object_smart_callback_add() for more details.

Since
  1.2

Note
  To delete all smart event callbacks which match `type` and `func`, use evas_object_smart_callback_del().

## evas_object_smart_callback_call()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_callback_call | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | event,
|  | void * | event_info )

Call a given smart callback on the smart object `obj`.

Parameters

  obj | the smart object
  event | the event's name string
  event_info | pointer to an event specific struct or information to pass to the callback functions registered on this smart event

This should be called internally, from the smart object's own code, when some specific event has occurred and the implementor wants is to pertain to the object's events API (see Smart events and callbacks). The documentation for the smart object should include a list of possible events and what type of `event_info` to expect for each of them. Also, when defining an Evas_Smart_Class, smart object implementors are strongly encouraged to properly set the Evas_Smart_Class::callbacks callbacks description array, so that the users of the smart object can have introspection on its events API at run time.

## evas_object_smart_interface_get()

EVAS_API const void * evas_object_smart_interface_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | name )

Retrieve an Evas smart object's interface, by name string pointer.

Parameters

  obj | An Evas smart object.
  name | Name string of the desired interface, which must be the same pointer used at the interface's declarion, when creating the smart object obj.

Since
  1.7

Returns
  The interface's handle pointer, if found, `NULL` otherwise.

References evas_object_smart_smart_get(), and _Evas_Smart_Interface::name.

## evas_object_smart_interface_data_get()

EVAS_API void * evas_object_smart_interface_data_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Interface * | iface )

## evas_object_smart_type_check()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_object_smart_type_check | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | type )

Checks whether a given smart object or any of its smart object parents is of a given smart class.

If `obj` is not a smart object, this call will fail immediately.

The checks use smart classes names and string comparison. There is a version of this same check using pointer comparison, since a smart class' name is a single string in Evas.

See also evas_object_smart_type_check_ptr.

Parameters

  [in] | type | The name (type) of the smart class to check for.

References EINA_FALSE, eina_hash_find(), EINA_TRUE, _Evas_Smart_Class::name, and _Evas_Smart_Class::parent.

## evas_object_smart_type_check_ptr()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_object_smart_type_check_ptr | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | type )

Checks whether a given smart object or any of its smart object parents is of a given smart class, using pointer comparison.

Parameters

  [in] | type | The type (name string) to check for. Must be the name.

Returns
  `true` if `obj` or any of its parents is of type `type`, `false` otherwise.

## evas_object_smart_callbacks_descriptions_set()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_object_smart_callbacks_descriptions_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Cb_Description * | descriptions )

Set an smart object instance's smart callbacks descriptions.

These descriptions are hints to be used by introspection and are not enforced in any way.

It will not be checked if instance callbacks descriptions have the same name as respective possibly registered in the smart object class. Both are kept in different arrays and users of evas_object_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get() should handle this case as they wish.

Note
  Because `descriptions` must be `null` terminated, and because a `null` name makes little sense, too, Evas_Smart_Cb_Description.name must not be `null`.
  While instance callbacks descriptions are possible, they are not recommended. Use class callbacks descriptions instead as they make you smart object user's life simpler and will use less memory, as descriptions and arrays will be shared among all instances.

Parameters

  [in] | descriptions | `null` terminated array with Evas_Smart_Cb_Description descriptions. Array elements won't be modified at run time, but references to them and their contents will be made, so this array should be kept alive during the whole object's lifetime.

Returns
  `true` on success, `false` on failure.

References EINA_FALSE, EINA_TRUE, and _Evas_Smart_Cb_Description::name.

## evas_object_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Cb_Description *** | class_descriptions,
|  | unsigned int * | class_count,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Cb_Description *** | instance_descriptions,
|  | unsigned int * | instance_count )

Retrieve an smart object's know smart callback descriptions (both instance and class ones).

This call searches for registered callback descriptions for both instance and class of the given smart object. These arrays will be sorted by Evas_Smart_Cb_Description.name and also `null` terminated, so both class_count and instance_count can be ignored, if the caller wishes so. The terminator `null` is not counted in these values.

Note
  If just class descriptions are of interest, try evas_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get() instead.
  Use `null` pointers on the descriptions/counters you're not interested in: they'll be ignored by the function.

evas_smart_callbacks_descriptions_get().

Parameters

  [out] | class_descriptions | Where to store class callbacks descriptions array, if any is known. If no descriptions are known, `null` is returned.
  [out] | class_count | Returns how many class callbacks descriptions are known.
  [out] | instance_descriptions | Where to store instance callbacks descriptions array, if any is known. If no descriptions are known, `null` is returned.
  [out] | instance_count | Returns how many instance callbacks descriptions are known.

## evas_object_smart_callback_description_find()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_callback_description_find | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | const char * | name,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Cb_Description ** | class_description,
|  | const Evas_Smart_Cb_Description ** | instance_description )

Find callback description for callback called name or `null` if not found.

If parameter is `null`, no search will be done on instance descriptions.

Parameters

  [in] | name | name of desired callback, must not be `null`. The search have a special case for name being the same pointer as registered with Evas_Smart_Cb_Description, one can use it to avoid excessive use of strcmp().
  [out] | class_description | pointer to return class description or `null` if not found. If parameter is `null`, no search will be done on class descriptions.
  [out] | instance_description | pointer to return instance description.

## evas_object_smart_smart_get()

EVAS_API Evas_Smart * evas_object_smart_smart_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Get the Evas_Smart from which `obj` smart object was created.

Returns
  the Evas_Smart handle or `null`, on errors.

Referenced by evas_object_smart_interface_data_get(), and evas_object_smart_interface_get().

## evas_object_smart_data_set()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_data_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | void * | data )

Store a pointer to user data for a given smart object.

This data is stored independently of the one set by evas_object_data_set(), naturally.

See also evas_object_smart_data_get.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object
  [in] | data | A pointer to user data.

References EINA_TRUE.

See also evas_object_smart_data_set.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object

Returns
  A pointer to user data.

## evas_object_smart_clipped_clipper_get()

EVAS_API Evas_Object * evas_object_smart_clipped_clipper_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Get the clipper object for the given clipped smart object.

Use this function if you want to change any of this clipper's properties, like colors.

## evas_object_smart_members_get()

EVAS_API Eina_List * evas_object_smart_members_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Retrieves the list of the member objects of a given Evas smart object.

The returned list should be freed with `eina_list_free()` when you no longer need it.

This function will return `null` when a non-smart object is passed.

See also evas_object_smart_member_add, evas_object_smart_member_del and evas_object_smart_iterator_new.

Returns
  Returns the list of the member objects of `obj`.

Since
  1.7

References eina_list_append(), and _Eina_Inlist::next.

## evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_set()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | Eina_Bool | value )

Set or unset the flag signalling that a given smart object needs to get recalculated.

If this flag is set, then the `calculate()` smart function of `obj` will be called, if one is provided, during rendering phase of Evas (see evas_render()), after which this flag will be automatically unset.

If that smart function is not provided for the given object, this flag will be left unchanged.

Note
  just setting this flag will not make the canvas' whole scene dirty, by itself, and evas_render() will have no effect. To force that, use evas_object_smart_changed(), that will also call this function automatically, with `true` as parameter.

See also evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_get, evas_object_smart_calculate and evas_smart_objects_calculate().

Parameters

  [in] | value | whether one wants to set ($true) or to unset ($false) the flag.

Set or unset the flag signalling that a given smart object needs to get recalculated.

If this flag is set, then the evas_object_smart_calculate function will be called, during rendering phase of the canvas. After that, this flag will be automatically unset.

Note
  setting this flag alone will not make the canvas' whole scene dirty. Using evas_render() will have no effect. To force this, use evas_object_smart_changed, which will also call this function automatically, with the parameter set to `true`.

See also evas_object_smart_calculate.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.
  [in] | value | `true` if the group layout needs to be recalculated, `false` otherwise

## evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_get()

EVAS_API Eina_Bool evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Get the value of the flag signalling that a given smart object needs to get recalculated.

Note
  this flag will be unset during the rendering phase, when the `calculate()` smart function is called, if one is provided. If it's not provided, then the flag will be left unchanged after the rendering phase.

See also evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_set, for more details.

Returns
  whether one wants to set ($true) or to unset ($false) the flag.

Get the value of the flag signalling that a given smart object needs to get recalculated.

If this flag is set, then the evas_object_smart_calculate function will be called, during rendering phase of the canvas. After that, this flag will be automatically unset.

Note
  setting this flag alone will not make the canvas' whole scene dirty. Using evas_render() will have no effect. To force this, use evas_object_smart_changed, which will also call this function automatically, with the parameter set to `true`.

See also evas_object_smart_calculate.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

Returns
  `true` if the group layout needs to be recalculated, `false` otherwise

This will force immediate calculations (see Evas_Smart_Class) needed for renderization of this object and, besides, unset the flag on it telling it needs recalculation for the next rendering phase.

See also evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_set

Call the calculate() smart function immediately on a given smart object.

This will also reset the flag evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_get.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

## evas_object_smart_changed()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_changed | ( | Evas_Object * | obj | ) |

Mark smart object as changed, dirty.

This will flag the given object as needing recalculation, forcefully. As an effect, on the next rendering cycle its calculate() (see Evas_Smart_Class) smart function will be called.

See also evas_object_smart_need_recalculate_set and evas_object_smart_calculate.

Mark smart object as changed, dirty.

This also forcefully marks the given object as needing recalculation. As an effect, on the next rendering cycle its evas_object_smart_calculate method will be called.

Parameters

  [in] | obj | The object.

## evas_object_smart_move_children_relative()

EVAS_API void evas_object_smart_move_children_relative | ( | Evas_Object * | obj,
|  | Evas_Coord | dx,
|  | Evas_Coord | dy )

Moves all children objects of a given smart object relative to a given offset.

This will make each of `obj` object's children to move, from where they before, with those delta values (offsets) on both directions.

Note
  This is most useful on custom smart `move` functions.
  Clipped smart objects already make use of this function on their `move` smart function definition.

Parameters

  [in] | dx | Horizontal offset (delta).
  [in] | dy | Vertical offset (delta).
