pick


Description:

public unowned Widget? pick (double x, double y, PickFlags flags)

Finds the descendant of this closest to the point (x, y).

The point must be given in widget coordinates, so (0, 0) is assumed to be the top left of this's content area.

Usually widgets will return null if the given coordinate is not contained in this checked via [method@Gtk.Widget.contains]. Otherwise they will recursively try to find a child that does not return null. Widgets are however free to customize their picking algorithm.

This function is used on the toplevel to determine the widget below the mouse cursor for purposes of hover highlighting and delivering events.

Parameters:

this

the widget to query

x

X coordinate to test, relative to this's origin

y

Y coordinate to test, relative to this's origin

flags

Flags to influence what is picked

Returns:

The widget descendant at the given point
