e_shell_window_new ()

GtkWidget *
e_shell_window_new (EShell *shell,
                    gboolean safe_mode,
                    const gchar *geometry);

Returns a new EShellWindow.

It's up to the various EShellView's to define exactly what "safe mode" means, but the EShell usually puts the initial EShellWindow into "safe mode" if detects the previous Evolution session crashed.

The initial view for the window is determined by GSettings key /org/gnome/evolution/shell/default-component-id. Or, if the GSettings key is not set or can't be read, the first view in the switcher is used.

e_shell_window_get_shell ()

EShell *
e_shell_window_get_shell (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns the EShell that was passed to e_shell_window_new().

e_shell_window_is_main_instance ()

gboolean
e_shell_window_is_main_instance (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns, whether the shell_window is the main instance, which is the window which was created as the first shell_window .

e_shell_window_get_shell_view ()

struct _EShellView *
e_shell_window_get_shell_view (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                               const gchar *view_name);

Returns the EShellView named view_name (see the name field in EShellBackendInfo). This will also instantiate the EShellView the first time it's requested. To reduce resource consumption, Evolution tries to delay instantiating shell views until the user switches to them. So in general, only the active view name, as returned by e_shell_window_get_active_view(), should be requested.

The function emits an “shell-view-created” signal with view_name as the signal detail when it instantiates an EShellView.

e_shell_window_peek_shell_view ()

struct _EShellView *
e_shell_window_peek_shell_view (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                const gchar *view_name);

Returns the EShellView named view_name (see the name field in EShellBackendInfo), or NULL if the requested view has not yet been instantiated. Unlike e_shell_window_get_shell_view(), this function will not instantiate the view itself.

e_shell_window_get_shell_view_action ()

EUIAction *
e_shell_window_get_shell_view_action (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                      const gchar *view_name);

Returns the switcher action for view_name .

An EShellWindow creates an EUIAction for each registered subclass of EShellView. This action gets passed to the EShellSwitcher, which displays a button that proxies the action. When the EShellView named view_name is active, the action's icon becomes the shell_window icon.

e_shell_window_get_alert_bar ()

GtkWidget *
e_shell_window_get_alert_bar (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns the EAlertBar used to display informational and error messages.

e_shell_window_get_focus_tracker ()

EFocusTracker *
e_shell_window_get_focus_tracker (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns shell_window 's focus tracker, which directs Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All main menu activations to the appropriate editable or selectable widget.

e_shell_window_get_ui_action ()

EUIAction *
e_shell_window_get_ui_action (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                              const gchar *action_name);

Returns the EUIAction named action_name provided by the shell_window itself, or NULL if no such action exists.

Since: 3.56

e_shell_window_get_ui_action_group ()

EUIActionGroup *
e_shell_window_get_ui_action_group (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                    const gchar *group_name);

Returns the EUIActionGroup named group_name provided by the shell_window itself, or NULL if no such action group exists.

Since: 3.56

e_shell_window_get_active_view ()

const gchar *
e_shell_window_get_active_view (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns the name of the active EShellView.

e_shell_window_set_active_view ()

void
e_shell_window_set_active_view (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                const gchar *view_name);

Switches shell_window to the EShellView named view_name , causing the entire content of shell_window to change. This is typically called as a result of the user clicking one of the switcher buttons.

The name of the newly activated shell view is also written to GSettings key /org/gnome/evolution/shell/default-component-id. This makes the active shell view persistent across Evolution sessions. It also causes new shell windows created within the current Evolution session to open to the most recently selected shell view.

e_shell_window_get_safe_mode ()

gboolean
e_shell_window_get_safe_mode (EShellWindow *shell_window);

Returns TRUE if shell_window is in "safe mode".

It's up to the various EShellView's to define exactly what "safe mode" means. The shell_window simply manages the "safe mode" state.

e_shell_window_set_safe_mode ()

void
e_shell_window_set_safe_mode (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                              gboolean safe_mode);

If TRUE, puts shell_window into "safe mode".

It's up to the various EShellView's to define exactly what "safe mode" means. The shell_window simply manages the "safe mode" state.

e_shell_window_add_action_group ()

void
e_shell_window_add_action_group (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                 const gchar *group_name);

EShellWindowConnetClientFunc ()

void
(*EShellWindowConnetClientFunc) (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                 EClient *client,
                                 gpointer user_data);

e_shell_window_connect_client ()

void
e_shell_window_connect_client (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                               ESource *source,
                               const gchar *extension_name,
                               EShellWindowConnetClientFunc connected_cb,
                               gpointer user_data,
                               GDestroyNotify destroy_user_data);

Get's an EClient from shell's EClientCache in a dedicated thread, thus the operation doesn't block UI. The connected_cb is called in the main thread, but only when the operation succeeded. Any failure is propageted to UI.

e_shell_window_register_new_item_actions ()

void
e_shell_window_register_new_item_actions
                               (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                const gchar *backend_name,
                                const EUIActionEntry *entries,
                                guint n_entries);

Registers a list of EUIActions to appear in shell_window 's "New" menu and toolbar button. This function should be called from an EShell's “window-added” signal handler. The EShellBackend calling this function should pass its own name for the backend_name argument (i.e. the name field from its own EShellBackendInfo).

The registered EUIActions should be for creating individual items such as an email message or a calendar appointment. The action labels should be marked for translation with the "New" context using the NC_() macro.

e_shell_window_register_new_source_actions ()

void
e_shell_window_register_new_source_actions
                               (EShellWindow *shell_window,
                                const gchar *backend_name,
                                const EUIActionEntry *entries,
                                guint n_entries);

Registers a list of EUIActions to appear in shell_window 's "New" menu and toolbar button. This function should be called from an EShell's “window-added” signal handler. The EShellBackend calling this function should pass its own name for the backend_name argument (i.e. the name field from its own EShellBackendInfo).

The registered EUIActions should be for creating item containers such as an email folder or a calendar. The action labels should be marked for translation with the "New" context using the NC_() macro.
