  26  * Plugin Signals

  28  *
  29  * @section Usage
  30  *
  31  * To use plugin signals in Geany, you have two options:
  32  *
  33  * -# Create a PluginCallback array with the @ref plugin_callbacks symbol. List the signals
  34  *    you want to listen to and create the appropriate signal callbacks for each signal.
  35  *    The callback array is read @a after plugin_init() has been called.
  36  * -# Use plugin_signal_connect(), which can be called at any time and can also connect
  37  *    to non-Geany signals (such as GTK widget signals).
  38  *
  39  * This page lists the signal prototypes, but you connect to them using the
  40  * string name (which by convention uses @c - hyphens instead of @c _ underscores).
  41  *
  42  * E.g. @c "document-open" for @ref document_open.
  43  *
  44  * The following code demonstrates how to use signals in Geany plugins. The code can be inserted
  45  * in your plugin code at any desired position.
  46  *
  47  * @code
  48 static void on_document_open(GObject *obj, GeanyDocument *doc, gpointer user_data)
  49 {
  50         printf("Example: %s was opened\n", DOC_FILENAME(doc));
  51 }
  52
  53 PluginCallback plugin_callbacks[] =
  54 {
  55         { "document-open", (GCallback) &on_document_open, FALSE, NULL },
  56         { NULL, NULL, FALSE, NULL }
  57 };
  58  * @endcode
  59  * @note The PluginCallback array has to be ended with a final @c NULL entry.

 231  * http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html#Notifications.
 232  *
 233  * If you connect to this signal, you must check @c nt->nmhdr.code for the notification type
 234  * to prevent handling unwanted notifications. This is important because for instance SCN_UPDATEUI
 235  * is sent very often whereas you probably don't want to handle this notification.
 236  *
 237  * By default, the signal is sent before Geany's default handler is processing the event.
 238  * Your callback function should return FALSE to allow Geany processing the event as well. If you
 239  * want to prevent this for some reason, return TRUE.
 240  * Please use this with care as it can break basic functionality of Geany.
 241  *
 242  * The signal can be sent after Geany's default handler has been run when you set
 243  * PluginCallback::after field to TRUE.
 244  *
 245  * An example callback implemention of this signal can be found in the Demo plugin.
 246  *
 247  * @warning This signal has much power and should be used carefully. You should especially
 248  *          care about the return value; make sure to return TRUE only if it is necessary
 249  *          and in the correct situations.
