22 * SECTION:gbinding
23 * @Title: GBinding
24 * @Short_Description: Bind two object properties
26 * #GBinding is the representation of a binding between a property on a
27 * #GObject instance (or source) and another property on another #GObject
28 * instance (or target). Whenever the source property changes, the same
29 * value is applied to the target property; for instance, the following
30 * binding:
32 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
33 * g_object_bind_property (object1, "property-a",
34 * object2, "property-b",
35 * G_BINDING_DEFAULT);
36 * ]|
38 * will cause the property named "property-b" of @object2 to be updated
39 * every time g_object_set() or the specific accessor changes the value of
40 * the property "property-a" of @object1.
42 * It is possible to create a bidirectional binding between two properties
43 * of two #GObject instances, so that if either property changes, the
44 * other is updated as well, for instance:
46 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
47 * g_object_bind_property (object1, "property-a",
48 * object2, "property-b",
49 * G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL);
50 * ]|
52 * will keep the two properties in sync.
54 * It is also possible to set a custom transformation function (in both
55 * directions, in case of a bidirectional binding) to apply a custom
56 * transformation from the source value to the target value before
57 * applying it; for instance, the following binding:
59 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
60 * g_object_bind_property_full (adjustment1, "value",
61 * adjustment2, "value",
62 * G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL,
63 * celsius_to_fahrenheit,
64 * fahrenheit_to_celsius,
65 * NULL, NULL);
66 * ]|
68 * will keep the "value" property of the two adjustments in sync; the
69 * @celsius_to_fahrenheit function will be called whenever the "value"
70 * property of @adjustment1 changes and will transform the current value
71 * of the property before applying it to the "value" property of @adjustment2.
73 * Vice versa, the @fahrenheit_to_celsius function will be called whenever
74 * the "value" property of @adjustment2 changes, and will transform the
75 * current value of the property before applying it to the "value" property
76 * of @adjustment1.
78 * Note that #GBinding does not resolve cycles by itself; a cycle like
80 * |[
81 * object1:propertyA -> object2:propertyB
82 * object2:propertyB -> object3:propertyC
83 * object3:propertyC -> object1:propertyA
84 * ]|
86 * might lead to an infinite loop. The loop, in this particular case,
87 * can be avoided if the objects emit the #GObject::notify signal only
88 * if the value has effectively been changed. A binding is implemented
89 * using the #GObject::notify signal, so it is susceptible to all the
90 * various ways of blocking a signal emission, like g_signal_stop_emission()
91 * or g_signal_handler_block().
93 * A binding will be severed, and the resources it allocates freed, whenever
94 * either one of the #GObject instances it refers to are finalized, or when
95 * the #GBinding instance loses its last reference.
97 * Bindings for languages with garbage collection can use
98 * g_binding_unbind() to explicitly release a binding between the source
99 * and target properties, instead of relying on the last reference on the
100 * binding, source, and target instances to drop.
102 * #GBinding is available since GObject 2.26
