Detailed Description
toplevel surface
This interface defines an xdg_surface role which allows a surface to, among other things, set window-like
properties such as maximize, fullscreen, and minimize, set application-specific metadata like title and
id, and well as trigger user interactive operations such as interactive resize and move.
Unmapping an xdg_toplevel means that the surface cannot be shown by the compositor until it is explicitly
mapped again. All active operations (e.g., move, resize) are canceled and all attributes (e.g. title,
state, stacking, ...) are discarded for an xdg_toplevel surface when it is unmapped. The xdg_toplevel
returns to the state it had right after xdg_surface.get_toplevel. The client can re-map the toplevel by
perfoming a commit without any buffer attached, waiting for a configure event and handling it as usual
(see xdg_surface description).
Attaching a null buffer to a toplevel unmaps the surface.

egl.cpp, and shm.cpp.

Member Enumeration Documentation
enum class wayland::proxy_t::wrapper_type [strong], [inherited]
Underlying wl_proxy type and properties of a proxy_t that affect construction, destruction, and event
handling
Enumerator
standard
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*. Events are dispatched and it is destructed
when the proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
display
C pointer is a wl_display*. No events are dispatched, wl_display_disconnect is called when the
proxy_t is destructed. User data is set.
foreign
C pointer is a standard type compatible with wl_proxy*, but another library owns it and it should
not be touched in a way that could affect the operation of the other library. No events are
dispatched, wl_proxy_destroy is not called when the proxy_t is destructed, user data is not
touched. Consequently, there is no reference counting for the proxy_t. Lifetime of such wrappers
should preferably be short to minimize the chance that the owning library decides to destroy the
wl_proxy.
proxy_wrapper
C pointer is a wl_proxy* that was constructed with wl_proxy_create_wrapper. No events are
dispatched, wl_proxy_wrapper_destroy is called when the proxy_t is destroyed. Reference counting
is active. A reference to the proxy_t creating this proxy wrapper is held to extend its lifetime
until after the proxy wrapper is destroyed.
Definition at line 116 of file wayland-client.hpp.
Member Function Documentation
wl_proxy * wayland::proxy_t::c_ptr () const [inherited]
Get a pointer to the underlying C struct.
Returns
The underlying wl_proxy wrapped by this proxy_t if it exists, otherwise an exception is thrown
std::string wayland::proxy_t::get_class () const [inherited]
Get the interface name (class) of a proxy object.
Returns
The interface name of the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_id () const [inherited]
Get the id of a proxy object.
Returns
The id the object associated with the proxy
uint32_t wayland::proxy_t::get_version () const [inherited]
Get the protocol object version of a proxy object. Gets the protocol object version of a proxy object, or
0 if the proxy was created with unversioned API.
A returned value of 0 means that no version information is available, so the caller must make safe
assumptions about the object's real version.
display_t will always return version 0.
Returns
The protocol object version of the proxy or 0
wrapper_type wayland::proxy_t::get_wrapper_type () const [inline], [inherited]
Get the type of a proxy object.

void xdg_toplevel_t::move (seat_t const & seat, uint32_t serial)
start an interactive move
Parameters
seat the wl_seat of the user event
serial the serial of the user event
Start an interactive, user-driven move of the surface.
This request must be used in response to some sort of user action like a button press, key press, or
touch down event. The passed serial is used to determine the type of interactive move (touch, pointer,
etc).
The server may ignore move requests depending on the state of the surface (e.g. fullscreen or maximized),
or if the passed serial is no longer valid.
If triggered, the surface will lose the focus of the device (wl_pointer, wl_touch, etc) used for the
move. It is up to the compositor to visually indicate that the move is taking place, such as updating a
pointer cursor, during the move. There is no guarantee that the device focus will return when the move is
completed.
Examples
egl.cpp, and shm.cpp.
Definition at line 1360 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
std::function< void()> & xdg_toplevel_t::on_close ()
surface wants to be closed The close event is sent by the compositor when the user wants the surface to
be closed. This should be equivalent to the user clicking the close button in client-side decorations, if
your application has any.
This is only a request that the user intends to close the window. The client may choose to ignore this
request, or show a dialog to ask the user to save their data, etc.
Examples
egl.cpp, and shm.cpp.
Definition at line 1419 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
std::function< void(int32_t, int32_t, array_t)> & xdg_toplevel_t::on_configure ()
suggest a surface change
Parameters
width
height
states
This configure event asks the client to resize its toplevel surface or to change its state. The
configured state should not be applied immediately. See xdg_surface.configure for details.
The width and height arguments specify a hint to the window about how its surface should be resized in
window geometry coordinates. See set_window_geometry.
If the width or height arguments are zero, it means the client should decide its own window dimension.
This may happen when the compositor needs to configure the state of the surface but doesn't have any
information about any previous or expected dimension.
The states listed in the event specify how the width/height arguments should be interpreted, and possibly
how it should be drawn.
Clients must send an ack_configure in response to this event. See xdg_surface.configure and
xdg_surface.ack_configure for details.
Definition at line 1414 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
std::function< void(int32_t, int32_t)> & xdg_toplevel_t::on_configure_bounds ()
recommended window geometry bounds
Parameters
width
height
The configure_bounds event may be sent prior to a xdg_toplevel.configure event to communicate the bounds
a window geometry size is recommended to constrain to.
The passed width and height are in surface coordinate space. If width and height are 0, it means bounds
is unknown and equivalent to as if no configure_bounds event was ever sent for this surface.
The bounds can for example correspond to the size of a monitor excluding any panels or other shell
components, so that a surface isn't created in a way that it cannot fit.
The bounds may change at any point, and in such a case, a new xdg_toplevel.configure_bounds will be sent,
followed by xdg_toplevel.configure and xdg_surface.configure.
Definition at line 1424 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
wayland::proxy_t::operator bool () const [inherited]
Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.
Returns
true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty
bool wayland::proxy_t::operator!= (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]
Check whether two wrappers refer to different objects.
bool wayland::proxy_t::operator== (const proxy_t & right) const [inherited]
Check whether two wrappers refer to the same object.
bool wayland::proxy_t::proxy_has_object () const [inherited]
Check whether this wrapper actually wraps an object.
Returns
true if there is an underlying object, false if this wrapper is empty
void wayland::proxy_t::proxy_release () [inherited]
Release the wrapped object (if any), making this an empty wrapper. Note that display_t instances cannot
be released this way. Attempts to do so are ignored.
Examples
foreign_display.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::resize (seat_t const & seat, uint32_t serial, xdg_toplevel_resize_edge const & edges)
start an interactive resize
Parameters
seat the wl_seat of the user event
serial the serial of the user event
edges which edge or corner is being dragged
Start a user-driven, interactive resize of the surface.
This request must be used in response to some sort of user action like a button press, key press, or
touch down event. The passed serial is used to determine the type of interactive resize (touch, pointer,
etc).
The server may ignore resize requests depending on the state of the surface (e.g. fullscreen or
maximized).
If triggered, the client will receive configure events with the 'resize' state enum value and the
expected sizes. See the 'resize' enum value for more details about what is required. The client must also
acknowledge configure events using 'ack_configure'. After the resize is completed, the client will
receive another 'configure' event without the resize state.
If triggered, the surface also will lose the focus of the device (wl_pointer, wl_touch, etc) used for the
resize. It is up to the compositor to visually indicate that the resize is taking place, such as updating
a pointer cursor, during the resize. There is no guarantee that the device focus will return when the
resize is completed.
The edges parameter specifies how the surface should be resized, and is one of the values of the
resize_edge enum. Values not matching a variant of the enum will cause a protocol error. The compositor
may use this information to update the surface position for example when dragging the top left corner.
The compositor may also use this information to adapt its behavior, e.g. choose an appropriate cursor
image.

void xdg_toplevel_t::set_app_id (std::string const & app_id)
set application ID
Parameters
app_id
Set an application identifier for the surface.
The app ID identifies the general class of applications to which the surface belongs. The compositor can
use this to group multiple surfaces together, or to determine how to launch a new application.
For D-Bus activatable applications, the app ID is used as the D-Bus service name.
The compositor shell will try to group application surfaces together by their app ID. As a best practice,
it is suggested to select app ID's that match the basename of the application's .desktop file. For
example, 'org.freedesktop.FooViewer' where the .desktop file is 'org.freedesktop.FooViewer.desktop'.
Like other properties, a set_app_id request can be sent after the xdg_toplevel has been mapped to update
the property.
See the desktop-entry specification [0] for more details on application identifiers and how they relate
to well-known D-Bus names and .desktop files.

void xdg_toplevel_t::set_fullscreen (output_t const & output)
set the window as fullscreen on an output
Parameters
output
Make the surface fullscreen.
After requesting that the surface should be fullscreened, the compositor will respond by emitting a
configure event. Whether the client is actually put into a fullscreen state is subject to compositor
policies. The client must also acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see
ack_configure).
The output passed by the request indicates the client's preference as to which display it should be set
fullscreen on. If this value is NULL, it's up to the compositor to choose which display will be used to
map this surface.
If the surface doesn't cover the whole output, the compositor will position the surface in the center of
the output and compensate with with border fill covering the rest of the output. The content of the
border fill is undefined, but should be assumed to be in some way that attempts to blend into the
surrounding area (e.g. solid black).
If the fullscreened surface is not opaque, the compositor must make sure that other screen content not
part of the same surface tree (made up of subsurfaces, popups or similarly coupled surfaces) are not
visible below the fullscreened surface.
Definition at line 1396 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::set_max_size (int32_t width, int32_t height)
set the maximum size
Parameters
width
height
Set a maximum size for the window.
The client can specify a maximum size so that the compositor does not try to configure the window beyond
this size.
The width and height arguments are in window geometry coordinates. See xdg_surface.set_window_geometry.
Values set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on the next commit.
The compositor can use this information to allow or disallow different states like maximize or fullscreen
and draw accurate animations.
Similarly, a tiling window manager may use this information to place and resize client windows in a more
effective way.
The client should not rely on the compositor to obey the maximum size. The compositor may decide to
ignore the values set by the client and request a larger size.
If never set, or a value of zero in the request, means that the client has no expected maximum size in
the given dimension. As a result, a client wishing to reset the maximum size to an unspecified state can
use zero for width and height in the request.
Requesting a maximum size to be smaller than the minimum size of a surface is illegal and will result in
a protocol error.
The width and height must be greater than or equal to zero. Using strictly negative values for width and
height will result in a protocol error.
Definition at line 1372 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::set_maximized ()
maximize the window Maximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be maximized, the compositor will respond by emitting a
configure event. Whether this configure actually sets the window maximized is subject to compositor
policies. The client must then update its content, drawing in the configured state. The client must also
acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to decide how and where to maximize the surface, for example which output and
what region of the screen should be used.
If the surface was already maximized, the compositor will still emit a configure event with the
'maximized' state.
If the surface is in a fullscreen state, this request has no direct effect. It may alter the state the
surface is returned to when unmaximized unless overridden by the compositor.
Definition at line 1384 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::set_min_size (int32_t width, int32_t height)
set the minimum size
Parameters
width
height
Set a minimum size for the window.
The client can specify a minimum size so that the compositor does not try to configure the window below
this size.
The width and height arguments are in window geometry coordinates. See xdg_surface.set_window_geometry.
Values set in this way are double-buffered. They will get applied on the next commit.
The compositor can use this information to allow or disallow different states like maximize or fullscreen
and draw accurate animations.
Similarly, a tiling window manager may use this information to place and resize client windows in a more
effective way.
The client should not rely on the compositor to obey the minimum size. The compositor may decide to
ignore the values set by the client and request a smaller size.
If never set, or a value of zero in the request, means that the client has no expected minimum size in
the given dimension. As a result, a client wishing to reset the minimum size to an unspecified state can
use zero for width and height in the request.
Requesting a minimum size to be larger than the maximum size of a surface is illegal and will result in a
protocol error.
The width and height must be greater than or equal to zero. Using strictly negative values for width and
height will result in a protocol error.

void xdg_toplevel_t::set_minimized ()
set the window as minimized Request that the compositor minimize your surface. There is no way to know if
the surface is currently minimized, nor is there any way to unset minimization on this surface.
If you are looking to throttle redrawing when minimized, please instead use the wl_surface.frame event
for this, as this will also work with live previews on windows in Alt-Tab, Expose or similar compositor
features.
Definition at line 1408 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::set_parent (xdg_toplevel_t const & parent)
set the parent of this surface
Parameters
parent
Set the 'parent' of this surface. This surface should be stacked above the parent surface and all other
ancestor surfaces.
Parent windows should be set on dialogs, toolboxes, or other 'auxiliary' surfaces, so that the parent is
raised when the dialog is raised.
Setting a null parent for a child window removes any parent-child relationship for the child. Setting a
null parent for a window which currently has no parent is a no-op.
If the parent is unmapped then its children are managed as though the parent of the now-unmapped parent
has become the parent of this surface. If no parent exists for the now-unmapped parent then the children
are managed as though they have no parent surface.
Definition at line 1336 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void wayland::proxy_t::set_queue (event_queue_t queue) [inherited]
Assign a proxy to an event queue.
Parameters
queue The event queue that will handle this proxy
Assign proxy to event queue. Events coming from proxy will be queued in queue instead of the display's
main queue.
See also: display_t::dispatch_queue().
Examples
proxy_wrapper.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::set_title (std::string const & title)
set surface title
Parameters
title
Set a short title for the surface.
This string may be used to identify the surface in a task bar, window list, or other user interface
elements provided by the compositor.
The string must be encoded in UTF-8.
Examples
egl.cpp, and shm.cpp.
Definition at line 1342 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::show_window_menu (seat_t const & seat, uint32_t serial, int32_t x, int32_t y)
show the window menu
Parameters
seat the wl_seat of the user event
serial the serial of the user event
x the x position to pop up the window menu at
y the y position to pop up the window menu at
Clients implementing client-side decorations might want to show a context menu when right-clicking on the
decorations, giving the user a menu that they can use to maximize or minimize the window.
This request asks the compositor to pop up such a window menu at the given position, relative to the
local surface coordinates of the parent surface. There are no guarantees as to what menu items the window
menu contains.
This request must be used in response to some sort of user action like a button press, key press, or
touch down event.
Definition at line 1354 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::unset_fullscreen ()
unset the window as fullscreen Make the surface no longer fullscreen.
After requesting that the surface should be unfullscreened, the compositor will respond by emitting a
configure event. Whether this actually removes the fullscreen state of the client is subject to
compositor policies.
Making a surface unfullscreen sets states for the surface based on the following: the state(s) it may
have had before becoming fullscreen any state(s) decided by the compositor any state(s) requested by the
client while the surface was fullscreen
The compositor may include the previous window geometry dimensions in the configure event, if applicable.
The client must also acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see ack_configure).
Definition at line 1402 of file wayland-client-protocol-extra.cpp.
void xdg_toplevel_t::unset_maximized ()
unmaximize the window Unmaximize the surface.
After requesting that the surface should be unmaximized, the compositor will respond by emitting a
configure event. Whether this actually un-maximizes the window is subject to compositor policies. If
available and applicable, the compositor will include the window geometry dimensions the window had prior
to being maximized in the configure event. The client must then update its content, drawing it in the
configured state. The client must also acknowledge the configure when committing the new content (see
ack_configure).
It is up to the compositor to position the surface after it was unmaximized; usually the position the
surface had before maximizing, if applicable.
If the surface was already not maximized, the compositor will still emit a configure event without the
'maximized' state.
If the surface is in a fullscreen state, this request has no direct effect. It may alter the state the
surface is returned to when unmaximized unless overridden by the compositor.
