💖 Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Selection 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation for Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Selection, part of the Gtk2 Perl bindings. it's a lil' event class and honestly? she's giving clipboard-adjacent main character energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Selection — the selection event, aka the "hey bestie, something happened with a selection" event 💅

---

🌸 HIERARCHY 🌸

Gtk2::Gdk::Event
+----Gtk2::Gdk::Event::Selection

so she inherits from Gtk2::Gdk::Event — that's her parent, that's her ancestry, that's the family tree. iconic lineage fr fr 👑

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

each of these takes an optional $newvalue that defaults to 0, and gives you back the thing. classic getter-with-optional-setter vibe, we love her for it.

• atom = $eventselection->property ($newvalue=0) — grabs you the property as a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom 🦋
  • $newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::Atom) — optional, defaults to 0
• nativewindow = $eventselection->requestor ($newvalue=0) — hands you the requestor, and its type is Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow ✨
  • $newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::NativeWindow) — optional, defaults to 0
• atom = $eventselection->selection ($newvalue=0) — returns the selection as a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom 💖
  • $newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::Atom) — optional, defaults to 0
• atom = $eventselection->target ($newvalue=0) — gives you the target, also a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom 🎯
  • $newvalue (Gtk2::Gdk::Atom) — optional, defaults to 0

ngl bestie, three of the four return an atom and one returns a native window — keep track of which is which and you're golden 🧚
