💖 Gtk2::TargetList — ok bestie, let's talk drag-and-drop 💖

So <pink>Gtk2::TargetList</pink> is literally just a wrapper for GtkTargetList in the Gtk2 Perl bindings, and it lives in the Gtk2::TargetList(3) manpage, which is what you're reading rn. It's the whole vibe of "what kinds of data can this widget even accept" — the guest list for your drag-and-drop party 🎀

🦋 HIERARCHY 🦋

This is where it sits in the family tree, and yes it's giving nepo baby:

Glib::Boxed
+----Gtk2::TargetList

✨ METHODS ✨

🌸 targetlist = Gtk2::TargetList->new (...)

Build a whole new target list from scratch, queen 👑

  • ... — a (list) of Gtk2::TargetEntry's. That's it, that's the whole guest list.

🌈 $list->add ($target, $flags, $info)

Add one single target to the list. One in, one out, no drama 💅

  • $target — a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom
  • $flags — an integer
  • $info — an integer

🎀 $list->add_image_targets ($info, $writable)

Adds all the image targets in one go, so you don't have to list them yourself. Iconic behaviour honestly ✨

  • $info — an integer
  • $writable — a boolean
Since: gtk+ 2.6 — so if you're on something ancient, this one's not gonna show up for you 😭

🧚 $list->add_rich_text_targets ($info, $deserializable, $buffer)

Rich text targets, added as a bundle. Very fancy, very demure 🫶

  • $info — an integer
  • $deserializable — a boolean
  • $buffer — a Gtk2::TextBuffer
Since: gtk+ 2.10 — newer than the image one, just so you know 🌸

👑 $list->add_table (...)

Add a whole table of entries at once, because doing it one by one is not the move.

  • ... — a (list) of Gtk2::TargetEntry's

⭐ $list->add_text_targets ($info)

All the text targets, boom, done, no cap.

  • $info — an integer
Since: gtk+ 2.6

🔥 $list->add_uri_targets ($info)

URIs get their own little bundle too. Slay.

  • $info — an integer
Since: gtk+ 2.6

💜 integer = $list->find ($target)

Look up a target in the list and get back an integer. It's giving detective energy 🔍

  • $target — a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom

🙈 $list->remove ($target)

Bye bye target, we hardly knew ye. Removes it from the list 💀

  • $target — a Gtk2::Gdk::Atom
