Description

The Spice protocol defines a set of messages for controlling cursor shape and position on the remote display area. The cursor changes that should be reflected on the display are notified by signals. See for example “cursor-set” and “cursor-move” signals and the “cursor” property.

Functions

Types and Values

struct SpiceCursorChannel

struct SpiceCursorChannel;

The SpiceCursorChannel struct is opaque and should not be accessed directly.


struct SpiceCursorChannelClass

struct SpiceCursorChannelClass {
    SpiceChannelClass parent_class;

    /* signals */
    void (*cursor_set)(SpiceCursorChannel *channel, gint width, gint height,
                       gint hot_x, gint hot_y, gpointer rgba);
    void (*cursor_move)(SpiceCursorChannel *channel, gint x, gint y);
    void (*cursor_hide)(SpiceCursorChannel *channel);
    void (*cursor_reset)(SpiceCursorChannel *channel);
};

Class structure for SpiceCursorChannel.

Members

cursor_set ()

Signal class handler for the “cursor-set” signal.

 

cursor_move ()

Signal class handler for the “cursor-move” signal.

struct SpiceCursorShape

struct SpiceCursorShape {
    SpiceCursorType type;
    guint16 width;
    guint16 height;
    guint16 hot_spot_x;
    guint16 hot_spot_y;

};

The SpiceCursorShape structure defines the remote cursor's shape.

Members

SpiceCursorType type;

a SpiceCursorType of data

 

guint16 width;

a width of the remote cursor

 

guint16 height;

a height of the remote cursor

 

guint16 hot_spot_x;

a 'x' coordinate of the remote cursor

 

guint16 hot_spot_y;

a 'y' coordinate of the remote cursor

 

gpointer data;

image data of the remote cursor

 

Property Details

The “cursor” property

  “cursor”                   SpiceCursorShape *

The last SpiceCursorShape received.

Owner: SpiceCursorChannel

Flags: Read

Since: 0.34

Signal Details

The “cursor-hide” signal

void
user_function (SpiceCursorChannel *cursor,
               gpointer            user_data)

The “cursor-hide” signal is emitted to hide the cursor/pointer on the display area.

Parameters

cursor

the SpiceCursorChannel that emitted the signal

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First


The “cursor-move” signal

void
user_function (SpiceCursorChannel *cursor,
               int                 x,
               int                 y,
               gpointer            user_data)

The “cursor-move” signal is emitted to update the cursor position on the display area.

Parameters

cursor

the SpiceCursorChannel that emitted the signal

 

x

x position

 

y

y position

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First


The “cursor-reset” signal

void
user_function (SpiceCursorChannel *cursor,
               gpointer            user_data)

The “cursor-reset” signal is emitted to reset the cursor to its default context.

Parameters

cursor

the SpiceCursorChannel that emitted the signal

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First


The “cursor-set” signal

void
user_function (SpiceCursorChannel *cursor,
               int                 width,
               int                 height,
               int                 hot_x,
               int                 hot_y,
               gpointer            rgba,
               gpointer            user_data)

The “cursor-set” signal is emitted to modify cursor aspect and position on the display area.

SpiceCursorChannel::cursor-set has been deprecated since version 0.34 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use “cursor” notify instead.

Parameters

cursor

the SpiceCursorChannel that emitted the signal

 

width

width of the shape

 

height

height of the shape

 

hot_x

horizontal offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor

 

hot_y

vertical offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor

 

rgba

32bits shape data, or NULL if default cursor. It might be freed after the signal is emitted, so make sure to copy it if you need it later!

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First
