cdk_display_sync ()

void
cdk_display_sync (CdkDisplay *display);

Flushes any requests queued for the windowing system and waits until all requests have been handled. This is often used for making sure that the display is synchronized with the current state of the program. Calling cdk_display_sync() before cdk_error_trap_pop() makes sure that any errors generated from earlier requests are handled before the error trap is removed.

This is most useful for X11. On windowing systems where requests are handled synchronously, this function will do nothing.

Since: 2.2

cdk_display_flush ()

void
cdk_display_flush (CdkDisplay *display);

Flushes any requests queued for the windowing system; this happens automatically when the main loop blocks waiting for new events, but if your application is drawing without returning control to the main loop, you may need to call this function explicitly. A common case where this function needs to be called is when an application is executing drawing commands from a thread other than the thread where the main loop is running.

This is most useful for X11. On windowing systems where requests are handled synchronously, this function will do nothing.

Since: 2.4

cdk_display_peek_event (CdkDisplay *display);

Gets a copy of the first CdkEvent in the display ’s event queue, without removing the event from the queue. (Note that this function will not get more events from the windowing system. It only checks the events that have already been moved to the CDK event queue.)

void
cdk_display_warp_pointer (CdkDisplay *display,
                          CdkScreen *screen,
                          gint x,
                          gint y);

Warps the pointer of display to the point x ,y on the screen screen , unless the pointer is confined to a window by a grab, in which case it will be moved as far as allowed by the grab. Warping the pointer creates events as if the user had moved the mouse instantaneously to the destination.
