## Public Member Functions

virtual | ~AppLaunchContext ()
GAppLaunchContext* | gobj ()
| Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
const GAppLaunchContext* | gobj () const
| Provides access to the underlying C GObject.
GAppLaunchContext* | gobj_copy ()
| Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.
std::string | get_display (const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& info, const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& files)
| Gets the display string for the context.
std::string | get_startup_notify_id (const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& info, const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& files)
| Initiates startup notification for the application and returns the <envar>DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID</envar> for the launched operation, if supported.
void | launch_failed (const std::string& startup_notify_id)
| Called when an application has failed to launch, so that it can cancel the application startup notification started in g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id().

std::string Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_display | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& | info,
|  | const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& | files
| ) |  |

Gets the display string for the context.

This is used to ensure new applications are started on the same display as the launching application, by setting the <envar>DISPLAY</envar> environment variable.

Parameters:

  info | A AppInfo.
  files | A List of File objects.

Returns:
  A display string for the display.

std::string Gio::AppLaunchContext::get_startup_notify_id | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AppInfo >& | info,
|  | const Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr< Gio::File > >& | files
| ) |  |

Initiates startup notification for the application and returns the <envar>DESKTOP_STARTUP_ID</envar> for the launched operation, if supported.

Startup notification IDs are defined in the .

Parameters:

  info | A AppInfo.
  files | A List of of File objects.

Returns:
  A startup notification ID for the application, or `0` if not supported.

GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

const GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::ObjectBase.

GAppLaunchContext* Gio::AppLaunchContext::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

void Gio::AppLaunchContext::launch_failed | ( | const std::string & | startup_notify_id | ) |

Called when an application has failed to launch, so that it can cancel the application startup notification started in g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id().

Parameters:

  startup_notify_id | The startup notification id that was returned by g_app_launch_context_get_startup_notify_id().

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::AppLaunchContext > wrap | ( | GAppLaunchContext * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false`
| ) |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
