#include <libecal/libecal.h>

Description

This class provides functionality for watching for changes on a given calendar opened with an ECalClient. Use e_cal_client_get_view() to create an ECalClientView.

Functions

e_cal_client_view_ref_client ()

struct _ECalClient *
e_cal_client_view_ref_client (ECalClientView *client_view);

Returns the “client” associated with client_view .

The returned ECalClient is referenced for thread-safety. Unreference the ECalClient with g_object_unref() when finished with it.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

Returns

an ECalClient.

e_cal_client_view_get_connection ()

GDBusConnection *
e_cal_client_view_get_connection (ECalClientView *client_view);

Returns the GDBusConnection used to create the D-Bus proxy.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

Returns

the GDBusConnection.

Since: 3.8


e_cal_client_view_get_object_path ()

const gchar *
e_cal_client_view_get_object_path (ECalClientView *client_view);

Returns the object path used to create the D-Bus proxy.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

Returns

the object path

Since: 3.8


e_cal_client_view_is_running ()

gboolean
e_cal_client_view_is_running (ECalClientView *client_view);

Retunrs: Whether view is running. Not running views are ignoring all events sent from the server.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

Since: 3.2


e_cal_client_view_set_fields_of_interest ()

void
e_cal_client_view_set_fields_of_interest
                               (ECalClientView *client_view,
                                const GSList *fields_of_interest,
                                GError **error);

Client can instruct server to which fields it is interested in only, thus the server can return less data over the wire. The server can still return complete objects, this is just a hint to it that the listed fields will be used only. The UID/RID fields are returned always. Initial views has no fields of interest and using NULL for fields_of_interest will unset any previous changes.

Some backends can use summary information of its cache to create artifical objects, which will omit stored object parsing. If this cannot be done then it will simply return object as is stored in the cache.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

fields_of_interest

List of field names in which the client is interested, or NULL to reset the fields of interest.

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

 

e_cal_client_view_start ()

void
e_cal_client_view_start (ECalClientView *client_view,
                         GError **error);

Tells client_view to start processing events.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

e_cal_client_view_stop ()

void
e_cal_client_view_stop (ECalClientView *client_view,
                        GError **error);

Tells client_view to stop processing events.

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

e_cal_client_view_set_flags ()

void
e_cal_client_view_set_flags (ECalClientView *client_view,
                             ECalClientViewFlags flags,
                             GError **error);

Sets the flags which control the behaviour of client_view .

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

flags

the ECalClientViewFlags for client_view

 

error

return location for a GError, or NULL

e_cal_client_view_get_client ()

struct _ECalClient *
e_cal_client_view_get_client (ECalClientView *client_view);

e_cal_client_view_get_client has been deprecated since version 3.10 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use e_cal_client_view_ref_client() instead.

Returns the “client” associated with client_view .

Parameters

client_view

an ECalClientView

 

Returns

an ECalClient.

[transfer none]

Since: 3.2

Types and Values

enum ECalClientViewFlags

Flags that control the behaviour of an ECalClientView.

Members

E_CAL_CLIENT_VIEW_FLAGS_NONE

Symbolic value for no flags

 

E_CAL_CLIENT_VIEW_FLAGS_NOTIFY_INITIAL

If this flag is set then all objects matching the view's query will be sent as notifications when starting the view, otherwise only future changes will be reported. The default for a ECalClientView is TRUE.
