Clears the contents of the clipboard. Generally this should only be called between the time you call gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner or gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithData, and when the clear_func you supplied is called. Otherwise, the clipboard may be owned by someone else.
Connect to OwnerChange signal.
Gets the #GdkDisplay associated with clipboard
If the clipboard contents callbacks were set with gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner, and the gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithData or gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.clear has not subsequently called, returns the owner set by gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner.
Gets the selection that this clipboard is for.
Requests the contents of clipboard as the given target. When the results of the result are later received the supplied callback will be called.
Requests the contents of the clipboard as image. When the image is later received, it will be converted to a #GdkPixbuf, and callback will be called.
Requests the contents of the clipboard as rich text. When the rich text is later received, callback will be called.
Requests the contents of the clipboard as text. When the text is later received, it will be converted to UTF-8 if necessary, and callback will be called.
Requests the contents of the clipboard as URIs. When the URIs are later received callback will be called.
Returns this, for use in with statements.
Hints that the clipboard data should be stored somewhere when the application exits or when gtk_clipboard_store () is called.
Sets the contents of the clipboard to the given #GdkPixbuf. GTK+ will take responsibility for responding for requests for the image, and for converting the image into the requested format.
Sets the contents of the clipboard to the given UTF-8 string. GTK+ will make a copy of the text and take responsibility for responding for requests for the text, and for converting the text into the requested format.
Stores the current clipboard data somewhere so that it will stay around after the application has quit.
Requests the contents of the clipboard using the given target. This function waits for the data to be received using the main loop, so events, timeouts, etc, may be dispatched during the wait.

Get builder for gtk.clipboard.Clipboard
Returns the clipboard object for the given selection. See gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.getForDisplay for complete details.
Returns the default clipboard object for use with cut/copy/paste menu items and keyboard shortcuts.
Returns the clipboard object for the given selection. Cut/copy/paste menu items and keyboard shortcuts should use the default clipboard, returned by passing GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD for selection. (GDK_NONE is supported as a synonym for GDK_SELECTION_CLIPBOARD for backwards compatibility reasons.) The currently-selected object or text should be provided on the clipboard identified by #GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY. Cut/copy/paste menu items conceptually copy the contents of the #GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY clipboard to the default clipboard, i.e. they copy the selection to what the user sees as the clipboard.
Set the GObject of a D ObjectWrap wrapper.
Get a pointer to the underlying C object.
Calls g_object_ref() on a GObject.
Calls g_object_unref() on a GObject.
Get the GType of an object.
GObject GType property.
Convenience method to return this cast to a type. For use in D with statements.
Template to get the D object from a C GObject and cast it to the given D object type.
Connect a D closure to an object signal.
Template for setting a GObject property.
Template for getting a GObject property.
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.
Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.
This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling gobject.object.ObjectWrap.refSink.
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see gobject.object.ObjectWrap.setData).
Gets a property of an object.
This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectWrap.setQdata.
Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.
Checks whether object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object.
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if object has a floating reference.
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
Sets a property on an object.
Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
This function gets back user data pointers stored via gobject.object.ObjectWrap.setQdata and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:
Reverts the effect of a previous call to gobject.object.ObjectWrap.freezeNotify. The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling gobject.closure.Closure.invalidate on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, gobject.object.ObjectWrap.ref_ and gobject.object.ObjectWrap.unref are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.
Connect to Notify signal.
The #GtkClipboard object represents a clipboard of data shared between different processes or between different widgets in the same process. Each clipboard is identified by a name encoded as a #GdkAtom. (Conversion to and from strings can be done with gdk.atom.Atom.intern and gdk.atom.Atom.name.) The default clipboard corresponds to the “CLIPBOARD” atom; another commonly used clipboard is the “PRIMARY” clipboard, which, in X, traditionally contains the currently selected text.
To support having a number of different formats on the clipboard at the same time, the clipboard mechanism allows providing callbacks instead of the actual data. When you set the contents of the clipboard, you can either supply the data directly (via functions like gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setText), or you can supply a callback to be called at a later time when the data is needed (via gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithData or gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner.) Providing a callback also avoids having to make copies of the data when it is not needed.
gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithData and gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner are quite similar; the choice between the two depends mostly on which is more convenient in a particular situation. The former is most useful when you want to have a blob of data with callbacks to convert it into the various data types that you advertise. When the @clear_func you provided is called, you simply free the data blob. The latter is more useful when the contents of clipboard reflect the internal state of a #GObject (As an example, for the PRIMARY clipboard, when an entry widget provides the clipboard’s contents the contents are simply the text within the selected region.) If the contents change, the entry widget can call gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.setWithOwner to update the timestamp for clipboard ownership, without having to worry about @clear_func being called.
Requesting the data from the clipboard is essentially asynchronous. If the contents of the clipboard are provided within the same process, then a direct function call will be made to retrieve the data, but if they are provided by another process, then the data needs to be retrieved from the other process, which may take some time. To avoid blocking the user interface, the call to request the selection, gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.requestContents takes a callback that will be called when the contents are received (or when the request fails.) If you don’t want to deal with providing a separate callback, you can also use gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.waitForContents. What this does is run the GLib main loop recursively waiting for the contents. This can simplify the code flow, but you still have to be aware that other callbacks in your program can be called while this recursive mainloop is running.
Along with the functions to get the clipboard contents as an arbitrary data chunk, there are also functions to retrieve it as text, gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.requestText and gtk.clipboard.Clipboard.waitForText. These functions take care of determining which formats are advertised by the clipboard provider, asking for the clipboard in the best available format and converting the results into the UTF-8 encoding. (The standard form for representing strings in GTK+.)
