50 * GBindingTransformFunc:
51 * @binding: a #GBinding
52 * @from_value: the #GValue containing the value to transform
53 * @to_value: the #GValue in which to store the transformed value
54 * @user_data: data passed to the transform function
56 * A function to be called to transform @from_value to @to_value. If
57 * this is the @transform_to function of a binding, then @from_value
58 * is the @source_property on the @source object, and @to_value is the
59 * @target_property on the @target object. If this is the
60 * @transform_from function of a %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL binding,
61 * then those roles are reversed.
63 * Return value: %TRUE if the transformation was successful, and %FALSE
68 typedef gboolean (* GBindingTransformFunc) (GBinding *binding,
69 const GValue *from_value,
75 * @G_BINDING_DEFAULT: The default binding; if the source property
76 * changes, the target property is updated with its value.
77 * @G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL: Bidirectional binding; if either the
78 * property of the source or the property of the target changes,
79 * the other is updated.
80 * @G_BINDING_SYNC_CREATE: Synchronize the values of the source and
81 * target properties when creating the binding; the direction of
82 * the synchronization is always from the source to the target.
83 * @G_BINDING_INVERT_BOOLEAN: If the two properties being bound are
84 * booleans, setting one to %TRUE will result in the other being
85 * set to %FALSE and vice versa. This flag will only work for
86 * boolean properties, and cannot be used when passing custom
87 * transformation functions to g_object_bind_property_full().
89 * Flags to be passed to g_object_bind_property() or
90 * g_object_bind_property_full().
92 * This enumeration can be extended at later date.
