Object properties

Create a new Unique.App

Parameters:

String name Required (not null)

String startup_id Required (not null)

Returns:

Unique.App

Adds command_name as a custom command that can be used by app. You must call unique_app_add_command() before unique_app_send_message() in order to use the newly added command. id in unique_app_send_message() and inside the UniqueApp::message-received signal.

Parameters:

String command_name Required (not null)

Number command_id Required (not null)

Returns:

none

Checks whether another instance of app is running.

Returns:

Boolean

Sends command to a running instance of app. If you need to pass data to the instance, you should create a UniqueMessageData object using unique_message_data_new() and then fill it with the data you intend to pass. The running application will receive a UniqueApp::message-received signal and will call the various signal handlers attach to it. If any handler returns a UniqueResponse different than UNIQUE_RESPONSE_OK, the emission will stop.

Parameters:

Number command_id Required (not null)

Unique.MessageData message_data Required (not null)

Returns:

Unique.Response

Makes app "watch" a window. Every watched window will receive startup notification changes automatically.

Parameters:

Gtk.Window window Required (not null)

Returns:

none

The ::message-received signal is emitted each time a second instance of UniqueApp with the same name as app is launched and sends a message using unique_app_send_message(). The currently running instance should check command for the action to execute and message_data for eventual other parameters (see UniqueMessageData). The signal handler should return a UniqueResponse value depending on whether the command was successfully completed or not. If the UNIQUE_RESPONSE_PASSTHROUGH return value is used, the signal emission chain will continue until another handler will return another response code.

Parameters:

Unique.App self

Number command

Unique.MessageData message_data

Number time_

Returns:

{Unique.Response}
