StatusIcon.getGeometry

bool getGeometry(out gdk.screen.Screen screen, out gdk.rectangle.Rectangle area, out gtk.types.Orientation orientation)

Obtains information about the location of the status icon on screen. This information can be used to e.g. position popups like notification bubbles.

See [gtk.status_icon.StatusIcon.positionMenu] for a more convenient alternative for positioning menus.

Note that some platforms do not allow GTK+ to provide this information, and even on platforms that do allow it, the information is not reliable unless the status icon is embedded in a notification area, see [gtk.status_icon.StatusIcon.isEmbedded].

Parameters

screenreturn location for the screen, or null if the information is not needed
areareturn location for the area occupied by the status icon, or null
orientationreturn location for the orientation of the panel in which the status icon is embedded, or null. A panel at the top or bottom of the screen is horizontal, a panel at the left or right is vertical.

Returns

true if the location information has

been filled in

Deprecated

Use #GNotification and #GtkApplication to

provide status notifications; there is no direct replacement for this function, as the platform is responsible for the presentation of notifications
