Detailed Description

Interface for multi child elements.

This interface abstracts handling of property sets for elements with children. Imagine elements such as mixers or polyphonic generators. They all have multiple Gst::Pad or some kind of voice objects. Another use case are container elements like Gst::Bin. The element implementing the interface acts as a parent for those child objects.

By implementing this interface the child properties can be accessed from the parent element by using get_proxy_property() and set_proxy_property().

Property names are written as "child-name::property-name". The whole naming scheme is recursive. Thus "child1::child2::property" is valid too, if "child1" and "child2" implement the Gst::ChildProxy interface.

◆ child_added()

void Gst::ChildProxy::child_added ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Object >&  child,
const Glib::ustring &  name 
)

Emits the "child-added" signal.

Parameters
childThe newly added child.
nameThe name of the new child.

◆ child_removed()

void Gst::ChildProxy::child_removed ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gst::Object >&  child,

◆ get_child() [1/4]

Glib::RefPtr<Gst::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child ( const Glib::ustring &  name)

Looks up a child element by the given name.

This virtual method has a default implementation that uses Gst::Object together with Gst::Object::get_name(). If the interface is to be used with Objects, this methods needs to be overridden.

Parameters
nameThe child's name.
Returns
The child object or nullptr if not found. Unref after usage.

MT safe.

Glib::RefPtr<const Gst::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child ( const Glib::ustring &  name) const

Looks up a child element by the given name.

This virtual method has a default implementation that uses Gst::Object together with Gst::Object::get_name(). If the interface is to be used with Objects, this methods needs to be overridden.

Parameters
nameThe child's name.
Returns
The child object or nullptr if not found. Unref after usage.

MT safe.

Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child ( guint  index)

Fetches a child by its number.

Parameters
indexThe child's position in the child list.
Returns
The child object or nullptr if not found (index too high). Unref after usage.

MT safe.

◆ get_child() [4/4]

Glib::RefPtr<const Glib::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child ( guint  index) const

Fetches a child by its number.

Parameters

Returns
The child object or nullptr if not found (index too high). Unref after usage.

MT safe.

◆ get_child_by_index_vfunc()

virtual Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child_by_index_vfunc ( guint  index) const
virtual

Virtual method to fetch the child by index.

virtual Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object> Gst::ChildProxy::get_child_by_name_vfunc ( const Glib::ustring &  name) const
virtual

Virtual method to fetch the child by name.

◆ get_children_count()

guint Gst::ChildProxy::get_children_count ( ) const

Gets the number of child objects this parent contains.

Returns
The number of child objects

MT safe.

◆ get_children_count_vfunc()

virtual guint Gst::ChildProxy::get_children_count_vfunc ( ) const
virtual

Virtual method to get the children count.

◆ get_proxy_property() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr<Gst::ChildProxy> Gst::ChildProxy::get_proxy_property ( const Glib::ustring &  name,
Glib::ValueBase &  value 
)

Gets a single property using the Gst::ChildProxy mechanism.

Parameters
nameThe property to get.
valueAn empty Glib::ValueBase in which to store the property.
Returns
This Gst::ChildProxy so more properties can be retrieved if needed.

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]
