Class Details

class Atk.Misc(**kwargs)

Bases:GObject.Object Abstract:No Structure:Atk.MiscClass

A set of utility functions for thread locking. This interface and all his related methods are deprecated since 2.12.

classmethod get_instance()

Returns:The singleton instance of Atk.Misc for this application. Return type:Atk.Misc

Obtain the singleton instance of Atk.Misc for this application.

New in version 1.13.

Deprecated since version 2.12.

threads_enter()

Take the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_ENTER).

New in version 1.13.

Deprecated since version 2.12.

threads_leave()

Release the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. This method, and Atk.Misc.threads_enter, are needed in some situations by threaded application code which services ATK requests, since fulfilling ATK requests often requires calling into the GUI toolkit. If a long-running or potentially blocking call takes place inside such a block, it should be bracketed by Atk.Misc.threads_leave/Atk.Misc.threads_enter calls. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_LEAVE).

New in version 1.13.

Deprecated since version 2.12.

do_threads_enter() virtual

Take the thread mutex for the GUI toolkit, if one exists. (This method is implemented by the toolkit ATK implementation layer; for instance, for GTK+, GAIL implements this via GDK_THREADS_ENTER).

New in version 1.13.

Deprecated since version 2.12.

This method, and Atk.Misc.threads_enter, are needed in some situations by threaded application code which services ATK requests, since fulfilling ATK requests often requires calling into the GUI toolkit.
