## Object Hierarchy

      GInterface
       +----GdauiDataProxy

## Prerequisites

GdauiDataProxy requires GObject.

## Known Implementations

GdauiDataProxy is implemented by GdauiForm, GdauiGrid, GdauiRawForm and GdauiRawGrid.

## Signals

      "proxy-changed"                                  : Run First

## Description

The GdauiDataProxy interface is implemented by widgets which allow modifications to a GdaDataModel (through a GdaDataProxy to actually proxy the changes before they are written to the data model).

## Details

### GdauiDataProxy

    typedef struct _GdauiDataProxy GdauiDataProxy;

### GdauiDataProxyIface

    typedef struct {
    	GTypeInterface           g_iface;

    	/* virtual table */
    	GdaDataProxy        *(* get_proxy)           (GdauiDataProxy *iface);
    	void                 (* set_column_editable) (GdauiDataProxy *iface, gint column, gboolean editable);
    	void                 (* show_column_actions) (GdauiDataProxy *iface, gint column, gboolean show_actions);
    	GtkActionGroup      *(* get_actions_group)   (GdauiDataProxy *iface);
    	gboolean             (* set_write_mode)      (GdauiDataProxy *iface, GdauiDataProxyWriteMode mode);
    	GdauiDataProxyWriteMode (* get_write_mode)(GdauiDataProxy *iface);

    	/* signals */
    	void                 (* proxy_changed)       (GdauiDataProxy *iface, GdaDataProxy *proxy);
    } GdauiDataProxyIface;

### gdaui_data_proxy_get_proxy ()

    GdaDataProxy *      gdaui_data_proxy_get_proxy          (GdauiDataProxy *iface);

Get a pointer to the GdaDataProxy being used by `iface`

`iface` : | an object which implements the GdauiDataProxy interface
Returns : | a GdaDataProxy pointer. [transfer none]

Since 4.2

### gdaui_data_proxy_get_actions_group ()

    GtkActionGroup *    gdaui_data_proxy_get_actions_group  (GdauiDataProxy *iface);

Each widget imlplementing the GdauiDataProxy interface provides actions. Actions can be triggered using the `gdaui_data_proxy_perform_action()` method, but using this method allows for the creation of toolbars, menus, etc calling these actions.

The actions are among:

- Data edition actions: "ActionNew", "ActionCommit", "ActionDelete", "ActionReset". Note that the "ActionDelete" action is actually a GtkToggleAction action which can be used to delete a row or undelete it.

- Record by record moving: "ActionFirstRecord", "ActionPrevRecord", "ActionNextRecord", "ActionLastRecord".

- Chuncks of records moving: "ActionFirstChunck", "ActionPrevChunck", "ActionNextChunck", "ActionLastChunck".

- Filtering: "ActionFilter".

`iface` : | an object which implements the GdauiDataProxy interface
Returns : | the GtkActionGroup with all the possible actions on the widget. [transfer none]

Since 4.2

`iface` : | an object which implements the GdauiDataProxy interface
`column` : | column number of the data, or -1 to apply the setting to all the columns
`show_actions` : | set to `TRUE` if the actions menu must be shown

Since 4.2

### enum GdauiDataProxyWriteMode

    typedef enum {
    	GDAUI_DATA_PROXY_WRITE_ON_DEMAND           = 0, /* write only when explicitly requested */

`iface` : | an object which implements the GdauiDataProxy interface
`mode` : | the requested GdauiDataProxyWriteMode mode
Returns : | TRUE if the proposed mode has been taken into account

## Signal Details

### The `"proxy-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GdauiDataProxy *gdauidataproxy,
                                                            GdaDataProxy   *arg1,
                                                            gpointer        user_data)           : Run First

The ::proxy-changed signal is emitted each time the GdaDataProxy which would be returned by `gdaui_data_proxy_get_proxy()` changes. This is generally the result of changes in the structure of the proxied data model (different number and/or type of columns for example).

`gdauidataproxy` : | the GdauiDataProxy
`arg1` : | the GdaDataProxy which would be returned by `gdaui_data_proxy_get_proxy()`
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
