Efl.Part (interface)

Description

Interface for objects supporting named parts.

An object implementing this interface will be able to provide access to some of its sub-objects by name. This gives access to parts as defined in a widget's theme.

Part proxy objects have a special lifetime that is limited to one and only one function call. This behavior is implemented in efl_part() which call Efl.Part.part_get(). Calling Efl.Part.part_get() directly should be avoided.

In other words, the caller does not hold a reference to this proxy object. It may be possible, in languages that allow it, to get an extra reference to this part object and extend its lifetime to more than a single function call.

In pseudo-code, this means only the following two use cases are supported:

obj.func(part(obj, "part"), args)

And:

part = ref(part(obj, "part")) func1(part, args) func2(part, args) func3(part, args) unref(part)

Since 1.22
