## Description

The WnckApplication is a group of WnckWindow that are all in the same application. It can be used to represent windows by applications, group windows by applications or to manipulate all windows of a particular application.

A WnckApplication is identified by the group leader of the WnckWindow belonging to it, and new WnckWindow are added to a WnckApplication if and only if they have the group leader of the WnckApplication.

The WnckApplication objects are always owned by libwnck and must not be referenced or unreferenced.

## Details

### WnckApplication

    typedef struct _WnckApplication WnckApplication;

The WnckApplication struct contains only private fields and should not be directly accessed.

### wnck_application_get ()

    WnckApplication *   wnck_application_get                (gulong xwindow);

Gets the WnckApplication corresponding to the group leader with `xwindow` as X window ID.

`xwindow` : | the X window ID of a group leader.
Returns : | the WnckApplication corresponding to `xwindow`, or `NULL` if there no such WnckApplication could be found. The returned WnckApplication is owned by libwnck and must not be referenced or unreferenced. [transfer none]

### wnck_application_get_xid ()

    gulong              wnck_application_get_xid            (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the X window ID of the group leader window for `app`.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the X window ID of the group leader window for `app`.

### wnck_application_get_name ()

    const char *        wnck_application_get_name           (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the name of `app`. Since there is no way to properly find this name, various suboptimal heuristics are used to find it. GTK+ should probably have a function to allow applications to set the _NET_WM_NAME property on the group leader as the application name, and the EWMH should say that this is where the application name goes.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the name of `app`, or a fallback name if no name is available.

### wnck_application_get_icon_name ()

    const char *        wnck_application_get_icon_name      (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the icon name of `app` (to be used when `app` is minimized). Since there is no way to properly find this name, various suboptimal heuristics are used to find it.

`app` : | a WnckApplication
Returns : | the icon name of `app`, or a fallback icon name if no icon name is available.

### wnck_application_get_pid ()

    int                 wnck_application_get_pid            (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the process ID of `app`.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the process ID of `app`, or 0 if none is available.

### wnck_application_get_icon_is_fallback ()

    gboolean            wnck_application_get_icon_is_fallback
                                                            (WnckApplication *app);

Gets whether a default fallback icon is used for `app` (because none was set on `app`).

`app` : | a WnckApplication
Returns : | `TRUE` if the icon for `app` is a fallback, `FALSE` otherwise.

### wnck_application_get_icon ()

    GdkPixbuf *         wnck_application_get_icon           (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the icon to be used for `app`. If no icon is set for `app`, a suboptimal heuristic is used to find an appropriate icon. If no icon was found, a fallback icon is used.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the icon for `app`. The caller should reference the returned `GdkPixbuf` if it needs to keep the icon around.

### wnck_application_get_mini_icon ()

    GdkPixbuf *         wnck_application_get_mini_icon      (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the mini-icon to be used for `app`. If no mini-icon is set for `app`, a suboptimal heuristic is used to find an appropriate icon. If no mini-icon was found, a fallback mini-icon is used.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the mini-icon for `app`. The caller should reference the returned `GdkPixbuf` if it needs to keep the mini-icon around.

### wnck_application_get_startup_id ()

    const char *        wnck_application_get_startup_id     (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the startup sequence ID used for startup notification of `app`.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the startup sequence ID used for startup notification of `app`, or `NULL` if none is available.

Since 2.2

### wnck_application_get_windows ()

    GList *             wnck_application_get_windows        (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the list of WnckWindow belonging to `app`.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the list of WnckWindow belonging to `app`, or `NULL` if the application contains no window. The list should not be modified nor freed, as it is owned by `app`. [element-type WnckWindow][transfer none]

### wnck_application_get_n_windows ()

    int                 wnck_application_get_n_windows      (WnckApplication *app);

Gets the number of WnckWindow belonging to `app`.

`app` : | a WnckApplication.
Returns : | the number of WnckWindow belonging to `app`.

## Signal Details

### The `"icon-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (WnckApplication *app,
                                                            gpointer         user_data)      : Run Last

Emitted when the icon of `app` changes.

`app` : | the WnckApplication which emitted the signal.
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"name-changed"` signal

    void                user_function                      (WnckApplication *app,
                                                            gpointer         user_data)      : Run Last

Emitted when the name of `app` changes.

`app` : | the WnckApplication which emitted the signal.
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.
