<a name="GdkDeviceManager.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>In addition to a single pointer and keyboard for user interface input,
GDK contains support for a variety of input devices, including graphics
tablets, touchscreens and multiple pointers/keyboards interacting
simultaneously with the user interface. Such input devices often have
additional features, such as sub-pixel positioning information and
additional device-dependent information.</p>
<p>In order to query the device hierarchy and be aware of changes in the
device hierarchy (such as virtual devices being created or removed, or
physical devices being plugged or unplugged), GDK provides
<a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html" title="GdkDeviceManager"><span class="type">GdkDeviceManager</span></a>.</p>
<p>By default, and if the platform supports it, GDK is aware of multiple
keyboard/pointer pairs and multitouch devices. This behavior can be
changed by calling <a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html#gdk-disable-multidevice" title="gdk_disable_multidevice ()"><code class="function">gdk_disable_multidevice()</code></a> before <a class="link" href="GdkDisplay.html#gdk-display-open" title="gdk_display_open ()"><code class="function">gdk_display_open()</code></a>.
There should rarely be a need to do that though, since GDK defaults
to a compatibility mode in which it will emit just one enter/leave
event pair for all devices on a window. To enable per-device
enter/leave events and other multi-pointer interaction features,
<a class="link" href="gdk3-Windows.html#gdk-window-set-support-multidevice" title="gdk_window_set_support_multidevice ()"><code class="function">gdk_window_set_support_multidevice()</code></a> must be called on
<a href="gdk3-Windows.html#GdkWindow-struct"><span class="type">GdkWindows</span></a> (or <code class="function">gtk_widget_set_support_multidevice()</code> on widgets).
window. See the <a class="link" href="gdk3-Windows.html#gdk-window-set-support-multidevice" title="gdk_window_set_support_multidevice ()"><code class="function">gdk_window_set_support_multidevice()</code></a> documentation
for more information.</p>
<p>On X11, multi-device support is implemented through XInput 2.
Unless <a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html#gdk-disable-multidevice" title="gdk_disable_multidevice ()"><code class="function">gdk_disable_multidevice()</code></a> is called, the XInput 2
<a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html" title="GdkDeviceManager"><span class="type">GdkDeviceManager</span></a> implementation will be used as the input source.
Otherwise either the core or XInput 1 implementations will be used.</p>
<p>For simple applications that dont have any special interest in
input devices, the so-called “client pointer”
provides a reasonable approximation to a simple setup with a single
pointer and keyboard. The device that has been set as the client
pointer can be accessed via <a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html#gdk-device-manager-get-client-pointer" title="gdk_device_manager_get_client_pointer ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_manager_get_client_pointer()</code></a>.</p>
<p>Conceptually, in multidevice mode there are 2 device types. Virtual
devices (or master devices) are represented by the pointer cursors
and keyboard foci that are seen on the screen. Physical devices (or
slave devices) represent the hardware that is controlling the virtual
devices, and thus have no visible cursor on the screen.</p>
<p>Virtual devices are always paired, so there is a keyboard device for every
pointer device. Associations between devices may be inspected through
<a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-get-associated-device" title="gdk_device_get_associated_device ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_get_associated_device()</code></a>.</p>
<p>There may be several virtual devices, and several physical devices could
be controlling each of these virtual devices. Physical devices may also
be “floating”, which means they are not attached to any virtual device.</p>

<p>By default, GDK will automatically listen for events coming from all
master devices, setting the <a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html" title="GdkDevice"><span class="type">GdkDevice</span></a> for all events coming from input
devices. Events containing device information are <a class="link" href="gdk3-Events.html#GDK-MOTION-NOTIFY:CAPS"><span class="type">GDK_MOTION_NOTIFY</span></a>,

and <a class="link" href="gdk3-Events.html#GDK-GRAB-BROKEN:CAPS"><span class="type">GDK_GRAB_BROKEN</span></a>. When dealing with an event on a master device,
it is possible to get the source (slave) device that the event originated
from via <a class="link" href="gdk3-Events.html#gdk-event-get-source-device" title="gdk_event_get_source_device ()"><code class="function">gdk_event_get_source_device()</code></a>.</p>
<p>On a standard session, all physical devices are connected by default to
the "Virtual Core Pointer/Keyboard" master devices, hence routing all events
through these. This behavior is only modified by device grabs, where the
slave device is temporarily detached for as long as the grab is held, and
more permanently by user modifications to the device hierarchy.</p>
<p>On certain application specific setups, it may make sense
to detach a physical device from its master pointer, and mapping it to
an specific window. This can be achieved by the combination of
<a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-grab" title="gdk_device_grab ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_grab()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-set-mode" title="gdk_device_set_mode ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_set_mode()</code></a>.</p>
<p>In order to listen for events coming from devices
other than a virtual device, <a class="link" href="gdk3-Windows.html#gdk-window-set-device-events" title="gdk_window_set_device_events ()"><code class="function">gdk_window_set_device_events()</code></a> must be
called. Generally, this function can be used to modify the event mask
for any given device.</p>
<p>Input devices may also provide additional information besides X/Y.
For example, graphics tablets may also provide pressure and X/Y tilt
information. This information is device-dependent, and may be
queried through <a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-get-axis" title="gdk_device_get_axis ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_get_axis()</code></a>. In multidevice mode, virtual
devices will change axes in order to always represent the physical
device that is routing events through it. Whenever the physical device
changes, the <a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#GdkDevice--n-axes" title="The “n-axes” property"><span class="type">“n-axes”</span></a> property will be notified, and
<a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-list-axes" title="gdk_device_list_axes ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_list_axes()</code></a> will return the new device axes.</p>
<p>Devices may also have associated “keys” or
macro buttons. Such keys can be globally set to map into normal X
keyboard events. The mapping is set using <a class="link" href="GdkDevice.html#gdk-device-set-key" title="gdk_device_set_key ()"><code class="function">gdk_device_set_key()</code></a>.</p>
<p>In GTK+ 3.20, a new <a class="link" href="GdkSeat.html" title="GdkSeat"><span class="type">GdkSeat</span></a> object has been introduced that
supersedes <a class="link" href="GdkDeviceManager.html" title="GdkDeviceManager"><span class="type">GdkDeviceManager</span></a> and should be preferred in newly
