A Hover object will hover over its parent
object at the target
location.
Anything in the background will be given a darker coloring to indicate that the hover object is on top (at the default theme). When the hover is clicked it is dismissed(hidden), if the contents of the hover are clicked that doesn’t cause the hover to be dismissed.
A Hover object has two parents. One parent that owns it during creation and the other parent being the one over which the hover object spans.
clicked
- the user clicked the empty space in the hover to
dismiss.dismissed
- the user clicked the empty space in the hover to dismiss.
(since 1.8)smart,changed
- a content object placed under the “smart”
policy was replaced to a new slot direction.left

smart
All directions may have contents at the same time, except for “smart”.
This is a special placement hint and its use case depends of the
calculations coming from best_content_location_get()
. Its use
is for cases when one desires only one hover content, but with a dynamic
special placement within the hover area. The content’s geometry,
whenever it changes, will be used to decide on a best location, not
extrapolating the hover’s parent object view to show it in (still being
the hover’s target determinant of its medium part – move and resize it
to simulate finger sizes, for example). If one of the directions other
than “smart” are used, a previously content set using it will be
deleted, and vice-versa.
Note
The hover object will take up the entire space of target
object.
Note
The content parts listed indicate the direction that the content will be displayed

Parameters: |

best_content_location_get
(pref_axis)¶Returns the best swallow location for content in the hover.
Best is defined here as the location at which there is the most available space.
If ELM_HOVER_AXIS_HORIZONTAL
is chosen the returned position
will necessarily be along the horizontal axis(“left” or “right”). If
ELM_HOVER_AXIS_VERTICAL
is chosen the returned position will
necessarily be along the vertical axis(“top” or “bottom”). Choosing
ELM_HOVER_AXIS_BOTH
or ELM_HOVER_AXIS_NONE
has the same
effect and the returned position may be in either axis.

Returns: | The edje location to place content into the hover or None, on errors. |

callback_clicked_add
(func, *args, **kwargs)¶the user clicked the empty space in the hover to dismiss
callback_clicked_del
(func)¶callback_dismissed_add
(func, *args, **kwargs)¶the user clicked the empty space in the hover to dismiss
New in version 1.8.1.
callback_dismissed_del
(func)¶callback_smart_changed_add
(func, *args, **kwargs)¶a content object placed under the “smart” policy was replaced to a new slot direction.
callback_smart_changed_del
(func)¶dismiss
()¶Dismiss a hover object
Use this function to simulate clicking outside the hover to dismiss it. In this way, the hover will be hidden and the “clicked” signal will be emitted.
parent
¶The parent object for the hover.
This will cause the hover to take up the entire space that the parent object fills.

(parent)¶target
¶The target object for the hover.
Setting this will cause the hover to be centered on the target object.
