## Types and Values

struct | TpMessageMixin

## Includes

    #include <telepathy-glib/telepathy-glib.h>

## Description

This mixin can be added to a channel GObject class to implement the text channel type (with the Messages interface) in a general way. The channel class should also have a TpDBusPropertiesMixinClass.

To use the messages mixin, include a TpMessageMixin somewhere in your instance structure, and call `tp_message_mixin_init()` from your constructor function, and `tp_message_mixin_finalize()` from your dispose or finalize function. In the class_init function, call `tp_message_mixin_init_dbus_properties()` to hook this mixin into the D-Bus properties mixin class. Finally, include the following in the fourth argument of `G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE()`:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_TYPE_TEXT,
      tp_message_mixin_text_iface_init);
    G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_MESSAGES,
      tp_message_mixin_messages_iface_init);

To support sending messages, you must call `tp_message_mixin_implement_sending()` in the constructor function. If you do not, any attempt to send a message will fail with NotImplemented.

To support chat state, you must call `tp_message_mixin_implement_send_chat_state()` in the constructor function, and include the following in the fourth argument of `G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE()`:

    1
    2
    G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (TP_TYPE_SVC_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_CHAT_STATE,
      tp_message_mixin_chat_state_iface_init);

## Functions

### TpMessageMixinSendImpl ()

    void
    (*TpMessageMixinSendImpl) (GObject *object,
                               TpMessage *message,
                               TpMessageSendingFlags flags);

Signature of a virtual method which may be implemented to allow messages to be sent. It must arrange for `tp_message_mixin_sent()` to be called when the message has submitted or when message submission has failed.

#### Parameters

object | An instance of the implementation that uses this mixin |
message | An outgoing message |
flags | flags with which to send the message |

### tp_message_mixin_finalize ()

    void
    tp_message_mixin_finalize (GObject *obj);

Free resources held by the text mixin.

#### Parameters

obj | An object with this mixin. |

Set the callback used to implement SendMessage, and the types of message that can be sent. This must be called from the init, constructor or constructed callback, after `tp_message_mixin_init()`, and may only be called once per object.

#### Parameters

    void
    tp_message_mixin_init_dbus_properties (GObjectClass *cls);

Fill in this mixin's Messages method implementations in the given interface vtable.

#### Parameters

g_iface | A pointer to the TpSvcChannelInterfaceMessagesClass in an object class |
iface_data | Ignored |

An implementation of TpDBusPropertiesMixinGetter which assumes that the `object` has the messages mixin. It can only be used for the Messages interface.

#### Parameters

object | An object with this mixin |
interface | Must be `TP_IFACE_QUARK_CHANNEL_INTERFACE_MESSAGES` |
name | A quark representing the D-Bus property name, either "PendingMessages", "SupportedContentTypes" or "MessagePartSupportFlags" |

### tp_message_mixin_sent ()

                           const GError *error);

Indicate to the message mixin that message submission to the IM server has succeeded or failed. This should be called as soon as the CM determines it's theoretically possible to send the message (e.g. the parameters are supported and correct).

After this function is called, `message` will have been freed, and must not be dereferenced.

#### Parameters

object | An object implementing the Text and Messages interfaces with this mixin |
message | The outgoing message |
flags | The flags used when sending the message, which may be a subset of those passed to the TpMessageMixinSendImpl implementation if not all are supported, or 0 on error. |
token | A token representing the sent message (see the Telepathy D-Bus API specification), or an empty string if no suitable identifier is available, or `NULL` on error |
error | `NULL` on success, or the error with which message submission failed |

Since: 0.7.21

### tp_message_mixin_set_rescued ()

    void

Receive a message into the pending messages queue, where it will stay until acknowledged, and emit the Received and ReceivedMessage signals. Also emit the SendError signal if the message is a failed delivery report.

#### Parameters
