## Description

## Details

### enum MxFocusDirection

    typedef enum
    {
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_OUT,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_UP,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_DOWN,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_LEFT,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_RIGHT,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_NEXT,
      MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_PREVIOUS
    } MxFocusDirection;

### enum MxFocusHint

    typedef enum
    {
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_FIRST,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_LAST,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_PRIOR,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_ABOVE,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_BELOW,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_LEFT,
      MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_RIGHT
    } MxFocusHint;

### MxFocusable

    typedef struct _MxFocusable MxFocusable;

This is an opaque structure whose members cannot be directly accessed.

### struct MxFocusableIface

    struct MxFocusableIface {
      GObjectClass parent_class;

      MxFocusable* (*accept_focus) (MxFocusable *focusable,
                                    MxFocusHint  hint);
      MxFocusable* (*move_focus)   (MxFocusable      *focusable,
                                    MxFocusDirection  direction,
                                    MxFocusable      *from);
    };

### mx_focusable_move_focus ()

    MxFocusable *       mx_focusable_move_focus             (MxFocusable *focusable,
                                                             MxFocusDirection direction,
                                                             MxFocusable *from);

### mx_focusable_accept_focus ()

    MxFocusable *       mx_focusable_accept_focus           (MxFocusable *focusable,
                                                             MxFocusHint hint);

### mx_focus_hint_from_direction ()

    MxFocusHint         mx_focus_hint_from_direction        (MxFocusDirection direction);

Transforms a focus direction to a focus hint. This is a convenience function for actors that implement the MxFocusable interface, to pass the correct MxFocusHint to their children when calling `mx_focusable_accept_focus()`.

`MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_UP` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_BELOW`, `MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_DOWN` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_ABOVE`, `MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_LEFT` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_RIGHT`, `MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_RIGHT` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_FROM_LEFT`, `MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_NEXT` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_FIRST`, `MX_FOCUS_DIRECTION_PREVIOUS` maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_LAST` and anything else maps to `MX_FOCUS_HINT_PRIOR`.

`direction` : | A MxFocusDirection
Returns : | A MxFocusHint
