Struct tauri::window::WindowBuilder

pub struct WindowBuilder<'a, R: Runtime, M: Manager<R>> { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature unstable only.

A builder for a window managed by Tauri.

Implementations

impl<'a, R: Runtime, M: Manager<R>> WindowBuilder<'a, R, M>

pub fn new<L: Into<String>>(manager: &'a M, label: L) -> Self

Initializes a window builder with the given window label.

Known issues

On Windows, this function deadlocks when used in a synchronous command, see the Webview2 issue. You should use async commands when creating windows.

Examples

• Create a window in the setup hook:

tauri::Builder::default()
  .setup(|app| {
    let window = tauri::window::WindowBuilder::new(app, "label")
      .build()?;
    Ok(())
  });

• Create a window in a separate thread:

tauri::Builder::default()
  .setup(|app| {
    let handle = app.handle().clone();
    std::thread::spawn(move || {
      let window = tauri::window::WindowBuilder::new(&handle, "label")
        .build()
        .unwrap();
    });
    Ok(())
  });

• Create a window in a command:

#[tauri::command]
async fn create_window(app: tauri::AppHandle) {
  let window = tauri::window::WindowBuilder::new(&app, "label")
    .build()
    .unwrap();
}

pub fn from_config(manager: &'a M, config: &WindowConfig) -> Result<Self>

Initializes a window builder from a WindowConfig from tauri.conf.json. Keep in mind that you can’t create 2 windows with the same label so make sure that the initial window was closed or change the label of the new WindowBuilder.

Known issues

On Windows, this function deadlocks when used in a synchronous command, see the Webview2 issue. You should use async commands when creating windows.

Examples

• Create a window in a command:

#[tauri::command]
async fn reopen_window(app: tauri::AppHandle) {
  let window = tauri::window::WindowBuilder::from_config(&app, &app.config().app.windows.get(0).unwrap().clone())
    .unwrap()
    .build()
    .unwrap();
}

pub fn on_menu_event<F: Fn(&Window<R>, MenuEvent) + Send + Sync + 'static>( self, f: F ) -> Self

Registers a global menu event listener.

Note that this handler is called for any menu event, whether it is coming from this window, another window or from the tray icon menu.

Also note that this handler will not be called if the window used to register it was closed.

Examples

use tauri::menu::{Menu, Submenu, MenuItem};
tauri::Builder::default()
  .setup(|app| {
    let handle = app.handle();
    let save_menu_item = MenuItem::new(handle, "Save", true, None::<&str>)?;
    let menu = Menu::with_items(handle, &[
      &Submenu::with_items(handle, "File", true, &[
        &save_menu_item,
      ])?,
    ])?;
    let window = tauri::window::WindowBuilder::new(app, "editor")
      .menu(menu)
      .on_menu_event(move |window, event| {
        if event.id == save_menu_item.id() {
          // save menu item
        }
      })
      .build()
      .unwrap();
  ///
    Ok(())
  });

pub fn build(self) -> Result<Window<R>>

Creates a new window.

impl<'a, R: Runtime, M: Manager<R>> WindowBuilder<'a, R, M>

Desktop APIs.

pub fn menu(self, menu: Menu<R>) -> Self

Sets the menu for the window.

pub fn center(self) -> Self

Show window in the center of the screen.

pub fn position(self, x: f64, y: f64) -> Self

The initial position of the window’s.

pub fn inner_size(self, width: f64, height: f64) -> Self

Window size.

pub fn min_inner_size(self, min_width: f64, min_height: f64) -> Self

Window min inner size.

pub fn max_inner_size(self, max_width: f64, max_height: f64) -> Self

Window max inner size.

pub fn resizable(self, resizable: bool) -> Self

Whether the window is resizable or not. When resizable is set to false, native window’s maximize button is automatically disabled.

pub fn maximizable(self, maximizable: bool) -> Self

Whether the window’s native maximize button is enabled or not. If resizable is set to false, this setting is ignored.

Platform-specific

• macOS: Disables the “zoom” button in the window titlebar, which is also used to enter fullscreen mode.
• Linux / iOS / Android: Unsupported.

pub fn minimizable(self, minimizable: bool) -> Self

Whether the window’s native minimize button is enabled or not.

Platform-specific

• Linux / iOS / Android: Unsupported.

pub fn closable(self, closable: bool) -> Self

Whether the window’s native close button is enabled or not.

Platform-specific

• Linux: “GTK+ will do its best to convince the window manager not to show a close button. Depending on the system, this function may not have any effect when called on a window that is already visible”
• iOS / Android: Unsupported.

pub fn title<S: Into<String>>(self, title: S) -> Self

The title of the window in the title bar.

pub fn fullscreen(self, fullscreen: bool) -> Self

Whether to start the window in fullscreen or not.

pub fn focus(self) -> Self

👎Deprecated since 1.2.0: The window is automatically focused by default. This function Will be removed in 2.0.0. Use focused instead.

Sets the window to be initially focused.

pub fn focused(self, focused: bool) -> Self

Whether the window will be initially focused or not.

pub fn maximized(self, maximized: bool) -> Self

Whether the window should be maximized upon creation.

pub fn visible(self, visible: bool) -> Self

Whether the window should be immediately visible upon creation.

pub fn theme(self, theme: Option<Theme>) -> Self

Forces a theme or uses the system settings if None was provided.

Platform-specific

• macOS: Only supported on macOS 10.14+.

pub fn transparent(self, transparent: bool) -> Self

Available on non-macOS or crate feature macos-private-api only.

Whether the window should be transparent. If this is true, writing colors with alpha values different than 1.0 will produce a transparent window.

pub fn decorations(self, decorations: bool) -> Self

Whether the window should have borders and bars.

pub fn always_on_bottom(self, always_on_bottom: bool) -> Self

Whether the window should always be below other windows.

pub fn always_on_top(self, always_on_top: bool) -> Self

Whether the window will be visible on all workspaces or virtual desktops.

Platform-specific

• Windows / iOS / Android: Unsupported.

pub fn content_protected(self, protected: bool) -> Self

Prevents the window contents from being captured by other apps.

pub fn icon(self, icon: Icon) -> Result<Self>

Sets the window icon.

pub fn skip_taskbar(self, skip: bool) -> Self

Sets whether or not the window icon should be hidden from the taskbar.

Platform-specific

• macOS: Unsupported.

pub fn shadow(self, enable: bool) -> Self

Sets whether or not the window has shadow.

Platform-specific

• Windows:
  • false has no effect on decorated window, shadows are always ON.
  • true will make undecorated window have a 1px white border, and on Windows 11, it will have a rounded corners.
• Linux: Unsupported.

pub fn parent(self, parent: &Window<R>) -> Result<Self>

Sets a parent to the window to be created.

Platform-specific

• Windows: This sets the passed parent as an owner window to the window to be created. From MSDN owned windows docs:
  • An owned window is always above its owner in the z-order.
  • The system automatically destroys an owned window when its owner is destroyed.
  • An owned window is hidden when its owner is minimized.
• Linux: This makes the new window transient for parent, see https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.Window.set_transient_for.html
• macOS: This adds the window as a child of parent, see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nswindow/1419152-addchildwindow?language=objc

pub fn transient_for(self, parent: &Window<R>) -> Result<Self>

Sets the window to be created transient for parent.

See https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.Window.set_transient_for.html

Note: This is a low level API. See Self::parent for a higher level wrapper for Tauri windows.

pub fn transient_for_raw(self, parent: &impl IsA<Window>) -> Self

Sets the window to be created transient for parent.

See https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.Window.set_transient_for.html

Note: This is a low level API. See Self::parent and Self::transient_for for higher level wrappers for Tauri windows.

pub fn effects(self, effects: WindowEffectsConfig) -> Self

Sets window effects.

Requires the window to be transparent.

Platform-specific:

• Windows: If using decorations or shadows, you may want to try this workaround https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/72#issuecomment-975607891
• Linux: Unsupported
