Implementations

impl OverlayManager

pub fn new() -> Self

pub fn version(&self) -> &Signal<u64>

Reactive handle bumped on every overlay mutation (show / dismiss / cascade). Cheap clone. Same shape as crate::shortcut::ShortcutRegistry::version.

pub fn show(&mut self, request: OverlayRequest) -> OverlayId

Show a new overlay. Returns the OverlayId.

pub fn show_for( &mut self, request: OverlayRequest, duration: Duration, ) -> OverlayId

Show a new overlay that dismisses automatically after duration.

pub fn fade_duration(&self, id: OverlayId) -> Option<Duration>

Public read-only accessor for the fade state. Returns the duration if fade is configured, None otherwise. Used by WidgetTree::dismiss_overlay to know whether to leave the content active for the fade-out window.

pub fn next_auto_dismiss_deadline(&self) -> Option<Instant>

pub fn next_pointer_leave_deadline(&self) -> Option<Instant>

Earliest instant at which a DismissBehavior::PointerLeave overlay whose leave-grace is already running becomes due for dismissal.

The counterpart of next_auto_dismiss_deadline for the hover-opened overlays (tooltips, hover submenus). Without it the event loop has no reason to wake between the pointer’s last motion event and the end of the grace window: next_timer_deadline would return None, winit would sit in ControlFlow::Wait, and the overlay would stay on screen until some unrelated input happened to redraw the window.

pub fn pause_auto_dismiss(&mut self, id: OverlayId)

Pause the auto-dismiss timer for an overlay shown with show_for. The remaining time (auto_dismiss_after - elapsed) is stashed; subsequent calls to next_auto_dismiss_deadline ignore this overlay until resume_auto_dismiss is called. Idempotent — pausing an already-paused overlay is a no-op (the originally-stashed remaining time is preserved).

Used by ToastHost to implement hover-pause: when the user is hovering over any live toast, all live toasts pause their timers so the user can read each one without losing the notification they’re about to act on.

No-op on overlays without auto_dismiss_after (persistent overlays don’t have a timer to pause) and on unknown ids.

pub fn resume_auto_dismiss(&mut self, id: OverlayId)

Resume an auto-dismiss timer paused via pause_auto_dismiss. The stashed remaining time becomes the new auto_dismiss_after, and shown_at_real / shown_at_sim are reset to now so the deadline computation works correctly. Idempotent — resuming an un-paused overlay is a no-op.

pub fn is_auto_dismiss_paused(&self, id: OverlayId) -> bool

Whether the auto-dismiss timer for an overlay is currently paused. false for overlays without auto_dismiss_after, unknown ids, and overlays whose timer is running.

pub fn bounds_for(&self, id: OverlayId) -> Option<Rect>

Public accessor for an overlay’s currently-laid-out screen rect. Returns None for unknown ids and for overlays that have not yet been through a layout pass (bounds == Rect::ZERO in that case, but we still hand it back — callers should not trust a zero-sized rect for hit-test geometry).

Used by MenuList’s safe-triangle submenu hover gate, which needs the open submenu’s near-edge to test whether the cursor trajectory is still headed toward the submenu.

pub fn dismiss_with_focus_restore( &mut self, id: OverlayId, ) -> (Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)

Dismiss an overlay and all its children (cascade), returning the dismissed content widget IDs and the overlay’s focus_restore target.

pub fn dismiss_descendants_of( &mut self, parent: OverlayId, preserve: Option<OverlayId>, ) -> (Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)

Dismiss all descendant overlays of parent, optionally preserving the subtree rooted at preserve.

pub fn update_placement(&mut self, id: OverlayId, placement: OverlayPlacement)

Update the placement of an existing overlay.

pub fn set_parent_overlay(&mut self, id: OverlayId, parent: Option<OverlayId>)

Update the parent-overlay link of an existing overlay. Used by the modal-presentation pipeline to retroactively attach the dialog scrim (pushed first, below the modal in the stack) to the modal (pushed second) so that dismissing the modal cascades through dismiss_immediate and also dismisses the scrim.

pub fn dismiss(&mut self, id: OverlayId) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Dismiss an overlay and all its children (cascade). Returns the content widget IDs of all dismissed overlays.

Fade-aware: when an overlay was shown with OverlayRequest::with_fade and is not yet fading out, this method instead kicks off the fade-out tween on the framework- owned opacity signal and marks dismiss_at, returning an empty vec — the actual stack removal and content dormancy happen later via process_pending_fade_dismissals. Cascaded descendants vanish with the leaf’s fade-out (they’re typically submenus the user dismissed via the leaf, and a per-descendant tween would compete with the leaf’s).

pub fn process_pending_fade_dismissals( &mut self, now: Instant, ) -> Vec<(OverlayId, Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)>

Drain overlays whose real-clock fade-out tween has completed. Call from the live layout pass; the framework dormants the returned content widget IDs and restores focus where appropriate. Each entry is (overlay_id, dismissed_content_ids, focus_restore) so the layout pass can run the same dormant-and-restore-focus flow it uses for dismiss_with_focus_restore.

pub fn process_pending_fade_dismissals_sim( &mut self, now_sim: Instant, ) -> Vec<(OverlayId, Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)>

Sim-clock variant for deterministic headless tests. Same shape as process_pending_fade_dismissals but reads dismissing_started_sim.

pub fn next_fade_dismiss_deadline(&self) -> Option<Instant>

Earliest real-clock deadline at which a fading-out overlay wants to finish its dismissal. Used by the event-loop wakeup logic to schedule the next frame.

pub fn dismiss_top( &mut self, ) -> Option<(OverlayId, Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)>

Dismiss the topmost overlay unconditionally (e.g., ArrowLeft for submenu cascading). Returns the overlay ID, content widget IDs, and focus_restore target.

pub fn try_dismiss_top_on_escape( &mut self, ) -> Option<(OverlayId, Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>)>

Try to dismiss an overlay on Escape, respecting DismissBehavior.

Scans the stack top-down for the first overlay that Escape may close, rather than consulting only stack.last(). Two reasons:

• A hover-opened overlay (PointerLeave — every shown tooltip) is Escape-dismissible. WCAG 2.2 SC 1.4.13(a) requires content shown on hover to be dismissible without moving the pointer, and Escape is that mechanism; previously no key could close a plain tooltip.
• A tooltip lives on the same stack as whatever it is anchored inside. Hovering a menu item long enough to raise its tooltip put a non-Escape overlay on top, so Escape silently did nothing at all until the tooltip’s own 100 ms leave-grace expired — the keystroke was swallowed, not forwarded to the menu underneath.

Manual overlays still block the scan: they are modal-ish by construction and own the keystroke.

pub fn set_top_focus_restore(&mut self, focus_restore: WidgetId)

Set the focus_restore target for the topmost overlay.

pub fn dismiss_all(&mut self) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Dismiss all overlays. Returns the content widget IDs of all dismissed overlays. Fires every dismissed overlay’s on_dismiss callback after the stack is cleared — same contract as dismiss, so wrappers like PopoverButton’s popover_open signal flip back to false when a MenuItem fires ctx.dismiss_all_overlays(). Without this, the trigger’s next click would observe stale-true and silently retoggle instead of reopening the menu.

pub fn dismiss_except(&mut self, keep: &HashSet<WidgetId>) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Dismiss every overlay whose content is not in keep, running each dismissed overlay’s on_dismiss. Used when opening a context menu: any overlay that contains the right-clicked widget (e.g. the modal the editor lives in) is kept, so the menu doesn’t tear down its own host.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Whether there are any active overlays.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Number of active overlays.

pub fn active_content_ids(&self) -> Vec<WidgetId>

Get all active overlay content widget IDs (for rendering).

pub fn active_ids(&self) -> Vec<OverlayId>

Get all active overlay IDs (for testing/querying). Excludes overlays currently fading out — once a dismiss has been requested the overlay is conceptually gone (the visible opacity tween is on the way to 0 and the deferred removal will fire on the next layout pass after the fade-out completes), so user code asking “is this overlay still up?” gets the expected answer.

pub fn anchor_for(&self, id: OverlayId) -> Option<WidgetId>

Get the anchor widget for an overlay.

pub fn interactive_rects(&self) -> Vec<Rect>

Screen rects of every overlay that is currently interactive — open and not yet fading out, the same predicate hit_test uses to route pointer events. Zero-area entries are skipped: an overlay shown this frame has not been through its first layout pass yet (bounds == Rect::ZERO), and a degenerate rect must not be mistaken for a hit at the origin.

Consumed by the paint pass, which hands the list to Widget::after_paint via WidgetTreeView so chrome aggregators can subtract floating content from the regions they publish — TitleBar carves these out of the OS caption so an overlay above the title bar (the hamburger MenuBar’s revealed bar, a tall modal) stays clickable on Windows instead of dragging the window.

pub fn hit_test(&self, point: Point) -> Option<OverlayId>

Check if a point hits any overlay (topmost first). Returns the overlay ID if hit, None if the point is outside all overlays.

Overlays whose fade-out has begun are skipped — the same predicate active_ids uses. A dismissed-but-still-fading overlay lingers in the stack until process_pending_fade_dismissals removes it; treating it as hittable would route clicks into the vanishing content (and suppress outside-click dismissal of the overlays beneath it) for the whole fade duration.

pub fn handle_click_outside( &mut self, point: Point, ) -> (Vec<WidgetId>, Option<WidgetId>, Vec<WidgetId>)

Handle a click-outside event: if the click is outside all overlays with ClickOutside dismiss behavior, dismiss them. Returns the content widget IDs of dismissed overlays (empty if none) and the focus-restore target — the widget that was focused before the bottommost dismissed overlay opened. Topmost overlays’ focus_restore would point inside an overlay that’s also being dismissed in the same pass, which would leave focus on a dormant widget; the bottommost target represents focus before any of the dismissed overlays opened. Aligns the click-outside path with the Esc / ArrowLeft-cascade paths, both of which already restore focus from the dismissed overlay.

The third return value lists the anchor widgets of the dismissed click-opened overlays (ClickOutside / EscapeOrClickOutside). The dispatcher consumes a primary press that lands on one of these anchors so the trigger merely closes its overlay rather than reopening it; every other dismiss-press falls through to the widget under the cursor (so one click both dismisses the overlay and activates the control beneath). Hover-opened (PointerLeave) overlays contribute no anchor — a press on their anchor passes through, e.g. clicking a button that still has its tooltip up.

pub fn position_overlays( &mut self, anchor_bounds_fn: impl Fn(WidgetId) -> Option<Rect>, viewport: (f32, f32), layout_direction: LayoutDirection, )

Compute overlay positions based on anchor bounds. Called after layout to position overlays correctly. viewport is (width, height) used for clamping overlays to the visible area.

anchor_bounds_fn returns None when the anchor widget is no longer in the arena (destroyed by a host’s rebuild while the overlay is still up). In that case the overlay’s bounds are left untouched — keeping it at its last valid position rather than collapsing to the (0,0) origin from a Rect::ZERO fallback.

pub fn set_content_bounds(&mut self, id: OverlayId, size: Size)

Set the content bounds for an overlay (after its content has been laid out).

pub fn find_by_content(&self, content_id: WidgetId) -> Option<OverlayId>

Get overlay by content widget ID (for routing events to the correct overlay).

pub fn bounds_for_content(&self, content_id: WidgetId) -> Option<Rect>

Convenience accessor for the safe-triangle hover gate: returns the bounds rect of the open overlay whose root content widget id matches content_id, or None when no such overlay is active. Equivalent to find_by_content + bounds_for chained.

pub fn set_dismiss(&mut self, id: OverlayId, behavior: DismissBehavior)

Change the dismiss behavior of an active overlay in place.

Used by rich tooltips that promote from “ephemeral hover” to “sticky panel” after a dwell timer: at t=2s the tooltip calls this to swap PointerLeave for EscapeOrClickOutside, so the overlay stops vanishing the moment the pointer leaves the anchor. Also cancels any in-flight pointer-leave countdown.
