## Description

## Details

### struct EShellContent

    struct EShellContent;

Contains only private data that should be read and manipulated using the functions below.

### e_shell_content_new ()

    GtkWidget *         e_shell_content_new                 (struct _EShellView *shell_view);

Creates a new EShellContent instance belonging to `shell_view`.

`shell_view` : | an EShellView
Returns : | a new EShellContent instance

### e_shell_content_set_searchbar ()

    void                e_shell_content_set_searchbar       (EShellContent *shell_content,
                                                             GtkWidget *searchbar);

Packs `searchbar` at the top of `shell_content`.

`shell_content` : | an EShellContent
`searchbar` : | a GtkWidget, or `NULL`

### e_shell_content_check_state ()

    guint32             e_shell_content_check_state         (EShellContent *shell_content);

EShellContent subclasses should implement the <structfield>check_state</structfield> method in EShellContentClass to return a set of flags describing the current content selection. Subclasses are responsible for defining their own flags. This is primarily used to assist shell views with updating actions (see `e_shell_view_update_actions()`).

`shell_content` : | an EShellContent
Returns : | a set of flags describing the current `shell_content` selection

### e_shell_content_focus_search_results ()

    void                e_shell_content_focus_search_results
                                                            (EShellContent *shell_content);

EShellContent subclasses should implement the <structfield>focus_search_results</structfield> method in EShellContentClass to direct input focus to the widget displaying search results. This is usually called during `e_shell_view_execute_search()`.

`shell_content` : | an EShellContent

### e_shell_content_get_alert_bar ()

    GtkWidget *         e_shell_content_get_alert_bar       (EShellContent *shell_content);

Returns the EAlertBar used to display informational and error messages.

`shell_content` : | an EShellContent
Returns : | the EAlertBar for `shell_content`

### e_shell_content_get_shell_view ()

    struct _EShellView * e_shell_content_get_shell_view     (EShellContent *shell_content);

Returns the EShellView that was passed to `e_shell_content_new()`.

`shell_content` : | an EShellContent
Returns : | the EShellView to which `shell_content` belongs

### e_shell_content_run_advanced_search_dialog ()

    void                e_shell_content_run_advanced_search_dialog
                                                            (EShellContent *shell_content);

### e_shell_content_run_edit_searches_dialog ()

    void                e_shell_content_run_edit_searches_dialog
                                                            (EShellContent *shell_content);

### e_shell_content_run_save_search_dialog ()

    void                e_shell_content_run_save_search_dialog
                                                            (EShellContent *shell_content);
