## Functions

### e_shell_content_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    e_shell_content_new (struct _EShellView *shell_view);

Creates a new EShellContent instance belonging to `shell_view` .

#### Parameters

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` .

#### Parameters

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()`).

#### Parameters

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()`.

#### Parameters

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.

#### Parameters

shell_content | an EShellContent |

#### Returns

the EAlertBar for `shell_content`

### e_shell_content_get_shell_view ()

    e_shell_content_get_shell_view (EShellContent *shell_content);

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

#### Parameters

shell_content | an EShellContent |

#### Returns

the EShellView to which `shell_content` belongs

    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);
