Description

GtkRange is the common base class for widgets which visualize an adjustment, e.g scales or scrollbars.

Apart from signals for monitoring the parameters of the adjustment, GtkRange provides properties and methods for influencing the sensitivity of the "steppers". It also provides properties and methods for setting a "fill level" on range widgets. See gtk_range_set_fill_level().

Details

struct GtkRange

struct GtkRange;


gtk_range_get_fill_level ()

gdouble             gtk_range_get_fill_level            (GtkRange *range);

Gets the current position of the fill level indicator.

range :

A GtkRange

Returns :

The current fill level

Since 2.12


gtk_range_get_restrict_to_fill_level ()

gboolean            gtk_range_get_restrict_to_fill_level
                                                        (GtkRange *range);

Gets whether the range is restricted to the fill level.

range :

A GtkRange

Returns :

TRUE if range is restricted to the fill level.

Since 2.12


gtk_range_get_show_fill_level ()

gboolean            gtk_range_get_show_fill_level       (GtkRange *range);

Gets whether the range displays the fill level graphically.

range :

A GtkRange

Returns :

TRUE if range shows the fill level.

Since 2.12


gtk_range_set_fill_level ()

void                gtk_range_set_fill_level            (GtkRange *range,
                                                         gdouble fill_level);

Set the new position of the fill level indicator.

The "fill level" is probably best described by its most prominent use case, which is an indicator for the amount of pre-buffering in a streaming media player. In that use case, the value of the range would indicate the current play position, and the fill level would be the position up to which the file/stream has been downloaded.

This amount of prebuffering can be displayed on the range's trough and is themeable separately from the trough. To enable fill level display, use gtk_range_set_show_fill_level(). The range defaults to not showing the fill level.

Additionally, it's possible to restrict the range's slider position to values which are smaller than the fill level. This is controller by gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level() and is by default enabled.

range :

a GtkRange

fill_level :

the new position of the fill level indicator

Since 2.12


gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level ()

void                gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level
                                                        (GtkRange *range,
                                                         gboolean restrict_to_fill_level);

Sets whether the slider is restricted to the fill level. See gtk_range_set_fill_level() for a general description of the fill level concept.

                                                         gboolean show_fill_level);

gtk_range_get_adjustment ()

GtkAdjustment *     gtk_range_get_adjustment            (GtkRange *range);

Get the GtkAdjustment which is the "model" object for GtkRange. See gtk_range_set_adjustment() for details. The return value does not have a reference added, so should not be unreferenced.

range :

a GtkRange

Returns :

a GtkAdjustment. [transfer none]

gtk_range_set_update_policy ()

void                gtk_range_set_update_policy         (GtkRange *range,
                                                         GtkUpdateType policy);

Warning

gtk_range_set_update_policy has been deprecated since version 2.24 and should not be used in newly-written code. There is no replacement. If you require delayed updates, you need to code it yourself.

Sets the update policy for the range. GTK_UPDATE_CONTINUOUS means that anytime the range slider is moved, the range value will change and the value_changed signal will be emitted. GTK_UPDATE_DELAYED means that the value will be updated after a brief timeout where no slider motion occurs, so updates are spaced by a short time rather than continuous. GTK_UPDATE_DISCONTINUOUS means that the value will only be updated when the user releases the button and ends the slider drag operation.

range :

a GtkRange

policy :

update policy

gtk_range_set_adjustment ()

void                gtk_range_set_adjustment            (GtkRange *range,
                                                         GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

Sets the adjustment to be used as the "model" object for this range widget. The adjustment indicates the current range value, the minimum and maximum range values, the step/page increments used for keybindings and scrolling, and the page size. The page size is normally 0 for GtkScale and nonzero for GtkScrollbar, and indicates the size of the visible area of the widget being scrolled. The page size affects the size of the scrollbar slider.

range :

a GtkRange

adjustment :

a GtkAdjustment

gtk_range_get_inverted ()

gboolean            gtk_range_get_inverted              (GtkRange *range);

Gets the value set by gtk_range_set_inverted().

range :

a GtkRange

Returns :

TRUE if the range is inverted

gtk_range_set_inverted ()

void                gtk_range_set_inverted              (GtkRange *range,
                                                         gboolean setting);

Ranges normally move from lower to higher values as the slider moves from top to bottom or left to right. Inverted ranges have higher values at the top or on the right rather than on the bottom or left.

range :

a GtkRange

setting :

TRUE to invert the range

gtk_range_get_update_policy ()

GtkUpdateType       gtk_range_get_update_policy         (GtkRange *range);

Warning

Gets the update policy of range. See gtk_range_set_update_policy().

range :

a GtkRange

Returns :

the current update policy

                                                         gdouble page);

Signal Details

                                                        gdouble   arg1,
                                                        gpointer  user_data)      : Run Last

range :

the object which received the signal.

user_data :

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

The "change-value" signal

gboolean            user_function                      (GtkRange     *range,
                                                        GtkScrollType scroll,
                                                        gdouble       value,
                                                        gpointer      user_data)      : Run Last

The ::change-value signal is emitted when a scroll action is performed on a range. It allows an application to determine the type of scroll event that occurred and the resultant new value. The application can handle the event itself and return TRUE to prevent further processing. Or, by returning FALSE, it can pass the event to other handlers until the default GTK+ handler is reached.

The value parameter is unrounded. An application that overrides the ::change-value signal is responsible for clamping the value to the desired number of decimal digits; the default GTK+ handler clamps the value based on "round_digits".

It is not possible to use delayed update policies in an overridden ::change-value handler.

range :

the range that received the signal

scroll :

the type of scroll action that was performed

value :

the new value resulting from the scroll action

returns :

TRUE to prevent other handlers from being invoked for the signal, FALSE to propagate the signal further

user_data :

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.6


The "move-slider" signal
