Gtk::Adjustmentwrap (GtkAdjustment* object, bool take_copy=false)
 A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Detailed Description

A class representing an adjustable bounded value.

The Gtk::Adjustment object represents a value which has an associated lower and upper bound, together with step and page increments, and a page size. It is used within several gtkmm widgets, including Gtk::SpinButton, Gtk::Viewport, and Gtk::Range (which is a base class for Gtk::HScrollbar, Gtk::VScrollbar, Gtk::HScale, and Gtk::VScale).

The Gtk::Adjustment object does not update the value itself. Instead it is left up to the owner of the Gtk::Adjustment to control the value.

The owner of the Gtk::Adjustment typically calls the value_changed() and changed() functions after changing the value and its bounds. This results in the emission of the "value_changed" or "changed" signal respectively.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::Adjustment::~Adjustment (  )  [virtual]
Gtk::Adjustment::Adjustment ( double  value,
double  lower,
double  upper,
double  step_increment = 1,
double  page_increment = 10,
double  page_size = 0 
)

Constructor to create an Adjustment object.

Parameters:
value The initial value
lower The minimum value
upper The maximum value
step_increment The step increment
page_increment The page increment
page_size The page size

Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::Adjustment::changed (  ) 

Emits a "changed" signal from the Adjustment.

This is typically called by the owner of the Adjustment after it has changed any of the Adjustment fields other than the value.

void Gtk::Adjustment::clamp_page ( double  lower,
double  upper 
)

Updates the Adjustment value to ensure that the range between the parameters lower and upper is in the current page (i.e. between value and value + page_size).

If this range is larger than the page size, then only the start of it will be in the current page. A "changed" signal will be emitted if the value is changed.

Parameters:
upper The upper value.
lower The lower value.
void Gtk::Adjustment::configure ( double  value,
double  lower,
double  upper,
double  step_increment,
double  page_increment,
double  page_size 
)

Sets all properties of the adjustment at once.

Use this function to avoid multiple emissions of the "changed" signal. See set_lower() for an alternative way of compressing multiple emissions of "changed" into one.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
value The new value.
lower The new minimum value.
upper The new maximum value.
step_increment The new step increment.
page_increment The new page increment.
page_size The new page size.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_lower (  )  const

Retrieves the minimum value of the adjustment.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The current minimum value of the adjustment.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_page_increment (  )  const

Retrieves the page increment of the adjustment.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The current page increment of the adjustment.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_page_size (  )  const

Retrieves the page size of the adjustment.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The current page size of the adjustment.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_step_increment (  )  const

Retrieves the step increment of the adjustment.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The current step increment of the adjustment.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_upper (  )  const

Retrieves the maximum value of the adjustment.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The current maximum value of the adjustment.
double Gtk::Adjustment::get_value (  )  const

Gets the current value of the adjustment.

See set_value().

Returns:
The current value of the adjustment.
const GtkAdjustment* Gtk::Adjustment::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Object.

GtkAdjustment* Gtk::Adjustment::gobj (  )  [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Object.

virtual void Gtk::Adjustment::on_changed (  )  [protected, virtual]
virtual void Gtk::Adjustment::on_value_changed (  )  [protected, virtual]
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_lower ( double  lower  ) 

Sets the minimum value of the adjustment.

When setting multiple adjustment properties via their individual setters, multiple "changed" signals will be emitted. However, since the emission of the "changed" signal is tied to the emission of the "GObject::notify" signals of the changed properties, it's possible to compress the "changed" signals into one by calling Glib::object_freeze_notify() and Glib::object_thaw_notify() around the calls to the individual setters.

Alternatively, using a single Glib::object_set() for all the properties to change, or using configure() has the same effect of compressing "changed" emissions.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
lower The new minimum value.
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_page_increment ( double  page_increment  ) 

Sets the page increment of the adjustment.

See set_lower() about how to compress multiple emissions of the "changed" signal when setting multiple adjustment properties.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
page_increment The new page increment.
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_page_size ( double  page_size  ) 

Sets the page size of the adjustment.

See set_lower() about how to compress multiple emissions of the "changed" signal when setting multiple adjustment properties.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
page_size The new page size.
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_step_increment ( double  step_increment  ) 

Sets the step increment of the adjustment.

See set_lower() about how to compress multiple emissions of the "changed" signal when setting multiple adjustment properties.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
step_increment The new step increment.
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_upper ( double  upper  ) 

Sets the maximum value of the adjustment.

Note that values will be restricted by <literal>upper - page-size</literal> if the page-size property is nonzero.

See set_lower() about how to compress multiple emissions of the "changed" signal when setting multiple adjustment properties.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Parameters:
upper The new maximum value.
void Gtk::Adjustment::set_value ( double  value  ) 

Sets the current value of the Adjustment.

Parameters:
value The new value of the Adjustment.
Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Adjustment::signal_changed (  ) 
Prototype:
void on_my_changed()
Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::Adjustment::signal_value_changed (  ) 
Prototype:
void on_my_value_changed()
void Gtk::Adjustment::value_changed (  ) 

Emits a "value_changed" signal from the Adjustment.

This is typically called by the owner of the Adjustment after it has changed the Adjustment value field.
