Description

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

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().

Functions

gtk_range_get_fill_level ()

gdouble
gtk_range_get_fill_level (GtkRange *range);

Gets the current position of the fill level indicator.

Parameters

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.

Parameters

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.

Parameters

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.

Parameters

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.

Parameters

range

A GtkRange

restrict_to_fill_level

Whether the fill level restricts slider movement.

Since: 2.12

gtk_range_set_show_fill_level ()

void
gtk_range_set_show_fill_level (GtkRange *range,
                               gboolean show_fill_level);

Sets whether a graphical fill level is show on the trough. See gtk_range_set_fill_level() for a general description of the fill level concept.

Parameters

range

A GtkRange

show_fill_level

Whether a fill level indicator graphics is shown.

Since: 2.12

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.

Parameters

range

a GtkRange

Returns

a GtkAdjustment.

[transfer none]

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.

Parameters

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().

Parameters

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.

Parameters

range

a GtkRange

setting

TRUE to invert the range

gtk_range_get_value ()

gdouble
gtk_range_get_value (GtkRange *range);

Gets the current value of the range.

Parameters

range

Returns

current value of the range.

gtk_range_set_value ()

void
gtk_range_set_value (GtkRange *range,
                     gdouble value);

Sets the current value of the range; if the value is outside the minimum or maximum range values, it will be clamped to fit inside them. The range emits the “value-changed” signal if the value changes.

Parameters

range

a GtkRange

value

new value of the range

Signal Details

The “adjust-bounds” signal

void
user_function (GtkRange *range,
               double    value,
               gpointer  user_data)

Emitted before clamping a value, to give the application a chance to adjust the bounds.

Parameters

range

the GtkRange that received the signal

value

the value before we clamp

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Run Last

The “change-value” signal

gboolean
user_function (GtkRange     *range,
               GtkScrollType scroll,
               double        value,
               gpointer      user_data)

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 GtkRange::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”.

Parameters

range

the GtkRange that received the signal

scroll

the type of scroll action that was performed

value

the new value resulting from the scroll action

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Returns

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

Flags: Run Last

Since: 2.6

The “move-slider” signal

void
user_function (GtkRange     *range,
               GtkScrollType step,
               gpointer      user_data)

Virtual function that moves the slider. Used for keybindings.

Parameters

range

the GtkRange that received the signal

step

how to move the slider

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Action

The “value-changed” signal

void
user_function (GtkRange *range,
               gpointer  user_data)

Emitted when the range value changes.

Parameters

range

the GtkRange that received the signal

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Run Last
