Detailed Description

A GtkAdjustment C++ wrapper class.

The 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 widgets, including SpinButton, Viewport, and Range (which is a base class for HScrollbar, VScrollbar, HScale, and VScale).

The Adjustment object does not update the value itself. Instead it is left up to the owner of the Adjustment to control the value. The owner of the Adjustment typically calls the value_changed() and changed() methods after changing the value and its bounds. This results in the emission of the value_changed or changed signal respectively.

See also: the Adjustment and Range Widget HOWTOs and example.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::Adjustment GtkAdjustment *  adjustment,
bool  owns_reference = false
[explicit, protected]
 

Construct a new Adjustment from an existing GtkAdjustment.

Parameters:
adjustment A pointer to a GtkAdjustment.
owns_reference Set false if the initial reference count is floating, set true if it's not.
The adjustment can be a newly created GtkAdjustment or an existing GtkAdjustment. (see G::Object::Object).

Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::Adjustment double  lower,
double  upper,
double  step_increment,
double  page_increment,
double  page_size
 

Construct a new Adjustment.

Parameters:
lower The minimum value.
upper The maximum value.
step_increment The step increment.
page_increment The page increment.
page_size The page size.
The step_increment is the increment to use to make minor changes to the value. In a Scrollbar this increment is used when the mouse is clicked on the arrows at the top and bottom of the scrollbar, to scroll by a small amount. The page_increment is the increment to use to make major changes to the value. In a Scrollbar this increment is used when the mouse is clicked in the trough, to scroll by a large amount. The page size in a Scrollbar is the size of the area which is currently visible.

Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::Adjustment double  value,
double  lower,
double  upper,
double  step_increment,
double  page_increment,
double  page_size
 

Construct a new Adjustment.

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.
The step increment is the increment to use to make minor changes to the value. The page increment is the increment to use to make major changes to the value.


Member Function Documentation

void Xfc::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 Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::clamp_page double  lower,
double  upper
 

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

between value and value + page_size).

Parameters:
lower The lower value.
upper The upper value.
If the 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.

void Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::set_range double  lower,
double  upper,
double  step_increment,
double  page_increment,
double  page_size
 

Sets the Adjustment fields other than the value.

Parameters:
lower The minimum value.
upper The maximum value.
step_increment The step increment.
page_increment The page increment.
page_size The page size.
The step increment is the increment to use to make minor changes to the value. The page increment is the increment to use to make major changes to the value.

void Xfc::Gtk::Adjustment::set_value double  value  ) 
 

Sets the Adjustment value.

Parameters:
value The new value.

void Xfc::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.


Member Data Documentation
