Description

Functions

gtk_spin_button_configure ()

void
gtk_spin_button_configure (GtkSpinButton *spin_button,
                           GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                           gdouble climb_rate,
                           guint digits);

Changes the properties of an existing spin button. The adjustment, climb rate, and number of decimal places are all changed accordingly, after this function call.

Parameters

spin_button

a GtkSpinButton

 

adjustment

a GtkAdjustment.

[allow-none]

climb_rate

the new climb rate.

 

digits

the number of decimal places to display in the spin button.

 

gtk_spin_button_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_spin_button_new (GtkAdjustment *adjustment,
                     gdouble climb_rate,
                     guint digits);

gtk_spin_button_new_with_range ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_spin_button_new_with_range (gdouble min,
                                gdouble max,
                                gdouble step);

This is a convenience constructor that allows creation of a numeric GtkSpinButton without manually creating an adjustment. The value is initially set to the minimum value and a page increment of 10 * step is the default. The precision of the spin button is equivalent to the precision of step .

Note that the way in which the precision is derived works best if step is a power of ten. If the resulting precision is not suitable for your needs, use gtk_spin_button_set_digits() to correct it.

Parameters

min

Minimum allowable value

 

max

Maximum allowable value

 

step

Increment added or subtracted by spinning the widget

 

Returns

The new spin button as a GtkWidget.

Parameters

spin_button
