Implemented Interfaces

GtkScrolledWindow implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

GtkScrolledWindow is a container that accepts a single child widget, makes that child scrollable using either internally added scrollbars or externally associated adjustments, and optionally draws a frame around the child.

Widgets with native scrolling support, i.e. those whose classes implement the GtkScrollable interface, are added directly. For other types of widget, the class GtkViewport acts as an adaptor, giving scrollability to other widgets. GtkScrolledWindow’s implementation of gtk_container_add() intelligently accounts for whether or not the added child is a GtkScrollable. If it isn’t, GtkScrolledWindow wraps the child in a GtkViewport and adds that for you. Therefore, you can just add any child widget and not worry about the details.

If gtk_container_add() has added a GtkViewport for you, you can remove both your added child widget from the GtkViewport, and the GtkViewport from the GtkScrolledWindow, like this:

GtkWidget *scrolled_window = gtk_scrolled_window_new (NULL, NULL);
GtkWidget *child_widget = gtk_button_new ();

// GtkButton is not a GtkScrollable, so GtkScrolledWindow will automatically
// add a GtkViewport.
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolled_window),
                   child_widget);

// Either of these will result in child_widget being unparented:
gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolled_window),
                      child_widget);
// or
gtk_container_remove (GTK_CONTAINER (scrolled_window),
                      gtk_bin_get_child (GTK_BIN (scrolled_window)));

Unless “policy” is GTK_POLICY_NEVER or GTK_POLICY_EXTERNAL, GtkScrolledWindow adds internal GtkScrollbar widgets around its child. The scroll position of the child, and if applicable the scrollbars, is controlled by the “hadjustment” and “vadjustment” that are associated with the GtkScrolledWindow. See the docs on GtkScrollbar for the details, but note that the “step_increment” and “page_increment” fields are only effective if the policy causes scrollbars to be present.

If a GtkScrolledWindow doesn’t behave quite as you would like, or doesn’t have exactly the right layout, it’s very possible to set up your own scrolling with GtkScrollbar and for example a GtkGrid.

Touch support

GtkScrolledWindow has built-in support for touch devices. When a touchscreen is used, swiping will move the scrolled window, and will expose 'kinetic' behavior. This can be turned off with the “kinetic-scrolling” property if it is undesired.

GtkScrolledWindow also displays visual 'overshoot' indication when the content is pulled beyond the end, and this situation can be captured with the “edge-overshot” signal.

If no mouse device is present, the scrollbars will overlayed as narrow, auto-hiding indicators over the content. If traditional scrollbars are desired although no mouse is present, this behaviour can be turned off with the “overlay-scrolling” property.


CSS nodes

GtkScrolledWindow has a main CSS node with name scrolledwindow.

It uses subnodes with names overshoot and undershoot to draw the overflow and underflow indications. These nodes get the .left, .right, .top or .bottom style class added depending on where the indication is drawn.

GtkScrolledWindow also sets the positional style classes (.left, .right, .top, .bottom) and style classes related to overlay scrolling (.overlay-indicator, .dragging, .hovering) on its scrollbars.

If both scrollbars are visible, the area where they meet is drawn with a subnode named junction.

Functions

gtk_scrolled_window_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_scrolled_window_new (GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                         GtkAdjustment *vadjustment);

Creates a new scrolled window.

The two arguments are the scrolled window’s adjustments; these will be shared with the scrollbars and the child widget to keep the bars in sync with the child. Usually you want to pass NULL for the adjustments, which will cause the scrolled window to create them for you.

Parameters

hadjustment

horizontal adjustment.

[nullable]

vadjustment

vertical adjustment.

[nullable]

Returns

a new scrolled window


gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment ()

GtkAdjustment *
gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window);

Returns the horizontal scrollbar’s adjustment, used to connect the horizontal scrollbar to the child widget’s horizontal scroll functionality.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

Returns

the horizontal GtkAdjustment.

[transfer none]


gtk_scrolled_window_set_hadjustment ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_set_hadjustment (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                     GtkAdjustment *hadjustment);

Sets the GtkAdjustment for the horizontal scrollbar.

Parameters

the vertical scrollbar of the scrolled window.

[transfer none]

Since: 2.8


gtk_scrolled_window_get_policy ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_get_policy (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                GtkPolicyType *hscrollbar_policy,
                                GtkPolicyType *vscrollbar_policy);

Retrieves the current policy values for the horizontal and vertical scrollbars. See gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy().

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

hscrollbar_policy

location to store the policy for the horizontal scrollbar, or NULL.

[out][optional]

vscrollbar_policy

location to store the policy for the vertical scrollbar, or NULL.

[out][optional]

gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_set_policy (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                GtkPolicyType hscrollbar_policy,
                                GtkPolicyType vscrollbar_policy);

Sets the scrollbar policy for the horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

The policy determines when the scrollbar should appear; it is a value from the GtkPolicyType enumeration. If GTK_POLICY_ALWAYS, the scrollbar is always present; if GTK_POLICY_NEVER, the scrollbar is never present; if GTK_POLICY_AUTOMATIC, the scrollbar is present only if needed (that is, if the slider part of the bar would be smaller than the trough — the display is larger than the page size).

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

hscrollbar_policy

policy for horizontal bar

 

vscrollbar_policy

policy for vertical bar

 

gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                       GtkWidget *child);

gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport has been deprecated since version 3.8 and should not be used in newly-written code.

gtk_container_add() will automatically add a GtkViewport if the child doesn’t implement GtkScrollable.

Used to add children without native scrolling capabilities. This is simply a convenience function; it is equivalent to adding the unscrollable child to a viewport, then adding the viewport to the scrolled window. If a child has native scrolling, use gtk_container_add() instead of this function.

The viewport scrolls the child by moving its GdkWindow, and takes the size of the child to be the size of its toplevel GdkWindow. This will be very wrong for most widgets that support native scrolling; for example, if you add a widget such as GtkTreeView with a viewport, the whole widget will scroll, including the column headings. Thus, widgets with native scrolling support should not be used with the GtkViewport proxy.

A widget supports scrolling natively if it implements the GtkScrollable interface.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

child

the widget you want to scroll

 

gtk_scrolled_window_get_placement ()

GtkCornerType
gtk_scrolled_window_get_placement (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window);

Returns the specified kinetic scrolling behavior.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

Returns

the scrolling behavior flags.

Since: 3.4


gtk_scrolled_window_set_kinetic_scrolling ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_set_kinetic_scrolling
                               (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                gboolean kinetic_scrolling);

Turns kinetic scrolling on or off. Kinetic scrolling only applies to devices with source GDK_SOURCE_TOUCHSCREEN.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

kinetic_scrolling

TRUE to enable kinetic scrolling

 

Since: 3.4


gtk_scrolled_window_get_capture_button_press ()

gboolean
gtk_scrolled_window_get_capture_button_press
                               (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window);

Return whether button presses are captured during kinetic scrolling. See gtk_scrolled_window_set_capture_button_press().

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

Returns

TRUE if button presses are captured during kinetic scrolling

Since: 3.4


gtk_scrolled_window_set_capture_button_press ()

void
gtk_scrolled_window_set_capture_button_press
                               (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
                                gboolean capture_button_press);

Changes the behaviour of scrolled_window with regard to the initial event that possibly starts kinetic scrolling. When capture_button_press is set to TRUE, the event is captured by the scrolled window, and then later replayed if it is meant to go to the child widget.

This should be enabled if any child widgets perform non-reversible actions on “button-press-event”. If they don't, and handle additionally handle “grab-broken-event”, it might be better to set capture_button_press to FALSE.

This setting only has an effect if kinetic scrolling is enabled.

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

capture_button_press

TRUE to capture button presses

Signal Details

The “edge-overshot” signal

void
user_function (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
               GtkPositionType    pos,
               gpointer           user_data)

The ::edge-overshot signal is emitted whenever user initiated scrolling makes the scrolled window firmly surpass (i.e. with some edge resistance) the lower or upper limits defined by the adjustment in that orientation.

A similar behavior without edge resistance is provided by the “edge-reached” signal.

Note: The pos argument is LTR/RTL aware, so callers should be aware too if intending to provide behavior on horizontal edges.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

pos

edge side that was hit

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last

Since: 3.16


The “edge-reached” signal

void
user_function (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
               GtkPositionType    pos,
               gpointer           user_data)

The ::edge-reached signal is emitted whenever user-initiated scrolling makes the scrolled window exactly reach the lower or upper limits defined by the adjustment in that orientation.

A similar behavior with edge resistance is provided by the “edge-overshot” signal.

Note: The pos argument is LTR/RTL aware, so callers should be aware too if intending to provide behavior on horizontal edges.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

pos

edge side that was reached

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run Last

Since: 3.16


The “move-focus-out” signal

void
user_function (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
               GtkDirectionType   direction_type,
               gpointer           user_data)

The ::move-focus-out signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when focus is moved away from the scrolled window by a keybinding. The “move-focus” signal is emitted with direction_type on this scrolled window’s toplevel parent in the container hierarchy. The default bindings for this signal are Ctrl + Tab to move forward and Ctrl + Shift + Tab to move backward.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

direction_type

either GTK_DIR_TAB_FORWARD or GTK_DIR_TAB_BACKWARD

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Action


The “scroll-child” signal

gboolean
user_function (GtkScrolledWindow *scrolled_window,
               GtkScrollType      scroll,
               gboolean           horizontal,
               gpointer           user_data)

The ::scroll-child signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when a keybinding that scrolls is pressed. The horizontal or vertical adjustment is updated which triggers a signal that the scrolled window’s child may listen to and scroll itself.

Parameters

scrolled_window

a GtkScrolledWindow

 

scroll

a GtkScrollType describing how much to scroll

 

horizontal

whether the keybinding scrolls the child horizontally or not

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Action
