Expand description

A SpinButton is an ideal way to allow the user to set the value of some attribute.

An example GtkSpinButton

Rather than having to directly type a number into a Entry, SpinButton allows the user to click on one of two arrows to increment or decrement the displayed value. A value can still be typed in, with the bonus that it can be checked to ensure it is in a given range.

The main properties of a SpinButton are through an adjustment. See the Adjustment documentation for more details about an adjustment’s properties.

Note that SpinButton will by default make its entry large enough to accommodate the lower and upper bounds of the adjustment. If this is not desired, the automatic sizing can be turned off by explicitly setting width-chars to a value != -1.

Using a GtkSpinButton to get an integer

⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

// Provides a function to retrieve an integer value from a GtkSpinButton
// and creates a spin button to model percentage values.

int
grab_int_value (GtkSpinButton *button,
                gpointer       user_data)
{
  return gtk_spin_button_get_value_as_int (button);
}

void
create_integer_spin_button (void)
{

  GtkWidget *window, *button;
  GtkAdjustment *adjustment;

  adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (50.0, 0.0, 100.0, 1.0, 5.0, 0.0);

  window = gtk_window_new ();

  // creates the spinbutton, with no decimal places
  button = gtk_spin_button_new (adjustment, 1.0, 0);
  gtk_window_set_child (GTK_WINDOW (window), button);

  gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (window));
}

Using a GtkSpinButton to get a floating point value

⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

// Provides a function to retrieve a floating point value from a
// GtkSpinButton, and creates a high precision spin button.

float
grab_float_value (GtkSpinButton *button,
                  gpointer       user_data)
{
  return gtk_spin_button_get_value (button);
}

void
create_floating_spin_button (void)
{
  GtkWidget *window, *button;
  GtkAdjustment *adjustment;

  adjustment = gtk_adjustment_new (2.500, 0.0, 5.0, 0.001, 0.1, 0.0);

  window = gtk_window_new ();

  // creates the spinbutton, with three decimal places
  button = gtk_spin_button_new (adjustment, 0.001, 3);
  gtk_window_set_child (GTK_WINDOW (window), button);

  gtk_window_present (GTK_WINDOW (window));
}

SpinButtons main CSS node has the name spinbutton. It creates subnodes for the entry and the two buttons, with these names. The button nodes have the style classes .up and .down. The Text subnodes (if present) are put below the text node. The orientation of the spin button is reflected in the .vertical or .horizontal style class on the main node.

SpinButton uses the AccessibleRole::SpinButton role.

Signals

`change-value`

Emitted when the user initiates a value change.

This is a keybinding signal.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal are Up/Down and PageUp/PageDown.

Action

`input`

Emitted to convert the users input into a double value.

The signal handler is expected to use EditableExt::text() to retrieve the text of the spinbutton and set @new_value to the new value.

The default conversion uses g_strtod().

`output`

Emitted to tweak the formatting of the value for display.

⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

// show leading zeros
static gboolean
on_output (GtkSpinButton *spin,
           gpointer       data)
{
   GtkAdjustment *adjustment;
   char *text;
   int value;

   adjustment = gtk_spin_button_get_adjustment (spin);
   value = (int)gtk_adjustment_get_value (adjustment);
   text = g_strdup_printf ("%02d", value);
   gtk_editable_set_text (GTK_EDITABLE (spin), text):
   g_free (text);

   return TRUE;
}

`value-changed`

Emitted when the value is changed.

Also see the output signal.

`wrapped`

Emitted right after the spinbutton wraps from its maximum to its minimum value or vice-versa.

Widget

`destroy`

Signals that all holders of a reference to the widget should release the reference that they hold.

May result in finalization of the widget if all references are released.

This signal is not suitable for saving widget state.

`direction-changed`

Emitted when the text direction of a widget changes.

`hide`

Emitted when @widget is hidden.

`keynav-failed`

Emitted if keyboard navigation fails.

See WidgetExt::keynav_failed() for details.

`map`

Emitted when @widget is going to be mapped.

A widget is mapped when the widget is visible (which is controlled with visible) and all its parents up to the toplevel widget are also visible.

The ::map signal can be used to determine whether a widget will be drawn, for instance it can resume an animation that was stopped during the emission of unmap.

`mnemonic-activate`

Emitted when a widget is activated via a mnemonic.

The default handler for this signal activates @widget if @group_cycling is false, or just makes @widget grab focus if @group_cycling is true.

`move-focus`

Emitted when the focus is moved.

The ::move-focus signal is a keybinding signal.

The default bindings for this signal are Tab to move forward, and Shift+Tab to move backward.

Action

Emitted when the widgets tooltip is about to be shown.

This happens when the has-tooltip property is true and the hover timeout has expired with the cursor hovering “above” @widget; or emitted when @widget got focus in keyboard mode.

Using the given coordinates, the signal handler should determine whether a tooltip should be shown for @widget. If this is the case true should be returned, false otherwise. Note that if @keyboard_mode is true, the values of @x and @y are undefined and should not be used.

The signal handler is free to manipulate @tooltip with the therefore destined function calls.

`realize`

Emitted when @widget is associated with a gdk::Surface.

This means that WidgetExt::realize() has been called or the widget has been mapped (that is, it is going to be drawn).

`show`

Emitted when @widget is shown.

`state-flags-changed`

Emitted when the widget state changes.

See WidgetExt::state_flags().

`unmap`

Emitted when @widget is going to be unmapped.

A widget is unmapped when either it or any of its parents up to the toplevel widget have been set as hidden.

As ::unmap indicates that a widget will not be shown any longer, it can be used to, for example, stop an animation on the widget.

`unrealize`

Emitted when the gdk::Surface associated with @widget is destroyed.

This means that WidgetExt::unrealize() has been called or the widget has been unmapped (that is, it is going to be hidden).

CellEditable

`editing-done`

This signal is a sign for the cell renderer to update its value from the @cell_editable.

Implementations of CellEditable are responsible for emitting this signal when they are done editing, e.g. Entry emits this signal when the user presses Enter. Typical things to do in a handler for ::editing-done are to capture the edited value, disconnect the @cell_editable from signals on the CellRenderer, etc.

gtk_cell_editable_editing_done() is a convenience method for emitting GtkCellEditable::editing-done.

This signal is meant to indicate that the cell is finished editing, and the @cell_editable widget is being removed and may subsequently be destroyed.

Implementations of CellEditable are responsible for emitting this signal when they are done editing. It must be emitted after the GtkCellEditable::editing-done signal, to give the cell renderer a chance to update the cell’s value before the widget is removed.

gtk_cell_editable_remove_widget() is a convenience method for emitting GtkCellEditable::remove-widget.

Editable

`changed`

Emitted at the end of a single user-visible operation on the contents.

E.g., a paste operation that replaces the contents of the selection will cause only one signal emission (even though it is implemented by first deleting the selection, then inserting the new content, and may cause multiple ::notify::text signals to be emitted).

`delete-text`

Emitted when text is deleted from the widget by the user.

The default handler for this signal will normally be responsible for deleting the text, so by connecting to this signal and then stopping the signal with g_signal_stop_emission(), it is possible to modify the range of deleted text, or prevent it from being deleted entirely.

The @start_pos and @end_pos parameters are interpreted as for EditableExt::delete_text().

`insert-text`

Emitted when text is inserted into the widget by the user.

The default handler for this signal will normally be responsible for inserting the text, so by connecting to this signal and then stopping the signal with g_signal_stop_emission(), it is possible to modify the inserted text, or prevent it from being inserted entirely.
