GtkScrolledWindow Adds scrollbars to its child widget. #GtkScrolledWindow is a #GtkBin subclass: it's a container the accepts a single child widget. #GtkScrolledWindow adds scrollbars to the child widget. The scrolled window can work in two ways. Some widgets have native scrolling support; these widgets have "slots" for #GtkAdjustment objects. The scrolled window installs #GtkAdjustment objects in the child window's slots using the set_scroll_adjustments_signal, found in #GtkWidgetClass. (Conceptually, these widgets implement a "Scrollable" interface; because GTK+ 1.2 lacks multiple inheritance, this interface is hackily implemented as a signal in #GtkWidgetClass.) The second way to use the scrolled window is useful with widgets that lack the set_scroll_adjustments_signal. The #GtkViewport widget acts as a proxy, implementing scrollability for child widgets that lack their own scrolling capabilities. If a widget has native scrolling abilities, it can be added to the #GtkScrolledWindow with gtk_container_add(). If a widget does not, you must first add the widget to a #GtkViewport, then add the GtkViewport to the scrolled window. The convenience function gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport() does exactly this, so you can ignore the presence of the viewport. #GtkViewport, #GtkAdjustment, #GtkWidgetClass There are no public fields in the #GtkScrolledWindow struct; it should only be accessed using the functions below. 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. @hadjustment: Horizontal adjustment. @vadjustment: Vertical adjustment. @Returns: New scrolled window. Returns the horizontal scrollbar's adjustment, used to connect the horizontal scrollbar to the child widget's horizontal scroll functionality. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @Returns: The horizontal #GtkAdjustment. Returns the vertical scrollbar's adjustment, used to connect the vertical scrollbar to the child widget's vertical scroll functionality. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @Returns: The vertical #GtkAdjustment. 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). @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @hscrollbar_policy: Policy for horizontal bar. @vscrollbar_policy: Policy for vertical bar. 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 #GtkCList with a viewport, the whole widget will scroll, including the column headings. Thus #GtkCList supports scrolling already, and should not be used with the #GtkViewport proxy. A widget supports scrolling natively if the set_scroll_adjustments_signal field in #GtkWidgetClass is non-zero, i.e. has been filled in with a valid signal identifier. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @child: Widget you want to scroll. Determines the location of the child widget with respect to the scrollbars. The default is %GTK_CORNER_TOP_LEFT, meaning the child is in the top left, with the scrollbars underneath and to the right. Other values in #GtkCornerType are %GTK_CORNER_TOP_RIGHT, %GTK_CORNER_BOTTOM_LEFT, and %GTK_CORNER_BOTTOM_RIGHT. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @window_placement: Position of the child window. @scrolled_window: @type: Sets the #GtkAdjustment for the horizontal scrollbar. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @hadjustment: Horizontal scroll adjustment. Sets the #GtkAdjustment for the vertical scrollbar. @scrolled_window: A #GtkScrolledWindow. @hadjustment: @vadjustment: Vertical scroll adjustment. Horizontal adjustment. See gtk_scrolled_window_set_hadjustment(), gtk_scrolled_window_get_hadjustment(). Vertical adjustment. See gtk_scrolled_window_set_vadjustment(), gtk_scrolled_window_get_vadjustment(). Horizontal scrollbar policy (show scrollbar always, never, or "when appropriate"). Vertical scrollbar policy (show scrollbar always, never, or "when appropriate"). Position of child window with respect to scrollbars; top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right.
