gtk.SpinButton
- class
SpinButton
: gtk.Entry.Entry, gtk.OrientableIF.OrientableIF;
- A #GtkSpinButton is an ideal way to allow the user to set the value of
some attribute. Rather than having to directly type a number into a
#GtkEntry, GtkSpinButton 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 GtkSpinButton are through an adjustment.
See the #GtkAdjustment section for more details about an adjustment's
properties. Note that GtkSpinButton will by default make its entry
large enough to accomodate the lower and upper bounds of the adjustment,
which can lead to surprising results. Best practice is to set both
the #GtkEntry:width-chars and #GtkEntry:max-width-chars poperties
to the desired number of characters to display in the entry.

GtkSpinButtons 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 GtkEntry subnodes (if present) are put
below the entry node. The orientation of the spin button is reflected in
the .vertical or .horizontal style class on the main node.

- this(Adjustment adjustment, double climbRate, uint digits);
- Creates a new #GtkSpinButton.
Params:
Adjustment adjustment |
the #GtkAdjustment object that this spin
button should use, or %NULL |
double climbRate |

Returns:
The new spin button as a #GtkWidget
Throws:

- this(double min, double max, double 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.
Params:
double min |
Minimum allowable value |
double max |
Maximum allowable value |
double step |
Increment added or subtracted by spinning the widget |
Returns:
The new spin button as a #GtkWidget
Throws:
ConstructionException GTK+ fails to create the object.

addOnChangeValue
(void delegate(GtkScrollType, SpinButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags = cast(ConnectFlags)0);
- The ::change-value signal is a [keybinding signal][GtkBindingSignal]
which gets emitted when the user initiates a value change.
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 and/PageDown.
Params:
scroll |
a #GtkScrollType to specify the speed and amount of change |
- gulong
addOnInput
(int delegate(void*, SpinButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags = cast(ConnectFlags)0);
- The ::input signal can be used to influence the conversion of
the users input into a double value. The signal handler is
expected to use gtk_entry_get_text() to retrieve the text of
the entry and set @new_value to the new value.
The default conversion uses g_strtod().
Params:
newValue |
return location for the new value |
Returns:
%TRUE for a successful conversion, %FALSE if the input
was not handled, and %GTK_INPUT_ERROR if the conversion failed.
- gulong
addOnOutput
(bool delegate(SpinButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags = cast(ConnectFlags)0);
- The ::output signal can be used to change to formatting
of the value that is displayed in the spin buttons entry.

gpointer data)
{
GtkAdjustment *adjustment;
gchar *text;
int value;
adjustment = gtk_spin_button_get_adjustment (spin);

return TRUE;
}
]|
Returns:
%TRUE if the value has been displayed
- gulong
addOnValueChanged
(void delegate(SpinButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags = cast(ConnectFlags)0);
- The ::value-changed signal is emitted when the value represented by
@spinbutton changes. Also see the #GtkSpinButton::output signal.
- gulong
addOnWrapped
(void delegate(SpinButton) dlg, ConnectFlags connectFlags = cast(ConnectFlags)0);
- The ::wrapped signal is emitted right after the spinbutton wraps
from its maximum to minimum value or vice-versa.
