## Description

GtkRange is the common base class for widgets which visualize an adjustment, e.g scales or scrollbars.

Apart from signals for monitoring the parameters of the adjustment, GtkRange provides properties and methods for influencing the sensitivity of the "steppers". It also provides properties and methods for setting a "fill level" on range widgets. See `gtk_range_set_fill_level()`.

## Details

### GtkRange

    typedef struct _GtkRange GtkRange;

### gtk_range_get_fill_level ()

    gdouble             gtk_range_get_fill_level            (GtkRange *range);

Gets the current position of the fill level indicator.

`range` : | A GtkRange
Returns : | The current fill level

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_get_restrict_to_fill_level ()

    gboolean            gtk_range_get_restrict_to_fill_level
                                                            (GtkRange *range);

Gets whether the range is restricted to the fill level.

`range` : | A GtkRange
Returns : | `TRUE` if `range` is restricted to the fill level.

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_get_show_fill_level ()

    gboolean            gtk_range_get_show_fill_level       (GtkRange *range);

Gets whether the range displays the fill level graphically.

`range` : | A GtkRange
Returns : | `TRUE` if `range` shows the fill level.

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_set_fill_level ()

    void                gtk_range_set_fill_level            (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gdouble fill_level);

Set the new position of the fill level indicator.

The "fill level" is probably best described by its most prominent use case, which is an indicator for the amount of pre-buffering in a streaming media player. In that use case, the value of the range would indicate the current play position, and the fill level would be the position up to which the file/stream has been downloaded.

This amount of prebuffering can be displayed on the range's trough and is themeable separately from the trough. To enable fill level display, use `gtk_range_set_show_fill_level()`. The range defaults to not showing the fill level.

Additionally, it's possible to restrict the range's slider position to values which are smaller than the fill level. This is controller by `gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level()` and is by default enabled.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`fill_level` : | the new position of the fill level indicator

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level ()

    void                gtk_range_set_restrict_to_fill_level
                                                            (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gboolean restrict_to_fill_level);

Sets whether the slider is restricted to the fill level. See `gtk_range_set_fill_level()` for a general description of the fill level concept.

`range` : | A GtkRange
`restrict_to_fill_level` : | Whether the fill level restricts slider movement.

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_set_show_fill_level ()

    void                gtk_range_set_show_fill_level       (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gboolean show_fill_level);

Sets whether a graphical fill level is show on the trough. See `gtk_range_set_fill_level()` for a general description of the fill level concept.

`range` : | A GtkRange
`show_fill_level` : | Whether a fill level indicator graphics is shown.

Since 2.12

### gtk_range_get_adjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment*      gtk_range_get_adjustment            (GtkRange *range);

Get the GtkAdjustment which is the "model" object for GtkRange. See `gtk_range_set_adjustment()` for details. The return value does not have a reference added, so should not be unreferenced.

`range` : | a GtkRange
Returns : | a GtkAdjustment

### gtk_range_set_update_policy ()

    void                gtk_range_set_update_policy         (GtkRange *range,
                                                             GtkUpdateType policy);

Sets the update policy for the range. GTK_UPDATE_CONTINUOUS means that anytime the range slider is moved, the range value will change and the value_changed signal will be emitted. GTK_UPDATE_DELAYED means that the value will be updated after a brief timeout where no slider motion occurs, so updates are spaced by a short time rather than continuous. GTK_UPDATE_DISCONTINUOUS means that the value will only be updated when the user releases the button and ends the slider drag operation.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`policy` : | update policy

### gtk_range_set_adjustment ()

    void                gtk_range_set_adjustment            (GtkRange *range,
                                                             GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

Sets the adjustment to be used as the "model" object for this range widget. The adjustment indicates the current range value, the minimum and maximum range values, the step/page increments used for keybindings and scrolling, and the page size. The page size is normally 0 for GtkScale and nonzero for GtkScrollbar, and indicates the size of the visible area of the widget being scrolled. The page size affects the size of the scrollbar slider.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`adjustment` : | a GtkAdjustment

### gtk_range_get_inverted ()

    gboolean            gtk_range_get_inverted              (GtkRange *range);

Gets the value set by `gtk_range_set_inverted()`.

`range` : | a GtkRange
Returns : | `TRUE` if the range is inverted

### gtk_range_set_inverted ()

    void                gtk_range_set_inverted              (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gboolean setting);

Ranges normally move from lower to higher values as the slider moves from top to bottom or left to right. Inverted ranges have higher values at the top or on the right rather than on the bottom or left.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`setting` : | `TRUE` to invert the range

### gtk_range_get_update_policy ()

    GtkUpdateType       gtk_range_get_update_policy         (GtkRange *range);

Gets the update policy of `range`. See `gtk_range_set_update_policy()`.

`range` : | a GtkRange
Returns : | the current update policy

### gtk_range_get_value ()

    gdouble             gtk_range_get_value                 (GtkRange *range);

Gets the current value of the range.

`range` : | a GtkRange
Returns : | current value of the range.

### gtk_range_set_increments ()

    void                gtk_range_set_increments            (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gdouble step,
                                                             gdouble page);

Sets the step and page sizes for the range. The step size is used when the user clicks the GtkScrollbar arrows or moves GtkScale via arrow keys. The page size is used for example when moving via Page Up or Page Down keys.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`step` : | step size
`page` : | page size

### gtk_range_set_range ()

    void                gtk_range_set_range                 (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gdouble min,
                                                             gdouble max);

Sets the allowable values in the GtkRange, and clamps the range value to be between `min` and `max`. (If the range has a non-zero page size, it is clamped between `min` and `max` - page-size.)

`range` : | a GtkRange
`min` : | minimum range value
`max` : | maximum range value

### gtk_range_set_value ()

    void                gtk_range_set_value                 (GtkRange *range,
                                                             gdouble value);

Sets the current value of the range; if the value is outside the minimum or maximum range values, it will be clamped to fit inside them. The range emits the "value-changed" signal if the value changes.

`range` : | a GtkRange
`value` : | new value of the range

### enum GtkSensitivityType

    typedef enum
    {
      GTK_SENSITIVITY_AUTO,

                                                            gdouble   arg1,
                                                            gpointer  user_data)      : Run Last

`range` : | the object which received the signal.
`arg1` : |
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### The `"change-value"` signal

    gboolean            user_function                      (GtkRange     *range,
                                                            GtkScrollType scroll,
                                                            gdouble       value,
                                                            gpointer      user_data)      : Run Last

The ::change-value signal is emitted when a scroll action is performed on a range. It allows an application to determine the type of scroll event that occurred and the resultant new value. The application can handle the event itself and return `TRUE` to prevent further processing. Or, by returning `FALSE`, it can pass the event to other handlers until the default GTK+ handler is reached.

The value parameter is unrounded. An application that overrides the ::change-value signal is responsible for clamping the value to the desired number of decimal digits; the default GTK+ handler clamps the value based on `range->round_digits`.

It is not possible to use delayed update policies in an overridden ::change-value handler.

`range` : | the range that received the signal
`scroll` : | the type of scroll action that was performed
`value` : | the new value resulting from the scroll action
`returns` : | `TRUE` to prevent other handlers from being invoked for the signal, `FALSE` to propagate the signal further
`user_data` : | user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Since 2.6

### The `"move-slider"` signal

    void                user_function                      (GtkRange     *range,
