Detailed Description

This interface is implemented by all widgets that can be oriented horizontally or vertically.

Historically, such widgets have been realized as subclasses of a common base class (e.g GtkBox/GtkHBox/GtkVBox and GtkScale/GtkHScale/GtkVScale). GtkOrientable is more flexible in that it allows the orientation to be changed at runtime, allowing the widgets to 'flip'.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gtk::Orientable::~Orientable ( ) [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

static void Gtk::Orientable::add_interface ( GType  gtype_implementer) [static]
Orientation Gtk::Orientable::get_orientation ( ) const

Retrieves the orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Returns:
The orientation of the orientable.
Glib::PropertyProxy<Orientation> Gtk::Orientable::property_orientation ( )

The orientation of the orientable.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Grid, and Gtk::ScaleButton.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<Orientation> Gtk::Orientable::property_orientation ( ) const

The orientation of the orientable.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

Reimplemented in Gtk::Grid, and Gtk::ScaleButton.

void Gtk::Orientable::set_orientation ( Orientation  orientation)

Sets the orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:
Parameters:
orientationThe orientable's new orientation.

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::Orientable > wrap ( GtkOrientable *  object,
bool  take_copy = false 
) [related]

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:
objectThe C instance.
take_copyFalse if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.
Returns:
A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
