Implemented Interfaces

GtkProgressBar implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable and GtkOrientable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

The GtkProgressBar is typically used to display the progress of a long running operation. It provides a visual clue that processing is underway. The GtkProgressBar can be used in two different modes: percentage mode and activity mode.

When an application can determine how much work needs to take place (e.g. read a fixed number of bytes from a file) and can monitor its progress, it can use the GtkProgressBar in percentage mode and the user sees a growing bar indicating the percentage of the work that has been completed. In this mode, the application is required to call gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction() periodically to update the progress bar.

When an application has no accurate way of knowing the amount of work to do, it can use the GtkProgressBar in activity mode, which shows activity by a block moving back and forth within the progress area. In this mode, the application is required to call gtk_progress_bar_pulse() periodically to update the progress bar.

There is quite a bit of flexibility provided to control the appearance of the GtkProgressBar. Functions are provided to control the orientation of the bar, optional text can be displayed along with the bar, and the step size used in activity mode can be set.

Functions

gtk_progress_bar_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_progress_bar_new (void);

Creates a new GtkProgressBar.

Returns

a GtkProgressBar.

gtk_progress_bar_pulse ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_pulse (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Indicates that some progress has been made, but you don’t know how much. Causes the progress bar to enter “activity mode,” where a block bounces back and forth. Each call to gtk_progress_bar_pulse() causes the block to move by a little bit (the amount of movement per pulse is determined by gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step()).

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                               gdouble fraction);

Causes the progress bar to “fill in” the given fraction of the bar. The fraction should be between 0.0 and 1.0, inclusive.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

fraction

fraction of the task that’s been completed

  

gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction ()

gdouble
gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Returns the current fraction of the task that’s been completed.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

Returns

a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0

gtk_progress_bar_set_inverted ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_inverted (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                               gboolean inverted);

Progress bars normally grow from top to bottom or left to right. Inverted progress bars grow in the opposite direction.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

inverted

TRUE to invert the progress bar

  

gtk_progress_bar_get_inverted ()

gboolean
gtk_progress_bar_get_inverted (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Gets the value set by gtk_progress_bar_set_inverted().

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

Returns

TRUE if the progress bar is inverted

gtk_progress_bar_set_show_text ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_show_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                gboolean show_text);

Sets whether the progress bar will show text superimposed over the bar. The shown text is either the value of the “text” property or, if that is NULL, the “fraction” value, as a percentage.

To make a progress bar that is styled and sized suitably for containing text (even if the actual text is blank), set “show-text” to TRUE and “text” to the empty string (not NULL).

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

show_text

whether to show superimposed text

  

Since 3.0

gtk_progress_bar_get_show_text ()

gboolean
gtk_progress_bar_get_show_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Gets the value of the “show-text” property. See gtk_progress_bar_set_show_text().

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

Returns

TRUE if text is shown in the progress bar

Since 3.0

gtk_progress_bar_set_text ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                           const gchar *text);

Causes the given text to appear superimposed on the progress bar.

If text is NULL and “show-text” is TRUE, the current value of “fraction” will be displayed as a percentage.

If text is non-NULL and “show-text” is TRUE, the text will be displayed. In this case, it will not display the progress percentage. If text is the empty string, the progress bar will still be styled and sized suitably for containing text, as long as “show-text” is TRUE.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

text

a UTF-8 string, or NULL.

[allow-none]

gtk_progress_bar_get_text ()

const gchar *
gtk_progress_bar_get_text (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Retrieves the text displayed superimposed on the progress bar, if any, otherwise NULL. The return value is a reference to the text, not a copy of it, so will become invalid if you change the text in the progress bar.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

Returns

text, or NULL; this string is owned by the widget and should not be modified or freed.

gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                PangoEllipsizeMode mode);

Sets the mode used to ellipsize (add an ellipsis: "...") the text if there is not enough space to render the entire string.

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

mode

a PangoEllipsizeMode

  

Since 2.6

gtk_progress_bar_get_ellipsize ()

PangoEllipsizeMode
gtk_progress_bar_get_ellipsize (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Returns the ellipsizing position of the progress bar. See gtk_progress_bar_set_ellipsize().

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

Returns

PangoEllipsizeMode

Since 2.6

gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                 gdouble fraction);

Sets the fraction of total progress bar length to move the bouncing block for each call to gtk_progress_bar_pulse().

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

  

fraction

fraction between 0.0 and 1.0

  

gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step ()

gdouble
gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Retrieves the pulse step set with gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step().

Parameters

struct GtkProgressBar;

Property Details

The “ellipsize” property

  “ellipsize”                PangoEllipsizeMode

The preferred place to ellipsize the string, if the progress bar does not have enough room to display the entire string, specified as a PangoEllipsizeMode.

Note that setting this property to a value other than PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE has the side-effect that the progress bar requests only enough space to display the ellipsis ("..."). Another means to set a progress bar's width is gtk_widget_set_size_request().

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: PANGO_ELLIPSIZE_NONE

Since 2.6

The “fraction” property

  “fraction”                 gdouble

The fraction of total work that has been completed.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0

The “inverted” property

  “inverted”                 gboolean

Invert the direction in which the progress bar grows.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: FALSE

The “pulse-step” property

  “pulse-step”               gdouble

The fraction of total progress to move the bouncing block when pulsed.

Flags: Read / Write

Allowed values: [0,1]

Default value: 0.1

The “show-text” property

  “show-text”                gboolean

Sets whether the progress bar will show text superimposed over the bar. The shown text is either the value of the “text” property or, if that is NULL, the “fraction” value, as a percentage.
