Implemented Interfaces

GtkProgressBar implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

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() perodically 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.

The GtkProgressBar/GtkProgress API in GTK 1.2 was bloated, needlessly complex and hard to use properly. Therefore GtkProgress has been deprecated completely and the GtkProgressBar API has been reduced to the following 10 functions: gtk_progress_bar_new(), gtk_progress_bar_pulse(), gtk_progress_bar_set_text(), gtk_progress_bar_set_fraction(), gtk_progress_bar_set_pulse_step(), gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation(), gtk_progress_bar_get_text(), gtk_progress_bar_get_fraction(), gtk_progress_bar_get_pulse_step(), gtk_progress_bar_get_orientation(). These have been grouped at the beginning of this section, followed by a large chunk of deprecated 1.2 compatibility functions.

Functions

gtk_progress_bar_new ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_progress_bar_new (void);

Creates a new GtkProgressBar.

Creates a new GtkProgressBar.

Returns

a GtkProgressBar.


gtk_progress_bar_pulse ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_pulse (GtkProgressBar *pbar);

Indicates that some progress is 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_text ()

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

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

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

 

text

a UTF-8 string, or NULL.

[allow-none]

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_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_set_orientation ()

void
gtk_progress_bar_set_orientation (GtkProgressBar *pbar,
                                  GtkProgressBarOrientation orientation);

Causes the progress bar to switch to a different orientation (left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top).

Parameters

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

 

orientation

orientation of the progress bar

 

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_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_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_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

pbar

a GtkProgressBar

 

Returns

a fraction from 0.0 to 1.0
