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.

struct GtkSpinButton;
The GtkSpinButton struct contains only private data and should not be directly modified.
typedef enum {
GTK_UPDATE_ALWAYS,
GTK_UPDATE_IF_VALID
} GtkSpinButtonUpdatePolicy;
The spin button update policy determines whether the spin button displays
values even if they are outside the bounds of its adjustment.
See gtk_spin_button_set_update_policy().
| When refreshing your GtkSpinButton, the value is always displayed | |
| When refreshing your GtkSpinButton, the value is only displayed if it is valid within the bounds of the spin button's adjustment |
typedef enum {
GTK_SPIN_STEP_FORWARD,
GTK_SPIN_STEP_BACKWARD,
GTK_SPIN_PAGE_FORWARD,
GTK_SPIN_PAGE_BACKWARD,
GTK_SPIN_HOME,
GTK_SPIN_END,
GTK_SPIN_USER_DEFINED
} GtkSpinType;
The values of the GtkSpinType enumeration are used to specify the
change to make in gtk_spin_button_spin().
| Increment by the adjustments step increment. | |
| Decrement by the adjustments step increment. | |
| Increment by the adjustments page increment. | |
| Decrement by the adjustments page increment. | |
| Go to the adjustments lower bound. | |
| Go to the adjustments upper bound. | |
| Change by a specified amount. |
void gtk_spin_button_configure (GtkSpinButton *spin_button,GtkAdjustment *adjustment,gdouble climb_rate,guint digits);
Changes the properties of an existing spin button. The adjustment, climb rate, and number of decimal places are all changed accordingly, after this function call.

button should use, or NULL. [allow-none]

GtkWidget * gtk_spin_button_new_with_range (gdouble min,gdouble max,gdouble 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.
