## Implemented Interfaces

GtkViewport implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

The GtkViewport widget acts as an adaptor class, implementing scrollability for child widgets that lack their own scrolling capabilities. Use GtkViewport to scroll child widgets such as GtkTable, GtkBox, and so on.

If a widget has native scrolling abilities, such as GtkTextView, GtkTreeView or GtkIconview, it can be added to a GtkScrolledWindow with `gtk_container_add()`. If a widget does not, you must first add the widget to a GtkViewport, then add the viewport to the scrolled window. The convenience function `gtk_scrolled_window_add_with_viewport()` does exactly this, so you can ignore the presence of the viewport.

## Functions

### gtk_viewport_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_viewport_new (GtkAdjustment *hadjustment,
                      GtkAdjustment *vadjustment);

Creates a new GtkViewport with the given adjustments.

#### Parameters

hadjustment | horizontal adjustment. |
vadjustment | vertical adjustment. |
returns | a new GtkViewport. |

### gtk_viewport_get_hadjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment *
    gtk_viewport_get_hadjustment (GtkViewport *viewport);

Returns the horizontal adjustment of the viewport.

#### Parameters

viewport | a GtkViewport. |

### gtk_viewport_get_vadjustment ()

    GtkAdjustment *
    gtk_viewport_get_vadjustment (GtkViewport *viewport);

Returns the vertical adjustment of the viewport.

#### Parameters

viewport | a GtkViewport. |

#### Returns

the vertical adjustment of `viewport` .

### gtk_viewport_set_hadjustment ()

    void
    gtk_viewport_set_hadjustment (GtkViewport *viewport,
                                  GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

Sets the shadow type of the viewport.

#### Parameters

viewport | a GtkViewport. |
type | the new shadow type. |

### gtk_viewport_get_shadow_type ()

    GtkShadowType
    gtk_viewport_get_shadow_type (GtkViewport *viewport);

## Types and Values

### struct GtkViewport

    struct GtkViewport;

## Property Details

### The `“hadjustment”` property

      “hadjustment”              GtkAdjustment *

The GtkAdjustment that determines the values of the horizontal position for this viewport.

Owner: GtkViewport

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

### The `“shadow-type”` property

      “shadow-type”              GtkShadowType

Determines how the shadowed box around the viewport is drawn.

Owner: GtkViewport

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: GTK_SHADOW_IN

### The `“vadjustment”` property

      “vadjustment”              GtkAdjustment *

The GtkAdjustment that determines the values of the vertical position for this viewport.

Owner: GtkViewport

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

## Signal Details

### The `“set-scroll-adjustments”` signal

    void
    user_function (GtkViewport   *horizontal,
                   GtkAdjustment *vertical,
                   GtkAdjustment *arg2,
                   gpointer       user_data)

Set the scroll adjustments for the viewport. Usually scrolled containers like GtkScrolledWindow will emit this signal to connect two instances of GtkScrollbar to the scroll directions of the GtkViewport.

#### Parameters

horizontal | the horizontal GtkAdjustment |
vertical | the vertical GtkAdjustment |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Action
