# Gtk::Orientable Class Reference

Inheritance diagram for Gtk::Orientable:

[legend]

List of all members.

## 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:

## Public Member Functions

Orientation | get_orientation () const
| Retrieves the orientation of the orientable.
const GtkOrientable* | gobj () const
| Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly <Orientation> | property_orientation () const
| The orientation of the orientable.
Glib::PropertyProxy<Orientation> | property_orientation ()

## 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.

Returns:
  The orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

const GtkOrientable* Gtk::Orientable::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::Interface.

GtkOrientable* Gtk::Orientable::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Glib::Interface.

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.

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.

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

Sets the orientation of the orientable.

Since gtkmm 2.16:

Parameters:

  | orientation | The orientable's new orientation.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

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

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

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False 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.
