Hi,
I have a custom container which provides scrolling functionality by
embedding a Gtk::Grid inside a Gtk::Viewport. The scrolling part works
perfectly except for one glitch. Whenever an on_size_allocate event occurs
it causes the property_value of the Gtk::Adjustment to reset to 0 causing
the scroll position to jump to the top. Since this could happen when any of
the children emits a queue resize or even when the top level window loses
focus the scroll position sort of never stays where it should. By
overriding the containers on_size_allocate handler I confirmed that the
property_value of Gtk::Adjustment resets when I call the base classes
on_size_allocate. Below is my on_size_allocate handler.
001 void CScrollGrid::on_size_allocate(Gtk::Allocation &oAlloc)
002 {
003 {
004 double dValue = m_refAdjustment->get_value();
005
006 std::cout << "size allocate (before), value: " << dValue << "\n";
007
008 Gtk::Widget::on_size_allocate(oAlloc);
009
010 std::cout
011 << "size allocate (after), value: "
012 << m_refAdjustment->get_value()
013 << "\n";
014
015 // Update scroll
016 {
017 int nMinimum;
018 int nDummy;
019
020 if (Gtk::ORIENTATION_VERTICAL
021 == m_eOrientation)
022 {
023 m_oGrid.get_preferred_height(nMinimum,
024 nDummy);
025 } else
026 {
027 m_oGrid.get_preferred_width(nMinimum,
028 nDummy);
029 }
030
031 m_refAdjustment->set_upper(nMinimum);
032 }
033
034 m_refAdjustment->property_value().set_value(dValue);
035
036 std::cout
037 << "size allocate (before fit), value: "
038 << m_refAdjustment->get_value()
039 << "\n";
040
041 Fit();
042 }
043 }
At line 006 the stream output prints the correct 'value'. By line 010 the
'value' is reset to 0. As you can see that I have tried to apply the backed
up value at line 034 but surprisingly the stream output at line 036 still
returns 0!
What am I doing wrong?
NOTE: I didn't use Gtk::ScrolledWindow because of the following reason. The
'rows' inside the scrolled area could be of different heights. Irrespective
of that the visible region needs to show the first and last row in full
without clipping. When this is not possible, the last row is omitted and
the extra space is converted as padding distributed evenly between top and
bottom.
