## Description

GtkScaleButton provides a button which pops up a scale widget. This kind of widget is commonly used for volume controls in multimedia applications, and GTK+ provides a GtkVolumeButton subclass that is tailored for this use case.

## Functions

### gtk_scale_button_new ()

    GtkWidget *
    gtk_scale_button_new (GtkIconSize size,
                          gdouble min,
                          gdouble max,
                          gdouble step,
                          const gchar **icons);

Creates a GtkScaleButton, with a range between `min` and `max` , with a stepping of `step` .

#### Parameters

size | a stock icon size. | [in]
min | the minimum value of the scale (usually 0) |
max | the maximum value of the scale (usually 100) |
step | the stepping of value when a scroll-wheel event, or up/down arrow event occurs (usually 2) |
icons | a `NULL`-terminated array of icon names, or `NULL` if you want to set the list later with `gtk_scale_button_set_icons()`. | [allow-none][array zero-terminated=1]

#### Returns

a new GtkScaleButton

Since: 2.12

### gtk_scale_button_set_adjustment ()

                                     GtkAdjustment *adjustment);

Sets the GtkAdjustment to be used as a model for the GtkScaleButton's scale. See `gtk_range_set_adjustment()` for details.

#### Parameters

adjustment | a GtkAdjustment |

Since: 2.12

### gtk_scale_button_set_icons ()

    void
    gtk_scale_button_set_icons (GtkScaleButton *button,

## Types and Values

### struct GtkScaleButton

    struct GtkScaleButton;

## Property Details

### The `“adjustment”` property

      “adjustment”               GtkAdjustment *

The GtkAdjustment that contains the current value of this scale button object.

Flags: Read / Write

### The `“icons”` property

      “icons”                    GStrv

The names of the icons to be used by the scale button. The first item in the array will be used in the button when the current value is the lowest value, the second item for the highest value. All the subsequent icons will be used for all the other values, spread evenly over the range of values.

If there's only one icon name in the `icons` array, it will be used for all the values. If only two icon names are in the `icons` array, the first one will be used for the bottom 50% of the scale, and the second one for the top 50%.

It is recommended to use at least 3 icons so that the GtkScaleButton reflects the current value of the scale better for the users.

Flags: Read / Write

Since: 2.12

### The `“size”` property

      “size”                     GtkIconSize
