## Detailed Description

The ATK interface implemented by valuators and components which display or select a value from a bounded range of values.

This should be implemented for components which either display a value from a bounded range, or which allow the user to specify a value from a bounded range, or both. For instance, most sliders and range controls, as well as dials, should have Atk::Object representations which implement Atk::Value on the component's behalf. Atk::Values may be read-only, in which case attempts to alter the value return false to indicate failure.

You should derive from this class to use it.

## Value() [2/2]

## Member Function Documentation

## add_interface()

static

## get_current_value()

void Atk::Value::get_current_value | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

Gets the value of this object.

Deprecated: Since 2.12. Use get_value_and_text() instead.

Deprecated:
  Use get_value_and_text() instead.

Parameters

  value | A Value representing the current accessible value.

## get_current_value_vfunc()

virtual void Atk::Value::get_current_value_vfunc | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

protected virtual

## get_increment()

double Atk::Value::get_increment | ( |  | ) |

Gets the minimum increment by which the value of this object may be changed.

If zero, the minimum increment is undefined, which may mean that it is limited only by the floating point precision of the platform.

Since atkmm 2.12:

Returns
  The minimum increment by which the value of this object may be changed. zero if undefined.

## get_maximum_value()

void Atk::Value::get_maximum_value | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

Gets the maximum value of this object.

Deprecated: Since 2.12. Use get_range() instead.

Deprecated:
  Use get_range() instead.

Parameters

  value | A Value representing the maximum accessible value.

## get_maximum_value_vfunc()

virtual void Atk::Value::get_maximum_value_vfunc | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

protected virtual

## get_minimum_value()

void Atk::Value::get_minimum_value | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

Gets the minimum value of this object.

Deprecated: Since 2.12. Use get_range() instead.

Deprecated:
  Use get_range() instead.

Parameters

  value | A Value representing the minimum accessible value.

## get_minimum_value_vfunc()

virtual void Atk::Value::get_minimum_value_vfunc | ( | Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) | const

protected virtual

## get_range()

Range Atk::Value::get_range | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the range of this object.

Since atkmm 2.12:

Returns
  A newly allocated Atk::Range that represents the minimum, maximum and descriptor (if available) of obj. `nullptr` if that range is not defined.

## get_type()

static GType Atk::Value::get_type | ( |  | ) |

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## get_value_and_text()

void Atk::Value::get_value_and_text | ( | double & | value,
|  | Glib::ustring & | text
| ) |  |

Gets the current value and the human readable text alternative.

Since atkmm 2.24:

## gobj() [1/2]

AtkValue* Atk::Value::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## gobj() [2/2]

const AtkValue* Atk::Value::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## operator=()

Value& Atk::Value::operator= | ( | Value&& | src | ) |

noexcept

## set_current_value()

bool Atk::Value::set_current_value | ( | const Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) |

Sets the value of this object.

Deprecated: Since 2.12. Use set_value() instead.

Deprecated:
  Use set_value() instead.

Parameters

  value | A Value which is the desired new accessible value.

Returns
  `true` if new value is successfully set, `false` otherwise.

## set_current_value_vfunc()

virtual bool Atk::Value::set_current_value_vfunc | ( | const Glib::ValueBase & | value | ) |

protected virtual

## set_value()

void Atk::Value::set_value | ( | const gdouble | new_value | ) |

Sets the value of this object.

This method is intended to provide a way to change the value of the object. In any case, it is possible that the value can't be modified (ie: a read-only component). If the value changes due this call, it is possible that the text could change, and will trigger an Atk::Value::signal_value_changed() signal emission.

Note for implementors: the deprecated set_current_value() method returned `true` or `false` depending if the value was assigned or not. In the practice several implementors were not able to decide it, and returned `true` in any case. For that reason it is not required anymore to return if the value was properly assigned or not.

Since atkmm 2.12:

Parameters

  new_value | A double which is the desired new accessible value.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

## wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Atk::Value > wrap | ( | AtkValue * | 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.
