These widgets are typically "adjusted" directly by the user with the mouse or keyboard. They will treat the <em class="parameter"><code>lower</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>upper</code></em> values of an adjustment as a range within which the user can manipulate the adjustment's <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em>. By default, they will only modify the <em class="parameter"><code>value</code></em> of an adjustment. </p> <p> The other group includes the <code class="classname">Viewport</code> widget and the <code class="classname">ScrolledWindow</code> widget. All of these widgets use pixel values for their adjustments. These are also typically adjusted indirectly using scrollbars. While all widgets which use adjustments can either create their own adjustments or use ones you supply, you'll generally want to let this particular category of widgets create its own adjustments. </p> <p> TODO: Text widget is deprecated: Look at GTK+ tutorial for up-to-date example. If you share an adjustment object between a Scrollbar and a Text widget, manipulating the scrollbar will automagically adjust the Text widget. You can set it up like this: </p> <pre class="programlisting">// creates its own adjustments Gtk::Text text(0, 0); // uses the newly-created adjustment for the scrollbar as well Gtk::VScrollbar vscrollbar (*(text.get_vadjustment()));</pre> </div> <div class="navfooter"> <hr> <table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left"> <a accesskey="p" href="chapter-adjustment.html"><img src="icons/prev.png" alt="Prev"></a> </td> <td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="chapter-adjustment.html"><img src="icons/up.png" alt="Up"></a></td> <td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="sec-adjustment-internals.html"><img src="icons/next.png" alt="Next"></a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 12.
