Detailed Description

A scroller holds (and clips) a single object and "scrolls it around". This means that it allows the user to use a scroll bar (or a finger) to drag the viewable region around, moving through a much larger object that is contained in the scroller. The scroller will always have a small minimum size by default as it won't be limited by the contents of the scroller.
This widget inherits from the Layout one, so that all the functions acting on it also work for scroller objects.
This widget emits the following signals, besides the ones sent from
"edge,left"
- the left edge of the content has been reached"edge,right"
- the right edge of the content has been reached"edge,top"
- the top edge of the content has been reached"edge,bottom"
- the bottom edge of the content has been reached"scroll"
- the content has been scrolled (moved)"scroll,anim,start"
- scrolling animation has started"scroll,anim,stop"
- scrolling animation has stopped"scroll,drag,start"
- dragging the contents around has started"scroll,drag,stop"
- dragging the contents around has stopped
This widget implements the The Elementary Scrollable Interface interface. Its (non-deprecated) API functions, except for elm_scroller_add(), which gives basic scroller objects, are meant to be a basis for all other scrollable widgets (i.e. widgets implementing The Elementary Scrollable Interface). So, they will work both on pristine scroller widgets and on other "specialized" scrollable widgets.
- Note:
- The
"scroll,anim,*"
and"scroll,drag,*"
signals are only emitted by user intervention. - When Elementary is under its default profile and theme (meant for touch interfaces), scroll bars will not be draggable -- their function is merely to indicate how much has been scrolled.
- When Elementary is under its desktop/standard profile and theme, the thumb scroll (a.k.a. finger scroll) won't work.
Default content parts of the scroller widget that you can use are:
"default"
- Content of the scroller
In Scroller example you'll find an example on how to use most of this API.

Function Documentation
Evas_Object* elm_scroller_add | ( | Evas_Object * | parent | ) |
Add a new scroller to the parent.
- Parameters:
-
parent The parent object
- Returns:
- The new object or NULL if it cannot be created
void elm_scroller_bounce_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj, |
Eina_Bool * | h_bounce, | ||
Eina_Bool * | v_bounce | ||
) |
Get the bounce behaviour.
- Parameters:
-
obj The Scroller object h_bounce Will the scroller bounce horizontally or not v_bounce Will the scroller bounce vertically or not
- See also:
- elm_scroller_bounce_set()
void elm_scroller_bounce_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
Eina_Bool | h_bounce, | ||
Eina_Bool | v_bounce | ||
) |
Set bouncing behavior.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_bounce Allow bounce horizontally v_bounce Allow bounce vertically
When scrolling, the scroller may "bounce" when reaching an edge of the content object. This is a visual way to indicate the end has been reached. This is enabled by default for both axis. This API will set if it is enabled for the given axis with the boolean parameters for each axis.
void elm_scroller_child_size_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj, |
Evas_Coord * | w, | ||
Evas_Coord * | h | ||
) |
Get the size of the content object.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object w Width of the content object. h Height of the content object.
This gets the size of the content object of the scroller.
void elm_scroller_content_min_limit | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
Eina_Bool | w, | ||
Eina_Bool | h | ||
) |
Make the scroller minimum size limited to the minimum size of the content.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object w Enable limiting minimum size horizontally h Enable limiting minimum size vertically
By default the scroller will be as small as its design allows, irrespective of its content. This will make the scroller minimum size the right size horizontally and/or vertically to perfectly fit its content in that direction.
void elm_scroller_current_page_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj, |
int * | h_pagenumber, | ||
int * | v_pagenumber | ||
) |
Get scroll current page number.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_pagenumber The horizontal page number v_pagenumber The vertical page number
The page number starts from 0. 0 is the first page. Current page means the page which meets the top-left of the viewport. If there are two or more pages in the viewport, it returns the number of the page which meets the top-left of the viewport.
EINA_DEPRECATED void elm_scroller_custom_widget_base_theme_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
const char * | widget, | ||
const char * | base | ||
) |
Set custom theme elements for the scroller.
- Parameters:

void elm_scroller_page_relative_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
double | h_pagerel, | ||
double | v_pagerel | ||
) |
Set scroll page size relative to viewport size.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_pagerel The horizontal page relative size v_pagerel The vertical page relative size
The scroller is capable of limiting scrolling by the user to "pages". That is to jump by and only show a "whole page" at a time as if the continuous area of the scroller content is split into page sized pieces. This sets the size of a page relative to the viewport of the scroller. 1.0 is "1 viewport" is size (horizontally or vertically). 0.0 turns it off in that axis. This is mutually exclusive with page size (see elm_scroller_page_size_set() for more information). Likewise 0.5 is "half a viewport". Sane usable values are normally between 0.0 and 1.0 including 1.0. If you only want 1 axis to be page "limited", use 0.0 for the other axis.
void elm_scroller_page_show | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
int | h_pagenumber, | ||
int | v_pagenumber | ||
) |
Show a specific virtual region within the scroller content object by page number.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_pagenumber The horizontal page number v_pagenumber The vertical page number
0, 0 of the indicated page is located at the top-left of the viewport. This will jump to the page directly without animation.
Example of usage:
sc = elm_scroller_add(win); elm_object_content_set(sc, content); elm_scroller_page_relative_set(sc, 1, 0); elm_scroller_current_page_get(sc, &h_page, &v_page); elm_scroller_page_show(sc, h_page + 1, v_page);

void elm_scroller_page_size_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj, |
Evas_Coord * | h_pagesize, | ||
Evas_Coord * | v_pagesize | ||
) |
Retrieve a scroller widget's current page size.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_pagesize Where to store its horizontal page size v_pagesize Where to store its vertical page size
- See also:
- elm_scroller_page_size_set() for more details
- elm_scroller_page_relative_set()
- Since:
- 1.7
void elm_scroller_page_size_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
Evas_Coord | h_pagesize, | ||
Evas_Coord | v_pagesize | ||
) |
Set scroll page size.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object h_pagesize The horizontal page size v_pagesize The vertical page size
This sets the page size to an absolute fixed value, with 0 turning it off for that axis.
void elm_scroller_policy_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj, |
Elm_Scroller_Policy * | policy_h, | ||
Elm_Scroller_Policy * | policy_v | ||
) |
Gets scrollbar visibility policy.
- Parameters:
-

Elm_Scroller_Policy | policy_v | ||
) |
Set the scrollbar visibility policy.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object policy_h Horizontal scrollbar policy policy_v Vertical scrollbar policy
This sets the scrollbar visibility policy for the given scroller. ELM_SCROLLER_POLICY_AUTO means the scrollbar is made visible if it is needed, and otherwise kept hidden. ELM_SCROLLER_POLICY_ON turns it on all the time, and ELM_SCROLLER_POLICY_OFF always keeps it off. This applies respectively for the horizontal and vertical scrollbars.
Eina_Bool elm_scroller_propagate_events_get | ( | const Evas_Object * | obj | ) |
Get event propagation for a scroller.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object
- Returns:
- The propagation state
This gets the event propagation for a scroller.
- See also:

void elm_scroller_propagate_events_set | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
Eina_Bool | propagation | ||
) |
Set event propagation on a scroller.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object propagation If propagation is enabled or not
This enables or disables event propagation from the scroller content to the scroller and its parent. By default event propagation is enabled.
void elm_scroller_region_bring_in | ( | Evas_Object * | obj, |
Evas_Coord | x, | ||
Evas_Coord | y, | ||
Evas_Coord | w, | ||
Evas_Coord | h | ||
) |
Show a specific virtual region within the scroller content object.
- Parameters:
-
obj The scroller object x X coordinate of the region y Y coordinate of the region w Width of the region h Height of the region
This will ensure all (or part if it does not fit) of the designated region in the virtual content object (0, 0 starting at the top-left of the virtual content object) is shown within the scroller. Unlike elm_scroller_region_show(), this allow the scroller to "smoothly slide" to this location (if configuration in general calls for transitions). It may not jump immediately to the new location and make take a while and show other content along the way.
- See also:
- elm_scroller_region_show()
