Method

GtkWidgetcompute_expand

Declaration [src] 

gboolean
gtk_widget_compute_expand (
  GtkWidget* widget,
  GtkOrientation orientation
)

Description [src]

Computes whether a parent widget should give this widget extra space when possible.

Widgets with children should check this, rather than looking at gtk_widget_get_hexpand() or gtk_widget_get_vexpand().

This function already checks whether the widget is visible, so visibility does not need to be checked separately. Non-visible widgets are not expanded.

The computed expand value uses either the expand setting explicitly set on the widget itself, or, if none has been explicitly set, the widget may expand if some of its children do.

Parameters

orientation

Type: GtkOrientation

Expand direction.

Return value

Type: gboolean

Whether widget tree rooted here should be expanded.
