### Interface

# Gtk Scrollable

since: 4.0

#### Description [src]

    interface Gtk.Scrollable : GObject.Object

`GtkScrollable` is an interface for widgets with native scrolling ability.

To implement this interface you should override the `GtkScrollable:hadjustment` and `GtkScrollable:vadjustment` properties.

## Creating a scrollable widget

All scrollable widgets should do the following.

- When a parent widget sets the scrollable child widget’s adjustments, the widget should connect to the `GtkAdjustment::value-changed` signal. The child widget should then populate the adjustments’ properties as soon as possible, which usually means queueing an allocation right away and populating the properties in the `Gtk.WidgetClass.size_allocate` implementation.

- Because its preferred size is the size for a fully expanded widget, the scrollable widget must be able to cope with underallocations. This means that it must accept any value passed to its `Gtk.WidgetClass.size_allocate` implementation.

- When the parent allocates space to the scrollable child widget, the widget must ensure the adjustments’ property values are correct and up to date, for example using `gtk_adjustment_configure()`.

- When any of the adjustments emits the `GtkAdjustment::value-changed` signal, the scrollable widget should scroll its contents.
