Class

GtkTreeSelection

Description [src] 

class Gtk.TreeSelection : GObject.Object
{
  /* No available fields */
}

The GtkTreeSelection object is a helper object to manage the selection for a GtkTreeView widget. The GtkTreeSelection object is automatically created when a new GtkTreeView widget is created, and cannot exist independently of this widget. The primary reason the GtkTreeSelection objects exists is for cleanliness of code and API. That is, there is no conceptual reason all these functions could not be methods on the GtkTreeView widget instead of a separate function.

The GtkTreeSelection object is gotten from a GtkTreeView by calling gtk_tree_view_get_selection(). It can be manipulated to check the selection status of the tree, as well as select and deselect individual rows. Selection is done completely view side. As a result, multiple views of the same model can have completely different selections. Additionally, you cannot change the selection of a row on the model that is not currently displayed by the view without expanding its parents first.

One of the important things to remember when monitoring the selection of a view is that the GtkTreeSelection::changed signal is mostly a hint. That is, it may only emit one signal when a range of rows is selected. Additionally, it may on occasion emit a GtkTreeSelection::changed signal when nothing has happened (mostly as a result of programmers calling select_row on an already selected row).

Instance methods

gtk_tree_selection_count_selected_rows

Returns the number of rows that have been selected in tree.

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_selection_get_mode

Gets the selection mode for selection. See gtk_tree_selection_set_mode().

gtk_tree_selection_get_select_function

Returns the current selection function.

since: 2.14

gtk_tree_selection_get_selected

Sets iter to the currently selected node if selection is set to

GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE or #GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE. iter may be NULL if you

just want to test if selection has any selected nodes. model is filled with the current model as a convenience. This function will not work if you use selection is #GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows

Creates a list of path of all selected rows. Additionally, if you are planning on modifying the model after calling this function, you may want to convert the returned list into a list of GtkTreeRowReferences. To do this, you can use gtk_tree_row_reference_new().

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_selection_get_tree_view

Returns the tree view associated with selection.

gtk_tree_selection_get_user_data

Returns the user data for the selection function.

gtk_tree_selection_iter_is_selected

Returns TRUE if the row at iter is currently selected.

gtk_tree_selection_path_is_selected

Returns TRUE if the row pointed to by path is currently selected. If path does not point to a valid location, FALSE is returned.

gtk_tree_selection_select_all

Selects all the nodes. selection must be set to #GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE mode.

gtk_tree_selection_select_iter

Selects the specified iterator.

gtk_tree_selection_select_path

Select the row at path.

gtk_tree_selection_select_range

Selects a range of nodes, determined by start_path and end_path inclusive. selection must be set to #GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE mode.

gtk_tree_selection_selected_foreach

Calls a function for each selected node. Note that you cannot modify the tree or selection from within this function. As a result, gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows() might be more useful.

gtk_tree_selection_set_mode

Sets the selection mode of the selection. If the previous type was

GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, then the anchor is kept selected, if it was

previously selected.

gtk_tree_selection_set_select_function

Sets the selection function.

gtk_tree_selection_unselect_all

Unselects all the nodes.

gtk_tree_selection_unselect_iter

Unselects the specified iterator.

gtk_tree_selection_unselect_path

Unselects the row at path.

gtk_tree_selection_unselect_range

Unselects a range of nodes, determined by start_path and end_path inclusive.

since: 2.2

Properties

Gtk.TreeSelection:mode

Selection mode. See gtk_tree_selection_set_mode() for more information on this property.

since: 3.2

Signals

Gtk.TreeSelection::changed

Emitted whenever the selection has (possibly) changed. Please note that this signal is mostly a hint. It may only be emitted once when a range of rows are selected, and it may occasionally be emitted when nothing has happened.

Signals inherited from GObject (1)
GObject::notify

The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has its value set through g_object_set_property(), g_object_set(), et al.
