Class

GtkTreeStore

Description [src]

class Gtk.TreeStore : GObject.Object
  implements Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.TreeDragDest, Gtk.TreeDragSource, Gtk.TreeModel, Gtk.TreeSortable {
  GtkTreeStorePrivate* priv
}

The GtkTreeStore object is a list model for use with a GtkTreeView widget. It implements the GtkTreeModel interface, and consequentially, can use all of the methods available there. It also implements the GtkTreeSortable interface so it can be sorted by the view. Finally, it also implements the tree [drag and drop][gtk3-GtkTreeView-drag-and-drop] interfaces.

GtkTreeStore as GtkBuildable

The GtkTreeStore implementation of the GtkBuildable interface allows to specify the model columns with a <columns> element that may contain multiple <column> elements, each specifying one model column. The “type” attribute specifies the data type for the column.

An example of a UI Definition fragment for a tree store:

<object class="GtkTreeStore">
  <columns>
    <column type="gchararray"/>
    <column type="gchararray"/>
    <column type="gint"/>
  </columns>
</object>

Ancestors

Constructors

gtk_tree_store_new

Creates a new tree store as with n_columns columns each of the types passed in. Note that only types derived from standard GObject fundamental types are supported.

gtk_tree_store_newv

Non vararg creation function. Used primarily by language bindings.

Instance methods

gtk_tree_store_append

Appends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-NULL, then it will append the new row after the last child of parent, otherwise it will append a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

gtk_tree_store_clear

Removes all rows from tree_store.

gtk_tree_store_insert

Creates a new row at position. If parent is non-NULL, then the row will be made a child of parent. Otherwise, the row will be created at the toplevel. If position is -1 or is larger than the number of rows at that level, then the new row will be inserted to the end of the list. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

gtk_tree_store_insert_after

Inserts a new row after sibling. If sibling is NULL, then the row will be prepended to parent ’s children. If parent and sibling are NULL, then the row will be prepended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional.

gtk_tree_store_insert_before

Inserts a new row before sibling. If sibling is NULL, then the row will be appended to parent ’s children. If parent and sibling are NULL, then the row will be appended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional.

gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values

Creates a new row at position. iter will be changed to point to this new row. If position is -1, or larger than the number of rows on the list, then the new row will be appended to the list. The row will be filled with the values given to this function.

since: 2.10

gtk_tree_store_insert_with_valuesv

A variant of gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values() which takes the columns and values as two arrays, instead of varargs. This function is mainly intended for language bindings.

since: 2.10

gtk_tree_store_is_ancestor

Returns TRUE if iter is an ancestor of descendant. That is, iter is the parent (or grandparent or great-grandparent) of descendant.

gtk_tree_store_iter_depth

Returns the depth of iter. This will be 0 for anything on the root level, 1 for anything down a level, etc.

gtk_tree_store_iter_is_valid

purposes.

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_store_move_after

Moves iter in tree_store to the position after position. iter and position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If position is NULL, iter will be moved to the start of the level.

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_store_move_before

Moves iter in tree_store to the position before position. iter and position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If position is NULL, iter will be moved to the end of the level.

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_store_prepend

Prepends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-NULL, then it will prepend the new row before the first child of parent, otherwise it will prepend a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

gtk_tree_store_remove

Removes iter from tree_store. After being removed, iter is set to the next valid row at that level, or invalidated if it previously pointed to the last one.

gtk_tree_store_reorder

Reorders the children of parent in tree_store to follow the order indicated by new_order. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores.

since: 2.2

gtk_tree_store_set

Sets the value of one or more cells in the row referenced by iter. The variable argument list should contain integer column numbers, each column number followed by the value to be set. The list is terminated by a -1. For example, to set column 0 with type G_TYPE_STRING to “Foo”, you would write gtk_tree_store_set (store, iter, 0, "Foo", -1).

gtk_tree_store_set_column_types

This function is meant primarily for GObjects that inherit from GtkTreeStore, and should only be used when constructing a new GtkTreeStore. It will not function after a row has been added, or a method on the GtkTreeModel interface is called.

gtk_tree_store_set_valist

See gtk_tree_store_set(); this version takes a va_list for use by language bindings.

gtk_tree_store_set_value

Sets the data in the cell specified by iter and column. The type of value must be convertible to the type of the column.

gtk_tree_store_set_valuesv

A variant of gtk_tree_store_set_valist() which takes the columns and values as two arrays, instead of varargs. This function is mainly intended for language bindings or in case the number of columns to change is not known until run-time.

since: 2.12

gtk_tree_store_swap

Swaps a and b in the same level of tree_store. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores.

since: 2.2

Methods inherited from GtkBuildable (10)
gtk_buildable_add_child

Adds a child to buildable. type is an optional string describing how the child should be added.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_construct_child

Constructs a child of buildable with the name name.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_finished

This is similar to gtk_buildable_parser_finished() but is called once for each custom tag handled by the buildable.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_tag_end

This is called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_custom_tag_start

This is called for each unknown element under <child>.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_get_internal_child

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_get_name

Gets the name of the buildable object.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_parser_finished

Called when the builder finishes the parsing of a [GtkBuilder UI definition][BUILDER-UI]. Note that this will be called once for each time gtk_builder_add_from_file() or gtk_builder_add_from_string() is called on a builder.

since: 2.12

gtk_buildable_set_buildable_property

Sets the property name name to value on the buildable object.

since: 2.12

Methods inherited from GtkTreeDragDest (2)
gtk_tree_drag_dest_drag_data_received

Asks the GtkTreeDragDest to insert a row before the path dest, deriving the contents of the row from selection_data. If dest is outside the tree so that inserting before it is impossible, FALSE will be returned. Also, FALSE may be returned if the new row is not created for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a dest no longer found in the model!

gtk_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_possible

Determines whether a drop is possible before the given dest_path, at the same depth as dest_path. i.e., can we drop the data in selection_data at that location. dest_path does not have to exist; the return value will almost certainly be FALSE if the parent of dest_path doesn’t exist, though.

Methods inherited from GtkTreeDragSource (3)
gtk_tree_drag_source_drag_data_delete

Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to delete the row at path, because it was moved somewhere else via drag-and-drop. Returns FALSE if the deletion fails because path no longer exists, or for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!

gtk_tree_drag_source_drag_data_get

Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to fill in selection_data with a representation of the row at path. selection_data->target gives the required type of the data. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!

gtk_tree_drag_source_row_draggable

Asks the GtkTreeDragSource whether a particular row can be used as the source of a DND operation. If the source doesn’t implement this interface, the row is assumed draggable.

Methods inherited from GtkTreeModel (28)

Please see GtkTreeModel for a full list of methods.

Methods inherited from GtkTreeSortable (6)
gtk_tree_sortable_get_sort_column_id

Fills in sort_column_id and order with the current sort column and the order. It returns TRUE unless the sort_column_id is GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_DEFAULT_SORT_COLUMN_ID or GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_UNSORTED_SORT_COLUMN_ID.

gtk_tree_sortable_has_default_sort_func

Returns TRUE if the model has a default sort function. This is used primarily by GtkTreeViewColumns in order to determine if a model can go back to the default state, or not.

gtk_tree_sortable_set_default_sort_func

Sets the default comparison function used when sorting to be sort_func. If the current sort column id of sortable is GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_DEFAULT_SORT_COLUMN_ID, then the model will sort using this function.

gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id

Sets the current sort column to be sort_column_id. The sortable will resort itself to reflect this change, after emitting a GtkTreeSortable::sort-column-changed signal. sort_column_id may either be a regular column id, or one of the following special values:.

gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_func

Sets the comparison function used when sorting to be sort_func. If the current sort column id of sortable is the same as sort_column_id, then the model will sort using this function.

gtk_tree_sortable_sort_column_changed

Emits a GtkTreeSortable::sort-column-changed signal on sortable.
