Description [src]
final class Gtk.TreeSelection : GObject.Object
{
/* No available fields */
}The selection object for GtkTreeView
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).
Deprecated since: 4.10
Use GtkSelectionModel instead.
Instance methods
gtk_tree_selection_count_selected_rows
Returns the number of rows that have been selected in tree.
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_tree_selection_get_mode
Gets the selection mode for selection. See gtk_tree_selection_set_mode().
deprecated: 4.10
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.
deprecated: 4.10
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().
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_tree_selection_iter_is_selected
Returns TRUE if the row at iter is currently selected.
deprecated: 4.10
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.
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_tree_selection_select_all
Selects all the nodes. selection must be set to GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE
mode.
deprecated: 4.10
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.
deprecated: 4.10
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.
deprecated: 4.10
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.
deprecated: 4.10
gtk_tree_selection_unselect_range
Unselects a range of nodes, determined by start_path and end_path
inclusive.
deprecated: 4.10
Properties
Gtk.TreeSelection:mode
Selection mode.
See gtk_tree_selection_set_mode() for more information on this property.
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.
