Interface

GtkSectionModel

since: 4.12

Description [src]

interface Gtk.SectionModel : Gio.ListModel

GtkSectionModel is an interface that adds support for sections to list models.

A GtkSectionModel groups successive items into so-called sections. List widgets like GtkListView and GtkGridView then allow displaying section headers for these sections by installing a header factory.

Many GTK list models support sections inherently, or they pass through the sections of a model they are wrapping.

When the section groupings of a model change, the model will emit the GtkSectionModel::sections-changed signal by calling the gtk_section_model_sections_changed() function. All sections in the given range then need to be queried again. The GListModel::items-changed signal has the same effect, all sections in that range are invalidated, too.

Available since: 4.12

Prerequisite

In order to implement SectionModel, your type must inherit fromGListModel.

Instance methods

gtk_section_model_get_section

Query the section that covers the given position. The number of items in the section can be computed by out_end - out_start.

gtk_section_model_sections_changed
No description available.

Signals

Gtk.SectionModel::sections-changed

Emitted when the start-of-section state of some of the items in model changes.

Interface structure

struct GtkSectionModelInterface {
  void (* get_section) (
    GtkSectionModel* self,
    guint position,
    guint* out_start,
    guint* out_end
  );
  
}

The list of virtual functions for the GtkSectionModel interface. No function must be implemented, but unless GtkSectionModel::get_section() is implemented, the whole model will just be a single section.

Virtual methods

Gtk.SectionModel.get_section

Query the section that covers the given position. The number of items in the section can be computed by out_end - out_start.
