struct GtkTreeView

struct GtkTreeView;

enum GtkTreeViewDropPosition

typedef enum {
  /* drop before/after this row */
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_DROP_BEFORE,
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_DROP_AFTER,
  /* drop as a child of this row (with fallback to before or after
   * if into is not possible)
   */
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_DROP_INTO_OR_BEFORE,
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_DROP_INTO_OR_AFTER
} GtkTreeViewDropPosition;

An enum for determining where a dropped row goes.

GtkTreeViewPrivate

typedef struct _GtkTreeViewPrivate GtkTreeViewPrivate;

A private struct for internal use only. The definition of this structure is not publically available.

GtkTreeViewColumnDropFunc ()

gboolean            (*GtkTreeViewColumnDropFunc)        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *prev_column,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *next_column,
                                                         gpointer data);

Function type for determining whether column can be dropped in a particular spot (as determined by prev_column and next_column). In left to right locales, prev_column is on the left of the potential drop spot, and next_column is on the right. In right to left mode, this is reversed. This function should return TRUE if the spot is a valid drop spot. Please note that returning TRUE does not actually indicate that the column drop was made, but is meant only to indicate a possible drop spot to the user.

GtkTreeViewMappingFunc ()

void                (*GtkTreeViewMappingFunc)           (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         gpointer user_data);

                                                         const gchar *key,
                                                         GtkTreeIter *iter,
                                                         gpointer search_data);

A function used for checking whether a row in model matches a search key string entered by the user. Note the return value is reversed from what you would normally expect, though it has some similarity to strcmp() returning 0 for equal strings.

gtk_tree_view_new ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_tree_view_new                   (void);

Creates a new GtkTreeView widget.

gtk_tree_view_get_level_indentation ()

gint                gtk_tree_view_get_level_indentation (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns the amount, in pixels, of extra indentation for child levels in tree_view.

Since 2.12

gtk_tree_view_get_show_expanders ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_show_expanders    (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns whether or not expanders are drawn in tree_view.

Since 2.12

gtk_tree_view_set_level_indentation ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_level_indentation (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint indentation);

Sets the amount of extra indentation for child levels to use in tree_view in addition to the default indentation. The value should be specified in pixels, a value of 0 disables this feature and in this case only the default indentation will be used. This does not have any visible effects for lists.

Since 2.12

gtk_tree_view_set_show_expanders ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_show_expanders    (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gboolean enabled);

Sets whether to draw and enable expanders and indent child rows in tree_view. When disabled there will be no expanders visible in trees and there will be no way to expand and collapse rows by default. Also note that hiding the expanders will disable the default indentation. You can set a custom indentation in this case using gtk_tree_view_set_level_indentation(). This does not have any visible effects for lists.

Since 2.12

gtk_tree_view_new_with_model ()

GtkWidget *         gtk_tree_view_new_with_model        (GtkTreeModel *model);

Sets the GtkAdjustment for the current vertical aspect.

gtk_tree_view_get_headers_visible ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_headers_visible   (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns TRUE if the headers on the tree_view are visible.

gtk_tree_view_set_headers_visible ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_headers_visible   (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gboolean headers_visible);

gtk_tree_view_get_headers_clickable ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_headers_clickable (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns whether all header columns are clickable.

Since 2.10

gtk_tree_view_set_headers_clickable ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_headers_clickable (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gboolean setting);

Allow the column title buttons to be clicked.

gtk_tree_view_set_rules_hint ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_rules_hint        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gboolean setting);

This function tells GTK+ that the user interface for your application requires users to read across tree rows and associate cells with one another. By default, GTK+ will then render the tree with alternating row colors. Do not use it just because you prefer the appearance of the ruled tree; that's a question for the theme. Some themes will draw tree rows in alternating colors even when rules are turned off, and users who prefer that appearance all the time can choose those themes. You should call this function only as a semantic hint to the theme engine that your tree makes alternating colors useful from a functional standpoint (since it has lots of columns, generally).

gtk_tree_view_get_rules_hint ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_rules_hint        (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Gets the setting set by gtk_tree_view_set_rules_hint().

                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column);

Appends column to the list of columns. If tree_view has "fixed_height" mode enabled, then column must have its "sizing" property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.

gtk_tree_view_remove_column ()

gint                gtk_tree_view_remove_column         (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column);

Removes column from tree_view.

gtk_tree_view_insert_column ()

gint                gtk_tree_view_insert_column         (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         gint position);

This inserts the column into the tree_view at position. If position is -1, then the column is inserted at the end. If tree_view has "fixed_height" mode enabled, then column must have its "sizing" property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.

gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes ()

gint                gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_attributes
                                                        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint position,
                                                         const gchar *title,
                                                         GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                                         ...);

Creates a new GtkTreeViewColumn and inserts it into the tree_view at position. If position is -1, then the newly created column is inserted at the end. The column is initialized with the attributes given. If tree_view has "fixed_height" mode enabled, then the new column will have its sizing property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.

gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_data_func ()

gint                gtk_tree_view_insert_column_with_data_func
                                                        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint position,
                                                         const gchar *title,
                                                         GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                                         GtkTreeCellDataFunc func,
                                                         gpointer data,
                                                         GDestroyNotify dnotify);

Convenience function that inserts a new column into the GtkTreeView with the given cell renderer and a GtkCellDataFunc to set cell renderer attributes (normally using data from the model). See also gtk_tree_view_column_set_cell_data_func(), gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(). If tree_view has "fixed_height" mode enabled, then the new column will have its "sizing" property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.

gtk_tree_view_get_column ()

GtkTreeViewColumn * gtk_tree_view_get_column            (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint n);

Gets the GtkTreeViewColumn at the given position in the tree_view.

gtk_tree_view_get_columns ()

GList *             gtk_tree_view_get_columns           (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns a GList of all the GtkTreeViewColumn s currently in tree_view. The returned list must be freed with g_list_free().

gtk_tree_view_move_column_after ()

void                gtk_tree_view_move_column_after     (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *base_column);

Moves column to be after to base_column. If base_column is NULL, then column is placed in the first position.

gtk_tree_view_set_expander_column ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_expander_column   (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column);

Sets the column to draw the expander arrow at. It must be in tree_view. If column is NULL, then the expander arrow is always at the first visible column.

If you do not want expander arrow to appear in your tree, set the expander column to a hidden column.

gtk_tree_view_get_expander_column ()

GtkTreeViewColumn * gtk_tree_view_get_expander_column   (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Returns the column that is the current expander column. This column has the expander arrow drawn next to it.

gtk_tree_view_set_column_drag_function ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_column_drag_function
                                                        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumnDropFunc func,
                                                         gpointer user_data,
                                                         GDestroyNotify destroy);

Sets a user function for determining where a column may be dropped when dragged. This function is called on every column pair in turn at the beginning of a column drag to determine where a drop can take place. The arguments passed to func are: the tree_view, the GtkTreeViewColumn being dragged, the two GtkTreeViewColumn s determining the drop spot, and user_data. If either of the GtkTreeViewColumn arguments for the drop spot are NULL, then they indicate an edge. If func is set to be NULL, then tree_view reverts to the default behavior of allowing all columns to be dropped everywhere.

gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_point ()

void                gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_point       (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint tree_x,
                                                         gint tree_y);

Scrolls the tree view such that the top-left corner of the visible area is tree_x, tree_y, where tree_x and tree_y are specified in tree coordinates. The tree_view must be realized before this function is called. If it isn't, you probably want to be using gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell().

If either tree_x or tree_y are -1, then that direction isn't scrolled.

gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell ()

void                gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell        (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         gboolean use_align,
                                                         gfloat row_align,
                                                         gfloat col_align);

Moves the alignments of tree_view to the position specified by column and path. If column is NULL, then no horizontal scrolling occurs. Likewise, if path is NULL no vertical scrolling occurs. At a minimum, one of column or path need to be non-NULL. row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is FALSE, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the cell onto the screen. This means that the cell will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the cell is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the tree_view is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

gtk_tree_view_set_cursor ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_cursor            (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *focus_column,
                                                         gboolean start_editing);

Sets the current keyboard focus to be at path, and selects it. This is useful when you want to focus the user's attention on a particular row. If focus_column is not NULL, then focus is given to the column specified by it. Additionally, if focus_column is specified, and start_editing is TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell. This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (tree_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

If path is invalid for model, the current cursor (if any) will be unset and the function will return without failing.

gtk_tree_view_set_cursor_on_cell ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_cursor_on_cell    (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *focus_column,
                                                         GtkCellRenderer *focus_cell,
                                                         gboolean start_editing);

Sets the current keyboard focus to be at path, and selects it. This is useful when you want to focus the user's attention on a particular row. If focus_column is not NULL, then focus is given to the column specified by it. If focus_column and focus_cell are not NULL, and focus_column contains 2 or more editable or activatable cells, then focus is given to the cell specified by focus_cell. Additionally, if focus_column is specified, and start_editing is TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell. This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (tree_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

If path is invalid for model, the current cursor (if any) will be unset and the function will return without failing.

Fills in path and focus_column with the current path and focus column. If the cursor isn't currently set, then *path will be NULL. If no column currently has focus, then *focus_column will be NULL.

The returned GtkTreePath must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free() when you are done with it.

gtk_tree_view_row_activated ()

void                gtk_tree_view_row_activated         (GtkTreeView *tree_view,

                                                         GtkTreePath *path);

Collapses a row (hides its child rows, if they exist).

gtk_tree_view_map_expanded_rows ()

void                gtk_tree_view_map_expanded_rows     (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreeViewMappingFunc func,
                                                         gpointer data);

gtk_tree_view_set_reorderable ()

void                gtk_tree_view_set_reorderable       (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gboolean reorderable);

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkDragSourceIface and the GtkDragDestIface. Both GtkTreeStore and GtkListStore support these. If reorderable is TRUE, then the user can reorder the model by dragging and dropping rows. The developer can listen to these changes by connecting to the model's row_inserted and row_deleted signals. The reordering is implemented by setting up the tree view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.

This function does not give you any degree of control over the order -- any reordering is allowed. If more control is needed, you should probably handle drag and drop manually.

gtk_tree_view_get_reorderable ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_reorderable       (GtkTreeView *tree_view);

Retrieves whether the user can reorder the tree via drag-and-drop. See gtk_tree_view_set_reorderable().

gtk_tree_view_get_path_at_pos ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_path_at_pos       (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         gint x,
                                                         gint y,
                                                         GtkTreePath **path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn **column,
                                                         gint *cell_x,
                                                         gint *cell_y);

Finds the path at the point (x, y), relative to bin_window coordinates (please see gtk_tree_view_get_bin_window()). That is, x and y are relative to an events coordinates. x and y must come from an event on the tree_view only where event->window == gtk_tree_view_get_bin_window (). It is primarily for things like popup menus. If path is non-NULL, then it will be filled with the GtkTreePath at that point. This path should be freed with gtk_tree_path_free(). If column is non-NULL, then it will be filled with the column at that point. cell_x and cell_y return the coordinates relative to the cell background (i.e. the background_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render()). This function is only meaningful if tree_view is realized. Therefore this function will always return FALSE if tree_view is not realized or does not have a model.

For converting widget coordinates (eg. the ones you get from GtkWidget::query-tooltip), please see gtk_tree_view_convert_widget_to_bin_window_coords().

gtk_tree_view_get_cell_area ()

void                gtk_tree_view_get_cell_area         (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         GdkRectangle *rect);

Fills the bounding rectangle in bin_window coordinates for the cell at the row specified by path and the column specified by column. If path is NULL, or points to a path not currently displayed, the y and height fields of the rectangle will be filled with 0. If column is NULL, the x and width fields will be filled with 0. The sum of all cell rects does not cover the entire tree; there are extra pixels in between rows, for example. The returned rectangle is equivalent to the cell_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). This function is only valid if tree_view is realized.

gtk_tree_view_get_background_area ()

void                gtk_tree_view_get_background_area   (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,
                                                         GtkTreeViewColumn *column,
                                                         GdkRectangle *rect);

Fills the bounding rectangle in bin_window coordinates for the cell at the row specified by path and the column specified by column. If path is NULL, or points to a node not found in the tree, the y and height fields of the rectangle will be filled with 0. If column is NULL, the x and width fields will be filled with 0. The returned rectangle is equivalent to the background_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). These background areas tile to cover the entire bin window. Contrast with the cell_area, returned by gtk_tree_view_get_cell_area(), which returns only the cell itself, excluding surrounding borders and the tree expander area.

gtk_tree_view_get_visible_rect ()

void                gtk_tree_view_get_visible_rect      (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GdkRectangle *visible_rect);

Fills visible_rect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in tree coordinates. Convert to bin_window coordinates with gtk_tree_view_convert_tree_to_bin_window_coords(). Tree coordinates start at 0,0 for row 0 of the tree, and cover the entire scrollable area of the tree.

gtk_tree_view_get_visible_range ()

gboolean            gtk_tree_view_get_visible_range     (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath **start_path,
                                                         GtkTreePath **end_path);

Sets start_path and end_path to be the first and last visible path. Note that there may be invisible paths in between.

The paths should be freed with gtk_tree_path_free() after use.
