Description

The GtkTreeViewColumn object represents a visible column in a GtkTreeView widget. It allows to set properties of the column header, and functions as a holding pen for the cell renderers which determine how the data in the column is displayed.

Please refer to the tree widget conceptual overview for an overview of all the objects and data types related to the tree widget and how they work together.

Details

enum GtkTreeViewColumnSizing

typedef enum
{
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY,
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE,
  GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED
} GtkTreeViewColumnSizing;

The sizing method the column uses to determine its width. Please note that GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE are inefficient for large views, and can make columns appear choppy.

GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY Columns only get bigger in reaction to changes in the model
GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE Columns resize to be the optimal size everytime the model changes.
GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED Columns are a fixed numbers of pixels wide.

GtkTreeCellDataFunc ()

void                (*GtkTreeCellDataFunc)              (GtkTreeViewColumn *tree_column,
                                                         GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                                         GtkTreeModel *tree_model,
                                                         GtkTreeIter *iter,
                                                         gpointer data);

A function to set the properties of a cell instead of just using the straight mapping between the cell and the model. This is useful for customizing the cell renderer. For example, a function might get an integer from the tree_model, and render it to the "text" attribute of "cell" by converting it to its written equivilent. This is set by calling gtk_tree_view_column_set_cell_data_func()

tree_column : A GtkTreeColumn
cell : The GtkCellRenderer that is being rendered by tree_column
tree_model : The GtkTreeModel being rendered
iter : A GtkTreeIter of the current row rendered
data : user data

GtkTreeViewColumn

typedef struct _GtkTreeViewColumn GtkTreeViewColumn;


gtk_tree_view_column_new ()

GtkTreeViewColumn*  gtk_tree_view_column_new            (void);

Creates a new GtkTreeViewColumn.

Returns : A newly created GtkTreeViewColumn.

gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes ()

GtkTreeViewColumn*  gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes
                                                        (const gchar *title,
                                                         GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                                         ...);

Creates a new GtkTreeViewColumn with a number of default values. This is equivalent to calling gtk_tree_view_column_set_title(), gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(), and gtk_tree_view_column_set_attributes() on the newly created GtkTreeViewColumn.

Here's a simple example:

 enum { TEXT_COLUMN, COLOR_COLUMN, N_COLUMNS };
 ...
 {
   GtkTreeViewColumn *column;
   GtkCellRenderer   *renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new ();
 
   column = gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes ("Title",
                                                      renderer,

Sets the maximum width of the tree_column. If max_width is -1, then the maximum width is unset. Note, the column can actually be wider than max width if it's the last column in a view. In this case, the column expands to fill any extra space.

Changes the appearance of the sort indicator.

This does not actually sort the model. Use gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_column_id() if you want automatic sorting support. This function is primarily for custom sorting behavior, and should be used in conjunction with gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column() to do that. For custom models, the mechanism will vary.

iter : The GtkTreeIter to to get the cell renderer's attributes from.

Obtains the horizontal position and size of a cell in a column. If the cell is not found in the column, start_pos and width are not changed and FALSE is returned.

tree_column : a GtkTreeViewColumn
cell_renderer : a GtkCellRenderer
start_pos : return location for the horizontal position of cell within tree_column, may be NULL
width : return location for the width of cell, may be NULL
