Implemented Interfaces

GtkTreeViewColumn implements GtkCellLayout and GtkBuildable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

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.

Functions

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()

Parameters

tree_column

A GtkTreeViewColumn

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.

[closure]

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_area ()

GtkTreeViewColumn *
gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_area (GtkCellArea *area);

Creates a new GtkTreeViewColumn using area to render its cells.

Parameters

area

the GtkCellArea that the newly created column should use to layout cells.

Returns

A newly created GtkTreeViewColumn.

Since: 3.0

gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes ()

GtkTreeViewColumn *
gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes
                               (const gchar *title,

                                ...);

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,
"text", TEXT_COLUMN,
"foreground", COLOR_COLUMN,
                                                     NULL);
}

Parameters

title

The title to set the header to

cell

The GtkCellRenderer.

expand

TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to tree_column .

gtk_tree_view_column_pack_end ()

                                    gint column);

Adds an attribute mapping to the list in tree_column . The column is the column of the model to get a value from, and the attribute is the parameter on cell_renderer to be set from the value. So for example if column 2 of the model contains strings, you could have the “text” attribute of a GtkCellRendererText get its values from column 2.

Parameters

tree_column

A GtkTreeViewColumn.

cell_renderer

the GtkCellRenderer to set attributes on

attribute

Returns

The current width of tree_column .

gtk_tree_view_column_get_fixed_width ()

gint
gtk_tree_view_column_get_fixed_width (GtkTreeViewColumn *tree_column);

Gets the fixed width of the column. This may not be the actual displayed width of the column; for that, use gtk_tree_view_column_get_width().

Parameters

tree_column

A GtkTreeViewColumn.

Returns

The fixed width of the column.

gtk_tree_view_column_set_fixed_width ()

void
gtk_tree_view_column_set_fixed_width (GtkTreeViewColumn *tree_column,
                                      gint fixed_width);

If fixed_width is not -1, sets the fixed width of tree_column ; otherwise unsets it. The effective value of fixed_width is clamped between the minimum and maximum width of the column; however, the value stored in the “fixed-width” property is not clamped. If the column sizing is GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY or GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE, setting a fixed width overrides the automatically calculated width. Note that fixed_width is only a hint to GTK+; the width actually allocated to the column may be greater or less than requested.

Along with “expand”, the “fixed-width” property changes when the column is resized by the user.

Parameters

tree_column

A GtkTreeViewColumn.

fixed_width

The new fixed width, in pixels, or -1.

gtk_tree_view_column_set_min_width ()

void
gtk_tree_view_column_set_min_width (GtkTreeViewColumn *tree_column,

                                     GtkSortType order);

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_id() to do that. For custom models, the mechanism will vary.

The sort indicator changes direction to indicate normal sort or reverse sort. Note that you must have the sort indicator enabled to see anything when calling this function; see gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_indicator().

Parameters

tree_column

a GtkTreeViewColumn

order

sort order that the sort indicator should indicate
