Known Implementations
GtkTreeModel is implemented by GtkListStore, GtkTreeModelFilter, GtkTreeModelSort and GtkTreeStore.
Description
The GtkTreeModel interface defines a generic tree interface for use by the GtkTreeView widget. It is an abstract interface, and is designed to be usable with any appropriate data structure. The programmer just has to implement this interface on their own data type for it to be viewable by a GtkTreeView widget.
The model is represented as a hierarchical tree of strongly-typed, columned data. In other words, the model can be seen as a tree where every node has different values depending on which column is being queried. The type of data found in a column is determined by using the GType system (ie. G_TYPE_INT, GTK_TYPE_BUTTON, G_TYPE_POINTER, etc.). The types are homogeneous per column across all nodes. It is important to note that this interface only provides a way of examining a model and observing changes. The implementation of each individual model decides how and if changes are made.
In order to make life simpler for programmers who do not need to write their own specialized model, two generic models are provided — the GtkTreeStore and the GtkListStore. To use these, the developer simply pushes data into these models as necessary. These models provide the data structure as well as all appropriate tree interfaces. As a result, implementing drag and drop, sorting, and storing data is trivial. For the vast majority of trees and lists, these two models are sufficient.
Models are accessed on a node/column level of granularity. One can query for the value of a model at a certain node and a certain column on that node. There are two structures used to reference a particular node in a model. They are the GtkTreePath and the GtkTreeIter [4] Most of the interface consists of operations on a GtkTreeIter.
A path is essentially a potential node. It is a location on a model that may or may not actually correspond to a node on a specific model. The GtkTreePath struct can be converted into either an array of unsigned integers or a string. The string form is a list of numbers separated by a colon. Each number refers to the offset at that level. Thus, the path “0” refers to the root node and the path “2:4” refers to the fifth child of the third node.
By contrast, a GtkTreeIter is a reference to a specific node on a
specific model. It is a generic struct with an integer and three
generic pointers. These are filled in by the model in a model-specific
way. One can convert a path to an iterator by calling
gtk_tree_model_get_iter(). These iterators are the primary way of
accessing a model and are similar to the iterators used by
GtkTextBuffer. They are generally statically allocated on the stack and
only used for a short time. The model interface defines a set of
operations using them for navigating the model.
It is expected that models fill in the iterator with private data. For example, the GtkListStore model, which is internally a simple linked list, stores a list node in one of the pointers. The GtkTreeModelSort stores an array and an offset in two of the pointers. Additionally, there is an integer field. This field is generally filled with a unique stamp per model. This stamp is for catching errors resulting from using invalid iterators with a model.
The lifecycle of an iterator can be a little confusing at first. Iterators are expected to always be valid for as long as the model is unchanged (and doesn't emit a signal). The model is considered to own all outstanding iterators and nothing needs to be done to free them from the user's point of view. Additionally, some models guarantee that an iterator is valid for as long as the node it refers to is valid (most notably the GtkTreeStore and GtkListStore). Although generally uninteresting, as one always has to allow for the case where iterators do not persist beyond a signal, some very important performance enhancements were made in the sort model. As a result, the GTK_TREE_MODEL_ITERS_PERSIST flag was added to indicate this behavior.
To help show some common operation of a model, some examples are provided. The first example shows three ways of getting the iter at the location “3:2:5”. While the first method shown is easier, the second is much more common, as you often get paths from callbacks.
Example 16. Acquiring a GtkTreeIter
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
/* Three ways of getting the iter pointing to the location */ { GtkTreePath *path; GtkTreeIter iter; GtkTreeIter parent_iter; /* get the iterator from a string */ gtk_tree_model_get_iter_from_string (model, &iter, "3:2:5"); /* get the iterator from a path */ path = gtk_tree_path_new_from_string ("3:2:5"); gtk_tree_model_get_iter (model, &iter, path); gtk_tree_path_free (path); /* walk the tree to find the iterator */ gtk_tree_model_iter_nth_child (model, &iter, NULL, 3); parent_iter = iter; gtk_tree_model_iter_nth_child (model, &iter, &parent_iter, 2); parent_iter = iter; gtk_tree_model_iter_nth_child (model, &iter, &parent_iter, 5); } |
This second example shows a quick way of iterating through a list and
getting a string and an integer from each row. The
populate_model function used below is not shown, as
it is specific to the GtkListStore. For information on how to write
such a function, see the GtkListStore documentation.
Example 17. Reading data from a GtkTreeModel

enum { STRING_COLUMN, INT_COLUMN, N_COLUMNS }; { GtkTreeModel *list_store; GtkTreeIter iter; gboolean valid; gint row_count = 0; /* make a new list_store */ list_store = gtk_list_store_new (N_COLUMNS, G_TYPE_STRING, G_TYPE_INT); /* Fill the list store with data */ populate_model (list_store); /* Get the first iter in the list */ valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (list_store, &iter); while (valid) { /* Walk through the list, reading each row */ gchar *str_data; gint int_data; /* Make sure you terminate calls to gtk_tree_model_get() * with a '-1' value */ gtk_tree_model_get (list_store, &iter, STRING_COLUMN, &str_data, INT_COLUMN, &int_data, -1); /* Do something with the data */ g_print ("Row %d: (%s,%d)\n", row_count, str_data, int_data); g_free (str_data); row_count ++; valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (list_store, &iter); } } |

appears before b
in a tree, then -1 is returned.
If b
appears before a
, then 1 is returned. If the two nodes are equal,
then 0 is returned.
gtk_tree_path_next ()
void
gtk_tree_path_next (GtkTreePath *path);
Moves the path
to point to the next node at the current depth.
gtk_tree_path_prev ()
gboolean
gtk_tree_path_prev (GtkTreePath *path);

is a descendant of ancestor
.
gtk_tree_row_reference_new ()
GtkTreeRowReference * gtk_tree_row_reference_new (GtkTreeModel *model,GtkTreePath *path);
Creates a row reference based on path
. This reference will keep pointing
to the node pointed to by path
, so long as it exists. It listens to all
signals emitted by model
, and updates its path appropriately. If path
isn't a valid path in model
, then NULL is returned.
gtk_tree_row_reference_new_proxy ()
GtkTreeRowReference * gtk_tree_row_reference_new_proxy (GObject *proxy,GtkTreeModel *model,GtkTreePath *path);
You do not need to use this function. Creates a row reference based on
path
. This reference will keep pointing to the node pointed to by path
,
so long as it exists. If path
isn't a valid path in model
, then NULL is
returned. However, unlike references created with
gtk_tree_row_reference_new(), it does not listen to the model for changes.
The creator of the row reference must do this explicitly using
gtk_tree_row_reference_inserted(), gtk_tree_row_reference_deleted(),
gtk_tree_row_reference_reordered().
These functions must be called exactly once per proxy when the
corresponding signal on the model is emitted. This single call
updates all row references for that proxy. Since built-in GTK+
objects like GtkTreeView already use this mechanism internally,
using them as the proxy object will produce unpredictable results.
Further more, passing the same object as model
and proxy
doesn't work for reasons of internal implementation.
This type of row reference is primarily meant by structures that need to carefully monitor exactly when a row reference updates itself, and is not generally needed by most applications.
gtk_tree_row_reference_get_model ()
GtkTreeModel *
gtk_tree_row_reference_get_model (GtkTreeRowReference *reference);
Returns the model that the row reference is monitoring.
Since: 2.8
gtk_tree_row_reference_get_path ()
GtkTreePath *
gtk_tree_row_reference_get_path (GtkTreeRowReference *reference);
Returns a path that the row reference currently points to, or NULL if the
path pointed to is no longer valid.
gtk_tree_row_reference_valid ()
gboolean
gtk_tree_row_reference_valid (GtkTreeRowReference *reference);
Returns TRUE if the reference
is non-NULL and refers to a current valid
path.
gtk_tree_row_reference_free ()
void
gtk_tree_row_reference_free (GtkTreeRowReference *reference);
Free's reference
. reference
may be NULL.

Lets a set of row reference created by gtk_tree_row_reference_new_proxy()
know that the model emitted the "row_deleted" signal.
gtk_tree_row_reference_reordered ()
void gtk_tree_row_reference_reordered (GObject *proxy,GtkTreePath *path,GtkTreeIter *iter,gint *new_order);

gtk_tree_iter_copy ()
GtkTreeIter *
gtk_tree_iter_copy (GtkTreeIter *iter);

gtk_tree_model_iter_children ()
gboolean gtk_tree_model_iter_children (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter,GtkTreeIter *parent);
Sets iter
to point to the first child of parent
. If parent
has no
children, FALSE is returned and iter

iter |
The GtkTreeIter to set to the nth child. |
[out] |
parent |

to be the parent of child
. If child
is at the toplevel, and

called.
gtk_tree_model_get_string_from_iter ()
gchar * gtk_tree_model_get_string_from_iter (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter);
Generates a string representation of the iter. This string is a ':' separated list of numbers. For example, "4:10:0:3" would be an acceptable return value for this string.
Since: 2.2
gtk_tree_model_ref_node ()
void gtk_tree_model_ref_node (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter);
Lets the tree ref the node. This is an optional method for models to implement. To be more specific, models may ignore this call as it exists primarily for performance reasons.
This function is primarily meant as a way for views to let caching model know when nodes are being displayed (and hence, whether or not to cache that node.) For example, a file-system based model would not want to keep the entire file-hierarchy in memory, just the sections that are currently being displayed by every current view.
A model should be expected to be able to get an iter independent of its reffed state.
gtk_tree_model_unref_node ()
void gtk_tree_model_unref_node (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter);
Lets the tree unref the node. This is an optional method for models to implement. To be more specific, models may ignore this call as it exists primarily for performance reasons.
For more information on what this means, see gtk_tree_model_ref_node().
Please note that nodes that are deleted are not unreffed.
gtk_tree_model_get ()
void gtk_tree_model_get (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter,...);
Gets the value of one or more cells in the row referenced by iter
.
The variable argument list should contain integer column numbers,
each column number followed by a place to store the value being
retrieved. The list is terminated by a -1. For example, to get a
value from column 0 with type G_TYPE_STRING, you would
write: gtk_tree_model_get (model, iter, 0, &place_string_here, -1),
where place_string_here is a gchar* to be
filled with the string.
Returned values with type G_TYPE_OBJECT have to be unreferenced, values
with type G_TYPE_STRING or G_TYPE_BOXED have to be freed. Other values are
passed by value.
gtk_tree_model_get_valist ()
void gtk_tree_model_get_valist (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreeIter *iter,va_list var_args);
See gtk_tree_model_get(), this version takes a va_list
for language bindings to use.
gtk_tree_model_foreach ()
void gtk_tree_model_foreach (GtkTreeModel *model,GtkTreeModelForeachFunc func,gpointer user_data);
Calls func on each node in model in a depth-first fashion.
If func
returns TRUE, then the tree ceases to be walked, and
gtk_tree_model_foreach() returns.
gtk_tree_model_row_changed ()
void gtk_tree_model_row_changed (GtkTreeModel *tree_model,GtkTreePath *path,GtkTreeIter *iter);
gtk_tree_model_row_changed is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.

. This should be called by
models after a row has been removed. The location pointed to by path
should be the location that the row previously was at. It may not be a
valid location anymore.

enum GtkTreeModelFlags
These flags indicate various properties of a GtkTreeModel. They are
returned by gtk_tree_model_get_flags(), and must be static for the
lifetime of the object. A more complete description of
GTK_TREE_MODEL_ITERS_PERSIST can be found in the overview of this
section.
Signal Details
The “row-changed” signal
void user_function (GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path, GtkTreeIter *iter, gpointer user_data)
This signal is emitted when a row in the model has changed.
Parameters
tree_model |
the GtkTreeModel on which the signal is emitted |
|
path |
a GtkTreePath identifying the changed row |
|
iter |
a valid GtkTreeIter pointing to the changed row |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “row-deleted” signal
void user_function (GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path, gpointer user_data)
This signal is emitted when a row has been deleted.
Note that no iterator is passed to the signal handler, since the row is already deleted.
This should be called by models after a row has been removed.
The location pointed to by path
should be the location that
the row previously was at. It may not be a valid location anymore.
Parameters
tree_model |
the GtkTreeModel on which the signal is emitted |
|
path |
a GtkTreePath identifying the row |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run First
The “row-has-child-toggled” signal
void user_function (GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path, GtkTreeIter *iter, gpointer user_data)
This signal is emitted when a row has gotten the first child row or lost its last child row.
Parameters
tree_model |
the GtkTreeModel on which the signal is emitted |
|
path |
a GtkTreePath identifying the row |
|
iter |
a valid GtkTreeIter pointing to the row |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run Last
The “row-inserted” signal
void user_function (GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path, GtkTreeIter *iter, gpointer user_data)
This signal is emitted when a new row has been inserted in the model.
Note that the row may still be empty at this point, since it is a common pattern to first insert an empty row, and then fill it with the desired values.
Parameters
tree_model |
the GtkTreeModel on which the signal is emitted |
|
path |
a GtkTreePath identifying the new row |
|
iter |
a valid GtkTreeIter pointing to the new row |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run First
The “rows-reordered” signal
void user_function (GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path, GtkTreeIter *iter, gpointer new_order, gpointer user_data)
This signal is emitted when the children of a node in the GtkTreeModel have been reordered.
Note that this signal is not emitted when rows are reordered by DND, since this is implemented by removing and then reinserting the row.
Parameters
tree_model |
the GtkTreeModel on which the signal is emitted |
|
path |
a GtkTreePath identifying the tree node whose children have been reordered |
|
iter |
a valid GtkTreeIter pointing to the node whose |
|
new_order |
an array of integers mapping the current position of
each child to its old position before the re-ordering,
i.e. |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run First
