GtkTreeModelFilterVisibleFunc ()

gboolean
(*GtkTreeModelFilterVisibleFunc) (GtkTreeModel *model,
                                  GtkTreeIter *iter,
                                  gpointer data);

A function which decides whether the row indicated by iter is visible.

GtkTreeModelFilterModifyFunc ()

void
(*GtkTreeModelFilterModifyFunc) (GtkTreeModel *model,
                                 GtkTreeIter *iter,
                                 GValue *value,
                                 gint column,
                                 gpointer data);

A function which calculates display values from raw values in the model. It must fill value with the display value for the column column in the row indicated by iter.

Since this function is called for each data access, it's not a particularly efficient operation.

gtk_tree_model_filter_new ()

GtkTreeModel *
gtk_tree_model_filter_new (GtkTreeModel *child_model,
                           GtkTreePath *root);

Creates a new GtkTreeModel, with child_model as the child_model and root as the virtual root.

gtk_tree_model_filter_set_visible_func ()

void
gtk_tree_model_filter_set_visible_func
                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                GtkTreeModelFilterVisibleFunc func,
                                gpointer data,
                                GDestroyNotify destroy);

Sets the visible function used when filtering the filter to be func . The function should return TRUE if the given row should be visible and FALSE otherwise.

If the condition calculated by the function changes over time (e.g. because it depends on some global parameters), you must call gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter() to keep the visibility information of the model uptodate.

Note that func is called whenever a row is inserted, when it may still be empty. The visible function should therefore take special care of empty rows, like in the example below.

  gtk_tree_model_get (model, iter, 0, &str, -1);
  if (str && strcmp (str, "HI") == 0)

gtk_tree_model_filter_set_modify_func ()

void
gtk_tree_model_filter_set_modify_func (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                       gint n_columns,
                                       GType *types,
                                       GtkTreeModelFilterModifyFunc func,
                                       gpointer data,
                                       GDestroyNotify destroy);

With the n_columns and types parameters, you give an array of column types for this model (which will be exposed to the parent model/view). The func , data and destroy parameters are for specifying the modify function. The modify function will get called for each data access, the goal of the modify function is to return the data which should be displayed at the location specified using the parameters of the modify function.

gtk_tree_model_filter_set_visible_column ()

void
gtk_tree_model_filter_set_visible_column
                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                gint column);

Sets column of the child_model to be the column where filter should look for visibility information. columns should be a column of type G_TYPE_BOOLEAN, where TRUE means that a row is visible, and FALSE if not.

Since: 2.4

gtk_tree_model_filter_get_model ()

GtkTreeModel *
gtk_tree_model_filter_get_model (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter);

Returns a pointer to the child model of filter .

gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_child_iter_to_iter ()

gboolean
gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_child_iter_to_iter
                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                GtkTreeIter *filter_iter,
                                GtkTreeIter *child_iter);

Sets filter_iter to point to the row in filter that corresponds to the row pointed at by child_iter . If filter_iter was not set, FALSE is returned.

                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                GtkTreeIter *child_iter,
                                GtkTreeIter *filter_iter);

Sets child_iter to point to the row pointed to by filter_iter .

gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_child_path_to_path ()

GtkTreePath *
gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_child_path_to_path
                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                GtkTreePath *child_path);

Converts child_path to a path relative to filter . That is, child_path points to a path in the child model. The rerturned path will point to the same row in the filtered model. If child_path isn't a valid path on the child model or points to a row which is not visible in filter , then NULL is returned.

gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_path_to_child_path ()

GtkTreePath *
gtk_tree_model_filter_convert_path_to_child_path
                               (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter,
                                GtkTreePath *filter_path);

Converts filter_path to a path on the child model of filter . That is, filter_path points to a location in filter . The returned path will point to the same location in the model not being filtered. If filter_path does not point to a location in the child model, NULL is returned.

gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter ()

void
gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter);

Emits ::row_changed for each row in the child model, which causes the filter to re-evaluate whether a row is visible or not.

Since: 2.4

gtk_tree_model_filter_clear_cache ()

void
gtk_tree_model_filter_clear_cache (GtkTreeModelFilter *filter);

This function should almost never be called. It clears the filter of any cached iterators that haven't been reffed with gtk_tree_model_ref_node(). This might be useful if the child model being filtered is static (and doesn't change often) and there has been a lot of unreffed access to nodes. As a side effect of this function, all unreffed iters will be invalid.
