Implemented Interfaces

GtkIconView implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkCellLayout and GtkScrollable.

Includes

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

Description

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like GtkTreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see gtk_icon_view_set_selection_mode()). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes

1
2
iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]

GtkIconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

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

The returned GtkTreePath must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().

gtk_icon_view_select_all (GtkIconView *icon_view);

Selects all the icons. icon_view must has its selection mode set to GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.

Parameters

icon_view

A GtkIconView.

 

Since: 2.6


gtk_icon_view_unselect_all ()

void
gtk_icon_view_unselect_all (GtkIconView *icon_view);

Unselects all the icons.

Parameters

icon_view

A GtkIconView.

 

Since: 2.6


gtk_icon_view_item_activated ()

void
gtk_icon_view_item_activated (GtkIconView *icon_view,
                              GtkTreePath *path);

Activates the item determined by path .

Parameters

Since: 2.6


gtk_icon_view_scroll_to_path ()

void
gtk_icon_view_scroll_to_path (GtkIconView *icon_view,
                              GtkTreePath *path,
                              gboolean use_align,
                              gfloat row_align,
                              gfloat col_align);

Moves the alignments of icon_view to the position specified by path . 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 item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item 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 icon_view is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

Parameters

icon_view

A GtkIconView.

 

path

The path of the item to move to.

 

use_align

whether to use alignment arguments, or FALSE.

 

row_align

The vertical alignment of the item specified by path .

 

col_align

The horizontal alignment of the item specified by path .

This function is supposed to be used in a “query-tooltip” signal handler for GtkIconView. The x , y and keyboard_tip values which are received in the signal handler, should be passed to this function without modification.

The return value indicates whether there is an icon view item at the given coordinates (TRUE) or not (FALSE) for mouse tooltips. For keyboard tooltips the item returned will be the cursor item. When TRUE, then any of model , path and iter which have been provided will be set to point to that row and the corresponding model. x and y will always be converted to be relative to icon_view ’s bin_window if keyboard_tooltip is FALSE.

Parameters

icon_view

an GtkIconView

 

x

the x coordinate (relative to widget coordinates).

[inout]

y

the y coordinate (relative to widget coordinates).

[inout]

keyboard_tip

whether this is a keyboard tooltip or not

 

model

a pointer to receive a GtkTreeModel or NULL.

[out][allow-none][transfer none]

path

a pointer to receive a GtkTreePath or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

iter

a pointer to receive a GtkTreeIter or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

Returns

If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full items, you can use this function to have GtkIconView handle these automatically for you. column should be set to the column in icon_view ’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.

When enabled, “has-tooltip” will be set to TRUE and icon_view will connect a “query-tooltip” signal handler.

Note that the signal handler sets the text with gtk_tooltip_set_markup(), so &, <, etc have to be escaped in the text.

Parameters

Since: 2.8


gtk_icon_view_set_reorderable ()

void
gtk_icon_view_set_reorderable (GtkIconView *icon_view,
                               gboolean reorderable);

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkTreeDragSourceIface and the GtkTreeDragDestIface. 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 icon 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.

Parameters

icon_view

A GtkIconView.

 

reorderable

TRUE, if the list of items can be reordered.

 

Since: 2.8


gtk_icon_view_get_reorderable ()

Retrieves whether the user can reorder the list via drag-and-drop. See gtk_icon_view_set_reorderable().

Parameters

icon_view

a GtkIconView

 

Returns

TRUE if the list can be reordered.
