Description
The GtkTreeSelection object is a helper object to manage the selection for a GtkTreeView widget. The GtkTreeSelection object is automatically created when a new GtkTreeView widget is created, and cannot exist independentally of this widget. The primary reason the GtkTreeSelection objects exists is for cleanliness of code and API. That is, there is no conceptual reason all these functions could not be methods on the GtkTreeView widget instead of a separate function.
The GtkTreeSelection object is gotten from a GtkTreeView by calling
gtk_tree_view_get_selection()
. It can be manipulated to check the
selection status of the tree, as well as select and deselect individual
rows. Selection is done completely view side. As a result, multiple
views of the same model can have completely different selections.
Additionally, you cannot change the selection of a row on the model that
is not currently displayed by the view without expanding its parents
first.
One of the important things to remember when monitoring the selection of a view is that the “changed” signal is mostly a hint. That is, it may only emit one signal when a range of rows is selected. Additionally, it may on occasion emit a ::changed signal when nothing has happened (mostly as a result of programmers calling select_row on an already selected row).
Functions
GtkTreeSelectionFunc ()
gboolean (*GtkTreeSelectionFunc) (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreeModel *model
,GtkTreePath *path
,gboolean path_currently_selected
,gpointer data
);
A function used by gtk_tree_selection_set_select_function()
to filter
whether or not a row may be selected. It is called whenever a row's
state might change. A return value of TRUE
indicates to selection
that it is okay to change the selection.
Parameters
selection |
||
model |
A GtkTreeModel being viewed |
|
path |
The GtkTreePath of the row in question |
|
path_currently_selected |
|
|
data |
user data |
GtkTreeSelectionForeachFunc ()
void (*GtkTreeSelectionForeachFunc) (GtkTreeModel *model
,GtkTreePath *path
,GtkTreeIter *iter
,gpointer data
);
A function used by gtk_tree_selection_selected_foreach()
to map all
selected rows. It will be called on every selected row in the view.
Parameters
model |
The GtkTreeModel being viewed |
|
path |
The GtkTreePath of a selected row |
|
iter |
A GtkTreeIter pointing to a selected row |
|
data |
user data |
gtk_tree_selection_set_mode ()
void gtk_tree_selection_set_mode (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkSelectionMode type
);
Sets the selection mode of the selection
. If the previous type was
GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, then the anchor is kept selected, if it was
previously selected.
gtk_tree_selection_get_mode ()
GtkSelectionMode
gtk_tree_selection_get_mode (GtkTreeSelection *selection
);
Gets the selection mode for selection
. See
gtk_tree_selection_set_mode()
.
gtk_tree_selection_set_select_function ()
void gtk_tree_selection_set_select_function (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreeSelectionFunc func
,gpointer data
,GDestroyNotify destroy
);
Sets the selection function. If set, this function is called before any node
is selected or unselected, giving some control over which nodes are selected.
The select function should return TRUE
if the state of the node may be toggled,
and FALSE
if the state of the node should be left unchanged.
gtk_tree_selection_get_select_function ()
GtkTreeSelectionFunc
gtk_tree_selection_get_select_function
(GtkTreeSelection *selection
);
Returns the current selection function.
Since 2.14
gtk_tree_selection_get_user_data ()
gpointer
gtk_tree_selection_get_user_data (GtkTreeSelection *selection
);
Returns the user data for the selection function.
gtk_tree_selection_get_tree_view ()
GtkTreeView *
gtk_tree_selection_get_tree_view (GtkTreeSelection *selection
);
Returns the tree view associated with selection
.
gtk_tree_selection_get_selected ()
gboolean gtk_tree_selection_get_selected (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreeModel **model
,GtkTreeIter *iter
);
Sets iter
to the currently selected node if selection
is set to
GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE or GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE. iter
may be NULL if you
just want to test if selection
has any selected nodes. model
is filled
with the current model as a convenience. This function will not work if you
use selection
is GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE.
Parameters
selection |
||
model |
A pointer to set to the GtkTreeModel, or NULL. |
[out][allow-none][transfer none] |
iter |
The GtkTreeIter, or NULL. |
[out][allow-none] |
gtk_tree_selection_selected_foreach ()
void gtk_tree_selection_selected_foreach (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreeSelectionForeachFunc func
,gpointer data
);
Calls a function for each selected node. Note that you cannot modify
the tree or selection from within this function. As a result,
gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows()
might be more useful.
gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows ()
GList * gtk_tree_selection_get_selected_rows (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreeModel **model
);
Creates a list of path of all selected rows. Additionally, if you are
planning on modifying the model after calling this function, you may
want to convert the returned list into a list of GtkTreeRowReferences.
To do this, you can use gtk_tree_row_reference_new()
.
To free the return value, use:
1 2 |
g_list_foreach (list, (GFunc) gtk_tree_path_free, NULL); g_list_free (list); |
Parameters
selection |
||
model |
A pointer to set to the GtkTreeModel, or |
[out][allow-none][transfer none] |
Returns
A GList containing a GtkTreePath for each selected row.
[element-type GtkTreePath][transfer full]
Since 2.2
gtk_tree_selection_count_selected_rows ()
gint
gtk_tree_selection_count_selected_rows
(GtkTreeSelection *selection
);
Returns the number of rows that have been selected in tree
.
Since 2.2
gtk_tree_selection_select_path ()
void gtk_tree_selection_select_path (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreePath *path
);
Select the row at path
.
gtk_tree_selection_unselect_path ()
void gtk_tree_selection_unselect_path (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreePath *path
);
Unselects the row at path
.
gtk_tree_selection_path_is_selected ()
gboolean gtk_tree_selection_path_is_selected (GtkTreeSelection *selection
,GtkTreePath *path
);
Returns TRUE
if the row pointed to by path
is currently selected. If path

gtk_tree_selection_iter_is_selected ()
gboolean gtk_tree_selection_iter_is_selected (GtkTreeSelection *selection

Signal Details
The “changed”
signal
void user_function (GtkTreeSelection *treeselection, gpointer user_data)
Emitted whenever the selection has (possibly) changed. Please note that this signal is mostly a hint. It may only be emitted once when a range of rows are selected, and it may occasionally be emitted when nothing has happened.
Parameters
treeselection |
the object which received the signal. |
|
user_data |
user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
Flags: Run First
