Instance Method Details

#append(iter, parent) ⇒ nil

Appends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-nil, then it will append the new row after the last child of parent, otherwise it will append a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set to the appended row

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

Returns:

  • (nil)

#clearnil

Removes all rows from tree_store

Returns:

  • (nil)

#insert(iter, parent, position) ⇒ nil

Creates a new row at position. If parent is non-nil, then the row will be made a child of parent. Otherwise, the row will be created at the toplevel. If position is -1 or is larger than the number of rows at that level, then the new row will be inserted to the end of the list. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set to the new row

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • position (Integer)

    position to insert the new row, or -1 for last

Returns:

  • (nil)

#insert_after(iter, parent, sibling) ⇒ nil

Inserts a new row after sibling. If sibling is nil, then the row will be prepended to parent ’s children. If parent and sibling are nil, then the row will be prepended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional.

iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set to the new row

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • sibling (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

Returns:

  • (nil)

#insert_before(iter, parent, sibling) ⇒ nil

Inserts a new row before sibling. If sibling is nil, then the row will be appended to parent ’s children. If parent and sibling are nil, then the row will be appended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional.

iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set to the new row

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • sibling (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

Returns:

  • (nil)

#insert_with_values(iter, parent, position, array) ⇒ nil

Creates a new row at position. iter will be changed to point to this new row. If position is -1, or larger than the number of rows on the list, then the new row will be appended to the list. The row will be filled with the values given to this function.

Calling ‘gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values (tree_store, iter, position, …)` has the same effect as calling

gtk_tree_store_insert (tree_store, iter, position);
gtk_tree_store_set (tree_store, iter, ...);

with the different that the former will only emit a row_inserted signal, while the latter will emit row_inserted, row_changed and if the tree store is sorted, rows_reordered. Since emitting the rows_reordered signal repeatedly can affect the performance of the program, gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values() should generally be preferred when inserting rows in a sorted tree store.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set the new row, or nil.

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • position (Integer)

    position to insert the new row, or -1 to append after existing rows

  • array (Array)

    pairs of column number and value, terminated with -1

Returns:

  • (nil)

#insert_with_valuesv(iter, parent, position, columns, values, n_values) ⇒ nil

A variant of gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values() which takes the columns and values as two arrays, instead of varargs. This function is mainly intended for language bindings.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set the new row, or nil.

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • position (Integer)

    position to insert the new row, or -1 for last

  • columns (Array<Integer>)

    an array of column numbers

  • values (Array<GObject::Value>)

    an array of GValues

  • n_values (Integer)

    the length of the columns and values arrays

Returns:

  • (nil)

#is_ancestor(iter, descendant) ⇒ TrueClass

Returns true if iter is an ancestor of descendant. That is, iter is the parent (or grandparent or great-grandparent) of descendant.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter

  • descendant (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter

Returns:

  • (TrueClass)

    true, if iter is an ancestor of descendant

#iter_depth(iter) ⇒ Integer

Returns the depth of iter. This will be 0 for anything on the root level, 1 for anything down a level, etc.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter

Returns:

  • (Integer)

    The depth of iter

#iter_is_valid(iter) ⇒ TrueClass

WARNING: This function is slow. Only use it for debugging and/or testing purposes.

Checks if the given iter is a valid iter for this Gtk::TreeStore.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter.

Returns:

  • (TrueClass)

    true if the iter is valid, false if the iter is invalid.

#move_after(iter, position) ⇒ nil

Moves iter in tree_store to the position after position. iter and position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If position is nil, iter will be moved to the start of the level.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter.

  • position (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#move_before(iter, position) ⇒ nil

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter.

  • position (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter or nil.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#new(n_columns, array) ⇒ Gtk::TreeStore

Creates a new tree store as with n_columns columns each of the types passed in. Note that only types derived from standard GObject fundamental types are supported.

As an example, ‘gtk_tree_store_new (3, G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_STRING, GDK_TYPE_PIXBUF);` will create a new Gtk::TreeStore with three columns, of type #gint, #gchararray, and Gdk::Pixbuf respectively.

Parameters:

  • n_columns (Integer)

    number of columns in the tree store

  • array (Array)

    all #GType types for the columns, from first to last

Returns:

#newv(n_columns, types) ⇒ Gtk::TreeStore

Non vararg creation function. Used primarily by language bindings.

Parameters:

  • n_columns (Integer)

    number of columns in the tree store

  • types (Array<GLib::Type>)

    an array of #GType types for the columns, from first to last

Returns:

#prepend(iter, parent) ⇒ nil

Prepends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-nil, then it will prepend the new row before the first child of parent, otherwise it will prepend a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    An unset Gtk::TreeIter to set to the prepended row

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

Returns:

  • (nil)

#remove(iter) ⇒ TrueClass

Removes iter from tree_store. After being removed, iter is set to the next valid row at that level, or invalidated if it previously pointed to the last one.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter

Returns:

  • (TrueClass)

    true if iter is still valid, false if not.

#reorder(parent, new_order) ⇒ nil

Reorders the children of parent in tree_store to follow the order indicated by new_order. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores.

Parameters:

  • parent (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A Gtk::TreeIter, or nil

  • new_order (Array<Integer>)

    an array of integers mapping the new position of each child to its old position before the re-ordering, i.e. new_order` = oldpos`.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#set(iter, array) ⇒ nil

Sets 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 the value to be set. The list is terminated by a -1. For example, to set column 0 with type %G_TYPE_STRING to “Foo”, you would write ‘gtk_tree_store_set (store, iter, 0, “Foo”, -1)`.

The value will be referenced by the store if it is a %G_TYPE_OBJECT, and it will be copied if it is a %G_TYPE_STRING or %G_TYPE_BOXED.

Parameters:

  • iter (Gtk::TreeIter)

    A valid Gtk::TreeIter for the row being modified

  • array (Array)

    pairs of column number and value, terminated with -1

Returns:

  • (nil)

#set_column_types(n_columns, types) ⇒ nil

This function is meant primarily for #GObjects that inherit from Gtk::TreeStore, and should only be used when constructing a new Gtk::TreeStore. It will not function after a row has been added, or a method on the Gtk::TreeModel interface is called.

Parameters:

  • n_columns (Integer)

    Number of columns for the tree store

  • types (Array<GLib::Type>)

    An array of #GType types, one for each column

Returns:
