Overview

A visible column in a [classGtk.TreeView] widget

The GtkTreeViewColumn object represents a visible column in a GtkTreeView widget. It allows to set properties of the column header, and functions as a holding pen for the cell renderers which determine how the data in the column is displayed.

Please refer to the tree widget conceptual overview for an overview of all the objects and data types related to the tree widget and how they work together, and to the [classGtk.TreeView] documentation for specifics about the CSS node structure for treeviews and their headers.

Constructor Details

#initialize(title, cell, array) ⇒ Gtk::TreeViewColumn

Creates a new GtkTreeViewColumn with a number of default values. This is equivalent to calling gtk_tree_view_column_set_title(), gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(), and gtk_tree_view_column_set_attributes() on the newly created GtkTreeViewColumn.

Here’s a simple example:

 enum { TEXT_COLUMN, COLOR_COLUMN, N_COLUMNS };
 // ...
 {
   GtkTreeViewColumn *column;
   GtkCellRenderer   *renderer = gtk_cell_renderer_text_new ();

   column = gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_attributes ("Title",
                                                      renderer,
                                                      "text", TEXT_COLUMN,
                                                      "foreground", COLOR_COLUMN,
                                                      NULL);
 }

Parameters:

  • title (String) —

    The title to set the header to

  • cell (Gtk::CellRenderer) —

    The GtkCellRenderer

  • array (Array) —

    A nil-terminated list of attributes

Instance Method Details

#add_attribute(cell_renderer, attribute, column) ⇒ nil

Adds an attribute mapping to the list in tree_column.

The column is the column of the model to get a value from, and the attribute is the parameter on cell_renderer to be set from the value. So for example if column 2 of the model contains strings, you could have the “text” attribute of a GtkCellRendererText get its values from column 2.

Parameters:

  • cell_renderer (Gtk::CellRenderer) —

    the GtkCellRenderer to set attributes on

  • attribute (String) —

    An attribute on the renderer

  • column (Integer) —

    The column position on the model to get the attribute from.

Returns:

  • (nil)

#alignment ⇒ Gtk::gfloat

Returns alignment.

Returns:

  • (Gtk::gfloat) —

    alignment

#alignment=(alignment) ⇒ Gtk::gfloat

Parameters:

  • alignment (Gtk::gfloat)

Returns:

  • (Gtk::gfloat) —

    alignment

  • (Gtk::gfloat) —

    alignment

#button ⇒ Gtk::Widget

Returns the button used in the treeview column header

Returns:

#cell_area ⇒ Gtk::CellArea

The GtkCellArea used to layout cell renderers for this column.

If no area is specified when creating the tree view column with gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_area() a horizontally oriented GtkCellAreaBox will be used.

Returns:

#cell_area=(cell_area) ⇒ Gtk::CellArea

The GtkCellArea used to layout cell renderers for this column.

If no area is specified when creating the tree view column with gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_area() a horizontally oriented GtkCellAreaBox will be used.

Parameters:

Returns:

#cell_get_position(cell_renderer, x_offset, width) ⇒ Boolean

Obtains the horizontal position and size of a cell in a column.

If the cell is not found in the column, start_pos and width are not changed and false is returned.

Parameters:

  • cell_renderer (Gtk::CellRenderer) —

    a GtkCellRenderer

  • x_offset (Integer) —

    return location for the horizontal position of cell within tree_column

  • width (Integer) —

    return location for the width of cell

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true if cell belongs to tree_column

#cell_get_size(x_offset, y_offset, width, height) ⇒ nil

Obtains the width and height needed to render the column. This is used primarily by the GtkTreeView.

Parameters:

  • x_offset (Integer) —

    location to return x offset of a cell relative to cell_area

    true, if any of the cells packed into the tree_column are currently visible

#cell_set_cell_data(tree_model, iter, is_expander, is_expanded) ⇒ nil

Sets the cell renderer based on the tree_model and iter. That is, for every attribute mapping in tree_column, it will get a value from the set column on the iter, and use that value to set the attribute on the cell renderer. This is used primarily by the GtkTreeView.

Parameters:

  • tree_model (Gtk::TreeModel) —
