GI.Gtk.Objects.ColumnView

GtkColumnView presents a large dynamic list of items using multiple columns with headers.

GtkColumnView uses the factories of its columns to generate a cell widget for each column, for each visible item and displays them together as the row for this item.

The ColumnView:showRowSeparators and ColumnView:showColumnSeparators properties offer a simple way to display separators between the rows or columns.

GtkColumnView allows the user to select items according to the selection characteristics of the model. For models that allow multiple selected items, it is possible to turn on *rubberband selection*, using ColumnView:enableRubberband.

The column view supports sorting that can be customized by the user by clicking on column headers. To set this up, the GtkSorter returned by columnViewGetSorter must be attached to a sort model for the data that the view is showing, and the columns must have sorters attached to them by calling columnViewColumnSetSorter. The initial sort order can be set with columnViewSortByColumn.

The column view also supports interactive resizing and reordering of columns, via Drag-and-Drop of the column headers. This can be enabled or disabled with the ColumnView:reorderable and ColumnViewColumn:resizable properties.

To learn more about the list widget framework, see the overview.

CSS nodes

╰── [rubberband]

GtkColumnView uses a single CSS node named columnview. It may carry the .column-separators style class, when ColumnView:showColumnSeparators property is set. Header widgets appear below a node with name header. The rows are contained in a GtkListView widget, so there is a listview node with the same structure as for a standalone GtkListView widget. If ColumnView:showRowSeparators is set, it will be passed on to the list view, causing its CSS node to carry the .separators style class. For rubberband selection, a node with name rubberband is used.

The main columnview node may also carry style classes to select the style of list presentation: .rich-list, .navigation-sidebar or .data-table.

Accessibility

GtkColumnView uses the AccessibleRoleTreeGrid role, header title widgets are using the AccessibleRoleColumnHeader role. The row widgets are using the AccessibleRoleRow role, and individual cells are using the AccessibleRoleGridCell role

Returns: the GtkSorter of self

Returns a special sorter that reflects the users sorting choices in the column view.

To allow users to customizable sorting by clicking on column headers, this sorter needs to be set on the sort model underneath the model that is displayed by the view.

See columnViewColumnSetSorter for setting up per-column sorting.

Here is an example:

c code

gtk_column_view_column_set_sorter (column, sorter);
gtk_column_view_append_column (view, column);
sorter = g_object_ref (gtk_column_view_get_sorter (view)));
model = gtk_sort_list_model_new (store, sorter);

=> a

self: a GtkColumnView

-> Maybe b

column: the GtkColumnViewColumn to sort by

-> SortType

direction: the direction to sort in

-> m ()

Sets the sorting of the view.

This function should be used to set up the initial sorting. At runtime, users can change the sorting of a column view by clicking on the list headers.

This call only has an effect if the sorter returned by columnViewGetSorter is set on a sort model, and columnViewColumnSetSorter has been called on column to associate a sorter with the column.

If column is Nothing, the view will be unsorted.

Signals

activate

type ColumnViewActivateCallback

Arguments

 = Word32

position: position of item to activate

-> IO ()

Emitted when a row has been activated by the user, usually via activating the GtkListBase|list.activate-item action.

This allows for a convenient way to handle activation in a columnview. See listItemSetActivatable for details on how to use this signal.

afterColumnViewActivate :: (IsColumnView a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => ColumnViewActivateCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the activate signal, to be run after the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

after columnView #activate callback

By default the object invoking the signal is not passed to the callback. If you need to access it, you can use the implit ?self parameter. Note that this requires activating the ImplicitParams GHC extension.

onColumnViewActivate :: (IsColumnView a, MonadIO m) => a -> ((?self :: a) => ColumnViewActivateCallback) -> m SignalHandlerId

Connect a signal handler for the activate signal, to be run before the default handler. When overloading is enabled, this is equivalent to

on columnView #activate callback
