Description

This widget is deprecated. Use Gtk.Tree_View instead.

This widget displays a multi-column list. Each line is made of a number of column, each being able to display any kind of widget.

The intersection of a line and a column is called a Cell. Each cell can have a different type (Cell_Text, Cell_Pixmap, Cell_Pixtext), and display its contents depending on this type. For instance, the text is not displayed in the type is Cell_Pixmap. Note that this type is changed dynamically by some of the subprograms below, like Set_Pixmap, Set_Text, ... and Set_Cell_Contents

This is one of the most powerful widgets in GtkAda, that can be used to display an kind of information. Look also into using Gtk_Ctree, which is a similar widget.

You can add scrolling in a Gtk_Clist by adding it in a Gtk_Scrolled_Window.

Types

  • type Gtk_Button_Action is new Guint;
  • type Gtk_Cell_Type is (Cell_Empty, Cell_Text, Cell_Pixmap, Cell_Pixtext, Cell_Widget);
  • type Gtk_Clist is access all Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  • type Gtk_Clist_Compare_Func is access function (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row1 : Gtk_Clist_Row; Row2 : Gtk_Clist_Row) return Gint;
    Function used when sorting a clist. This function takes two rows as its arguments, and should return a Gint indicating in which order the rows are found (-1 if Row1 comes first, 0 if they are equal, 1 if Row2 comes first).
  • type Gtk_Clist_Record is new Gtk.Container.Gtk_Container_Record with private;
  • type Gtk_Clist_Row is new Gdk.C_Proxy;
    A row of the clist. Application-specific data can be associated with each row. In the following subprograms, rows can also be accessed via their number, starting from 0.
  • type Gtk_Sort_Type is (Ascending, Descending);

Subprograms

    Creating a list and setting the attributes

  • procedure Gtk_New (Widget : out Gtk_Clist; Columns : in Gint);
    Create a list with Columns columns. Each line will have this exact number of column The number of columns can not be changed once the widget has been created.
  • procedure Initialize (Widget : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Columns : in Gint);
    Internal initialization function. See the section "Creating your own widgets" in the documentation.
  • procedure Gtk_New (Widget : out Gtk_Clist; Columns : in Gint; Titles : in Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array);
    Create a new list with Columns columns. The title of the columns is specified in Titles. The results are undefined (and can raise an exception) if Titles does not have at least Columns items.
  • procedure Initialize (Widget : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Columns : in Gint; Titles : in Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array);
    Internal initialization function. See the section "Creating your own widgets" in the documentation.
  • function Get_Type return Gtk.Gtk_Type;
    Return the internal value associated with a Gtk_Clist.
  • procedure Set_Hadjustment (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Adjustment : Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
    Set the horizontal adjustment used for the clist. Note that such an adjustment is automatically created when the clist is added to a Gtk_Scrolled_Window. You should rather use Gtk.Scrolled_Window.Set_Hadjustment if you want to modify the adjustment. If there was already such an adjustment, it is unref-ed, and might be deleted.
  • procedure Set_Vadjustment (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Adjustment : Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
    Set the vertical adjustment used for the clist. Note that such an adjustment is automatically created when the clist is added to a Gtk_Scrolled_Window. You should rather use Gtk.Scrolled_Window.Set_Hadjustment if you want to modify the adjustment. If there was already such an adjustment, it is unref-ed, and might be deleted.
  • function Get_Hadjustment (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment;
    Return the horizontal adjustment used for the clist. This indicates what position the clist is presently displaying, and by changing its value, the clist is automatically scrolled horizontally. This is done automatically when the clist's parent is a Gtk_Scrolled_Window.
  • function Get_Vadjustment (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment;
    Return the vertical adjustment used for the clist. This indicates what position the clist is presently displaying, and by changing its value, the clist is automatically scrolled vertically. This is done automatically when the clist's parent is a Gtk_Scrolled_Window.
  • procedure Set_Selection_Mode (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Mode : in Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Selection_Mode);
    Modify the selection mode for the clist. This indicates whether one or more lines can be selected at the same time in the clist, and how this selection can done by the user (does he have to click explicitly on an item, or can he browse through the clist and select the last item he was on, etc.)

    Note that changing the selection mode to Selection_Single or Selection_Browse will deselect all the items in the clist.

  • function Get_Selection_Mode (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Selection_Mode;
    Return the selection mode for the clist.
  • Visual aspects

  • procedure Freeze (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Freeze all visual updates on the list, while you make big changes. This is more efficient than working on an unfrozen list.
  • procedure Thaw (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Thaw the list, ie reactivate all the visual updates. This also forces an immediate refresh of the list. Note that each Freeze must be followed by a Thaw. The visual updates are not reactivated until the last Thaw has been emitted, but there is an immediate refresh every time anyway.
  • procedure Set_Shadow_Type (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; The_Type : in Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Shadow_Type);
    Set the border style of the clist.
  • Modifying the contents

  • function Append (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Text : in Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array) return Gint;
    Append a new row to the clist, and return the index of the row created. The row is added at the end of the Clist. The behavior is undefined if Text does not have at least as many items as there are columns in the Clist.
  • function Prepend (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Text : in Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array) return Gint;
    Add a new row at the beginning of the clist, and return its index. The behavior is undefined if Text does not have at least as many items as there are columns in the Clist.
  • procedure Insert (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Text : in Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array);
    Add a new row in the clist. The row 0 is the first in the clist. If Row is not in the range for clist, the new row is added at the end. The behavior is undefined if Text does not have enough items.

    Remove a row from the clist (0 is the first one).
  • procedure Clear (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Clears the entire list. This is much faster than doing a Remove on each line.
  • procedure Swap_Rows (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row1 : in Gint; Row2 : in Gint);
    Exchange the position of two rows in the clist.
  • procedure Row_Move (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Source_Row : in Gint; Dest_Row : in Gint);
    Move the row at Source_Row to Dest_Row (0 indicates the first row in the clist)

    Return the sort type currently used for the list
  • procedure Sort (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Sort the lines of the clist, based on the column set by Set_Sort_Column, and in the order set by Set_Sort_Type.
  • procedure Set_Auto_Sort (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Auto_Sort : Boolean);
    If Auto_Sort is true, then the clist will be automatically sorted every time a new line is inserted into the clist.
  • procedure Set_Compare_Func (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Func : Gtk_Clist_Compare_Func);
    Set the function used when sorting the list. This function takes two rows as its arguments, and should return a Gint indicating in which order the rows are found (-1 if Row1 comes first, 0 if they are equal, 1 if Row2 comes last). Func should be null to restore the default sorting functions.
  • Columns

  • function Get_Columns (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gint;
    Return the number of columns in the clist.
  • procedure Column_Titles_Hide (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Hide the column titles for the list. This is the default behavior if no column titles were given when the list was created.

    Show the column titles for the list. This is the default behavior if some column titles were given when the list was created.
  • procedure Column_Title_Active (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint);
    Set the column title to be an activate title. In other words, answer all button presses, highlights when the mouse is over it, ...
  • procedure Column_Title_Passive (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint);
    Set the column title to be passive. Act just as a title, and do not react to mouse events.

    Set the text for the button of the column's title. See Set_Column_Widget if you want to put a pixmap inside the button.
  • function Get_Column_Title (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint) return UTF8_String;
    Return the text used for the title's column. This is a copy of the title, so you can't modify it to automatically change the column's title.
  • procedure Set_Column_Widget (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Widget : access Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget_Record'Class);
    Modify the widget used in the Gtk_Button that is the column's title. By default, this button contains a simple Gtk_Label, which is replaced by Widget. This is the function to use if you want to put a pixmap (or a Gtk_Box that contains both a pixmap and some text) in a column's title.
  • function Get_Column_Widget (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint) return Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget;
    Return the child of the button that makes the column's title. Unless you changed it with Set_Column_Widget, this will return a Gtk_Label. Note also that if this widget was not created in Ada, but transparently by gtk+, you have to 'with' Gtk.Type_Conversion so that the correct type of the widget is created (See the user's guide for more information on type conversion).
  • procedure Set_Column_Justification (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Justification : in Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Justification);
    Change the way the text in the whole column is justified. This function has no effect on the title if you used Set_Column_Widget before.
  • procedure Set_Column_Visibility (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Visible : in Boolean);
    Modify the visibility of a column. Note that GtkAda prevents the last remaining visible column to be hidden. Nothing will be done if you try to hide that last column. See the example below for an example how to hide all the columns but one.
  • procedure Set_Column_Resizeable (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Resizeable : in Boolean);
    Set whether the column can be dynamically resized with the mouse. If Resizeable is true, then the column can be resized by clicking and dragging the lines that separates the column from the next one.
  • procedure Set_Column_Auto_Resize (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Auto_Resize : in Boolean);
    Set whether the column should automatically be resized to the optimal size (based on its contents). Note that this operation could slow things down a lot if you have a lot of items in your list.
  • function Columns_Autosize (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gint;
    Set all the columns' width to their optimal size. Return the total width of the clist after this operation.
  • function Optimal_Column_Width (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : Gint) return Gint;
    Return the optimal width for Column, based on its contents. This is the maximal cell width in the column.
  • procedure Set_Column_Width (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : in Gint; Width : in Gint);
    Set the column width in pixels. By default, the column's width is chosen from the column's title.
  • procedure Set_Column_Min_Width (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : Gint; Min_Width : Gint);
    Set the minimal width for the column, in pixels. if Min_Width is negative, there is no limit on the minimal width for the column.
  • procedure Set_Column_Max_Width (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Column : Gint; Max_Width : Gint);
    Set the maximal width for the column, in pixels. If Max_Width is negative, there is no limit on the maximal width for the column.

    Return the number of rows in the clist.
  • procedure Set_Row_Height (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Height : Gint);
    Set the height of the rows, in pixels. if Height is 0, the chosen height will be the current's font height.
  • function Row_Is_Visible (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint) return Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Visibility;
    Return the visibility status of the row.
  • procedure Set_Foreground (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Color : in Gdk.Color.Gdk_Color);
    Set the foreground color for the row. The color must already be allocated. If no such row exists in the list, nothing is done.
  • procedure Set_Background (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Color : in Gdk.Color.Gdk_Color);
    Set the background color for the row. The color must already be allocated. If no such row exists in the list, nothing is done.
  • procedure Set_Row_Style (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : Gint; Style : in Gtk.Style.Gtk_Style);
    Set the default style for the cells in the row. This can be overridden for each cell with Set_Cell_Style.

    Undo the last select/unselect operation.
  • procedure Get_Selection_Info (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; X : in Gint; Y : in Gint; Row : out Gint; Column : out Gint; Is_Valid : out Boolean);
    Return the Row/Column corresponding to the coordinates X,Y in the Row column. The coordinates X,Y are relative to the clist window (ie 0,0 is the top left corner of the clist). The result is valid only if Is_Valid is true
  • procedure Select_All (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
    Select all the rows in the clist. This only works if the selection mode allows for multiple rows selected at the same time (extended or multiple).
  • procedure Unselect_All (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record);

    Return the number of the line that currently has the focus.
  • function Get_Row_List (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Row_List.Glist;
    Return the list of all the rows in the clist. This might speed up the access to the rows a little. You can then use the function Set_Cell_Contents to modify the cells in the row, and Get_Text or Get_Pixmap to get its contents.
  • function Get_Selection (Widget : access Gtk_Clist_Record) return Gtk.Enums.Gint_List.Glist;
    Return the list of selected rows, by number.
  • Cells

  • function Get_Cell_Type (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint) return Gtk_Cell_Type;
    Return the type of the cell at Row/Column. This indicates which of the functions Get_Text. Get_Pixmap, etc. below you can use.
  • procedure Set_Text (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Text : in UTF8_String);
    Set the cell's text, replacing its current contents. This changes the type of the cell to Cell_Text. The pixmap (if any) will no longer be displayed.
  • function Get_Text (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint) return UTF8_String;
    Return the text contained in cell. The type of the cell should be either Cell_Text or Cell_Pixtext. If there was a problem, a null-length string is returned. The problem might appear in case the row or the column are invalid, or if the cell does not contain any text.
  • function Get_Text (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : Gtk_Clist_Row; Column : in Gint) return UTF8_String;
    Return the text contained in cell. The Row can be obtained from Get_Row_List, this function speeds up the access a little compared to the other Get_Text above.
  • procedure Set_Pixmap (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Pixmap : in Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : in Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
    Set the cell's pixmap, replacing its current contents. The type of the cell becomes Cell_Pixmap, and the text is no longer displayed.
  • procedure Get_Pixmap (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Pixmap : out Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : out Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap; Is_Valid : out Boolean);
    Return the pixmap contained in a cell. The type of the cell should be Cell_Pixmap. The result is meaningful only if Is_Valid is True. If the Cell did not contain a pixmap, Is_Valid is set to False
  • procedure Get_Pixmap (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gtk_Clist_Row; Column : in Gint; Pixmap : out Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : out Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap; Is_Valid : out Boolean);
    Return the pixmap contained in a cell. Row can be obtained directly with Get_Row_List, and speeds up the access a little compared to the previous Get_Pixmap function.
  • procedure Set_Pixtext (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Text : in UTF8_String; Spacing : in Guint8; Pixmap : in Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : in Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
    Set both the text and the pixmap for the cell. Replace its current contents. The type of the cell becomes Cell_Pixtext, and both the text and the pixmap are displayed.
  • procedure Get_Pixtext (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Spacing : out Guint8; Pixmap : out Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : out Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap; Is_Valid : out Boolean);
    The result is not meaningful if Is_Valid is False. The only way to get the string is to use Get_Text, since a String is an unconstrained type in Ada and is not really convenient to use as an out parameter.
  • procedure Set_Cell_Style (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Style : in Gtk.Style.Gtk_Style);
    Set the style (font, color, ...) used for the cell. This overrides the row's style.
  • function Get_Cell_Style (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint) return Gtk.Style.Gtk_Style;
    Return the style of the cell.
  • procedure Set_Shift (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Vertical : in Gint; Horizontal : in Gint);
    Set a horizontal and vertical shift for drawing the content of the cell. Both shifts can be either positive or negative. This is particularly useful for indenting items in a columns.
  • procedure Set_Cell_Contents (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : Gtk_Clist_Row; Column : Gint; Cell_Type : Gtk_Cell_Type; Text : UTF8_String; Spacing : Guint8; Pixmap : Gdk.Pixmap.Gdk_Pixmap; Mask : Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
    Modify the contents and type of a cell. Cell_Type indicates what should be displayed in the cell. Note that if you do not want any string, you should pass an empty string "". You get Row from Get_Row_List.
  • Reordering the list

  • procedure Set_Reorderable (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Reorderable : Boolean);
    Set whether the list can be dynamically reordered by the user. (using a simple drag-n-drop protocol).
  • procedure Set_Use_Drag_Icons (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Use_Icons : Boolean);
    Set whether drag icons are shown while the user is reordering the list. The default value is True.
  • procedure Set_Button_Actions (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Button : Guint; Button_Action : Gtk_Button_Action);
    Set the action for a specific button on the list. The default if for the left mouse button to select or drag and item, the other buttons are ignored. The Button_Expands action has no effect on a clist.
  • procedure Moveto (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record; Row : in Gint; Column : in Gint; Row_Align : in Gfloat; Col_Align : in Gfloat);
    Scroll the list so that Row/Column is visible. If Row is -1, the clist is not scrolled vertically. If Column is -1, the clist is not scrolled horizontally. The new location of Row/Column depends on the value of Row_Align and Col_Align (from 0.0x0.0 (top-left) to 1.0x1.0 (bottom-right), all intermediate values are possible).
  • Row_Data

    You can associate one private data with each row in the clist. If you want to store multiple values, you should create a record type that contains all the values, and associate with value with the relevant line in the clist. This package is the equivalent of Gtk.Widget.User_Data for the Clists.
  • function Get (Object : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : in Gint) return Data_Type;
    Get the data associated to a specific row.
  • function Get (Object : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : in Gtk_Clist_Row) return Data_Type;
    Same as above, but acts directly on a row obtained through Get_Row_List. This is faster for big lists.
  • procedure Set (Object : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : in Gint; Data : in Data_Type);
    Modify the data associated with a row
  • procedure Set (Object : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : in Gtk_Clist_Row; Data : in Data_Type);
    Same as above but acts directly on a row obtained through Get_Row_List. This is faster for big lists.

Signals

  • abort_column_resize
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Aborts the current interactive resizing of the column by the user. This releases the grab done on the pointer. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda.
  • click_column
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Column : Gint);

  • end_selection
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Ends the current selection process. This is never emitted internally by GtkAda, but acts as if the user had just released the mouse button.
  • extend_selection
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type; Position : Gfloat; Auto_Start_Selection : Boolean);

    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Source_Row : Gint; Dest_Row : Gint);
    Emitted to request the change of a Source_Row to Dest_Row. You should use Row_Move instead.
  • scroll_horizontal
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type; Position : Gfloat);
    Scrolls the clist horizontally. This also modifies the selection. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda. You should consider using Moveto instead.
  • scroll_vertical
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type; Position : Gfloat);
    Scrolls the clist vertically. This also modifies the selection. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda. You should consider using Moveto instead.
  • select_all
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Emitted to request the selection of all the rows in the Clist, if the selection mode allows. You should use Select_All instead.
  • select_row
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : Gint; Column : Gint; Event : Gdk.Event.Gdk_Event);
    Emitted when a row is selected. Column contains the column number in which the user has clicked, or -1 if the selection was done internally by GtkAda. Event will be null if the selection was not triggered by an event, eg if the row was selected through a call to Select_Row.
  • start_selection
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Request the start of the selection. This signal is not emitted internally by GtkAda, but acts as if the user had clicked on the focus row (the exact visual modification depends on the selection mode).
  • toggle_add_mode
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Changes the add_mode for the clist (indicates whether the next line clicked on will be added to the selection or will replace it). This is never emitted internally by GtkAda.
  • toggle_focus_row
    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
    Emitted to request the change of the selection status (selected/ unselected) of the focus row. This signal is not emitted internally by GtkAda.

    procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; Row : Gint; Column : Gint; Event : Gdk.Event.Gdk_Event);
    Emitted to request the unselection of a row. Event will be null most of the time when the event is emitted directly by GtkAda. You should use Unselect_Row instead.

Properties

Example

The procedure below shows how you can hide all the columns but one in the clist. Since Gtk_Clist prevents you to hide the last visible column, the following code does not work: -- Hide all the columns for J in 0 .. Get_Columns (Clist) loop Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, J, False); end loop; -- Show the one you want Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, New_Column, True); The following code should be used instead: package body Clist is procedure Hide_All_But_One (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class; New_Column : Gint) is begin Make sure that at least one column is visible Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, New_Column, True); Hide all the other columns. for J in 0 .. Get_Columns (Clist) loop if J /= New_Column then Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, J, False); end if; end loop; end Hide_All_But_One; end Clist;
