Description

This package implements a specific model to store your data in. It is basically similar to a small database, in that each field can contain any number of columns.

Each column can contain a different type of data, specified when the model is created.

Adding new values in the model is done as in the example at the end.

Types

  • type Data_Type is private;
  • type Data_Type_Access is access all Data_Type;
  • type Gtk_Tree_Store is access all Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class;
  • type Gtk_Tree_Store_Record is new Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Model_Record with null record;

Subprograms

  • procedure Gtk_New (Tree_Store : out Gtk_Tree_Store; Types : GType_Array);
    Create a new tree store using Types to fill the columns.
  • procedure Initialize (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class; Types : GType_Array);
    Internal initialization function. See the section "Creating your own widgets" in the documentation.
  • function Get_Type return Glib.GType;
    Return the internal value associated with this widget.
  • procedure Set_Column_Types (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Types : GType_Array);
    This function is meant primarily for GObjects that inherit from Gtk_Tree_Store, and should only be used when constructing a new Gtk_Tree_Store. It will not function after a row has been added, or a method on the Gtk_Tree_Model interface is called.
  • procedure Set_Value (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Glib.Values.GValue);
    Set a new value in the model. The value is added in the column Column, and in the line Iter. This is the most general of the Set procedures, since it allows you to control what should be done when the cell is freed (useful for instance for reference-controlled types). In particular, you would create a GValue of a special type derived from Boxed (see Glib.Value.Set_Boxed).

    The type of the column must be of the type stored in the GValue itself. Referencing the example given for Set_Boxed, this would be the value in "Typ".

  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Data_Type_Access);
    Generic procedure used to store access objects in the model. For GObject and all of its descendents (including all widgets), you should use the Set procedure below that takes a GObject as parameter.

    Please see the example at the end for more information on how to create your own Set procedures adapted to your model. Also consider using Set_Value for complex cases

  • function Get (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint) return Data_Type_Access;
    Generic procedure used to get access objects back from the model. For GObject and all of its descendents (including all widgets), you should use the Get_Object function defined in Gtk-Tree_Model that returns a GObject.
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : UTF8_String);
    Same as Generic_Set, but tailored to use with a string.
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Boolean);
    Same as Generic_Set, but tailored to use with a boolean.
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Gint);
    Same as Generic_Set, but tailored to use with an integer.
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Glib.C_Proxy);
    Same as Generic_Set, but tailored for Gdk types.
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Address : System.Address);
    Same as Generic_Set, for a generic address
  • procedure Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Glib.Object.GObject);
    Same as Generic_Set, but tailored to objects/widgets.
  • procedure Remove (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Remove Iter from Tree_Store. After being removed, Iter is set to Null_Iter.
  • procedure Insert (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Position : Gint);
    Create a new row at Position. If parent is non-null, then the row will be made a child of Parent. Otherwise, the row will be created at the toplevel. If Position 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 before this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call Set_Value.
  • procedure Insert_Before (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Sibling : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Insert a new row before Sibling. If Sibling is Null_Iter, then the row will be appended to the beginning of the Parent's children. If Parent and Sibling are Null_Iter, 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 Set_Value.
  • procedure Insert_After (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Sibling : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Insert a new row after Sibling. If Sibling is Null_Iter, then the row will be prepended to the beginning of the Parent's children. If Parent and Sibling are Null_Iter, 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 Set_Value.
  • procedure Prepend (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Prepend a new row to Tree_Store. If Parent is non-null, 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 Set_Value. The efficiency of this procedure is O(N).
  • procedure Append (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : in out Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Append a new row to Tree_Store. If Parent is non-null, 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 Set_Value. The efficiency of this procedure is O(N^2).
  • function Is_Ancestor (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Descendant : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter) return Boolean;
    Return True if Iter is an ancestor of Descendant. That is, Iter is the parent (or grandparent or great-grandparent) of Descendant.
  • function Iter_Depth (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter) return Gint;
    Returns the depth of Iter. This will be 0 for anything on the root level, 1 for anything down a level, etc.
  • function Iter_Is_Valid (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter) return Boolean;
    WARNING: This function is slow. Only use it for debugging and/or testing purposes. Checks if the given iter is a valid iter for Tree_Store.
  • procedure Move_After (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Position : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Moves the row pointed to by Iter 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 Null_Iter, Iter will be moved to the start of the level.
  • procedure Move_Before (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Position : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Moves the row pointed to by Iter to the position before Position. Iter and Position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If Position is Null_Iter, Iter will be
  • procedure Clear (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record);
    Removes all rows from Tree_Store
  • procedure Reorder (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; Parent : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; New_Order : Glib.Gint_Array);
    Reorders the children of Parent to follow the order indicated by New_order. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. New order is an array of integers mapping the new position of each child to its old position before the re-ordering, i.e. New_order[newpos] = oldpos
  • procedure Swap (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record; A : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; B : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter);
    Swaps the rows pointed to by A and B (in the same level). Note that this function only works with unsorted stores.
  • Sorting Freeze / Thaw

  • function Freeze_Sort (Tree : access Gtk.Tree_Store.Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class) return Gint;
    Freeze the sorting in the tree view, and returns the current sort_column_id, which should be used when thawing. (See Thaw_Sort)
  • procedure Thaw_Sort (Tree : access Gtk.Tree_Store.Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class; Column_Id : Gint);
    Thaw a frozen tree_view. Column_Id should be the value returned by the corresponding call to Freeze_Sort.

Example

Adding a new line in the model: declare Iter : Gtk_Text_Iter; Value : Glib.Values.GValue; begin Append (Model, Iter, Null_Iter); -- First method: Init (Value, GType_String); Set_String (Value, "foo"); Set_Value (Model, Iter, 0, Value); Unref (Value); -- Second method: Set (Model, Iter, 0, "foo"); end; Defining your own Set function for your model: This can be done by directly importing the C function, with the appropriate number of parameters. Remember that you are passing data directly to C, thus you need to end strings with ASCII.NUL procedure My_Set (Tree_Store : access Gtk_Tree_Store_Record'Class; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column1 : Gint; Value1 : UTF8_String; Column2 : Gint; Value2 : Boolean) is procedure Set_String (Tree : System.Address; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : UTF8_String); pragma Import (C, Set_String, "ada_gtk_tree_store_set_ptr"); procedure Set_Int (Tree : System.Address; Iter : Gtk.Tree_Model.Gtk_Tree_Iter; Column : Gint; Value : Gint); pragma Import (C, Internal, "ada_gtk_tree_store_set_int"); begin Internal (Get_Object (Tree_Store), Iter, Column1, Value1 & ASCII.NUL); Internal (Get_Object (Tree_Store), Iter, Column2, Boolean'Pos (Value2)); end Set;
