## Detailed Description

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeView::Column.

This is a visible column in a Gtk::TreeView widget. It determines the geometry, type.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef TreeViewColumn Gtk::TreeViewColumn::Column

typedef sigc::slot<void, CellRenderer*, const Gtk::TreeModel::iterator&> Gtk::TreeViewColumn::SlotCellData

For instance, void on_cell_data(Gtk::CellRenderer* cell, const Gtk::TreeModel::iterator& iter);.

This function is used instead of the standard attributes mapping for setting the column value, and should set the value of the column's cell renderer as appropriate.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

|  | const Glib::ustring & | attribute,
|  | int | column
| ) |  |

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 Gtk::CellRendererText get its values from column 2.

Parameters

  cell_renderer | The Gtk::CellRenderer to set attributes on.
  attribute | An attribute on the renderer.
  column | The column position on the model to get the attribute from.

| ) |  |

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 Gtk::TreeView.

Parameters

  tree_model | The Gtk::TreeModel to to get the cell renderers attributes from.
  iter | The Gtk::TreeIter to to get the cell renderer's attributes from.
  is_expander | `true`, if the row has children.
  is_expanded | `true`, if the row has visible children.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::pack_end | ( | CellRenderer& | cell,
|  | bool | expand = `true`
| ) |  |

Adds the cell to end of the column.

If expand is `false`, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is `true`.

Parameters

  cell | The Gtk::CellRenderer.
  expand | `true` if cell is to be given extra space allocated to tree_column.

template <class T_ModelColumnType >

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::pack_end | ( | const TreeModelColumn< T_ModelColumnType >& | column,
|  | bool | expand = `true`
| ) |  |

Creates an appropriate CellRenderer for the column, and packs that cell at the end of the column.

If expand is `false`, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is `true`.

You can use get_first_cell() or get_cell_renderers() to access the generated CellRenderer.

Parameters

  column | The model column that will be rendered by the view cell.
  expand | `true` if the cell is to be given extra space allocated to the view column.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::pack_start | ( | CellRenderer& | cell,
|  | bool | expand = `true`
| ) |  |

Since gtkmm 2.8:

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_alignment | ( | float | xalign | ) |

Sets the alignment of the title or custom widget inside the column header.

The alignment determines its location inside the button – 0.0 for left, 0.5 for center, 1.0 for right.

Parameters

  xalign | The alignment, which is between [0.0 and 1.0] inclusive.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_alignment | ( | AlignmentEnum | xalign | ) |

Sets the alignment of the title or custom widget inside the column header.

The alignment determines its location inside the button – 0.0 for left, 0.5 for center, 1.0 for right.

Parameters

  xalign | The alignment, which is between [0.0 and 1.0] inclusive.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_cell_data_func | ( | CellRenderer& | cell_renderer,
|  | const SlotCellData& | slot
| ) |  |

Sets the slot callback to use for the column.

This callback function is used instead of the standard attributes mapping for setting the column value, and should set the value of the column's cell renderer as appropriate.

See also unset_cell_data_func().

Parameters

  cell_renderer | A Gtk::CellRenderer
  slot | The callback slot to use. Create this with sigc::mem_fun(), or sigc::ptr_fun().

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_clickable | ( | bool | clickable = `true` | ) |

Sets the header to be active if active is `true`.

When the header is active, then it can take keyboard focus, and can be clicked.

Parameters

  clickable | `true` if the header is active.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_expand | ( | bool | expand = `true` | ) |

Sets the column to take available extra space.

This space is shared equally amongst all columns that have the expand set to `true`. If no column has this option set, then the last column gets all extra space. By default, every column is created with this `false`.

Since gtkmm 2.4:

Parameters

  expand | `true` if the column should take available extra space, `false` if not.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_fixed_width | ( | int | fixed_width | ) |

Sets the size of the column in pixels.

This is meaningful only if the sizing type is Gtk::TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED. The size of the column is clamped to the min/max width for the column. Please note that the min/max width of the column doesn't actually affect the "fixed_width" property of the widget, just the actual size when displayed.

Parameters

  fixed_width | The size to set tree_column to. Must be greater than 0.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_max_width | ( | int | max_width | ) |

Sets the maximum width of the tree_column.

If max_width is -1, then the maximum width is unset. Note, the column can actually be wider than max width if it's the last column in a view. In this case, the column expands to fill any extra space.

Parameters

  max_width | The maximum width of the column in pixels, or -1.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_min_width | ( | int | min_width | ) |

Sets the minimum width of the tree_column.

If min_width is -1, then the minimum width is unset.

Parameters

  min_width | The minimum width of the column in pixels, or -1.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_renderer | ( | Gtk::CellRenderer& | renderer,
|  | const TreeModelColumnBase& | column
| ) |  |

Associate a view CellRenderer with a model column, so that the CellRenderer renders the data in the model column.

Parameters

  renderer | The view cell renderer which will render the model column.
  column | The model column to be renderered by this view.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_reorderable | ( | bool | reorderable = `true` | ) |

If reorderable is `true`, then the column can be reordered by the end user dragging the header.

Parameters

  reorderable | `true`, if the column can be reordered.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_resizable | ( | bool | resizable = `true` | ) |

If resizable is `true`, then the user can explicitly resize the column by grabbing the outer edge of the column button.

If resizable is `true` and sizing mode of the column is Gtk::TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE, then the sizing mode is changed to Gtk::TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY.

Parameters

  resizable | `true`, if the column can be resized.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sizing | ( | TreeViewColumnSizing | type | ) |

Sets the growth behavior of tree_column to type.

Parameters

  type | The Gtk::TreeViewColumnSizing.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_column | ( | const TreeModelColumnBase& | sort_column_id | ) |

Sets the logical sort_column_id that this column sorts on when this column is selected for sorting.

Doing so makes the column header clickable.

Parameters

  sort_column_id | The sort_column_id of the model to sort on.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_column | ( | int | sort_column_id | ) |

Sets the logical sort_column_id that this column sorts on when this column is selected for sorting.

Doing so makes the column header clickable.

Parameters

  sort_column_id | The sort_column_id of the model to sort on.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_column_id | ( | const TreeModelColumnBase& | sort_column_id | ) |

Deprecated:
  Use set_sort_column() instead.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_column_id | ( | int | sort_column_id | ) |

Deprecated:
  Use set_sort_column() instead.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_indicator | ( | bool | setting | ) |

Call this function with a setting of `true` to display an arrow in the header button indicating the column is sorted.

Call set_sort_order() to change the direction of the arrow.

Parameters

  setting | `true` to display an indicator that the column is sorted.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_sort_order | ( | SortType | order | ) |

Changes the appearance of the sort indicator.

This does not actually sort the model. Use set_sort_column_id() if you want automatic sorting support. This function is primarily for custom sorting behavior, and should be used in conjunction with gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column() to do that. For custom models, the mechanism will vary.

The sort indicator changes direction to indicate normal sort or reverse sort. Note that you must have the sort indicator enabled to see anything when calling this function; see set_sort_indicator().

Parameters

  order | Sort order that the sort indicator should indicate.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_spacing | ( | int | spacing | ) |

Sets the spacing field of tree_column, which is the number of pixels to place between cell renderers packed into it.

Parameters

  spacing | Distance between cell renderers in pixels.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_title | ( | const Glib::ustring & | title | ) |

Sets the title of the tree_column.

If a custom widget has been set, then this value is ignored.

Parameters

  title | The title of the tree_column.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_visible | ( | bool | visible = `true` | ) |

Sets the visibility of tree_column.

Parameters

  visible | `true` if the tree_column is visible.

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::set_widget | ( | Gtk::Widget& | widget | ) |

Sets the widget in the header to be widget.

If widget is `nullptr`, then the header button is set with a Gtk::Label set to the title of tree_column.

Parameters

  widget | A child Gtk::Widget, or `nullptr`.

Glib::SignalProxy< void > Gtk::TreeViewColumn::signal_clicked | ( |  | ) |

Slot Prototype:
  `void on_my_clicked()`

void Gtk::TreeViewColumn::unset_cell_data_func | ( | CellRenderer& | cell_renderer | ) |

Removes a previously set callback slot.

See set_cell_data_func().
