Struct gtk4::IconView[][src]

pub struct IconView(_);
Expand description

IconView is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.

IconView provides an alternative view on a TreeModel. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like TreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see set_selection_mode()). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, IconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), IconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes

iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]

IconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

This function is supposed to be used in a GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal handler for IconView. The x, y and keyboard_tip values which are received in the signal handler, should be passed to this function without modification.

The return value indicates whether there is an icon view item at the given coordinates (true) or not (false) for mouse tooltips. For keyboard tooltips the item returned will be the cursor item. When true, then any of model, path and iter which have been provided will be set to point to that row and the corresponding model.

start_path

Return location for start of region

end_path

Return location for end of region

Returns true if the icon pointed to by path is currently selected. If path does not point to a valid location, false is returned.

path

A TreePath to check selection on.

Returns

true if path is selected.

Moves the alignments of self to the position specified by path. row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is false, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the self is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

path

The path of the item to move to.

use_align

whether to use alignment arguments, or false.

row_align

The vertical alignment of the item specified by path.

col_align

single

true to emit item-activated on a single click

Sets the ::column-spacing property which specifies the space which is inserted between the columns of the icon view.

column_spacing

the column spacing

Sets the ::columns property which determines in how many columns the icons are arranged. If columns is -1, the number of columns will be chosen automatically to fill the available area.

columns

the number of columns

Sets the current keyboard focus to be at path, and selects it. This is useful when you want to focus the user’s attention on a particular item. If cell is not None, then focus is given to the cell specified by it. Additionally, if start_editing is true, then editing should be started in the specified cell.

This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (icon_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

Sets the ::margin property which specifies the space which is inserted at the top, bottom, left and right of the icon view.

margin

the margin

Sets the column with markup information for self to be column. The markup column must be of type G_TYPE_STRING. If the markup column is set to something, it overrides the text column set by set_text_column().

Sets the column with pixbufs for self to be column. The pixbuf column must be of type GDK_TYPE_PIXBUF

column

A column in the currently used model, or -1 to disable

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkTreeDragSourceIface and the GtkTreeDragDestIface. Both TreeStore and ListStore support these. If reorderable is true, then the user can reorder the model by dragging and dropping rows. The developer can listen to these changes by connecting to the model’s row_inserted and row_deleted signals. The reordering is implemented by setting up the icon view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.

This function does not give you any degree of control over the order – any reordering is allowed. If more control is needed, you should probably handle drag and drop manually.

reorderable

true, if the list of items can be reordered.

Sets the ::row-spacing property which specifies the space which is inserted between the rows of the icon view.

row_spacing

the row spacing

Sets the selection mode of the self.

mode

column

A column in the currently used model, or -1 to display no text

Sets the tip area of tooltip to the area which cell occupies in the item pointed to by path. See also Tooltip::set_tip_area().

See also set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative.

tooltip

a Tooltip

path

a TreePath

cell

a CellRenderer

If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full items, you can use this function to have IconView handle these automatically for you. column should be set to the column in self’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.

When enabled, GtkWidget:has-tooltip will be set to true and self will connect a GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal handler.

Note that the signal handler sets the text with Tooltip::set_markup(), so &, <, etc have to be escaped in the text.

column

an integer, which is a valid column number for self’s model

Sets the tip area of tooltip to be the area covered by the item at path. See also set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative. See also Tooltip::set_tip_area().

path

Unselects all the icons.

Unselects the row at path.

path

The CellArea used to layout cell renderers for this view.

If no area is specified when creating the icon view with with_area() a CellAreaBox will be used.

A [keybinding signal]SignalAction which gets emitted when the user activates the currently focused item.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control activation programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal are Space, Return and Enter.

The ::item-activated signal is emitted when the method item_activated() is called, when the user double clicks an item with the “activate-on-single-click” property set to false, or when the user single clicks an item when the “activate-on-single-click” property set to true. It is also emitted when a non-editable item is selected and one of the keys: Space, Return or Enter is pressed.

path

the TreePath for the activated item

The ::move-cursor signal is a [keybinding signal]SignalAction which gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement.

Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with g_signal_emit_by_name() if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

The default bindings for this signal include

  • Arrow keys which move by individual steps
  • Home/End keys which move to the first/last item
  • PageUp/PageDown which move by “pages” All of these will extend the selection when combined with the Shift modifier.
step

The ::selection-changed signal is emitted when the selection (i.e. the set of selected items) changes.

A [keybinding signal]SignalAction which gets emitted when the user toggles whether the currently focused item is selected or not. The exact effect of this depend on the selection mode.
