Struct gtk4::ColumnView

#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct ColumnView { /* private fields */ }

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

ColumnView 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 property::ColumnView::show-row-separators and property::ColumnView::show-column-separators properties offer a simple way to display separators between the rows or columns.

ColumnView 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 property::ColumnView::enable-rubberband.

The column view supports sorting that can be customized by the user by clicking on column headers. To set this up, the Sorter returned by sorter() 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 ColumnViewColumn::set_sorter(). The initial sort order can be set with sort_by_column().

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 property::ColumnView::reorderable and property::ColumnViewColumn::resizable properties.

CSS nodes

ColumnView uses a single CSS node named columnview. It may carry the .column-separators style class, when property::ColumnView::show-column-separators property is set. Header widgets appear below a node with name header. The rows are contained in a ListView widget, so there is a listview node with the same structure as for a standalone ListView widget. If property::ColumnView::show-row-separators 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

ColumnView uses the AccessibleRole::TreeGrid role, header title widgets are using the AccessibleRole::ColumnHeader role. The row widgets are using the AccessibleRole::Row role, and individual cells are using the AccessibleRole::GridCell role

Implementations

impl ColumnView

pub fn new(model: Option<&impl IsA<SelectionModel>>) -> ColumnView

Creates a new ColumnView.

You most likely want to call append_column() to add columns next.

model

the list model to use

Returns

a new ColumnView

pub fn builder() -> ColumnViewBuilder

Creates a new builder-pattern struct instance to construct ColumnView objects.

This method returns an instance of ColumnViewBuilder which can be used to create ColumnView objects.

pub fn append_column(&self, column: &ColumnViewColumn)

Appends the @column to the end of the columns in @self.

column

a ColumnViewColumn that hasn’t been added to a ColumnView yet

pub fn columns(&self) -> ListModel

Gets the list of columns in this column view.

This list is constant over the lifetime of @self and can be used to monitor changes to the columns of @self by connecting to the ::items-changed signal.

Returns

The list managing the columns

pub fn enables_rubberband(&self) -> bool

Returns whether rows can be selected by dragging with the mouse.

Returns

true if rubberband selection is enabled

pub fn model(&self) -> Option<SelectionModel>

Gets the model that’s currently used to read the items displayed.

Returns

The model in use

pub fn is_reorderable(&self) -> bool

Returns whether columns are reorderable.

Returns

true if columns are reorderable

pub fn shows_column_separators(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the list should show separators between columns.

Returns

true if the list shows column separators

pub fn shows_row_separators(&self) -> bool

Returns whether the list should show separators between rows.

Returns

true if the list shows separators

pub fn is_single_click_activate(&self) -> bool

Returns whether rows will be activated on single click and selected on hover.

Returns

true if rows are activated on single click

pub fn sorter(&self) -> Option<Sorter>

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 ColumnViewColumn::set_sorter() for setting up per-column sorting.

Here is an example: ⚠️ The following code is in c ⚠️

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);
selection = gtk_no_selection_new (model);
gtk_column_view_set_model (view, selection);

Returns

the Sorter of @self

pub fn insert_column(&self, position: u32, column: &ColumnViewColumn)

Inserts a column at the given position in the columns of @self.

If @column is already a column of @self, it will be repositioned.

position

the position to insert @column at

column

the ColumnViewColumn to insert

pub fn remove_column(&self, column: &ColumnViewColumn)

Removes the @column from the list of columns of @self.

column

a ColumnViewColumn that’s part of @self

pub fn set_enable_rubberband(&self, enable_rubberband: bool)

Sets whether selections can be changed by dragging with the mouse.

enable_rubberband

true to enable rubberband selection

pub fn set_model(&self, model: Option<&impl IsA<SelectionModel>>)

Sets the model to use.

This must be a SelectionModel.

model

the model to use

pub fn set_reorderable(&self, reorderable: bool)

Sets whether columns should be reorderable by dragging.

reorderable

whether columns should be reorderable

pub fn set_show_column_separators(&self, show_column_separators: bool)

Sets whether the list should show separators between columns.

show_column_separators

true to show column separators

pub fn set_show_row_separators(&self, show_row_separators: bool)

Sets whether the list should show separators between rows.

show_row_separators

true to show row separators

pub fn set_single_click_activate(&self, single_click_activate: bool)

Sets whether rows should be activated on single click and selected on hover.

single_click_activate

true to activate items on single click

pub fn sort_by_column(
    &self,
    column: Option<&ColumnViewColumn>,
    direction: SortType
)

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 sorter() is set on a sort model, and ColumnViewColumn::set_sorter() has been called on @column to associate a sorter with the column.

If @column is None, the view will be unsorted.

column

the ColumnViewColumn to sort by

direction

the direction to sort in

pub fn connect_activate<F: Fn(&Self, u32) + 'static>(
    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

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 ListItem::set_activatable() for details on how to use this signal.

position

position of item to activate

pub fn connect_columns_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(
    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

pub fn connect_enable_rubberband_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(
    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

pub fn connect_model_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(
    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

pub fn connect_reorderable_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(

) -> SignalHandlerId

pub fn connect_show_column_separators_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(
    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

    &self,
    f: F
) -> SignalHandlerId

pub fn connect_single_click_activate_notify<F: Fn(&Self) + 'static>(
    &self,
