Struct gtk4::TreeExpander

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

TreeExpander is a widget that provides an expander for a list.

It is typically placed as a bottommost child into a ListView to allow users to expand and collapse children in a list with a TreeListModel. TreeExpander provides the common UI elements, gestures and keybindings for this purpose.

On top of this, the “listitem.expand”, “listitem.collapse” and “listitem.toggle-expand” actions are provided to allow adding custom UI for managing expanded state.

It is important to mention that you want to set the focusable property to FALSE when using this widget, as you want the keyboard focus to be in the treexpander, and not inside the list to make use of the keybindings.

The TreeListModel must be set to not be passthrough. Then it will provide TreeListRow items which can be set via set_list_row() on the expander. The expander will then watch that row item automatically. set_child() sets the widget that displays the actual row contents.

TreeExpander can be modified with properties such as indent-for-icon, indent-for-depth, and hide-expander to achieve a different appearance. This can even be done to influence individual rows, for example by binding the hide-expander property to the item count of the model of the treelistrow, to hide the expander for rows without children, even if the row is expandable.

CSS nodes

treeexpander
├── [indent]*
├── [expander]
╰── <child>

TreeExpander has zero or one CSS nodes with the name “expander” that should display the expander icon. The node will be :checked when it is expanded. If the node is not expandable, an “indent” node will be displayed instead.

For every level of depth, another “indent” node is prepended.

Accessibility

Until GTK 4.10, TreeExpander used the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP role.

Since GTK 4.12, TreeExpander uses the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_BUTTON role. Toggling it will change the GTK_ACCESSIBLE_STATE_EXPANDED state.

Properties

child

The child widget with the actual contents.

Readable | Writeable

hide-expander

Whether the expander icon should be hidden in a GtkTreeListRow. Note that this property simply hides the icon. The actions and keybinding (i.e. collapse and expand) are not affected by this property.

A common use for this property would be to bind to the number of children in a GtkTreeListRow’s model in order to hide the expander when a row has no children.
