There where toplevel is used, I am simply adding an entry to the tree model. The case I had to solve was when the model was completely filled and I had multiple views which could be associated with any one instance contained in the model. The challenge was to take the focus on any of the views and then go figure out which entry in the tree model the focused textview buffer came from. For example, here is the editor interface shown with the treeview and 3 editor windows: http://paste.opensuse.org/25076757 The task was to be able to click to place focus in any one of the edit (textview) windows and have the selection automatically move to the associated file. That's where using the "focus-in-event" signal from the textview allowed getting the associated buffer which I could then iterate through the treemodel and match with the buffer held in the model using the iterator to set the selection. -- David C.

Well,
I'm not sure this was the best way to go about it, but from the callback
from the "focus-in-event" signal from the textview, I call the following which
uses the pointer to the textview buffer to compare for equality against the
pointer held in each treemodel instance pointer. This gives me the GtkTreeIter
that I can then use with gtk_tree_selection_select_iter(), e.g.
/** given inst use tree iter to set focus on current view
* (widget is textview associated with window clicked inside)
*/
void tree_get_inst_iter (GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data)
{
mainwin_t *app = data;
GtkTreeModel *model = NULL;
GtkTreeSelection *selection;
GtkTreeIter iter;
gpointer buf = gtk_text_view_get_buffer (GTK_TEXT_VIEW(widget));
gboolean valid, found = FALSE;
/* initialize selection to current */
selection = gtk_tree_view_get_selection (GTK_TREE_VIEW(app->treeview));
/* get treemodel, validate */
model = gtk_tree_view_get_model(GTK_TREE_VIEW(app->treeview));
if (!model) {
g_print ("error: tree_view_get_model - failed.\n");
return;
}
/* get first iter, return in validate */
valid = gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (model, &iter);
while (valid) { /* loop over each entry in model */
gchar *str = NULL;
kinst_t *inst = NULL;
/* TODO - remove COLNAME & str after debugging done */
gtk_tree_model_get (model, &iter, /* get name & inst */
COLNAME, &str, COLINST, &inst, -1);
/* compare pointer to sourceview with buf from textview (widget) */
if ((gpointer)(inst->buf) == buf) {
gtk_tree_selection_select_iter (selection, &iter);
g_free (str);
found = TRUE;
break;
}
g_free (str);
valid = gtk_tree_model_iter_next (model, &iter);
}
if (!found)
g_warning ("tree_get_inst_iter inst not found.");
if (widget) {}
}

Appending to treestore - how to set selection on new entry?
All, I have been playing with an editor interface that has a treeview in the left of an hpaned widget, and then instances of scrolled windows with textview objects packed into a vbox in the right pane (to provide one or more splits views of files to edit). When I add a new file (entry) to the treestore/treemodel, how do I adjust the selection so that the new entry is selected? (or how do I get a treepath or iter from the new entry to allow me to set the selection?) The treestore holds the name of the entry in the 1st col and then a pointer to a struct containing details for that textbuffer (e.g. line, col, full path, filemode, uid/gid, textview and sourceview lang_id along with comment syntax, etc..) There are two instances when I need to set the treeview selection on a specific entry: (1) when I append the entry to the tree, e.g. GtkTreeStore *treestore; GtkTreeIter toplevel; ... treestore = GTK_TREE_STORE(gtk_tree_view_get_model ( GTK_TREE_VIEW(app->treeview))); /* (validate omitted) */ /* appeand name and pointer to inst as entry in treeview */ gtk_tree_store_append (treestore, &toplevel, NULL); gtk_tree_store_set (treestore, &toplevel, COLNAME, name, -1); gtk_tree_store_set (treestore, &toplevel, COLINST, inst, -1); (here I know the 'inst' which is the pointer stored in column 2) (2) when the user clicks in one of the edit textviews (there can be multiple split views) in right of the hpaned object. Currently I track which textview is focused using the "focus-in-event" signal from the textview object to loop over the array of editor instances to determine which textview widget is focused (which also provides me with the 'inst' which is column 2 in the treestore/model) So in both cases I have the value of the pointer that is stored in column 2 of the tree model. "How do I use the pointer stored in column 2 of the model to set the selection on that treeview entry?" (the full source of the interface is https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkate which is just a concept at the moment, the project will provide the functionality of https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite within a multi-document/multi-view interface when done) I have not worked with tree models/stores a great deal and I am a bit bewildered by how to get an iter or treepath given the value of column 2 to then set the selection on that row/entry in the treeview. I guess I could do a for_each and loop over the pointers, but I'm unsure if that is the correct way or one of my logical hacks that would be better implemented some other way. Any help greatly appreciated. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
