Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class
Non vararg creation function. Used primarily by language bindings.
Creates and appends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-NULL, then it will append the new row after the last child of parent, otherwise it will append a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().

The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
Removes all rows from tree_store
Creates a top level iteractor. I don't think lists have but the top level iteractor
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Creates a new row at position. If parent is non-NULL, then the row will be made a child of parent. Otherwise, the row will be created at the toplevel. If position is -1 or is larger than the number of rows at that level, then the new row will be inserted to the end of the list. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
Inserts a new row after sibling. If sibling is NULL, then the row will be prepended to parent 's children. If parent and sibling are NULL, then the row will be prepended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
Inserts a new row before sibling. If sibling is NULL, then the row will be appended to parent 's children. If parent and sibling are NULL, then the row will be appended to the toplevel. If both sibling and parent are set, then parent must be the parent of sibling. When sibling is set, parent is optional. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
A variant of gtk_tree_store_insert_with_values() which takes the columns and values as two arrays, instead of varargs. This function is mainly intended for language bindings. Since 2.10
Returns TRUE if iter is an ancestor of descendant. That is, iter is the parent (or grandparent or great-grandparent) of descendant.
Returns the depth of iter. This will be 0 for anything on the root level, 1 for anything down a level, etc.
WARNING: This function is slow. Only use it for debugging and/or testing purposes. Checks if the given iter is a valid iter for this GtkTreeStore. Since 2.2
Moves iter in tree_store to the position after position. iter and position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If position is NULL, iter will be moved to the start of the level. Since 2.2
Moves iter in tree_store to the position before position. iter and position should be in the same level. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. If position is NULL, iter will be moved to the end of the level. Since 2.2
Creates and prepends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-NULL, then it will prepend the new row before the first child of parent, otherwise it will prepend a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
Prepends a new row to tree_store. If parent is non-NULL, then it will prepend the new row before the first child of parent, otherwise it will prepend a row to the top level. iter will be changed to point to this new row. The row will be empty after this function is called. To fill in values, you need to call gtk_tree_store_set() or gtk_tree_store_set_value().
Removes iter from tree_store. After being removed, iter is set to the next valid row at that level, or invalidated if it previously pointed to the last one.
Reorders the children of parent in tree_store to follow the order indicated by new_order. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. Since 2.2
sets the values for one row
Sets an iteractor values from a tree node. This is the way to add a new row to the tree, the iteractor is either a top level iteractor created from createIter() or a nested iteractor created from append()
This function is meant primarily for GObjects that inherit from GtkTreeStore, and should only be used when constructing a new GtkTreeStore. It will not function after a row has been added, or a method on the GtkTreeModel interface is called.
See gtk_tree_store_set(); this version takes a va_list for use by language bindings.
Sets one value into one cells. \todo confirm we need to destroy the Value instance
Sets the data in the cell specified by iter and column. The type of value must be convertible to the type of the column.
A variant of gtk_tree_store_set_valist() which takes the columns and values as two arrays, instead of varargs. This function is mainly intended for language bindings or in case the number of columns to change is not known until run-time. Since 2.12
Swaps a and b in the same level of tree_store. Note that this function only works with unsorted stores. Since 2.2

the main Gtk struct as a void*
Gets a D Object from the objects table of associations.
The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value.
Installs a new property. This is usually done in the class initializer. Note that it is possible to redefine a property in a derived class, by installing a property with the same name. This can be useful at times, e.g. to change the range of allowed values or the default value.
Installs new properties from an array of GParamSpecs. This is usually done in the class initializer. The property id of each property is the index of each GParamSpec in the pspecs array. The property id of 0 is treated specially by GObject and it should not be used to store a GParamSpec. This function should be used if you plan to use a static array of GParamSpecs and g_object_notify_by_pspec(). For instance, this Since 2.26
Looks up the GParamSpec for a property of a class.
Get an array of GParamSpec* for all properties of a class.
Registers property_id as referring to a property with the name name in a parent class or in an interface implemented by oclass. This allows this class to override a property implementation in a parent class or to provide the implementation of a property from an interface. Note Internally, overriding is implemented by creating a property of type GParamSpecOverride; generally operations that query the properties of the object class, such as g_object_class_find_property() or g_object_class_list_properties() will return the overridden property. However, in one case, the construct_properties argument of the constructor virtual function, the GParamSpecOverride is passed instead, so that the param_id field of the GParamSpec will be correct. For virtually all uses, this makes no difference. If you need to get the overridden property, you can call g_param_spec_get_redirect_target(). Since 2.4
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property. This function is meant to be called from the interface's default vtable initialization function (the class_init member of GTypeInfo.) It must not be called after after class_init has been called for any object types implementing this interface. Since 2.4
Find the GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek(). Since 2.4
Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek(). Since 2.4
Increases the reference count of object.
Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the floating reference, if object has a floating reference. In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one. Since 2.10
Clears a reference to a GObject. object_ptr must not be NULL. If the reference is NULL then this function does nothing. Otherwise, the reference count of the object is decreased and the pointer is set to NULL. This function is threadsafe and modifies the pointer atomically, using memory barriers where needed. A macro is also included that allows this function to be used without pointer casts. Since 2.28
Checks whether object has a floating reference. Since 2.10
This function is intended for GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink(). Since 2.10
Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive). Note that the weak references created by this method are not thread-safe: they cannot safely be used in one thread if the object's last g_object_unref() might happen in another thread. Use GWeakRef if thread-safety is required.
Removes a weak reference callback to an object.
Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to object to indicate that the pointer located at weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of object. When the object is finalized, weak_pointer will be set to NULL. Note that as with g_object_weak_ref(), the weak references created by this method are not thread-safe: they cannot safely be used in one thread if the object's last g_object_unref() might happen in another thread. Use GWeakRef if thread-safety is required.
Removes a weak reference from object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().
Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established. This functionality is intended for binding object to a proxy object managed by another memory manager. This is done with two paired references: the strong reference added by g_object_add_toggle_ref() and a reverse reference to the proxy object which is either a strong reference or weak reference. The setup is that when there are no other references to object, only a weak reference is held in the reverse direction from object to the proxy object, but when there are other references held to object, a strong reference is held. The notify callback is called when the reference from object to the proxy object should be toggled from strong to weak (is_last_ref true) or weak to strong (is_last_ref false). Since a (normal) reference must be held to the object before calling g_object_add_toggle_ref(), the initial state of the reverse link is always strong. Multiple toggle references may be added to the same gobject, however if there are multiple toggle references to an object, none of them will ever be notified until all but one are removed. For this reason, you should only ever use a toggle reference if there is important state in the proxy object. Since 2.8
Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one. Since 2.8
Emits a "notify" signal for the property property_name on object. When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by pspec on object. This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify(). One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with Since 2.26
Increases the freeze count on object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one "notify" signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen. This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.
Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted. Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one "notify" signal is emitted for each property. It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association. If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.
Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed. Note that the destroy callback is not called if data is NULL.
Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
This is a variant of g_object_get_data() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object. If the key is not set on the object then dup_func will be called with a NULL argument. Note that dup_func is called while user data of object is locked. This function can be useful to avoid races when multiple threads are using object data on the same key on the same object. Since 2.34
Compares the user data for the key key on object with oldval, and if they are the same, replaces oldval with newval. This is like a typical atomic compare-and-exchange operation, for user data on an object. If the previous value was replaced then ownership of the old value (oldval) is passed to the caller, including the registered destroy notify for it (passed out in old_destroy). Its up to the caller to free this as he wishes, which may or may not include using old_destroy as sometimes replacement should not destroy the object in the normal way. Return: TRUE if the existing value for key was replaced by newval, FALSE otherwise. Since 2.34
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().
This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the object with g_object_get_qdata() until the object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.
This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with data as argument when the object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same quark.
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update
This is a variant of g_object_get_qdata() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object. If the quark is not set on the object then dup_func will be called with a NULL argument. Note that dup_func is called while user data of object is locked. This function can be useful to avoid races when multiple threads are using object data on the same key on the same object. Since 2.34
Compares the user data for the key quark on object with oldval, and if they are the same, replaces oldval with newval. This is like a typical atomic compare-and-exchange operation, for user data on an object. If the previous value was replaced then ownership of the old value (oldval) is passed to the caller, including the registered destroy notify for it (passed out in old_destroy). Its up to the caller to free this as he wishes, which may or may not include using old_destroy as sometimes replacement should not destroy the object in the normal way. Return: TRUE if the existing value for quark was replaced by newval, FALSE otherwise. Since 2.34
Sets a property on an object.
Gets a property of an object. value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init(). In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset(). Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.
Sets properties on an object.
Gets properties of an object. In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory in the appropriate manner for the type, for instance by calling g_free() or g_object_unref(). See g_object_get().
This function essentially limits the life time of the closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on object during invocation of the closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this object as closure data.
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles. This functions should only be called from object system implementations.

Sets the name of the buildable object. Since 2.12
Gets the name of the buildable object. GtkBuilder sets the name based on the GtkBuilder UI definition used to construct the buildable. Since 2.12
Adds a child to buildable. type is an optional string describing how the child should be added. Since 2.12
Sets the property name name to value on the buildable object. Since 2.12
Constructs a child of buildable with the name name. GtkBuilder calls this function if a "constructor" has been specified in the UI definition. Since 2.12
This is called for each unknown element under <child>. Since 2.12
This is called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable. Since 2.12
This is similar to gtk_buildable_parser_finished() but is called once for each custom tag handled by the buildable. Since 2.12
Called when the builder finishes the parsing of a GtkBuilder UI definition. Note that this will be called once for each time gtk_builder_add_from_file() or gtk_builder_add_from_string() is called on a builder. Since 2.12
Get the internal child called childname of the buildable object. Since 2.12

Get the value of a column as a char array. this is the same calling getValue and get the string from the value object
Get the value of a column as a char array. this is the same calling getValue and get the int from the value object
Sets iter to a valid iterator pointing to path.
Initializes and sets value to that at column. When done with value, g_value_unset() needs to be called to free any allocated memory.
This signal is emitted when a row in the model has changed.
This signal is emitted when a row has been deleted. Note that no iterator is passed to the signal handler, since the row is already deleted. This should be called by models after a row has been removed. The location pointed to by path should be the location that the row previously was at. It may not be a valid location anymore.
This signal is emitted when a row has gotten the first child row or lost its last child row.
This signal is emitted when a new row has been inserted in the model. Note that the row may still be empty at this point, since it is a common pattern to first insert an empty row, and then fill it with the desired values.
This signal is emitted when the children of a node in the GtkTreeModel have been reordered. Note that this signal is not emitted when rows are reordered by DND, since this is implemented by removing and then reinserting the row. See Also GtkTreeView, GtkTreeStore, GtkListStore, GtkTreeDnd, GtkTreeSortable [4] Here, iter is short for “iterator”
Returns a set of flags supported by this interface. The flags are a bitwise combination of GtkTreeModelFlags. The flags supported should not change during the lifetime of the tree_model.
Returns the number of columns supported by tree_model.
Returns the type of the column.
Sets iter to a valid iterator pointing to path_string, if it exists. Otherwise, iter is left invalid and FALSE is returned.
Initializes iter with the first iterator in the tree (the one at the path "0") and returns TRUE. Returns FALSE if the tree is empty.
Returns a newly-created GtkTreePath referenced by iter. This path should be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().
Sets iter to point to the node following it at the current level. If there is no next iter, FALSE is returned and iter is set to be invalid.
Sets iter to point to the previous node at the current level. If there is no previous iter, FALSE is returned and iter is set to be invalid.
Sets iter to point to the first child of parent. If parent has no children, FALSE is returned and iter is set to be invalid. parent will remain a valid node after this function has been called. If parent is NULL returns the first node, equivalent to gtk_tree_model_get_iter_first (tree_model, iter);
Returns TRUE if iter has children, FALSE otherwise.
Returns the number of children that iter has. As a special case, if iter is NULL, then the number of toplevel nodes is returned.
Sets iter to be the child of parent, using the given index. The first index is 0. If n is too big, or parent has no children, iter is set to an invalid iterator and FALSE is returned. parent will remain a valid node after this function has been called. As a special case, if parent is NULL, then the nth root node is set.
Sets iter to be the parent of child. If child is at the toplevel, and doesn't have a parent, then iter is set to an invalid iterator and FALSE is returned. child will remain a valid node after this function has been called.
Generates a string representation of the iter. This string is a ':' separated list of numbers. For example, "4:10:0:3" would be an acceptable return value for this string. Since 2.2
Lets the tree ref the node. This is an optional method for models to implement. To be more specific, models may ignore this call as it exists primarily for performance reasons. This function is primarily meant as a way for views to let caching models know when nodes are being displayed (and hence, whether or not to cache that node). Being displayed means a node is in an expanded branch, regardless of whether the node is currently visible in the viewport. For example, a file-system based model would not want to keep the entire file-hierarchy in memory, just the sections that are currently being displayed by every current view. A model should be expected to be able to get an iter independent of its reffed state.
Lets the tree unref the node. This is an optional method for models to implement. To be more specific, models may ignore this call as it exists primarily for performance reasons. For more information on what this means, see gtk_tree_model_ref_node(). Please note that nodes that are deleted are not unreffed.
See gtk_tree_model_get(), this version takes a va_list for language bindings to use.
Calls func on each node in model in a depth-first fashion. If func returns TRUE, then the tree ceases to be walked, and gtk_tree_model_foreach() returns.
Emits the "row-changed" signal on tree_model.
Emits the "row-inserted" signal on tree_model.
Emits the "row-has-child-toggled" signal on tree_model. This should be called by models after the child state of a node changes.
Emits the "row-deleted" signal on tree_model. This should be called by models after a row has been removed. The location pointed to by path should be the location that the row previously was at. It may not be a valid location anymore. Nodes that are deleted are not unreffed, this means that any outstanding references on the deleted node should not be released.
Emits the "rows-reordered" signal on tree_model. This should be called by models when their rows have been reordered.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to delete the row at path, because it was moved somewhere else via drag-and-drop. Returns FALSE if the deletion fails because path no longer exists, or for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to fill in selection_data with a representation of the row at path. selection_data->target gives the required type of the data. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource whether a particular row can be used as the source of a DND operation. If the source doesn't implement this interface, the row is assumed draggable.
Sets selection data of target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW. Normally used in a drag_data_get handler.
Obtains a tree_model and path from selection data of target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW. Normally called from a drag_data_received handler. This function can only be used if selection_data originates from the same process that's calling this function, because a pointer to the tree model is being passed around. If you aren't in the same process, then you'll get memory corruption. In the GtkTreeDragDest drag_data_received handler, you can assume that selection data of type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW is in from the current process. The returned path must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().

The returned path must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().
Asks the GtkTreeDragDest to insert a row before the path dest, deriving the contents of the row from selection_data. If dest is outside the tree so that inserting before it is impossible, FALSE will be returned. Also, FALSE may be returned if the new row is not created for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a dest no longer found in the model!
Determines whether a drop is possible before the given dest_path, at the same depth as dest_path. i.e., can we drop the data in selection_data at that location. dest_path does not have to exist; the return value will almost certainly be FALSE if the parent of dest_path doesn't exist, though.

The ::sort-column-changed signal is emitted when the sort column or sort order of sortable is changed. The signal is emitted before the contents of sortable are resorted. See Also GtkTreeModel, GtkTreeView
Emits a "sort-column-changed" signal on sortable.
Fills in sort_column_id and order with the current sort column and the order. It returns TRUE unless the sort_column_id is GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_DEFAULT_SORT_COLUMN_ID or GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_UNSORTED_SORT_COLUMN_ID.
Sets the current sort column to be sort_column_id. The sortable will resort itself to reflect this change, after emitting a "sort-column-changed" signal. sort_column_id may either be
Sets the comparison function used when sorting to be sort_func. If the current sort column id of sortable is the same as sort_column_id, then the model will sort using this function.
Sets the default comparison function used when sorting to be sort_func. If the current sort column id of sortable is GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_DEFAULT_SORT_COLUMN_ID, then the model will sort using this function. If sort_func is NULL, then there will be no default comparison function. This means that once the model has been sorted, it can't go back to the default state. In this case, when the current sort column id of sortable is GTK_TREE_SORTABLE_DEFAULT_SORT_COLUMN_ID, the model will be unsorted.
Returns TRUE if the model has a default sort function. This is used primarily by GtkTreeViewColumns in order to determine if a model can go back to the default state, or not.
The GtkTreeStore object is a list model for use with a GtkTreeView widget. It implements the GtkTreeModel interface, and consequentialy, can use all of the methods available there. It also implements the GtkTreeSortable interface so it can be sorted by the view. Finally, it also implements the tree drag and drop interfaces.
GtkTreeStore as GtkBuildable
The GtkTreeStore implementation of the GtkBuildable interface allows to specify the model columns with a <columns> element that may contain multiple <column> elements, each specifying one model column. The "type" attribute specifies the data type for the column.
