Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Creates a new #GtkTreeView widget.
Creates a new #GtkTreeView widget with the model initialized to @model.
The number of columns of the treeview has changed.
The position of the cursor (focused cell) has changed.
The #GtkTreeView::move-cursor signal is a [keybinding signal]GtkSignalAction which gets emitted when the user presses one of the cursor keys.
The "row-activated" signal is emitted when the method gtk_tree_view_row_activated() is called, when the user double clicks a treeview row with the "activate-on-single-click" property set to %FALSE, or when the user single clicks a row when the "activate-on-single-click" property set to %TRUE. It is also emitted when a non-editable row is selected and one of the keys: Space, Shift+Space, Return or Enter is pressed.
The given row has been collapsed (child nodes are hidden).
The given row has been expanded (child nodes are shown).
The given row is about to be collapsed (hide its children nodes). Use this signal if you need to control the collapsibility of individual rows.
The given row is about to be expanded (show its children nodes). Use this signal if you need to control the expandability of individual rows.
Appends @column to the list of columns. If @tree_view has “fixed_height” mode enabled, then @column must have its “sizing” property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.
Recursively collapses all visible, expanded nodes in @tree_view.
Collapses a row (hides its child rows, if they exist).
Resizes all columns to their optimal width. Only works after the treeview has been realized.
Converts bin_window coordinates to coordinates for the tree (the full scrollable area of the tree).
Converts bin_window coordinates to widget relative coordinates.
Converts tree coordinates (coordinates in full scrollable area of the tree) to bin_window coordinates.
Converts tree coordinates (coordinates in full scrollable area of the tree) to widget coordinates.
Converts widget coordinates to coordinates for the bin_window.
Converts widget coordinates to coordinates for the tree (the full scrollable area of the tree).
Creates a #cairo_surface_t representation of the row at @path. This image is used for a drag icon.
Turns @tree_view into a drop destination for automatic DND. Calling this method sets #GtkTreeView:reorderable to %FALSE.
Turns @tree_view into a drag source for automatic DND. Calling this method sets #GtkTreeView:reorderable to %FALSE.
Recursively expands all nodes in the @tree_view.
Opens the row so its children are visible.
Expands the row at @path. This will also expand all parent rows of @path as necessary.
Gets the setting set by gtk_tree_view_set_activate_on_single_click().
Fills the bounding rectangle in bin_window coordinates for the cell at the row specified by @path and the column specified by @column. If @path is %NULL, or points to a node not found in the tree, the @y and @height fields of the rectangle will be filled with 0. If @column is %NULL, the @x and @width fields will be filled with 0. The returned rectangle is equivalent to the @background_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). These background areas tile to cover the entire bin window. Contrast with the @cell_area, returned by gtk_tree_view_get_cell_area(), which returns only the cell itself, excluding surrounding borders and the tree expander area.
Fills the bounding rectangle in bin_window coordinates for the cell at the row specified by @path and the column specified by @column. If @path is %NULL, or points to a path not currently displayed, the @y and @height fields of the rectangle will be filled with 0. If @column is %NULL, the @x and @width fields will be filled with 0. The sum of all cell rects does not cover the entire tree; there are extra pixels in between rows, for example. The returned rectangle is equivalent to the @cell_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). This function is only valid if @tree_view is realized.
Gets the #GtkTreeViewColumn at the given position in the #tree_view.
Returns a #GList of all the #GtkTreeViewColumn s currently in @tree_view. The returned list must be freed with g_list_free ().
Fills in @path and @focus_column with the current path and focus column. If the cursor isn’t currently set, then *@path will be %NULL. If no column currently has focus, then *@focus_column will be %NULL.
Determines the destination row for a given position. @drag_x and @drag_y are expected to be in widget coordinates. This function is only meaningful if @tree_view is realized. Therefore this function will always return %FALSE if @tree_view is not realized or does not have a model.
Gets information about the row that is highlighted for feedback.
Returns whether or not the tree allows to start interactive searching by typing in text.
Returns whether or not tree lines are drawn in @tree_view.
Returns the column that is the current expander column, or %NULL if none has been set. This column has the expander arrow drawn next to it.
Returns whether fixed height mode is turned on for @tree_view.
Returns which grid lines are enabled in @tree_view.
Returns whether all header columns are clickable.
Returns %TRUE if the headers on the @tree_view are visible.
Returns whether hover expansion mode is turned on for @tree_view.
Returns whether hover selection mode is turned on for @tree_view.
Returns the amount, in pixels, of extra indentation for child levels in @tree_view.
Returns the model the #GtkTreeView is based on. Returns %NULL if the model is unset.
Queries the number of columns in the given @tree_view.
Finds the path at the point (@x, @y), relative to bin_window coordinates. That is, @x and @y are relative to an events coordinates. Widget-relative coordinates must be converted using gtk_tree_view_convert_widget_to_bin_window_coords(). It is primarily for things like popup menus. If @path is non-%NULL, then it will be filled with the #GtkTreePath at that point. This path should be freed with gtk_tree_path_free(). If @column is non-%NULL, then it will be filled with the column at that point. @cell_x and @cell_y return the coordinates relative to the cell background (i.e. the @background_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render()). This function is only meaningful if @tree_view is realized. Therefore this function will always return %FALSE if @tree_view is not realized or does not have a model.
Retrieves whether the user can reorder the tree via drag-and-drop. See gtk_tree_view_set_reorderable().
Returns the current row separator function.
Returns whether rubber banding is turned on for @tree_view. If the selection mode is #GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, rubber banding will allow the user to select multiple rows by dragging the mouse.
Gets the column searched on by the interactive search code.
Returns the #GtkEntry which is currently in use as interactive search entry for @tree_view. In case the built-in entry is being used, %NULL will be returned.
Returns the compare function currently in use.
Gets the #GtkTreeSelection associated with @tree_view.
Returns whether or not expanders are drawn in @tree_view.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Returns the column of @tree_view’s model which is being used for displaying tooltips on @tree_view’s rows.
This function is supposed to be used in a #GtkWidget::query-tooltip signal handler for #GtkTreeView. The @x, @y and @keyboard_tip values which are received in the signal handler, should be passed to this function without modification.
Get the main Gtk struct
Sets @start_path and @end_path to be the first and last visible path. Note that there may be invisible paths in between.
Fills @visible_rect with the currently-visible region of the buffer, in tree coordinates. Convert to bin_window coordinates with gtk_tree_view_convert_tree_to_bin_window_coords(). Tree coordinates start at 0,0 for row 0 of the tree, and cover the entire scrollable area of the tree.
This inserts the @column into the @tree_view at @position. If @position is -1, then the column is inserted at the end. If @tree_view has “fixed_height” mode enabled, then @column must have its “sizing” property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.
Convenience function that inserts a new column into the #GtkTreeView with the given cell renderer and a #GtkTreeCellDataFunc to set cell renderer attributes (normally using data from the model). See also gtk_tree_view_column_set_cell_data_func(), gtk_tree_view_column_pack_start(). If @tree_view has “fixed_height” mode enabled, then the new column will have its “sizing” property set to be GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.
Determine whether the point (@x, @y) in @tree_view is blank, that is no cell content nor an expander arrow is drawn at the location. If so, the location can be considered as the background. You might wish to take special action on clicks on the background, such as clearing a current selection, having a custom context menu or starting rubber banding.
Returns whether a rubber banding operation is currently being done in @tree_view.
Calls @func on all expanded rows.
Moves @column to be after to @base_column. If @base_column is %NULL, then @column is placed in the first position.
Removes @column from @tree_view.
Activates the cell determined by @path and @column.
Returns %TRUE if the node pointed to by @path is expanded in @tree_view.
Moves the alignments of @tree_view to the position specified by @column and @path. If @column is %NULL, then no horizontal scrolling occurs. Likewise, if @path is %NULL no vertical scrolling occurs. At a minimum, one of @column or @path need to be non-%NULL. @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.
Scrolls the tree view such that the top-left corner of the visible area is @tree_x, @tree_y, where @tree_x and @tree_y are specified in tree coordinates. The @tree_view must be realized before this function is called. If it isn't, you probably want to be using gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell().
Cause the #GtkTreeView::row-activated signal to be emitted on a single click instead of a double click.
Sets a user function for determining where a column may be dropped when dragged. This function is called on every column pair in turn at the beginning of a column drag to determine where a drop can take place. The arguments passed to @func are: the @tree_view, the #GtkTreeViewColumn being dragged, the two #GtkTreeViewColumn s determining the drop spot, and @user_data. If either of the #GtkTreeViewColumn arguments for the drop spot are %NULL, then they indicate an edge. If @func is set to be %NULL, then @tree_view reverts to the default behavior of allowing all columns to be dropped everywhere.
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 row. If @focus_column is not %NULL, then focus is given to the column specified by it. Additionally, if @focus_column is specified, and @start_editing is %TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell. This function is often followed by @gtk_widget_grab_focus (@tree_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.
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 row. If @focus_column is not %NULL, then focus is given to the column specified by it. If @focus_column and @focus_cell are not %NULL, and @focus_column contains 2 or more editable or activatable cells, then focus is given to the cell specified by @focus_cell. Additionally, if @focus_column is specified, and @start_editing is %TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell. This function is often followed by @gtk_widget_grab_focus (@tree_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.
Sets the row that is highlighted for feedback. If @path is %NULL, an existing highlight is removed.
If @enable_search is set, then the user can type in text to search through the tree interactively (this is sometimes called "typeahead find").
Sets whether to draw lines interconnecting the expanders in @tree_view. This does not have any visible effects for lists.
Sets the column to draw the expander arrow at. It must be in @tree_view. If @column is %NULL, then the expander arrow is always at the first visible column.
Enables or disables the fixed height mode of @tree_view. Fixed height mode speeds up #GtkTreeView by assuming that all rows have the same height. Only enable this option if all rows are the same height and all columns are of type %GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_FIXED.
Sets which grid lines to draw in @tree_view.
Allow the column title buttons to be clicked.
Sets the visibility state of the headers.
Enables or disables the hover expansion mode of @tree_view. Hover expansion makes rows expand or collapse if the pointer moves over them.
Enables or disables the hover selection mode of @tree_view. Hover selection makes the selected row follow the pointer. Currently, this works only for the selection modes %GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE and %GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE.
Sets the amount of extra indentation for child levels to use in @tree_view in addition to the default indentation. The value should be specified in pixels, a value of 0 disables this feature and in this case only the default indentation will be used. This does not have any visible effects for lists.
Sets the model for a #GtkTreeView. If the @tree_view already has a model set, it will remove it before setting the new model. If @model is %NULL, then it will unset the old model.
This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the #GtkTreeDragSourceIface and the #GtkTreeDragDestIface. Both #GtkTreeStore and #GtkListStore 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 #GtkTreeModel::row-inserted and #GtkTreeModel::row-deleted signals. The reordering is implemented by setting up the tree view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.
Sets the row separator function, which is used to determine whether a row should be drawn as a separator. If the row separator function is %NULL, no separators are drawn. This is the default value.
Enables or disables rubber banding in @tree_view. If the selection mode is #GTK_SELECTION_MULTIPLE, rubber banding will allow the user to select multiple rows by dragging the mouse.
Sets @column as the column where the interactive search code should search in for the current model.
Sets the entry which the interactive search code will use for this @tree_view. This is useful when you want to provide a search entry in our interface at all time at a fixed position. Passing %NULL for @entry will make the interactive search code use the built-in popup entry again.
Sets the compare function for the interactive search capabilities; note that somewhat like strcmp() returning 0 for equality #GtkTreeViewSearchEqualFunc returns %FALSE on matches.
Sets whether to draw and enable expanders and indent child rows in @tree_view. When disabled there will be no expanders visible in trees and there will be no way to expand and collapse rows by default. Also note that hiding the expanders will disable the default indentation. You can set a custom indentation in this case using gtk_tree_view_set_level_indentation(). This does not have any visible effects for lists.
Sets the tip area of @tooltip to the area @path, @column and @cell have in common. For example if @path is %NULL and @column is set, the tip area will be set to the full area covered by @column. See also gtk_tooltip_set_tip_area().
If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full rows, you can use this function to have #GtkTreeView handle these automatically for you. @column should be set to the column in @tree_view’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.
Sets the tip area of @tooltip to be the area covered by the row at @path. See also gtk_tree_view_set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative. See also gtk_tooltip_set_tip_area().
Undoes the effect of gtk_tree_view_enable_model_drag_dest(). Calling this method sets #GtkTreeView:reorderable to %FALSE.
Undoes the effect of gtk_tree_view_enable_model_drag_source(). Calling this method sets #GtkTreeView:reorderable to %FALSE.

A widget for displaying both trees and lists
Widget that displays any object that implements the [iface@Gtk.TreeModel] interface.
Please refer to the tree widget conceptual overview for an overview of all the objects and data types related to the tree widget and how they work together.
Coordinate systems in GtkTreeView API
Several different coordinate systems are exposed in the GtkTreeView API. These are:
- Widget coordinates: Coordinates relative to the widget (usually widget->window).
- Bin window coordinates: Coordinates relative to the window that GtkTreeView renders to.
- Tree coordinates: Coordinates relative to the entire scrollable area of GtkTreeView. These coordinates start at (0, 0) for row 0 of the tree.
Several functions are available for converting between the different coordinate systems. The most common translations are between widget and bin window coordinates and between bin window and tree coordinates. For the former you can use [method@Gtk.TreeView.convert_widget_to_bin_window_coords] (and vice versa), for the latter [method@Gtk.TreeView.convert_bin_window_to_tree_coords] (and vice versa).
GtkTreeView as GtkBuildable
The GtkTreeView implementation of the GtkBuildable interface accepts [class@Gtk.TreeViewColumn] objects as <child> elements and exposes the internal [class@Gtk.TreeSelection] in UI definitions.
An example of a UI definition fragment with GtkTreeView:
CSS nodes
GtkTreeView has a main CSS node with name treeview and style class .view. It has a subnode with name header, which is the parent for all the column header widgets' CSS nodes.
Each column header consists of a button, which among other content, has a child with name sort-indicator, which carries the .ascending or .descending style classes when the column header should show a sort indicator. The CSS is expected to provide a suitable image using the -gtk-icon-source property.
For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.
For the drop target location during DND, a subnode with name dndtarget is used.
