This code shows how I created the column view:
GListStore *store = g_list_store_new (GTK_TYPE_STRING_OBJECT);
GtkSelectionModel *selection = GTK_SELECTION_MODEL(gtk_single_selection_new (G_LIST_MODEL(store)));
GtkWidget *view = gtk_column_view_new (selection);
// begin col1:
GtkListItemFactory *factory = gtk_signal_list_item_factory_new ();
g_signal_connect (factory, "setup", G_CALLBACK (cb_setup_col1), NULL);
g_signal_connect (factory, "bind", G_CALLBACK (cb_bind_col1), NULL);
GtkColumnViewColumn *column1 = gtk_column_view_column_new ("Archivo", factory);
gtk_column_view_append_column (GTK_COLUMN_VIEW (view), column1);
// end col1
// begin col2:
GtkColumnViewColumn *column2 = gtk_column_view_column_new ("Formato", factory);
gtk_column_view_append_column (GTK_COLUMN_VIEW (view), column2);
// end col2
g_autoptr(GtkStringObject) strobj1 = gtk_string_object_new ("str_for_col1");
g_autoptr(GtkStringObject) strobj2 = gtk_string_object_new ("str_for_col2");
g_list_store_append (store, strobj1);
g_list_store_append (store, strobj2);
//...
void cb_setup_col1 (GtkSignalListItemFactory *self, GtkListItem *list_item, gpointer user_data)
{
GtkWidget *label = gtk_label_new ("");
gtk_list_item_set_child (list_item, label);
}
void cb_bind_col1 (GtkSignalListItemFactory *self, GtkListItem *list_item, gpointer user_data)
{
GtkStringObject *strobj = gtk_list_item_get_item (list_item);
GtkWidget *label = gtk_list_item_get_child (list_item);
gtk_label_set_text (GTK_LABEL(label), gtk_string_object_get_string (strobj));
}
The thing is that I realize that I have one model with the type string for both columns, not like gtk_list_store_set which I can tell the position to insert the string. Any ideas about how to insert strobj2 as item for the second column?
In order to create a column view with several columns, this should already be taken into account in the ListStore.
For example like this:
#define CAPITAL_TYPE_ITEM (capital_item_get_type())
G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE (CapitalItem, capital_item, CAPITAL, ITEM, GObject)
struct _CapitalItem
{
GObject parent_instance;
const char *name;
const char *country;
const char *founded;
const char *population;
const char *area;
};
struct _CapitalItemClass
{
GObjectClass parent_class;
};
G_DEFINE_TYPE (CapitalItem, capital_item, G_TYPE_OBJECT)
static void capital_item_init(CapitalItem *item)
{
}
static void capital_item_class_init(CapitalItemClass *class)
{
}
static CapitalItem * capital_item_new(const char *name,
const char *country,
const char *founded,
const char *population,
const char *area )
{
CapitalItem *item = g_object_new(CAPITAL_TYPE_ITEM, NULL);
item->name = g_strdup(name);
item->country = g_strdup(country);
item->founded = g_strdup(founded);
item->population = g_strdup(population);
item->area = g_strdup(area);
return item;
}
// a funktion that creates a GListModel with capital_item objects
GListModel * create_capital_model(void)
{
GListStore *store = g_list_store_new(G_TYPE_OBJECT);
g_list_store_append(store, capital_item_new("Washington,D.C.","USA","1790","712,816","177"));
g_list_store_append(store, capital_item_new("London","Britain","43","8,799,800","1,572.03"));
g_list_store_append(store, capital_item_new("Paris","France","3rd c. BC","2,161,000","105"));
g_list_store_append(store, capital_item_new("Berlin","Germany","13th century","3,850,809","891.3"));
g_list_store_append(store, capital_item_new("Rome","Italy","753 BC","2,860,009","1,285"));
return G_LIST_MODEL(store);
}
Furthermore, a factory is needed for each column.
