The GtkTreeViewColumn object represents a visible column in a #GtkTreeView widget. It allows to set properties of the column header, and functions as a holding pen for the cell renderers which determine how the data in the column is displayed.

Please refer to the [tree widget conceptual overview][TreeWidget] for an overview of all the objects and data types related to the tree widget and how they work together.

Properties

alignment: number
cell_area: Gtk.CellArea

The #GtkCellArea used to layout cell renderers for this column.

If no area is specified when creating the tree view column with gtk_tree_view_column_new_with_area() a horizontally oriented #GtkCellAreaBox will be used.

clickable: boolean
expand: boolean
fixed_width: number
g_type_instance: TypeInstance
max_width: number
min_width: number
parent_instance: InitiallyUnowned
reorderable: boolean
resizable: boolean
sort_column_id: number

Logical sort column ID this column sorts on when selected for sorting. Setting the sort column ID makes the column header clickable. Set to -1 to make the column unsortable.

sort_indicator: boolean
sort_order: Gtk.SortType
spacing: number
title: string
visible: boolean
widget: Gtk.Widget
width: number
x_offset: number
name: string

Methods

  • add_attribute(cell_renderer: Gtk.CellRenderer, attribute: string, column: number): void
  • Adds an attribute mapping to the list in tree_column. The column is the column of the model to get a value from, and the attribute is the parameter on cell_renderer to be set from the value. So for example if column 2 of the model contains strings, you could have the “text” attribute of a #GtkCellRendererText get its values from column 2.

    Parameters

    • cell_renderer: Gtk.CellRenderer

      the #GtkCellRenderer to set attributes on

    • attribute: string

      An attribute on the renderer

    • column: number

      The column position on the model to get the attribute from.

    Returns void

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target.

    Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

      g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);
    

    Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.

    If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

    The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned #GBinding instance.

    Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

    A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target #GObject

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: BindingFlags

      flags to pass to #GBinding

    Returns Binding

  • Creates a binding between source_property on source and target_property on target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.

    This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of function pointers.

    Parameters

    • source_property: string

      the property on source to bind

    • target: GObject.Object

      the target #GObject

    • target_property: string

      the property on target to bind

    • flags: BindingFlags

      flags to pass to #GBinding

    • transform_to: TClosure<any, any>

      a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function from the source to the target, or %NULL to use the default

    • transform_from: TClosure<any, any>

      a #GClosure wrapping the transformation function from the target to the source, or %NULL to use the default

    Returns Binding

  • cell_get_position(cell_renderer: Gtk.CellRenderer): [boolean, number, number]
  • Obtains the horizontal position and size of a cell in a column. If the cell is not found in the column, start_pos and width are not changed and %FALSE is returned.

    Parameters

    Returns [boolean, number, number]

  • cell_get_size(cell_area: Gdk.Rectangle): [number, number, number, number]
  • Obtains the width and height needed to render the column. This is used primarily by the #GtkTreeView.

    Parameters

    • cell_area: Gdk.Rectangle

      The area a cell in the column will be allocated, or %NULL

    Returns [number, number, number, number]

  • cell_is_visible(): boolean
  • Returns %TRUE if any of the cells packed into the tree_column are visible. For this to be meaningful, you must first initialize the cells with gtk_tree_view_column_cell_set_cell_data()

    Returns boolean

  • cell_set_cell_data(tree_model: Gtk.TreeModel, iter: Gtk.TreeIter, is_expander: boolean, is_expanded: boolean): void
  • Sets the cell renderer based on the tree_model and iter. That is, for every attribute mapping in tree_column, it will get a value from the set column on the iter, and use that value to set the attribute on the cell renderer. This is used primarily by the #GtkTreeView.

    Parameters

    • tree_model: Gtk.TreeModel

      The #GtkTreeModel to to get the cell renderers attributes from.

    • iter: Gtk.TreeIter

      The #GtkTreeIter to to get the cell renderer’s attributes from.

    • is_expander: boolean

      %TRUE, if the row has children

    • is_expanded: boolean

      %TRUE, if the row has visible children

    Returns void

  • clear(): void
  • clicked(): void
  • Emits the “clicked” signal on the column. This function will only work if tree_column is clickable.

    Returns void

  • This is similar to gtk_buildable_parser_finished() but is called once for each custom tag handled by the buildable.

    Parameters

    • builder: Gtk.Builder

      a #GtkBuilder

    • child: GObject.Object

      child object or %NULL for non-child tags

    • tagname: string

      the name of the tag

    • data: object

      user data created in custom_tag_start

    Returns void

  • This is called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable.

    Parameters

    • builder: Gtk.Builder

      #GtkBuilder used to construct this object

    • child: GObject.Object

      child object or %NULL for non-child tags

    • tagname: string

      name of tag

    • data: object

      user data that will be passed in to parser functions

    Returns void

  • disconnect(id: number): void
  • emit(sigName: "clicked", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::alignment", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::cell-area", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::clickable", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::expand", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::fixed-width", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::max-width", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::min-width", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::reorderable", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::resizable", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::sizing", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::sort-column-id", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::sort-indicator", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::sort-order", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::spacing", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::title", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::visible", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::widget", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::width", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: "notify::x-offset", ...args: any[]): void
  • emit(sigName: string, ...args: any[]): void
  • force_floating(): void
  • This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a [floating][floating-ref] 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().

    Returns void

  • freeze_notify(): void
  • 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 #GObject::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.

    Returns void

  • get_alignment(): number
  • Returns the current x alignment of tree_column. This value can range between 0.0 and 1.0.

    Returns number

  • get_clickable(): boolean
  • get_data(key?: string): object
  • get_expand(): boolean
  • get_fixed_width(): number
  • Gets the fixed width of the column. This may not be the actual displayed width of the column; for that, use gtk_tree_view_column_get_width().

    Returns number

  • get_max_width(): number
  • Returns the maximum width in pixels of the tree_column, or -1 if no maximum width is set.

    Returns number

  • get_min_width(): number
  • Returns the minimum width in pixels of the tree_column, or -1 if no minimum width is set.

    Returns number

  • get_name(): string
  • Gets the name of the buildable object.

    #GtkBuilder sets the name based on the [GtkBuilder UI definition][BUILDER-UI] used to construct the buildable.

    Returns string

  • get_property(property_name?: string, value?: any): void
  • Gets a property of an object.

    The value can be:

    • an empty #GValue initialized by %G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
    • a #GValue initialized with the expected type of the property
    • a #GValue initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

    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.

    Parameters

    • Optional property_name: string

      the name of the property to get

    • Optional value: any

      return location for the property value

    Returns void

  • get_qdata(quark: number): object
  • get_reorderable(): boolean
  • get_resizable(): boolean
  • get_sort_column_id(): number
  • Gets the logical sort_column_id that the model sorts on when this column is selected for sorting. See gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_column_id().

    Returns number

  • get_sort_indicator(): boolean
  • get_spacing(): number
  • get_title(): string
  • Returns the #GtkTreeView wherein tree_column has been inserted. If column is currently not inserted in any tree view, %NULL is returned.

    Returns Gtk.Widget

  • get_visible(): boolean
  • get_width(): number
  • get_x_offset(): number
  • getv(names: string[], values: any[]): void
  • Gets n_properties properties for an object. Obtained properties will be set to values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.

    Parameters

    • names: string[]

      the names of each property to get

    • values: any[]

      the values of each property to get

    Returns void

  • is_floating(): boolean
  • notify(property_name: string): void
  • 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.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    Parameters

    • property_name: string

      the name of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

  • 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 g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

      enum
    {
    PROP_0,
    PROP_FOO,
    PROP_LAST
    };

    static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

    static void
    my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
    {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
    0, 100,
    50,
    G_PARAM_READWRITE);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
    PROP_FOO,
    properties[PROP_FOO]);
    }

    and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

      g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);
    

    Parameters

    • pspec: ParamSpec

      the #GParamSpec of a property installed on the class of object.

    Returns void

  • Adds the cell to end of the column. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      The #GtkCellRenderer.

    • Optional expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to tree_column.

    Returns void

  • Adds the cell to the end of cell_layout. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Note that reusing the same cell renderer is not supported.

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer

    • Optional expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to cell_layout

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • Rest ...args: any[]

    Returns any

  • Parameters

    Returns any

  • Packs the cell into the beginning of the column. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      The #GtkCellRenderer.

    • Optional expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to tree_column.

    Returns void

  • Packs the cell into the beginning of cell_layout. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Note that reusing the same cell renderer is not supported.

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer

    • Optional expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to cell_layout

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • Rest ...args: any[]

    Returns any

  • Parameters

    Returns any

  • Called when the builder finishes the parsing of a [GtkBuilder UI definition][BUILDER-UI]. 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.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • queue_resize(): void
  • Flags the column, and the cell renderers added to this column, to have their sizes renegotiated.

    Returns void

  • Increases the reference count of object.

    Since GLib 2.56, if GLIB_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED is 2.56 or greater, the type of object will be propagated to the return type (using the GCC typeof() extension), so any casting the caller needs to do on the return type must be explicit.

    Returns GObject.Object

  • Increase the reference count of object, and possibly remove the [floating][floating-ref] 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 GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

    Returns GObject.Object

  • Re-inserts cell at position.

    Note that cell has already to be packed into cell_layout for this to function properly.

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer to reorder

    • position: number

      new position to insert cell at

    Returns void

  • run_dispose(): void
  • set_alignment(xalign: number): void
  • Sets the alignment of the title or custom widget inside the column header. The alignment determines its location inside the button -- 0.0 for left, 0.5 for center, 1.0 for right.

    Parameters

    • xalign: number

      The alignment, which is between [0.0 and 1.0] inclusive.

    Returns void

  • set_buildable_property(builder: Gtk.Builder, name: string, value: any): void
  • Sets the #GtkTreeCellDataFunc to use for the column. This function is used instead of the standard attributes mapping for setting the column value, and should set the value of tree_column's cell renderer as appropriate. func may be %NULL to remove an older one.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Sets the #GtkCellLayoutDataFunc to use for cell_layout.

    This function is used instead of the standard attributes mapping for setting the column value, and should set the value of cell_layout’s cell renderer(s) as appropriate.

    func may be %NULL to remove a previously set function.

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Parameters

    • Rest ...args: any[]

    Returns any

  • Parameters

    Returns any

  • set_clickable(clickable: boolean): void
  • Sets the header to be active if clickable is %TRUE. When the header is active, then it can take keyboard focus, and can be clicked.

    Parameters

    • clickable: boolean

      %TRUE if the header is active.

    Returns void

  • set_data(key: string, data?: object): void
  • 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.

    Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

    Parameters

    • key: string

      name of the key

    • Optional data: object

      data to associate with that key

    Returns void

  • set_expand(expand: boolean): void
  • Sets the column to take available extra space. This space is shared equally amongst all columns that have the expand set to %TRUE. If no column has this option set, then the last column gets all extra space. By default, every column is created with this %FALSE.

    Along with “fixed-width”, the “expand” property changes when the column is resized by the user.

    Parameters

    • expand: boolean

      %TRUE if the column should expand to fill available space.

    Returns void

  • set_fixed_width(fixed_width: number): void
  • If fixed_width is not -1, sets the fixed width of tree_column; otherwise unsets it. The effective value of fixed_width is clamped between the minimum and maximum width of the column; however, the value stored in the “fixed-width” property is not clamped. If the column sizing is #GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY or #GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE, setting a fixed width overrides the automatically calculated width. Note that fixed_width is only a hint to GTK+; the width actually allocated to the column may be greater or less than requested.

    Along with “expand”, the “fixed-width” property changes when the column is resized by the user.

    Parameters

    • fixed_width: number

      The new fixed width, in pixels, or -1.

    Returns void

  • set_max_width(max_width: number): void
  • Sets the maximum width of the tree_column. If max_width is -1, then the maximum width is unset. Note, the column can actually be wider than max width if it’s the last column in a view. In this case, the column expands to fill any extra space.

    Parameters

    • max_width: number

      The maximum width of the column in pixels, or -1.

    Returns void

  • set_min_width(min_width: number): void
  • Sets the minimum width of the tree_column. If min_width is -1, then the minimum width is unset.

    Parameters

    • min_width: number

      The minimum width of the column in pixels, or -1.

    Returns void

  • set_name(name: string): void
  • set_property(property_name: string, value?: any): void
  • set_reorderable(reorderable: boolean): void
  • If reorderable is %TRUE, then the column can be reordered by the end user dragging the header.

    Parameters

    • reorderable: boolean

      %TRUE, if the column can be reordered.

    Returns void

  • set_resizable(resizable: boolean): void
  • If resizable is %TRUE, then the user can explicitly resize the column by grabbing the outer edge of the column button. If resizable is %TRUE and sizing mode of the column is #GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_AUTOSIZE, then the sizing mode is changed to #GTK_TREE_VIEW_COLUMN_GROW_ONLY.

    Parameters

    • resizable: boolean

      %TRUE, if the column can be resized

    Returns void

  • set_sort_column_id(sort_column_id: number): void
  • Sets the logical sort_column_id that this column sorts on when this column is selected for sorting. Doing so makes the column header clickable.

    Parameters

    • sort_column_id: number

      The sort_column_id of the model to sort on.

    Returns void

  • set_sort_indicator(setting: boolean): void
  • Call this function with a setting of %TRUE to display an arrow in the header button indicating the column is sorted. Call gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_order() to change the direction of the arrow.

    Parameters

    • setting: boolean

      %TRUE to display an indicator that the column is sorted

    Returns void

  • Changes the appearance of the sort indicator.

    This does not actually sort the model. Use gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_column_id() if you want automatic sorting support. This function is primarily for custom sorting behavior, and should be used in conjunction with gtk_tree_sortable_set_sort_column_id() to do that. For custom models, the mechanism will vary.

    The sort indicator changes direction to indicate normal sort or reverse sort. Note that you must have the sort indicator enabled to see anything when calling this function; see gtk_tree_view_column_set_sort_indicator().

    Parameters

    • order: Gtk.SortType

      sort order that the sort indicator should indicate

    Returns void

  • set_spacing(spacing: number): void
  • Sets the spacing field of tree_column, which is the number of pixels to place between cell renderers packed into it.

    Parameters

    • spacing: number

      distance between cell renderers in pixels.

    Returns void

  • set_title(title: string): void
  • Sets the title of the tree_column. If a custom widget has been set, then this value is ignored.

    Parameters

    • title: string

      The title of the tree_column.

    Returns void

  • set_visible(visible: boolean): void
  • Sets the visibility of tree_column.

    Parameters

    • visible: boolean

      %TRUE if the tree_column is visible.

    Returns void

  • Sets the widget in the header to be widget. If widget is %NULL, then the header button is set with a #GtkLabel set to the title of tree_column.

    Parameters

    • widget: Gtk.Widget

      A child #GtkWidget, or %NULL.

    Returns void

  • steal_data(key?: string): object
  • steal_qdata(quark: number): object
  • 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 user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example:

    void
    object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object,
    const gchar *new_string)
    {
    // the quark, naming the object data
    GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
    // retrieve the old string list
    GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

    // prepend new string
    list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
    // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
    g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
    }
    static void
    free_string_list (gpointer data)
    {
    GList *node, *list = data;

    for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
    g_list_free (list);
    }

    Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

    Parameters

    • quark: number

      A #GQuark, naming the user data pointer

    Returns object

  • thaw_notify(): void
  • 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 #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

    It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

    Returns void

  • unref(): void
  • Decreases the reference count of object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).

    If the pointer to the #GObject may be reused in future (for example, if it is an instance variable of another object), it is recommended to clear the pointer to %NULL rather than retain a dangling pointer to a potentially invalid #GObject instance. Use g_clear_object() for this.

    Returns void

  • vfunc_add_attribute(cell: Gtk.CellRenderer, attribute: string, column: number): void
  • Adds an attribute mapping to the list in cell_layout.

    The column is the column of the model to get a value from, and the attribute is the parameter on cell to be set from the value. So for example if column 2 of the model contains strings, you could have the “text” attribute of a #GtkCellRendererText get its values from column 2.

    virtual

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer

    • attribute: string

      an attribute on the renderer

    • column: number

      the column position on the model to get the attribute from

    Returns void

  • vfunc_clear(): void
  • vfunc_clicked(): void
  • Emits the “clicked” signal on the column. This function will only work if tree_column is clickable.

    virtual

    Returns void

  • vfunc_constructed(): void
  • This is similar to gtk_buildable_parser_finished() but is called once for each custom tag handled by the buildable.

    virtual

    Parameters

    • builder: Gtk.Builder

      a #GtkBuilder

    • child: GObject.Object

      child object or %NULL for non-child tags

    • tagname: string

      the name of the tag

    • data: object

      user data created in custom_tag_start

    Returns void

  • This is called at the end of each custom element handled by the buildable.

    virtual

    Parameters

    • builder: Gtk.Builder

      #GtkBuilder used to construct this object

    • child: GObject.Object

      child object or %NULL for non-child tags

    • tagname: string

      name of tag

    • data: object

      user data that will be passed in to parser functions

    Returns void

  • vfunc_dispatch_properties_changed(n_pspecs: number, pspecs: ParamSpec): void
  • vfunc_dispose(): void
  • vfunc_finalize(): void
  • vfunc_get_name(): string
  • vfunc_get_property(property_id: number, value?: any, pspec?: ParamSpec): void
  • 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.

    Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

    virtual

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • Adds the cell to the end of cell_layout. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Note that reusing the same cell renderer is not supported.

    virtual

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer

    • expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to cell_layout

    Returns void

  • Packs the cell into the beginning of cell_layout. If expand is %FALSE, then the cell is allocated no more space than it needs. Any unused space is divided evenly between cells for which expand is %TRUE.

    Note that reusing the same cell renderer is not supported.

    virtual

    Parameters

    • cell: Gtk.CellRenderer

      a #GtkCellRenderer

    • expand: boolean

      %TRUE if cell is to be given extra space allocated to cell_layout

    Returns void

  • Called when the builder finishes the parsing of a [GtkBuilder UI definition][BUILDER-UI]. 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.

    virtual

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • vfunc_set_buildable_property(builder: Gtk.Builder, name: string, value: any): void
  • Sets the #GtkCellLayoutDataFunc to use for cell_layout.

    This function is used instead of the standard attributes mapping for setting the column value, and should set the value of cell_layout’s cell renderer(s) as appropriate.

    func may be %NULL to remove a previously set function.

    virtual

    Parameters

    Returns void

  • vfunc_set_name(name: string): void
  • vfunc_set_property(property_id: number, value?: any, pspec?: ParamSpec): void
  • watch_closure(closure: TClosure<any, any>): void
  • 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.

    Parameters

    • closure: TClosure<any, any>

      #GClosure to watch

    Returns void

  • compat_control(what: number, data: object): number
  • 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().

    Parameters

    • g_iface: TypeInterface

      any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface

    • property_name: string

      name of a property to look up.

    Returns ParamSpec

  • 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.

    If pspec is a floating reference, it will be consumed.

    Parameters

    • g_iface: TypeInterface

      any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface.

    • pspec: ParamSpec

      the #GParamSpec for the new property

    Returns void

  • 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().

    Parameters

    • g_iface: TypeInterface

      any interface vtable for the interface, or the default vtable for the interface

    Returns ParamSpec[]

  • Creates a new instance of a #GObject subtype and sets its properties.

    Construction parameters (see %G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT, %G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY) which are not explicitly specified are set to their default values.

    Parameters

    • object_type: GType<unknown>

      the type id of the #GObject subtype to instantiate

    • parameters: GObject.Parameter[]

      an array of #GParameter

    Returns GObject.Object
