Detailed Description

Typedefed as TreeModel::ColumnRecord.

Keeps a record of TreeModelColumns. ColumnRecord objects are used to setup a new TreeModel (or rather, an implementation of the model, like Gtk::ListStore or Gtk::TreeStore). It is convenient to do that by deriving from TreeModel::ColumnRecord:

 class MyModelColumns : public Gtk::TreeModel::ColumnRecord
 {
 public:
   Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring>                filename;
   Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring>                description;
   Gtk::TreeModelColumn< Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> >  thumbnail;

   MyModelColumns() { add(filename); add(description); add(thumbnail); }
 };
 
An instance of MyModelColumns should be passed to ListStore::create() or TreeStore::create(). The members filename, description and thumbnail can then be used with Gtk::TreeRow::operator[]() to specify the column you're interested in.

Neither TreeModel::ColumnRecord nor the TreeModelColumns contain any real data -- it's merely a description of what type is stored in which column of a TreeModel. Thus it's absolutely legal to use a statically allocated TreeModel::ColumnRecord (as long as you make sure it's instantiated after Gtk::Main), even when creating multiple models from it.

Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::TreeModelColumnRecord::add ( TreeModelColumnBase   column
 

Adds a TreeModelColumn to this record.

add() not only registers the column, but also assigns a column index to it. Once registered, the TreeModelColumn is final, and you're free to pass it around by value.
