Description

The GtkCellRenderer is a base class of a set of objects used for rendering a cell to a GdkDrawable. These objects are used primarily by the GtkTreeView widget, though they aren't tied to them in any specific way. It is worth noting that GtkCellRenderer is not a GtkWidget and cannot be treated as such.

The primary use of a GtkCellRenderer is for drawing a certain graphical elements on a GdkDrawable. Typically, one cell renderer is used to draw many cells on the screen. To this extent, it isn't expected that a CellRenderer keep any permanent state around. Instead, any state is set just prior to use using GObjects property system. Then, the cell is measured using gtk_cell_renderer_get_size(). Finally, the cell is rendered in the correct location using gtk_cell_renderer_render().

There are a number of rules that must be followed when writing a new GtkCellRenderer. First and formost, it's important that a certain set of properties will always yield a cell renderer of the same size, barring a GtkStyle change. The GtkCellRenderer also has a number of generic properties that are expected to be honored by all children.

Beyond merely rendering a cell, cell renderers can optionally provide active user interface elements. A cell renderer can be activatable like GtkCellRendererToggle, which toggles when it gets activated by a mouse click, or it can be editable like GtkCellRendererText, which allows the user to edit the text using a GtkEntry. To make a cell renderer activatable or editable, you have to implement the activate or start_editing virtual functions, respectively.

Functions

gtk_cell_renderer_get_size ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_get_size (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                            GtkWidget *widget,
                            const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                            gint *x_offset,
                            gint *y_offset,
                            gint *width,
                            gint *height);

Obtains the width and height needed to render the cell. Used by view widgets to determine the appropriate size for the cell_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). If cell_area is not NULL, fills in the x and y offsets (if set) of the cell relative to this location.

Please note that the values set in width and height , as well as those in x_offset and y_offset are inclusive of the xpad and ypad properties.

Parameters

cell

a GtkCellRenderer

 

widget

the widget the renderer is rendering to

 

cell_area

The area a cell will be allocated, or NULL.

[allow-none]

x_offset

location to return x offset of cell relative to cell_area , or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

y_offset

location to return y offset of cell relative to cell_area , or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

width

location to return width needed to render a cell, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

height

location to return height needed to render a cell, or NULL.

[out][allow-none]

gtk_cell_renderer_render ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_render (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                          GdkWindow *window,
                          GtkWidget *widget,
                          const GdkRectangle *background_area,
                          const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                          const GdkRectangle *expose_area,
                          GtkCellRendererState flags);

Invokes the virtual render function of the GtkCellRenderer. The three passed-in rectangles are areas of window . Most renderers will draw within cell_area ; the xalign, yalign, xpad, and ypad fields of the GtkCellRenderer should be honored with respect to cell_area . background_area includes the blank space around the cell, and also the area containing the tree expander; so the background_area rectangles for all cells tile to cover the entire window . expose_area is a clip rectangle.

Parameters

cell

a GtkCellRenderer

 

window

a GdkDrawable to draw to

 

widget

the widget owning window

 

background_area

entire cell area (including tree expanders and maybe padding on the sides)

 

cell_area

area normally rendered by a cell renderer

 

expose_area

area that actually needs updating

 

flags

flags that affect rendering

 

gtk_cell_renderer_activate ()

                            GtkCellRendererState flags);

gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled (GtkCellRenderer *cell);

gtk_cell_renderer_editing_canceled has been deprecated since version 2.6 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use gtk_cell_renderer_stop_editing() instead

Causes the cell renderer to emit the “editing-canceled” signal.

This function is for use only by implementations of cell renderers that need to notify the client program that an editing process was canceled and the changes were not committed.

Parameters

cell

A GtkCellRenderer

 

Since: 2.4


gtk_cell_renderer_stop_editing ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_stop_editing (GtkCellRenderer *cell,

Informs the cell renderer that the editing is stopped. If canceled is TRUE, the cell renderer will emit the “editing-canceled” signal.

This function should be called by cell renderer implementations in response to the “editing-done” signal of GtkCellEditable.

Parameters

cell

A GtkCellRenderer

 

canceled

TRUE if the editing has been canceled

 

Since: 2.6

Signal Details

The “editing-canceled” signal

void
user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
               gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets emitted when the user cancels the process of editing a cell. For example, an editable cell renderer could be written to cancel editing when the user presses Escape.

See also: gtk_cell_renderer_stop_editing().

Parameters

renderer

the object which received the signal

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First

Since: 2.4


The “editing-started” signal

void
user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
               GtkCellEditable *editable,
               gchar           *path,
               gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited. The intended use of this signal is to do special setup on editable , e.g. adding a GtkEntryCompletion or setting up additional columns in a GtkComboBox.

Note that GTK+ doesn't guarantee that cell renderers will continue to use the same kind of widget for editing in future releases, therefore you should check the type of editable before doing any specific setup, as in the following example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
static void
text_editing_started (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                      GtkCellEditable *editable,
                      const gchar     *path,
                      gpointer         data)
{
  if (GTK_IS_ENTRY (editable))

    {
      GtkEntry *entry = GTK_ENTRY (editable);

      /* ... create a GtkEntryCompletion */

      gtk_entry_set_completion (entry, completion);
    }
}

Parameters

renderer

the object which received the signal

 

editable

the GtkCellEditable

 

path

the path identifying the edited cell

 

user_data

user data set when the signal handler was connected.

 

Flags: Run First
