GtkTreeDragSource is implemented by GtkTreeModelSort, GtkTreeStore, GtkListStore and GtkTreeModelFilter.
GtkTreeDragDest is implemented by GtkTreeStore and GtkListStore.
GTK+ supports Drag-and-Drop in tree views with a high-level and a low-level API.
The low-level API consists of the GTK+ DND API, augmented by some treeview utility functions: gtk_tree_view_set_drag_dest_row(), gtk_tree_view_get_drag_dest_row(), gtk_tree_view_get_dest_row_at_pos(), gtk_tree_view_create_row_drag_icon(), gtk_tree_set_row_drag_data() and gtk_tree_get_row_drag_data(). This API leaves a lot of flexibility, but nothing is done automatically, and implementing advanced features like hover-to-open-rows or autoscrolling on top of this API is a lot of work.
On the other hand, if you write to the high-level API, then all the bookkeeping of rows is done for you, as well as things like hover-to-open and auto-scroll, but your models have to implement the GtkTreeDragSource and GtkTreeDragDest interfaces.
typedef struct { GTypeInterface g_iface; /* VTable - not signals */ gboolean (* row_draggable) (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path); gboolean (* drag_data_get) (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path, GtkSelectionData *selection_data); gboolean (* drag_data_delete) (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path); } GtkTreeDragSourceIface;
gboolean gtk_tree_drag_source_drag_data_delete (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path);
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to delete the row at path, because it was moved somewhere else via drag-and-drop. Returns FALSE if the deletion fails because path no longer exists, or for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!
drag_source : | a GtkTreeDragSource |
path : | row that was being dragged |
Returns : | TRUE if the row was successfully deleted |
gboolean gtk_tree_drag_source_drag_data_get (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path, GtkSelectionData *selection_data);
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource to fill in selection_data with a representation of the row at path. selection_data->target gives the required type of the data. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!
drag_source : | a GtkTreeDragSource |
path : | row that was dragged |
selection_data : | a GtkSelectionData to fill with data from the dragged row |
Returns : | TRUE if data of the required type was provided |
gboolean gtk_tree_drag_source_row_draggable (GtkTreeDragSource *drag_source, GtkTreePath *path);
Asks the GtkTreeDragSource whether a particular row can be used as the source of a DND operation. If the source doesn't implement this interface, the row is assumed draggable.
drag_source : | a GtkTreeDragSource |
path : | row on which user is initiating a drag |
Returns : | TRUE if the row can be dragged |
typedef struct { GTypeInterface g_iface; /* VTable - not signals */ gboolean (* drag_data_received) (GtkTreeDragDest *drag_dest, GtkTreePath *dest, GtkSelectionData *selection_data); gboolean (* row_drop_possible) (GtkTreeDragDest *drag_dest, GtkTreePath *dest_path, GtkSelectionData *selection_data); } GtkTreeDragDestIface;
gboolean gtk_tree_drag_dest_drag_data_received (GtkTreeDragDest *drag_dest, GtkTreePath *dest, GtkSelectionData *selection_data);
Asks the GtkTreeDragDest to insert a row before the path dest, deriving the contents of the row from selection_data. If dest is outside the tree so that inserting before it is impossible, FALSE will be returned. Also, FALSE may be returned if the new row is not created for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a dest no longer found in the model!
drag_dest : | a GtkTreeDragDest |
dest : | row to drop in front of |
selection_data : | data to drop |
Returns : | whether a new row was created before position dest |
gboolean gtk_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_possible (GtkTreeDragDest *drag_dest, GtkTreePath *dest_path, GtkSelectionData *selection_data);
Determines whether a drop is possible before the given dest_path, at the same depth as dest_path. i.e., can we drop the data in selection_data at that location. dest_path does not have to exist; the return value will almost certainly be FALSE if the parent of dest_path doesn't exist, though.
drag_dest : | a GtkTreeDragDest |
dest_path : | destination row |
selection_data : | the data being dragged |
Returns : | TRUE if a drop is possible before dest_path |
gboolean gtk_tree_set_row_drag_data (GtkSelectionData *selection_data, GtkTreeModel *tree_model, GtkTreePath *path);
Sets selection data of target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW. Normally used in a drag_data_get handler.
selection_data : | some GtkSelectionData |
tree_model : | a GtkTreeModel |
path : | a row in tree_model |
Returns : | TRUE if the GtkSelectionData had the proper target type to allow us to set a tree row |
gboolean gtk_tree_get_row_drag_data (GtkSelectionData *selection_data, GtkTreeModel **tree_model, GtkTreePath **path);
Obtains a tree_model and path from selection data of target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW. Normally called from a drag_data_received handler. This function can only be used if selection_data originates from the same process that's calling this function, because a pointer to the tree model is being passed around. If you aren't in the same process, then you'll get memory corruption. In the GtkTreeDragDest drag_data_received handler, you can assume that selection data of type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW is in from the current process. The returned path must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().
selection_data : | a GtkSelectionData |
tree_model : | a GtkTreeModel |
path : | row in tree_model |
Returns : | TRUE if selection_data had target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW and is otherwise valid |
