Sample Code 65: How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2?
Written by kksou

Problem

In Part 1, you have used a GtkTreeModelFilter to selectively display certain rows of a GtkTreeView based on some criteria.

Instead of using one GtkTreeModelFilter for multiple criteria, you can use multiple GtkTreeModelFilters - one for each criteria - as shown below.

How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2?


Solution
  • Follow the steps as outlined in Part 1 and create two GtkTreeModelFilters.
  • For each filter, there will be one corresponding boolean field in the GtkListStore.
  • When the user switches view, we attach the corresponding model to the GtkTreeView by using GtkTreeview::set_model().

Explanation

The above code is based on How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 1?.

What's new here:

  1. Set up one Gtk::TYPE_BOOLEAN for each filter.
  2. Filter 1 uses column 4.
  3. Filter 2 uses column 5.
  4. We attach the original base model first, that is, initially, user will see the entire list.
  5. Calculates and sets the flag for filter 1.
  6. Calculates and sets the flag for filter 2.
  7. Switch views by setting the corresponding models.
  8. We use globals for $model, $modelfilter1, $modelfilter2, $view here. If you want to make this "cleaner", you can wrap all these using classes.
