Problem

In How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 1?, we allow users to remove nodes from a directory tree by pressing the 'Delete' key.

Note that in that example, every time you highlight a row and delete a node, the row is deleted and the highlight is gone too.

Suppose you would like the highlight to remain (i.e. highlight the same row again) so that the user can continue to press the 'Delete' key to delete the next node as shown below:

How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 2 - highlight remains?


Solution

Sample Code

Note 1: If you select "C:\", the program will run, but it will take a long time. You will see the processing, though, in the command window.

Note 2: On windows, you may see a warning "Gtk-WARNING: Could not find the icon 'stock_unknown'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it." This is from the GtkFileChooserButton. It's just a warning. You may ignore it, or go ahead and install it.

Note 3: The following image files are required by the sample code below. Please save a copy of the image files and put them in the same directory where you store the sample code.

Explanation

The above code is an extension of the code from How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 1? .

What's new here:

  1. Recod the position of the currently highlighted row.
  2. Note that instead of unset($model[$iter]), we can also use $model->remove($iter) to remove a node.
  3. Highlight the row at the position recorded in (1).
