Problem This example serves to show that we can dynamically change the contents of a GtkWindow by selectively removing the unwanted widgets and replacing with new widgets.
The sample code below will first display a 2D array using GtkTable. At the click of a button, the same data will be displayed in a GtkTreeView. Click the button again, it will change back to using GtkTable.

Explanation We make use of the code in How to display a 2D array in table - Part 5? to display a 2D array using GtkTable, and the code in How to display a 2D array in GtkTreeView - Part 5 - get user selection? to display a 2D array using GtkTreeView.
What's new here:
- First display the 2D array in GtkTable.
- Set up the button.
- Get all the widgets inside
$vbox.
- Both GtkTable and GtkTreeView happen to be the last widget inside $vbox. Let's get its ID and remove it!
- Display the 2D array again using the new format.
- Refresh the window contents.
