Problem You would like to display bold and colored fonts in a treeview as shown below:
This feature has long existed even in the Gnope version. However until now, it is still not documented yet in the official php-gtk2 manual.
Solution
- Use GtkCelllayout::set_cell_data_func() to add your user-defined cell-display function.
- Display the cell content containing the pango markup by setting the property 'markup' (yes, it's not documented yet in the official php-gtk2 manual).

Explanation We make use of the code from the familiar treeview example: How to display a 2D array in GtkTreeView - Part 5 - get user selection?
What's new here:
- Setup the cell display funciton.
- Get the value of the current cell.
- For the description column (col 1), let's display it using Verdana size 12 in bold. (For linux users, please chnage to your respective font on your machine.)
- For the quantity column (col 2), let's display the quantity in red if it's less than 10, and in blue if it's more than or equals to 10.
- If you do not need any markup, just set the property 'text' instead of 'markup'.
- Display the rows in alternate row color.
Note
For more information on the pango markup language, please refer to: The Pango Markup Language - Quick Reference.

It works just right, but when you want to search for a row in runtime, you have to type whole markup, not only field text!

You can set up a custom compare function for the interactive search that strips away any markup text. Please refer to the article: How to finetune interactive search in GtkTreeView - Part 4 - set custom compare function?
