Problem

In the previous example, I've showed you how to display a dynamic progress bar in a treeview.

Note that by default, the progress bar are displayed as percentages.

Suppose you would like to have display the progress bar as actual elapsed time in seconds (for row 0 and 1) and minutes (for row 2) as shown below:

How to display dynamic progress bar in GtkTreeView - Part 2?


Solution
  • First set up the dynamic progress bar as outlined in the previous article.
  • To change the text displayed on the progress bar, set the property 'text' of the progress bar with GObject::set_property().

Explanation

This example makes use of the code in How to display dynamic progress bar in GtkTreeView - Part 1?

What's new here:

  1. Store one more value (the actual seconds/minutes) in the model.
  2. Store the the percentage in the model.
  3. Store the actual time elapsed (in seconds or minutes) in the model.
  4. Retrieve the percentage.
  5. Retrieve the value.
  6. Update the progress bar (the percentage).
  7. Set the text to be displayed on the progress bar.

Note

Note that by default, the progress bar are displayed as percentages. In the next article, I'll show you how to display the progress bar as actual elapsed time in seconds (for row 0 and 1) and minutes (for row 2).
