Problem

This is the OOP version of How to drag and drop between 2 GtkTreeViews - Part 7 - another method of passing along complex drag info?.

There are two approaches to this. In How to drag and drop between 2 GtkTreeViews - Part 8 - another method of passing along complex drag info - OOP ver 1? I presented version 1 which uses OOP at the application level.

This article presents the second approach in which we use OOP at the widget level as shown below.

How to drag and drop between 2 GtkTreeViews - Part 9 - another method of passing along complex drag info - OOP ver 2?


Solution

Sample Code

Important Note: This only works for PHP-GTK2 compliled with gtk+ v2.10 and above. If you are using an older version, for linux, you may follow the step-by-step instructions to recompile php-gtk2 with gtk+ v2.10. For windows, please refer to How to install php gtk2 on windows?

Explanation

We make use of the code from How to drag and drop between 2 GtkTreeViews - Part 7 - another method of passing along complex drag info?

What's new here:

  1. Create a subclass of GtkTreeView and set up a member to store the drag info.
  2. Use our version of TreeView which contains the drag info as its member.
  3. Store the drag info.
  4. Store the name of the member in the drag information $data.
  5. Retrieve the name of the member.
  6. Retrieve the data.
