Problem This is in response to Giovanni's post titled "a button with an image in it in a Treeview".
In Part 1, I've showed a solution using GtkListStore.
In Part 2, we used a tree store instead of list store.
In this Part 3, we add a realtime total time elapsed to the project (which is the total sum of time elapsed for each individual activity) as shown below.
We also add the following enhancements:
- There was a lag of 1 second after you click the start button. This has been fixed.
- Fixed the bug in which the timers starts when you click on the button_blank32.gif that goes with a project.
- Wrote a format_time() function so that it can now displays time greater than 24 hrs

Solution
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? You may also want to take a look here to see some of the new exciting PHP-GTK2 Functionalities.
Sample Code 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.
 | button_start32.gif |
 | button_stop32.gif |
 | button_blank32.gif (note: this one looks empty, but there's a blank image there. I added a border so that you can see it.) |

Explanation
- Note that we added column 9 to store the total time elapsed for each activity.
- This line takes care of clicking on the button_blank32.gif on the project.
- Show the time immdiately after the user clicks on the button - so that it feels more responsive.
- Updates the total time elapsed into column 9 - this will make it easier when we calculate the total time elpased of the project.
- This is the new function that formats the time so that it can display time greater than 24 hours.
- Get the parent iter (which is the corresponding project).
- Sum up all the time elapsed of each individual activity.
- Update the total time elapsed for the project into column 5, so that it gets automatically displayed by the treeview.
