Sample Code 307: How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 3 - remove child nodes only?

Problem

This is in response to Fernando's post titled 'Remove the nodes of a tree'.

Instead of remove the parent node+child nodes when the user presses the 'Delete' key, he would like to delete only the child nodes as shown below:

How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 3 - remove child nodes only?


Solution
  • Use $parent_node->children() to get all the first-level child nodes. Save these in an array.
  • Remove each of the first-level child node with unset($model[$iter]) (Please see Part 1 for more explanations).

Sample Code

Note 1: If you select "C:\", the program will run, but it will take a long time. You will see the processing, though, in the command window.

Note 2: On windows, you may see a warning "Gtk-WARNING: Could not find the icon 'stock_unknown'. The 'hicolor' theme was not found either, perhaps you need to install it." This is from the GtkFileChooserButton. It's just a warning. You may ignore it, or go ahead and install it.

Note 3: 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.

Explanation

The above code is an extension of the code from How to remove nodes from GtkTreeView - Part 2 - highlight remains? .

What's new here:

  1. Get all the first level of the child nodes.
  2. Get the corresponding iter.
  3. Store the corresponding path in the array $nodes_to_remove
  4. Note that we need to remove the paths in reverse order. Try removing the paths from $i=1 to count(nodes_to_remove) and you will know what I mean.
  5. Remove this node!
