Explanation

The above code is based on How to display a tree structure from array? and How to selectively display rows in GtkTreeView with GtkTreeModelFilter - Part 2?.

We also make use of the codes in How to set up menu and radio menu - Part 3 - add accelerators? to display a menu with accelerators so that we can use Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 and Ctrl-3 to switch between the three views.

What's new here:

  1. Set up model filter 1.
  2. Set up model filter 2.
  3. Switch to respective filter accordingly.

Note

Did you notice that when the filter is on (when you press Ctrl-2 or Ctrl-3), test1 did not appear on either one. When you apply modelfilter to a tree structure, if a parent node is not selected, none of its descendents will appear.
