Problem You would like to display checkboxes in a GtkSheet for user selection as shown below:
Solution
Important Note: This only works for PHP-GTK2 compliled with the additional library GtkExtra. For linux, you can download the files from http://gtkextra.sourceforge.net/ and do a recompile. For windows, you may use the builds by Elizabeth Smith or the official php-gtk2 beta release available at http://gtk.php.net/download.php. Both contain all the required gtkextra libraries and dll's. In the php.ini, don't forget to add php-gtk.extensions = php_gtk_extra2.dll to turn on GtkExtra.

Explanation The example above makes use of the code from How to use GtkSheet - Part 9 - using attach with justification?
What's new here:
- Create a GtkCheckBox.
- Attach the checkbox to the cell.
- For all other columns, we use GtkLabel for standard text.
- Get the pointer to the checkbox.
- Check if the checkbox is checked.
- If yes, we add it to the array
$selections
- Here we simply output the selected rows to the command window. In your applications, you can perform any actions based on user's selections.
Note
Note that in this example, I set the spreadsheet in browser mode for browse and selection only. Only the checkbox is editable. If you wish to set the entire spreadsheet to be editable, you may refer to the example How to use GtkSheet - Part 11 - setup combobox in cell?
Also, as I've mentioned in the blog, there's some problem with this method.
Try pressing the Tab key. Did you see the underlying GtkItemEntry?
I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug. Although I could find some ways to "gobble" up the Tab or arrow keys so that the GtkItemEntry doesn't appear, I know this should not be the right way of doing things.
Anybody knows how to "deactivate" the underlying GtkItemEntry?
