Explanation

Please take a look at the article How to drag and drop between 2 GtkTreeViews - Part 1 - left to right? if you haven't. The way to set up the drag and drop is exactly the same.

What's new here:

  1. Set up drag.
  2. Set up drop.
  3. In the callback function, php-gtk2 only tells us the x and y coordinates where the user drops the item. The function GtkTreeview::get_path_at_pos() comes in very handy to transform this into the row number. Please take note that the path returned by this function starts the row at 1, and not 0! Not sure if this is a bug...
