Description

ExoIconView provides an alternative view on a list model. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like GtkTreeView, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see exo_icon_view_set_selection_mode()). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, ExoIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Sets the current keyboard focus to be at path, and selects it. This is useful when you want to focus the user's attention on a particular item. If cell is not NULL, then focus is given to the cell specified by it. Additionally, if start_editing is TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell.

This function is often followed by gtk_widget_grab_focus (icon_view) in order to give keyboard focus to the widget. Please note that editing can only happen when the widget is realized.

exo_icon_view_scroll_to_path ()

void                exo_icon_view_scroll_to_path        (ExoIconView *icon_view,
                                                         GtkTreePath *path,

                                                         gfloat col_align);

Moves the alignments of icon_view to the position specified by path. row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is FALSE, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the tree_view is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.

icon_view :

A ExoIconView.

path :

The path of the item to move to.

use_align :

whether to use alignment arguments, or FALSE.

row_align :

The vertical alignment of the item specified by path.

col_align :

The horizontal alignment of the item specified by column.

This function is a convenience function to allow you to reorder models that support the GtkTreeDragSourceIface and the GtkTreeDragDestIface. Both GtkTreeStore and GtkListStore support these. If reorderable is TRUE, then the user can reorder the model by dragging and dropping rows. The developer can listen to these changes by connecting to the model's ::row-inserted and ::row-deleted signals.

This function does not give you any degree of control over the order -- any reordering is allowed. If more control is needed, you should probably handle drag and drop manually.

reorderable :

TRUE, if the list of items can be reordered.
