Class

GtkIconView

deprecated: 4.10 

Description [src]

final class Gtk.IconView : Gtk.Widget
  implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.CellLayout, Gtk.ConstraintTarget, Gtk.Scrollable {
  /* No available fields */
}

GtkIconView is a widget which displays data in a grid of icons.

GtkIconView provides an alternative view on a GtkTreeModel. 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 gtk_icon_view_set_selection_mode()). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, GtkIconView supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

Note that if the tree model is backed by an actual tree store (as opposed to a flat list where the mapping to icons is obvious), GtkIconView will only display the first level of the tree and ignore the tree’s branches.

CSS nodes

iconview.view
╰── [rubberband]

GtkIconView has a single CSS node with name iconview and style class .view. For rubberband selection, a subnode with name rubberband is used.

Deprecated since: 4.10

Sets the column with pixbufs for icon_view to be column. The pixbuf column must be of type GDK_TYPE_PIXBUF

deprecated: 4.10 

gtk_icon_view_set_reorderable

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. The reordering is implemented by setting up the icon view as a drag source and destination. Therefore, drag and drop can not be used in a reorderable view for any other purpose.

deprecated: 4.10 

gtk_icon_view_set_tooltip_column

If you only plan to have simple (text-only) tooltips on full items, you can use this function to have GtkIconView handle these automatically for you. column should be set to the column in icon_view’s model containing the tooltip texts, or -1 to disable this feature.

deprecated: 4.10 

gtk_icon_view_set_tooltip_item

Sets the tip area of tooltip to be the area covered by the item at path. See also gtk_icon_view_set_tooltip_column() for a simpler alternative. See also gtk_tooltip_set_tip_area().

Unselects the row at path.

deprecated: 4.10
