Detailed Description

A sorter implementation that is geared towards the needs of Gtk::ColumnView.

The sorter returned by Gtk::ColumnView::get_sorter() is a Gtk::ColumnViewSorter.

In column views, sorting can be configured by associating sorters with columns, and users can invert sort order by clicking on column headers. The API of Gtk::ColumnViewSorter is designed to allow saving and restoring this configuration.

If you are only interested in the primary sort column (i.e. the column where a sort indicator is shown in the header), then you can just look at property_primary_sort_column() and property_primary_sort_order().

If you want to store the full sort configuration, including secondary sort columns that are used for tie breaking, then you can use get_nth_sort_column(). To get notified about changes, use Gtk::Sorter::signal_changed().

To restore a saved sort configuration on a Gtk::ColumnView, use code like:

auto sorter = column_view->get_sorter();
auto column_view_sorter = std::dynamic_pointer_cast<Gtk::ColumnViewSorter>(sorter);
if (column_view_sorter)
{
for (unsigned int i = column_view_sorter->get_n_sort_columns(); i > 0; --i)
{
auto [column, sort_order] = column_view_sorter->get_nth_sort_column(i-1);
column_view->sort_by_column(column, sort_order);
}
}

Member Function Documentation

◆ get_n_sort_columns()

unsigned int Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_n_sort_columns ( ) const

Returns the number of columns by which the sorter sorts.

If the sorter of the primary sort column does not determine a total order, then the secondary sorters are consulted to break the ties.

Use the Gtk::Sorter::signal_changed() signal to get notified when the number of sort columns changes.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
The number of sort columns.

◆ get_nth_sort_column() [1/2]

std::pair< Glib::RefPtr< ColumnViewColumn >, SortType > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_nth_sort_column ( unsigned int  position)

Gets the position'th sort column and its associated sort order.

Use the Gtk::Sorter::signal_changed() signal to get notified when sort columns change.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Parameters
positionThe position of the sort column to retrieve (0 for the primary sort column).
Returns
{sort_column, sort_order} The position's sort column and sort order.

◆ get_nth_sort_column() [2/2]

std::pair< Glib::RefPtr< const ColumnViewColumn >, SortType > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_nth_sort_column ( unsigned int  position) const

See the non-const get_nth_sort_column().

◆ get_primary_sort_column() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< ColumnViewColumn > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_primary_sort_column ( )

Returns the primary sort column.

The primary sort column is the one that displays the triangle in a column view header.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
The primary sort column.

◆ get_primary_sort_column() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr< const ColumnViewColumn > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_primary_sort_column ( ) const

Returns the primary sort column.

The primary sort column is the one that displays the triangle in a column view header.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
The primary sort column.

◆ get_primary_sort_order()

SortType Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_primary_sort_order ( ) const

Returns the primary sort order.

The primary sort order determines whether the triangle displayed in the column view header of the primary sort column points upwards or downwards.

If there is no primary sort column, then this function returns Gtk::SortType::ASCENDING.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
The primary sort order.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::get_type ( )
static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkColumnViewSorter * Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::gobj ( )
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkColumnViewSorter * Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::gobj ( ) const
inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GtkColumnViewSorter * Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ operator=()

ColumnViewSorter & Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::operator= ( ColumnViewSorter &&  src)
noexcept

◆ property_primary_sort_column()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::RefPtr< ColumnViewColumn > > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::property_primary_sort_column ( ) const

The primary sort column.

The primary sort column is the one that displays the triangle in a column view header.

Since gtkmm 4.10:
Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_primary_sort_order()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< SortType > Gtk::ColumnViewSorter::property_primary_sort_order ( ) const

The primary sort order.

The primary sort order determines whether the triangle displayed in the column view header of the primary sort column points upwards or downwards.

Since gtkmm 4.10:

Default value: Gtk::SortType::ASCENDING

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
