Detailed Description

A list model that sorts its items.

Gtk::SortListModel is a list model that takes a list model and sorts its elements according to a Gtk::Sorter.

The model can be set up to do incremental sorting, so that sorting long lists doesn't block the UI. See set_incremental() for details.

Gtk::SortListModel is a generic model and because of that it cannot take advantage of any external knowledge when sorting. If you run into performance issues with Gtk::SortListModel, it is strongly recommended that you write your own sorting list model.

◆ get_incremental()

bool Gtk::SortListModel::get_incremental ( ) const

Returns whether incremental sorting is enabled.

See set_incremental().

Returns
true if incremental sorting is enabled.

◆ get_model() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr< Gio::ListModel > Gtk::SortListModel::get_model ( )

Gets the model currently sorted or nullptr if none.

Returns
The model that gets sorted.

◆ get_model() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr< const Gio::ListModel > Gtk::SortListModel::get_model ( ) const

Gets the model currently sorted or nullptr if none.

Returns
The model that gets sorted.

◆ get_pending()

guint Gtk::SortListModel::get_pending ( ) const

Estimates progress of an ongoing sorting operation.

The estimate is the number of items that would still need to be sorted to finish the sorting operation if this was a linear algorithm. So this number is not related to how many items are already correctly sorted.

If you want to estimate the progress, you can use code like this:

[C example ellipted]

If no sort operation is ongoing - in particular when property_incremental() is false - this function returns 0.

Returns
A progress estimate of remaining items to sort.

◆ set_incremental()

void Gtk::SortListModel::set_incremental ( bool  incremental = true)

Sets the sort model to do an incremental sort.

When incremental sorting is enabled, the Gtk::SortListModel will not do a complete sort immediately, but will instead queue an idle handler that incrementally sorts the items towards their correct position. This of course means that items do not instantly appear in the right place. It also means that the total sorting time is a lot slower.

When your filter blocks the UI while sorting, you might consider turning this on. Depending on your model and sorters, this may become interesting around 10,000 to 100,000 items.

By default, incremental sorting is disabled.

See get_pending() for progress information about an ongoing incremental sorting operation.

Parameters
incrementaltrue to sort incrementally.

◆ set_model()

void Gtk::SortListModel::set_model ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gio::ListModel > &  model)

Sets the model to be sorted.

The model's item type must conform to the item type of self.

Parameters
modelThe model to be sorted.

◆ set_section_sorter()

void Gtk::SortListModel::set_section_sorter ( const Glib::RefPtr< Sorter > &  sorter)

Sets a new section sorter on self.

Since gtkmm 4.12:
Parameters
sorterThe Gtk::Sorter to sort model with.

◆ set_sorter()

void Gtk::SortListModel::set_sorter ( const Glib::RefPtr< Sorter > &  sorter)

Sets a new sorter on self.

Parameters
sorterThe Gtk::Sorter to sort model with.
