Detailed Description

A list model for strings.

Gtk::StringList is a list model that wraps an array of strings.

The items in the model are of type Gtk::StringObject.

Gtk::StringList is well-suited for any place where you would typically use a vector or array of Glib::ustring, but need a list model.

Gtk::StringList as Gtk::Buildable

The Gtk::StringList implementation of the Gtk::Buildable interface supports adding items directly using the <items> element and specifying <item> elements for each item. Each <item> element supports the regular translation attributes “translatable”, “context” and “comments”.

Here is a UI definition fragment specifying a Gtk::StringList

<object class="GtkStringList">
  <items>
    <item translatable="yes">Factory</item>
    <item translatable="yes">Home</item>
    <item translatable="yes">Subway</item>
  </items>
</object>

Member Function Documentation

append()

void Gtk::StringList::append

(

const Glib::ustring &

string

)

Appends string to self.

The string will be copied. See take() for a way to avoid that.

Parameters

string

The string to insert.

create()

static Glib::RefPtr< StringList > Gtk::StringList::create ( const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &  strings = {} )

static

Creates a new StringList with the given strings.

Parameters

strings

The strings to put in the model. Since 4.10 this parameter has a default value.

Returns

A new Gtk::StringList.

get_string()

Glib::ustring Gtk::StringList::get_string

(

guint

position

)

const

Gets the string that is at position in self.

If self does not contain position items, nullptr is returned.

This function returns the const char *. To get the object wrapping it, use Glib::list_model_get_item().

Parameters

position

The position to get the string for.

Returns

The string at the given position.

get_type()

static GType Gtk::StringList::get_type ( )

static

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

gobj() [1/2]

GtkStringList * Gtk::StringList::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

gobj() [2/2]

const GtkStringList * Gtk::StringList::gobj ( ) const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

gobj_copy()

GtkStringList * Gtk::StringList::gobj_copy

(

)

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

operator=()

StringList & Gtk::StringList::operator= ( StringList &&  src )

noexcept

remove()

void Gtk::StringList::remove

(

guint

position

)

Removes the string at position from self.

position must be smaller than the current length of the list.

Parameters

position

The position of the string that is to be removed.

splice()

void Gtk::StringList::splice	(	guint	position,
		guint	n_removals,
		const std::vector< Glib::ustring > &	additions
	)

Changes self by removing n_removals strings and adding additions to it.

This function is more efficient than append() and remove(), because it only emits the signal_items_changed() signal once for the change.

This function copies the strings in additions.

The parameters position and n_removals must be correct (ie: position + n_removals must be less than or equal to the length of the list at the time this function is called).

Parameters

position	The position at which to make the change.
n_removals	The number of strings to remove.
additions	The strings to add.

wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::StringList > wrap ( GtkStringList *  object, bool  take_copy = false  )

related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

object	The C instance.
take_copy	False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns

A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
