Detailed Description

CellRenderers are used by Gtk::TreeView columns to render the Gtk::TreeModel column data appropriately.

They display, and allow editing of, the values of their properties. In most cases, Gtk::TreeView::append_column() will automatically choose the appropriate renderer for the mode column's data type, so you will rarely need to worry about these classes.

		const Gdk::Rectangle&	background_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	cell_area,

Passes an activate event to the cell renderer for possible processing.

Some cell renderers may use events; for example, Gtk::CellRendererToggle toggles when it gets a mouse click.

Parameters:

event	A Gdk::Event.
widget	Widget that received the event.
path	Widget-dependent string representation of the event location; e.g. for Gtk::TreeView, a string representation of Gtk::TreePath.
background_area	Background area as passed to render().
cell_area	Cell area as passed to render().
flags	Render flags.

Returns:

true if the event was consumed/handled.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::render	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Window >&	window,
		Widget&	widget,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	background_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	cell_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	expose_area,
		CellRendererState	flags
	)

Invokes the virtual render function of the Gtk::CellRenderer.

The three passed-in rectangles are areas of window. Most renderers will draw within cell_area; the xalign, yalign, xpad, and ypad fields of the Gtk::CellRenderer should be honored with respect to cell_area. background_area includes the blank space around the cell, and also the area containing the tree expander; so the background_area rectangles for all cells tile to cover the entire window. expose_area is a clip rectangle.

Parameters:

window	A Gdk::Drawable to draw to.
widget	The widget owning window.
background_area	Entire cell area (including tree expanders and maybe padding on the sides).
cell_area	Area normally rendered by a cell renderer.
expose_area	Area that actually needs updating.
flags	Flags that affect rendering.

virtual void Gtk::CellRenderer::render_vfunc	(	const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Drawable >&	window,
		Widget&	widget,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	background_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	cell_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	expose_area,
		CellRendererState	flags
	)		[protected, virtual]

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_alignment	(	float	align,
		float	yalign
	)

Sets the renderer's alignment within its available space.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

xalign	The x alignment of the cell renderer.
yalign	The y alignment of the cell renderer.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_fixed_size	(	int	width,
		int	height
	)

Sets the renderer size to be explicit, independent of the properties set.

Parameters:

width	The width of the cell renderer, or -1.
height	The height of the cell renderer, or -1.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_padding	(	int	xpad,
		int	ypad
	)

Sets the renderer's padding.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

xpad	The x padding of the cell renderer.
ypad	The y padding of the cell renderer.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_sensitive

(

bool

sensitive = true

)

Sets the cell renderer's sensitivity.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

sensitive

The sensitivity of the cell.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_visible

(

bool

visible = true

)

Sets the cell renderer's visibility.

Since gtkmm 2.18:

Parameters:

visible

The visibility of the cell.

Glib::SignalProxy0< void > Gtk::CellRenderer::signal_editing_canceled

(

)

This signal is emitted when the user cancels the process of editing a cell.

For example, an editable cell renderer could be written to cancel editing when the user presses Escape.

See also:

editing_canceled()

Prototype:

void on_my_editing_canceled()

Glib::SignalProxy2< void,CellEditable*,const Glib::ustring& > Gtk::CellRenderer::signal_editing_started

(

)

This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited.

The indended use of this signal is to do special setup on editable, e.g. adding an EntryCompletion or setting up additional columns in a ComboBox.

Note that GTK+ doesn't guarantee that cell renderers will continue to use the same kind of widget for editing in future releases, therefore you should check the type of editable before doing any specific setup.

Note that this signal does not work yet in gtkmm. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301597

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

editable	the CellEditable.
path	the path identifying the edited cell.

Prototype:

void on_my_editing_started(CellEditable* editable, const Glib::ustring& path)

CellEditable* Gtk::CellRenderer::start_editing	(	GdkEvent *	event,
		Widget&	widget,
		const Glib::ustring &	path,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	background_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	cell_area,
		CellRendererState	flags = CellRendererState(0)
	)

Passes an activate event to the cell renderer for possible processing.

Parameters:

event	A Gdk::Event.
widget	Widget that received the event.
path	Widget-dependent string representation of the event location; e.g. for Gtk::TreeView, a string representation of Gtk::TreePath.
background_area	Background area as passed to render().
cell_area	Cell area as passed to render().
flags	Render flags.

Returns:

A new Gtk::CellEditable, or 0.

virtual CellEditable* Gtk::CellRenderer::start_editing_vfunc	(	GdkEvent *	event,
		Widget&	widget,
		const Glib::ustring &	path,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	background_area,
		const Gdk::Rectangle&	cell_area,
		CellRendererState	flags
	)		[protected, virtual]

void Gtk::CellRenderer::stop_editing

(

bool

canceled = false

)

Informs the cell renderer that the editing is stopped.

If canceled is true, the cell renderer will emit the Gtk::CellRenderer::editing-canceled signal.

This function should be called by cell renderer implementations in response to the Gtk::CellEditable::editing-done signal of Gtk::CellEditable.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters:

canceled

true if the editing has been canceled.
