Description

The GtkCellRenderer is a base class of a set of objects used for rendering a cell to a cairo_t. These objects are used primarily by the GtkTreeView widget, though they aren’t tied to them in any specific way. It is worth noting that GtkCellRenderer is not a GtkWidget and cannot be treated as such.

The primary use of a GtkCellRenderer is for drawing a certain graphical elements on a cairo_t. Typically, one cell renderer is used to draw many cells on the screen. To this extent, it isn’t expected that a CellRenderer keep any permanent state around. Instead, any state is set just prior to use using GObjects property system. Then, the cell is measured using gtk_cell_renderer_get_size(). Finally, the cell is rendered in the correct location using gtk_cell_renderer_render().

There are a number of rules that must be followed when writing a new GtkCellRenderer. First and foremost, it’s important that a certain set of properties will always yield a cell renderer of the same size, barring a GtkStyle change. The GtkCellRenderer also has a number of generic properties that are expected to be honored by all children.

Beyond merely rendering a cell, cell renderers can optionally provide active user interface elements. A cell renderer can be “activatable” like GtkCellRendererToggle, which toggles when it gets activated by a mouse click, or it can be “editable” like GtkCellRendererText, which allows the user to edit the text using a widget implementing the GtkCellEditable interface, e.g. GtkEntry. To make a cell renderer activatable or editable, you have to implement the GtkCellRendererClass.activate or GtkCellRendererClass.start_editing virtual functions, respectively.

Many properties of GtkCellRenderer and its subclasses have a corresponding “set” property, e.g. “cell-background-set” corresponds to “cell-background”. These “set” properties reflect whether a property has been set or not. You should not set them independently.

Functions

gtk_cell_renderer_class_set_accessible_type ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_class_set_accessible_type
                               (GtkCellRendererClass *renderer_class,
                                GType type);

Sets the type to be used for creating accessibles for cells rendered by cell renderers of renderer_class . Note that multiple accessibles will be created.

This function should only be called from class init functions of cell renderers.

Parameters

renderer_class	class to set the accessible type for
type	The object type that implements the accessible for `widget_class` . The type must be a subtype of GtkRendererCellAccessible

gtk_cell_renderer_get_aligned_area ()

                                    GtkWidget *widget,
                                    GtkCellRendererState flags,
                                    const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                                    GdkRectangle *aligned_area);

Gets the aligned area used by cell inside cell_area . Used for finding the appropriate edit and focus rectangle.

Parameters

cell	a GtkCellRenderer instance
widget	the GtkWidget this cell will be rendering to
flags	render flags
cell_area	cell area which would be passed to `gtk_cell_renderer_render()`
aligned_area	the return location for the space inside `cell_area` that would acually be used to render.	[out]

Since: 3.0

gtk_cell_renderer_get_size ()

void
gtk_cell_renderer_get_size (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                            GtkWidget *widget,
                            const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                            gint *x_offset,
                            gint *y_offset,
                            gint *width,
                            gint *height);

gtk_cell_renderer_get_size has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_size() instead.

Obtains the width and height needed to render the cell. Used by view widgets to determine the appropriate size for the cell_area passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render(). If cell_area is not NULL, fills in the x and y offsets (if set) of the cell relative to this location.

Please note that the values set in width and height , as well as those in x_offset and y_offset are inclusive of the xpad and ypad properties.

Parameters

cell	a GtkCellRenderer
widget	the widget the renderer is rendering to
cell_area	The area a cell will be allocated, or `NULL`.	[allow-none]
x_offset	location to return x offset of cell relative to `cell_area` , or `NULL`.	[out][allow-none]
y_offset	location to return y offset of cell relative to `cell_area` , or `NULL`.	[out][allow-none]
width	location to return width needed to render a cell, or `NULL`.	[out][allow-none]
height	location to return height needed to render a cell, or `NULL`.	[out][allow-none]

gtk_cell_renderer_render ()

                          GtkWidget *widget,
                          const GdkRectangle *background_area,
                          const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                          GtkCellRendererState flags);

Invokes the virtual render function of the GtkCellRenderer. The three passed-in rectangles are areas in cr . Most renderers will draw within cell_area ; the xalign, yalign, xpad, and ypad fields of the GtkCellRenderer 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 .

Parameters

cell	a GtkCellRenderer
cr	a cairo context 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
flags	flags that affect rendering

                            GtkCellRendererState flags);

path	widget-dependent string representation of the event location; e.g. for GtkTreeView, a string representation of GtkTreePath

Signal Details

The `“editing-canceled”` signal

void
user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
               gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets 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.

Parameters

renderer	the object which received the signal
user_data	user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Run First

Since: 2.4

The `“editing-started”` signal

void
user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
               GtkCellEditable *editable,
               char            *path,
               gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited. The intended use of this signal is to do special setup on editable , e.g. adding a GtkEntryCompletion or setting up additional columns in a GtkComboBox.

See gtk_cell_editable_start_editing() for information on the lifecycle of the editable and a way to do setup that doesn’t depend on the renderer .

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, as in the following example:

static void
text_editing_started (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                      GtkCellEditable *editable,
                      const gchar     *path,
                      gpointer         data)
{
  if (GTK_IS_ENTRY (editable))

    {
      GtkEntry *entry = GTK_ENTRY (editable);

      // ... create a GtkEntryCompletion

      gtk_entry_set_completion (entry, completion);
    }
}

Parameters

renderer	the object which received the signal
editable	the GtkCellEditable
path	the path identifying the edited cell
user_data	user data set when the signal handler was connected.

Flags: Run First

Since: 2.6
