## Detailed Description

A path is essentially a potential node.

It is a location on a model that may or may not actually correspond to a node on a specific model.

A Path can be converted into either an array of unsigned integers or a string. The string form is a list of numbers separated by a colon. Each number refers to the offset at that level. Thus, the path "0" refers to the root node and the path "2:4" refers to the fifth child of the third node.

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeModel::Path.

|  | Glib::RefPtr< const TreeModel >& | model,
|  | TreePath& | path
| ) |  |
| static

Obtains a Gtk::TreeModel and Gtk::TreeModel::Path from selection data of target type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW".

Normally called from a drag_data_received handler. This function can only be used if selection_data originates from the same process that's calling this function, because a pointer to the tree model is being passed around. If you aren't in the same process, then you'll get memory corruption. In the Gtk::TreeDragDest drag_data_received signal handler, you can assume that selection data of type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW" is from the current process.

Parameters

  | selection_data | A SelectionData
  [out] | model | A Gtk::TreeModel
  [out] | path | A row in model

Returns
  `true` if the selection_data had target type GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW and is otherwise valid.

static bool Gtk::TreePath::get_from_selection_data | ( | const SelectionData& | selection_data,
|  | TreePath& | path
| ) |  |
| static

See description in the other overload.

static GType Gtk::TreePath::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

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

GtkTreePath* Gtk::TreePath::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

const GtkTreePath* Gtk::TreePath::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GtkTreePath* Gtk::TreePath::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

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

bool Gtk::TreePath::is_ancestor | ( | const TreePath& | descendant | ) | const

Returns `true` if descendant is a descendant of path.

Parameters

  descendant | Another Gtk::TreePath-struct.

Returns
  `true` if descendant is contained inside path.

bool Gtk::TreePath::is_descendant | ( | const TreePath& | ancestor | ) | const

Returns `true` if path is a descendant of ancestor.

Parameters

  ancestor | Another Gtk::TreePath-struct.

Returns
  `true` if ancestor contains path somewhere below it.

void Gtk::TreePath::next | ( |  | ) |

Moves the path to point to the next node at the current depth.

Gtk::TreePath::operator bool | ( |  | ) | const
| explicit

Checks that the path is not empty, by calling empty().

For instance,

if(treepath)
do_something()

Since gtkmm 3.22:

TreePath& Gtk::TreePath::operator= | ( | const TreePath& | other | ) |

TreePath& Gtk::TreePath::operator= | ( | TreePath&& | other | ) |
| noexcept

TreePath& Gtk::TreePath::operator= | ( | const TreeModel::iterator& | iter | ) |

reference Gtk::TreePath::operator[] | ( | size_type | i | ) |

const_reference Gtk::TreePath::operator[] | ( | size_type | i | ) | const

bool Gtk::TreePath::prev | ( |  | ) |

Moves the path to point to the previous node at the current depth, if it exists.

Returns
  `true` if path has a previous node, and the move was made.

void Gtk::TreePath::push_back | ( | int | index | ) |

Appends a new index to a path.

As a result, the depth of the path is increased.

Parameters

  index | The index.

void Gtk::TreePath::push_front | ( | int | index | ) |

Prepends a new index to a path.

As a result, the depth of the path is increased.

Parameters

  index | The index.

bool Gtk::TreePath::set_in_selection_data | ( | SelectionData& | selection_data,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< const TreeModel >& | model
| ) |  | const

Sets selection data of target type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW".

Normally used in a drag_data_get signal handler.

Parameters

  [in,out] | selection_data | Some SelectionData
  | model | A Gtk::TreeModel

Returns
  `true` if the selection_data had the proper target type to allow us to set a tree row.

size_type Gtk::TreePath::size | ( |  | ) | const

void Gtk::TreePath::swap | ( | TreePath& | other | ) |
| noexcept

Glib::ustring Gtk::TreePath::to_string | ( |  | ) | const

Generates a string representation of the path.

This string is a “:” separated list of numbers. For example, “4:10:0:3” would be an acceptable return value for this string.

Returns
  The string.

bool Gtk::TreePath::up | ( |  | ) |

Moves the path to point to its parent node, if it has a parent.

Returns
  `true` if path has a parent, and the move was made.
