Andrew,
I reviewed the code you supplied. The gtk_tree_model_get() have the
correct column numbers, so the fact that PART_COLUMN_CLASS is changing
is interesting from a gcc compiler option perspective; but not cause for
the problems you are experiencing.
PART_COLUMN_CLASS should be a fixed enum value, and any changes to its
value are likely to be caused by optimizing compiler options - not
runtime issues. What are your compiler options; "-Wall -g -ansi -O2",
where -oh two(not zero two) is significant. I'm going to ignore that
this number is changing - as its ability to change would cause chaos for
all of gtk which makes extensive use of enums.
Most likely cause of the behavior you describe!. The *iter value is not
set to the currently selected row. I.E no selection mechanisum being
used, or used incorrectly.
CODE EXAMPLE:
/* at the end of the treeview create routine */
...
GtkTreeSelection *part_select = NULL;
part_select = gtk_tree_view_get_selection (GTK_TREE_VIEW (treeview));
gtk_tree_selection_set_mode (part_select, GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE);
g_object_set_data (G_OBJECT (treeview), "selection-pointer", (gpointer)
part_select);
...
/*
* in the supplied routine -- validate the selection first,
* then get/set data as originally shown
*/
GtkTreeSelection *part_select = NULL;
GtkTreeIter iter; /* will get set to the selection */
part_select = (GtkTreeSelection *)g_object_get_data (G_OBJECT(treeview),
"selection-pointer");
if (gtk_tree_selection_get_selected (prod_select, NULL, &iter))
{
gtk_tree_model_get (model, &iter...); /* NOTICE SYNTAX OF iter --> & */
/* -- set data */
}
else
{
/* nothing selected */
}
END CODE EXAMPLE:
Maybe this is what was calling your original routine, I don't know.
These are tips, research and adapt to your program as needed. The
thinking is to set treeview for single selection, and when selected get
the selected iter, then get the data. Getting the selected iter ensure
you get the correct one each time.
g_object_get_data/g_object_set_data() are example ways of storing values
in the common object, so your routines don't need such a long parm list.
