James,
I appreciate your hints, unfortunately after further research and your
hints, I am still seeing the behavior previously described. I know it
is something that I am doing wrong and can't seem to figure out what.
I've added the following to the end of the routine that creates the
TreeView:
GtkTreeSelection *part_select = NULL;
part_select = gtk_tree_view_get_selection
( GTK_TREE_VIEW(winPartList.partlist) );
gtk_tree_selection_set_mode ( part_select, GTK_SELECTION_SINGLE );
g_object_set_data ( G_OBJECT(winPartList.partlist), "selection-pointer",
(gpointer) part_select );
And altered the routine that was giving me problems as follows:
gboolean
populate_part_general_tab( )
{
gchar *string = NULL;
gfloat *floater;
gint *integer;
GtkTreeSelection *part_select = NULL;
GtkTreeIter iter;
part_select = ( GtkTreeSelection
*)g_object_get_data( G_OBJECT(winPartList.partlist),
"selection-pointer" );
if ( gtk_tree_selection_get_selected(part_select, NULL, &iter) )
{
/* Set the part type combo box. */
gtk_tree_model_get( GTK_TREE_MODEL(winPartList.partstore),
&iter,
PART_COLUMN_CLASS, &integer,
-1 );
gtk_combo_box_set_active( GTK_COMBO_BOX( part_type ), integer );
Any further hints would be appreciated.
TIA
