Third attempt with this mail. There was some confusion with my email address coming out as [EMAIL PROTECTED] even though I set it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you get this multiple times then I apologise.
--------------- Hi, I have a situation where I want to display data in a tree view and have the leftmost columns not scroll. e.g. I have five columns abcde with only four columns visible (abcd) pressing right on the horizontal scrollbar should scroll bcde, possibly by an entire column at a time. Giving acde visible. The rows are both affected by this and should scroll as normal. I can think of three possible means to achieve this: 1) Two tree views side by side One tree view contains the first column. The second tree view contains all other columns The horizontal scroll bar only affects the second view. The vertical scrollbar affects both view. I expect a single model should be fine for both views Does this seem plausible? Can I do this with the vertical scrollbar? 2) Sub-class the TreeView Add the ability to mark columns as fixed. The column must be either the leftmost column or right of a fixed column. Scroll left and right is then handled by re-ordering the columns. e.g. start with columns abcde with column a fixed press scroll right, columns are re-ordered to acdeb This would also achieve scrolling by a whole column at a time. This is probably the most work but might be useful to others. 3) Use GtkTable widgets instead Construct 2 GtkTable widget one for the fixed columns and one for the scrollable columns. This also requires implementing the headers separately as they don't scroll vertically but will scroll horizontally for the second table. This gives me complete control over construction but requires me to implement things I give more cheaply with a tree control. i.e. multiple views, searching, sorting, etc. Whichever option I choose I have a fair bit of work ahead. I'm early enough into the project that I can choose the least painfully route I hope. Any suggestions?
