Hi,

I am trying to create a dialog with a gtk.TreeView() with a gtk.ListStore() model. I don't know until run time how many columns will be needed. I have managed to create the TreeView but I haven't worked out how to populate it.

Any help appreciated.

Regards Neil.

Hi Neil,

I think your problem steams from the line

dialog._model = gtk.ListStore(object)

Which I think should be more like

dialog._model = gtk.ListStore(str,str,str)

However this does not give you the dynamic nature you desire.

I don't know the limits of column expansion/contraction you require for your problem, .. but I see in your code you want to limit it to 20
(are they always strings?, or all columns the same type?)

I would create a listStore with 20 str as arguments.

I would then create the treeview with as many columns needed for the problem at hand

Attached you will see a modified prog that works for me, I limited the columns to 7, each time you press the dialog button, a list is dynamically generated with a random number of columns.
Assumptions:
the list is always strings.
length of list correlates to number of colomns to view.

Don't know if this has been helpful?

Steve



Hi Steve,

Thanks, that does do what I want.  :)

After posting I found out that, that line was the trouble, but I couldn't find a decent way of handling the problem. I didn't realise you could specify more types when creating the gtk.ListStore than you had intentions of using.

I think it would be handy to be able to use a list or truple to specify the types as well.

Regards Neil.
