columned list

[Neil Zanella]

Hello all,

Please don't tell me about Columned List being deprecated: I know.

What I would like to ask about it is, when I move with the up and down
arrows, a rectangular box moves, but the blue highlighting stays in the
same place (unlike what happens when I click with the mouse). Could
someone please explain to me what the difference between the two is
(that is, why two different kind of boxes), and how can I bind them
together so they both move when I press the keyboard up and
down arrows?

Thanks,

Neil

columned list widget?

[Brian Bruns]

Hi,

I have an application I'm writing where I'd like to have something similar 
to a list widget with one type of item in it (pixmap and label pair), but 
is displayed newspaper column style.  As the widget expands/shrinks the 
items should flow top to bottom of each column and then spill over to the 
top of the next column and so on.

Win32 has something similar to this for their file open dialog (although 
the horizontal scroll when you have more items than displayable is 
incredibly counterintuitive).

Does Gtk have anything of this sort?  I've been looking but have been 
unable to find it.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi

The idea is to "emulate" the mouse behaviour. If you have a large list you
can scroll with the mouse, without selecting an item. Same with the
cursor: you scroll the list (change focus) and then select an item (press
space).

To move the selection with the focus:

gtk_clist_set_selection_mode( clist, GTK_SELECTION_BROWSE );

Now you need to follow the focus row - maybe connect button_press and
check, if clist->focus_row has changed. Then gtk_clist_select_row( clist,
focus_row, 0 );

This is very interesting but something very odd happens when I press
the down arrow
key on a GtkCList which has just been created with text in it and has
no selections:
the first row gets a box, and if I keep moving with the down keyboard
key I end up
with two boxes. This is with GTK 2.4.13. Then when I press space this problem
goes away.

Thanks,

Best Regards,

Neil

columned list, programmatic highlighting, and self-adjusting scrollbars

[Neil Zanella]

Hello,

I have a columned list and would like to know the following:

Suppose I highlight a row from the columned list programmatically. I
would like the
scrollbar to adjust itself so that the highlighted row is the first
one to be displayed.
Is this possible with GTK? How?

Thanks,

Neil
