GTK contains several widgets which display data in columns,
|
||||
e.g. the #GtkTreeView.
|
||||
These <glossterm linkend="view-column">view columns</glossterm> in
|
||||
the tree view are represented by #GtkTreeViewColumn
|
||||
objects inside GTK. They should not be confused with
|
||||
<glossterm linkend="model-column">model columns</glossterm> which
|
||||
are used to organize the data in tree models.

other widgets; in that case, the container is the

widgets. Some containers don't draw anything on their own,

but rather just organize their children's <glossterm

linkend="geometry">geometry</glossterm>; for example, #GtkVBox lays out
|

its children vertically without painting anything on its own. Other
|

containers include decorative elements; for example, #GtkFrame contains
|
||||
the frame's child and a label in addition to the shaded frame it draws.
|

The base class for containers is #GtkContainer.

<para>

GDK inherited the concept of display from the X window system,
|
||||
which considers a display to be the combination
|
||||
of a keyboard, a pointing device and one or more
|
||||
<glossterm linkend="screen">screens</glossterm>.
|
||||
Applications open a display to show windows and interact with the user.
|
||||
In GDK, a display is represented by a #GdkDisplay.

<para>
|

Ellipsization is the process of replacing some part
|
||||
of a text by an ellipsis (usually "...") to make the
|
||||
text fit in a smaller space. Pango can ellipsize text
|
||||
at the beginning, at the end or in the middle.

This is the step in a <glossterm

linkend="widget">widget's</glossterm> life cycle where it
|
||||
actually shows the GdkSurfaces it created when it was
|
||||
<glossterm linkend="realization">realized</glossterm>. When a

widget is mapped, it must turn on its

%GTK_MAPPED <link linkend="GtkWidgetFlags">flag</link>.
|

</para>
|
||||
|

<para>
|

Note that due to the asynchronous nature of the X window
|
||||
system, a widget's window may not appear on the screen
|
||||
immediatly after one calls gdk_surface_show():
|
||||
you must wait for the corresponding map <glossterm
|
||||
linkend="event">event</glossterm> to be received. You can do
|
||||
this with the <link
|
||||
linkend="GtkWidget-map-event"><methodname>GtkWidget::map-event</methodname>
|
||||
signal</link>.

<para>
|

A column in a tree model, holding data of a certain type.
|
||||
The types which can be stored in the columns of a model
|

have to be specified when the model is constructed, see

e.g. gtk_list_store_new().

<glossdef>

<para>
|

These widgets follow the well-known model-view pattern, which separates
|
||||
the data (the model) to be displayed from the component which does the
|
||||
actual visualization (the view). Examples of this pattern in GTK are
|
||||
the #GtkTreeView/#GtkTreeModel and #GtkTextView/#GtkTextBuffer
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
One important advantage of this pattern is that it is possible to
|
||||
display the same model in multiple views; another one that the
|
||||
separation of the model allows a great deal of flexibility, as
|
||||
demonstrated by e.g. #GtkTreeModelSort or #GtkTreeModelFilter.

the gtk_widget_get_has_surface() function.

This is the step in a <glossterm
|

linkend="widget">widget's</glossterm> life cycle where it
|
||||
creates its own GdkSurface, or otherwise associates itself with
|
||||
its <glossterm linkend="parent">parent's</glossterm>
|
||||
GdkSurface. If the widget has its own window, then it must
|
||||
also attach a <glossterm linkend="style">style</glossterm> to
|
||||
it. A widget becomes unrealized by destroying its associated
|
||||
GdkSurface. When a widget is realized, it must turn on its
|
||||
%GTK_REALIZED <link linkend="GtkWidgetFlags">flag</link>.
|
||||
</para>
|

|

<para>
|
||||
Widgets that don't own the GdkSurface on which they draw are
|
||||
called <glossterm linkend="no-window">no-window widgets</glossterm>.
|
||||
This can be tested with the gtk_widget_get_has_surface() function. Normally,
|

these widgets draw on their parent's GdkSurface.

</para>
|

|

<para>
|

Note that when a #GtkWidget creates a window in its #GtkWidget::realize
|
||||
handler, it does not actually show the window. That is, the
|
||||
window's structure is just created in memory. The widget
|
||||
actually shows the window when it gets <glossterm
|
||||
linkend="mapping">mapped</glossterm>.
