Add a mode to GtkListItemWidget that activates on
single click and selects on hover. Make
GtkListItemManager set this on its items
when its own 'property' of the same name is set.
The port is kind of evil, in that it stores either a PangoFontFamily or a
PangoFontFace in the list, depending on if the fontchooser is configured
to select fonts or faces.
It also does not cache the font description anymore, so more calls to
pango_font_describe() may happen.
If both of these issues turn out problematic, the fontchooser would need
to resurrect GtkDelayedFontDescription again and put objects of that
type through the model.
These changes depend on Pango 1.46's introduction of listmodels and
various new getters, so the dependency has been upgraded.
This uses a custom GtkColumnViewTitle widget. So far that widget is
pretty boring, but that will change once we added
resizing, reordering, dnd, sorting, hiding/showing of columns or
whatever UIs we want.
The ColumnView now allocates column widths first and then the individual
rows use the new layout manager which looks at the column allocations to
allocate their children.
It's a GtkListItemWidget subclass that tracks the column it belongs to
and allows the column to track it.
We also use this subclass to implement sizing support so columns share
the same size and get resized in sync.
It's private, no APIs, we don't talk about it. But we will start using
it very soon, so we can do size request caching in columns and avoid
sizegroups...
We only create them in root/unroot (they should be created in
appear/disappear, but that vfunc doesn't exist yet), that way we can
avoid expensive work while the widget isn't used for anything.
This way, we can ensure it's always there when we need it (before the
item gets created) and gone when we don't (if some GC language holds on
to the item after we've destroyed the widget).
Instead of 6 vfuncs, we now have 3 and rely on the factory keeping track
of what it needs to do.
We're doing lots of dancing from one object to another here, but this
will hopefully get simpler with further commits.
This splits GtkListItem into 2 parts:
1. GtkListItem
This is purely a GObject with public API for developers who want to
populate lists. There is no chance to cause conflict with GtkWidget
properties that the list implementation assumed control over and
defines a clear boundary.
2. GtkListItemWidget
The widget part of the listitem. This is not only fully in control of
the list machinery, the machinery can also use different widget
implementations for different list widgets like I inted to for
GtkColumnView.
The widget mostly works out of the box, but some tweaking may be
necessary (in particular in the theme) and the gtk-demo changes might
require removing before this is production-ready.
This reverts commit 6a164ab306dad9096bde736c907494c71086d3c4.
The function was awkward and we now have only one caller again, so we
can fold it back into it.
Nothing really changes, because both ListView and GridView still keep
self->item_manager around, but it's set up to point at the base's item
manager.
This way we can slowly move things to GtkListBase that need the item
manager (like trackers).
- Handle anchor as align + top/bottom
This fixes behavior for cells that are higher than the view
- Add gtk_list_view_adjustment_is_flipped()
This should fix RTL handling of horizontal lists
- Fix scrolling
This should make scrolling more reliable, particularly on short lists
that are only a few pages long.
I couldn't come up with a better way to automatically inherit the scope
in the builder list item factory that didn't involve a magic
incantation in the XML file. And I do not want developers to know magic
incantations to do a thing that should pretty much always be done.
This implements all the keybindings from GtkTreeView that can be
supported.
It does not implement expand-all, because supporting that means
causing the TreeListModel to emit lots of create_model vfuncs which in
turn would cause many items-changed signal which in turn would cause
many signal handlers to run which in turn would make "expand-all" very
reentrant, and I'm uneasy about supporting that.
For the mouse, just add a click gesture to the expander icon that toggles
expanded state.
Focus in the listitem now works like this:
1. If any child can take focus, do not ever attempt
to take focus.
2. Otherwise, if this item is selectable or activatable,
allow focusing this widget.
This makes sure every item in a list is focusable for
activation and selection handling, but no useless widgets
get focused and moving focus is as fast as possible.
It's quite a bit faster now, but the code is also a bit more awkward.
Pain points:
- GtkTreeListModel cannot be created in UI files because it needs
a CreateModelFunc.
Using a signal for this doesn't work because autoexpand wants to
expand the model before the signal handler is connected.
- The list item factory usage is still awkward. It's bearable here
because the list items are very simple, but still.
This is a container widget that takes over all the duties of tree
expanding and collapsing.
It has to be a container so it can capture keybindings while focus is
inside the listitem.
So far, this widget does not allow interacting with it, but it shows the
expander arrow in its correct state.
Also, testlistview uses this widget now instead of implementing
expanding itself.
Implement measuring and allocating items - which makes the items appear
when drawing and allows interacting with the items.
However, the gridview still does not allow any user interaction
(including scrolling).
Due to the many different ways to set factories, it makes sense to
expose them as custom objects.
This makes the actual APIs for the list widgets simpler, because they
can just have a regular "factory" property.
As a convenience function, gtk_list_view_new_with_factory() was added
to make this whole approach easy to use from C.
Shift-clicking to extend selections now also works, imitating the
behavior of normal clicking and Windows Explorer (but not treeview):
1. We track the last selected item (normally, not via extend-clicking).
2. When shift-selecting, we modify the range from the last selected item
to this item the same way we modify the regular item when not using
shift:
2a. If Ctrl is not pressed, we select the range and unselect everything
else.
2b. If Ctrl is pressed, we make the range have the same selection state
as the last selected item:
- If the last selected item is selected, select the range.
- If the last selected item is not selected, unselect the range.
Make sure the APIs follow a predictable path:
setup
bind
rebind/update (0-N times)
unbind
teardown
This is the first step towards providing multiple different factories.
... and replace the anchor tracking with a tracker.
Trackers track an item through the list across changes and ensure that
this item (and potentially siblings before/after it) are always backed
by a GtkListItem and that if the item gets removed a replacement gets
chosen.
This is now used for tracking the anchor but can also be used to add
trackers for the cursor later.
Remove a bunch of API from the headers that isn't used anymore and then
refactor code to not call it anymore.
In particular, get rid of GtkListItemManagerChange and replace it with a
GHashTable.
This is implemented by using actions, which are a neat trick to get to
allow the ListItem to call functions on the ListView without actually
needing to be aware of it.
This way, newly displayed rows don't play an unselect animation (text
fading in) when they are unselected, but the row was previously used for
a selected item.
Instead of just destroying all items and then recreating them (or even
hide()ing and then show()ing them again (or even even repositioning
them in the widget tree)), just try to reust them in the order they are.
This works surprisingly well when scrolling and most/all widgets
just moved.
We reorder widgets start to end, so when reusing a list item, we
correctly know the previous sibling for that list item, but not the
next sibling yet. We just know the widget it should ultimately be in
front of.
So we can do a more correct guess of the list item's place in the widget
tree if we think about where to place an item like this.
Actually using this change will come in the next commit.
This is the big one.
The listview only allocates 200 rows around the visible row now.
Everything else is kept in ListRow instances with row->widget == NULL.
For rows without a widget, we assign the median height of the child
widgets as the row's height and then do all calculations as if there
were widgets that had requested that height (like setting adjustment
values or reacting to adjustment value changes).
When the view is scrolled, we bind the 200 rows to the new visible area,
so that the part of the listview that can be seen is always allocated.
The anchor is now a tuple of { listitem, align }.
Using the actual list item allows keeping the anchor across changes
in position (ie when lists get resorted) while still being able to fall
back to positions (list items store their position) when an item gets
removed.
The align value is in the range [0..1] and defines where in the visible
area to do the alignment.
0.0 means to align the top of the row with the top of the visible area,
1.0 aligns the bottom of the widget with the visible area and 0.5 keeps
the center of the widget at the center of the visible area.
It works conceptually the same as percentages in CSS background-position
(where the background area and the background image's size are matched
the same way) or CSS transform-origin.
We now don't let the functions create widgets for the item from the
listmodel, instead we hand out a GtkListItem for them to add a widget
to.
GtkListItems are created in advance and can only be filled in by the
binding code by gtk_container_add()ing a widget.
However, they are GObjects, so they can provide properties that the
binding code can make use of - either via notify signals or GBinding.
Also refactor the whole list item management yet again.
Now, list item APIs doesn't have bind/unbind functions anymore, but only
property setters.
The item factory is the only one doing the binding.
As before, the item manager manages when items need to be bound.
Require that items created with the manager get destroyed via the
manager.
To that purpose, renamed create_list_item() to acquire_list_item() and
add a matching release_list_item() function.
This way, the manager can in the future keep track of all items and
cache information about them.
It's all stubs for now, but here's the basic ideas about what
this object is supposed to do:
(1) It's supposed to be handling all the child GtkWidgets that are
used by the listview, so that the listview can concern
itself with how many items it needs and where to put them.
(2) It's meant to do the caching of widgets that are not (currently)
used.
(3) It's meant to track items that remain in the model across
items-changed emissions and just change position.
(2) It's code that can be shared between listview and potential
other widgets like a GridView.
It's also free to assume that the number of items it's supposed to
manage doesn't grow too much, so it's free to use O(N) algorithms.
