The demo shows creating ones own listmodel and using it to fill a grid.
I am totally getting the hang of React btw:
500 lines of logic with no UI code and 100 lines of GtkBuilder XML and
I get a sweet UI.
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.
