# Package Gtk.Clist

This widget is deprecated. Use Gtk.Tree_View instead.

This widget displays a multi-column list. Each line is made of a number of column, each being able to display any kind of widget.

The intersection of a line and a column is called a Cell. Each cell can have a different type (Cell_Text, Cell_Pixmap, Cell_Pixtext), and display its contents depending on this type. For instance, the text is not displayed in the type is Cell_Pixmap. Note that this type is changed dynamically by some of the subprograms below, like Set_Pixmap, Set_Text, ... and Set_Cell_Contents

This is one of the most powerful widgets in GtkAda, that can be used to display an kind of information. Look also into using Gtk_Ctree, which is a similar widget.

You can add scrolling in a Gtk_Clist by adding it in a Gtk_Scrolled_Window.

## Widget Hierarchy

    GObject                       (see section Package Glib.Object)
    Gtk_Object                    (see section Package Gtk.Object)
       \___ Gtk_Widget            (see section Package Gtk.Widget)
          \___ Gtk_Container      (see section Package Gtk.Container)
             \___ Gtk_Clist       (see section Package Gtk.Clist)

## Signals

- "abort_column_resize" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Aborts the current interactive resizing of the column by the user. This releases the grab done on the pointer. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda.
- "click_column" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Column : Gint);
  Emitted when the user has clicked on one of the buttons at the top of a column. The first column has number 0.
- "end_selection" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Ends the current selection process. This is never emitted internally by GtkAda, but acts as if the user had just released the mouse button.
- "extend_selection" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type;
  Position : Gfloat;
  Auto_Start_Selection : Boolean);
  Extends the current selection. Position is used only for certain values of Scroll_Type. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda. It has no effect if the selection mode is not Extended.
- "resize_column" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Column : Gint;
  Width : Gint);
  Emitted to request a new size for a given column. You should use Set_Column_Width instead.
- "row_move" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Source_Row : Gint;
  Dest_Row : Gint);
  Emitted to request the change of a Source_Row to Dest_Row. You should use Row_Move instead.
- "scroll_horizontal" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type;
  Position : Gfloat);
  Scrolls the clist horizontally. This also modifies the selection. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda. You should consider using Moveto instead.
- "scroll_vertical" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Scroll_Type : Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Scroll_Type;
  Position : Gfloat);
  Scrolls the clist vertically. This also modifies the selection. It is never emitted internally by GtkAda. You should consider using Moveto instead.
- "select_all" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Emitted to request the selection of all the rows in the Clist, if the selection mode allows. You should use Select_All instead.
- "select_row" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Row : Gint;
  Column : Gint;
  Event : Gdk.Event.Gdk_Event);
  Emitted when a row is selected. Column contains the column number in which the user has clicked, or -1 if the selection was done internally by GtkAda. Event will be null if the selection was not triggered by an event, eg if the row was selected through a call to Select_Row.
- "start_selection" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Request the start of the selection. This signal is not emitted internally by GtkAda, but acts as if the user had clicked on the focus row (the exact visual modification depends on the selection mode).
- "toggle_add_mode" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Changes the add_mode for the clist (indicates whether the next line clicked on will be added to the selection or will replace it). This is never emitted internally by GtkAda.
- "toggle_focus_row" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Emitted to request the change of the selection status (selected/ unselected) of the focus row. This signal is not emitted internally by GtkAda.
- "undo_selection" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Emitted to request the cancellation of the last select/unselect operation. You should use Undo_Selection instead.
- "unselect_all" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class);
  Emitted to request the unselection of all the rows in the Clist, if the selection mode is different from Browse. You should use Unselect_All instead.
- "unselect_row" procedure Handler (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
  Row : Gint;
  Column : Gint;
  Event : Gdk.Event.Gdk_Event);
  Emitted to request the unselection of a row. Event will be null most of the time when the event is emitted directly by GtkAda. You should use Unselect_Row instead.

## Subprograms

### Creating a list and setting the attributes
    procedure Gtk_New
      (Widget             : out    Gtk_Clist;
       Columns            : in     Gint);
| Create a list with Columns columns. Each line will have this exact number of column The number of columns can not be changed once the widget has been created.
    procedure Gtk_New
      (Widget             : out    Gtk_Clist;
       Columns            : in     Gint;
       Titles             : in     Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array);
| Create a new list with Columns columns. The title of the columns is specified in Titles. The results are undefined (and can raise an exception) if Titles does not have at least Columns items.
    function Get_Type              return Gtk.Gtk_Type;
| Return the internal value associated with a Gtk_Clist.
    procedure Set_Hadjustment
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Adjustment         :        Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
| Set the horizontal adjustment used for the clist. Note that such an adjustment is automatically created when the clist is added to a Gtk_Scrolled_Window. You should rather use Gtk.Scrolled_Window.Set_Hadjustment if you want to modify the adjustment. If there was already such an adjustment, it is unref-ed, and might be deleted.
    procedure Set_Vadjustment
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Adjustment         :        Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment);
| Set the vertical adjustment used for the clist. Note that such an adjustment is automatically created when the clist is added to a Gtk_Scrolled_Window. You should rather use Gtk.Scrolled_Window.Set_Hadjustment if you want to modify the adjustment. If there was already such an adjustment, it is unref-ed, and might be deleted.

      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment;
| Return the horizontal adjustment used for the clist. This indicates what position the clist is presently displaying, and by changing its value, the clist is automatically scrolled horizontally. This is done automatically when the clist's parent is a Gtk_Scrolled_Window.

      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Gtk.Adjustment.Gtk_Adjustment;

      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Mode               : in     Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Selection_Mode);
| Modify the selection mode for the clist. This indicates whether one or more lines can be selected at the same time in the clist, and how this selection can done by the user (does he have to click explicitly on an item, or can he browse through the clist and select the last item he was on, etc.) Note that changing the selection mode to Selection_Single or Selection_Browse will deselect all the items in the clist.

      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Selection_Mode;
| Return the selection mode for the clist.
### Visual aspects
    procedure Freeze
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);

    procedure Thaw
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
| Thaw the list, ie reactivate all the visual updates. This also forces an immediate refresh of the list. Note that each Freeze must be followed by a Thaw. The visual updates are not reactivated until the last Thaw has been emitted, but there is an immediate refresh every time anyway.
    procedure Set_Shadow_Type
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       The_Type           : in     Gtk.Enums.Gtk_Shadow_Type);

       Text               : in     Gtkada.Types.Chars_Ptr_Array);
| Add a new row in the clist. The row 0 is the first in the clist. If Row is not in the range for clist, the new row is added at the end. The behavior is undefined if Text does not have enough items.
    procedure Remove
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint);
| Remove a row from the clist (0 is the first one).
    procedure Clear
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);

       return Gtk.Widget.Gtk_Widget;
| Return the child of the button that makes the column's title. Unless you changed it with Set_Column_Widget, this will return a Gtk_Label. Note also that if this widget was not created in Ada, but transparently by gtk+, you have to 'with' Gtk.Type_Conversion so that the correct type of the widget is created (See the user's guide for more information on type conversion).
    procedure Set_Column_Justification
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;

       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint);
| Emit the signal "select_row". This simulates the user pressing the mouse on Row, Column on the clist.
    procedure Unselect_Row
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint);
| Emit the signal "unselect_row", as if the user had clicked on Row, Column on the clist.
    procedure Undo_Selection
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
| Undo the last select/unselect operation.
    procedure Get_Selection_Info

       Column             : out    Gint;
       Is_Valid           : out    Boolean);
| Return the Row/Column corresponding to the coordinates X,Y in the Row column. The coordinates X,Y are relative to the clist window (ie 0,0 is the top left corner of the clist). The result is valid only if Is_Valid is true
    procedure Select_All
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
| Select all the rows in the clist. This only works if the selection mode allows for multiple rows selected at the same time (extended or multiple).
    procedure Unselect_All
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record);
| Deselect all the rows in the clist. If the selection mode is Browse, then only the current line is deselected.
    function Get_Focus_Row
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Gint;
| Return the number of the line that currently has the focus.
    function Get_Row_List
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Row_List.Glist;
| Return the list of all the rows in the clist. This might speed up the access to the rows a little. You can then use the function Set_Cell_Contents to modify the cells in the row, and Get_Text or Get_Pixmap to get its contents.
    function Get_Selection
      (Widget             : access Gtk_Clist_Record)
       return Gtk.Enums.Gint_List.Glist;

       Column             : in     Gint;
       Text               : in     UTF8_String);
| Set the cell's text, replacing its current contents. This changes the type of the cell to Cell_Text. The pixmap (if any) will no longer be displayed.
    function Get_Text

       Column             : in     Gint)
       return UTF8_String;
| Return the text contained in cell. The type of the cell should be either Cell_Text or Cell_Pixtext. If there was a problem, a null-length string is returned. The problem might appear in case the row or the column are invalid, or if the cell does not contain any text.
    function Get_Text
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                :        Gtk_Clist_Row;
       Column             : in     Gint)
       return UTF8_String;
| Return the text contained in cell. The Row can be obtained from Get_Row_List, this function speeds up the access a little compared to the other Get_Text above.
    procedure Set_Pixmap
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;

       Mask               : in     Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
| Set the cell's pixmap, replacing its current contents. The type of the cell becomes Cell_Pixmap, and the text is no longer displayed.
    procedure Get_Pixmap

       Is_Valid           : out    Boolean);
| Return the pixmap contained in a cell. The type of the cell should be Cell_Pixmap. The result is meaningful only if Is_Valid is True. If the Cell did not contain a pixmap, Is_Valid is set to False
    procedure Get_Pixmap
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;

       Is_Valid           : out    Boolean);
| Return the pixmap contained in a cell. Row can be obtained directly with Get_Row_List, and speeds up the access a little compared to the previous Get_Pixmap function.
    procedure Set_Pixtext
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;

       Mask               : in     Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
| Set both the text and the pixmap for the cell. Replace its current contents. The type of the cell becomes Cell_Pixtext, and both the text and the pixmap are displayed.
    procedure Get_Pixtext
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;

       Is_Valid           : out    Boolean);
| The result is not meaningful if Is_Valid is False. The only way to get the string is to use Get_Text, since a String is an unconstrained type in Ada and is not really convenient to use as an out parameter.
    procedure Set_Cell_Style
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint;
       Style              : in     Gtk.Style.Gtk_Style);

       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint)

| Return the style of the cell.
    procedure Set_Shift

       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint;
       Vertical           : in     Gint;
       Horizontal         : in     Gint);
| Set a horizontal and vertical shift for drawing the content of the cell. Both shifts can be either positive or negative. This is particularly useful for indenting items in a columns.
    procedure Set_Cell_Contents
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                :        Gtk_Clist_Row;
       Column             :        Gint;
       Cell_Type          :        Gtk_Cell_Type;

       Mask               :        Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_Bitmap);
| Modify the contents and type of a cell. Cell_Type indicates what should be displayed in the cell. Note that if you do not want any string, you should pass an empty string "". You get Row from Get_Row_List.
### Reordering the list
    procedure Set_Reorderable
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Reorderable        :        Boolean);
| Set whether the list can be dynamically reordered by the user. (using a simple drag-n-drop protocol).
    procedure Set_Use_Drag_Icons
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Use_Icons          :        Boolean);
| Set whether drag icons are shown while the user is reordering the list. The default value is True.
    procedure Set_Button_Actions
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Button             :        Guint;
       Button_Action      :        Gtk_Button_Action);
| Set the action for a specific button on the list. The default if for the left mouse button to select or drag and item, the other buttons are ignored. The Button_Expands action has no effect on a clist.
    procedure Moveto
      (Clist              : access Gtk_Clist_Record;
       Row                : in     Gint;
       Column             : in     Gint;
       Row_Align          : in     Gfloat;
       Col_Align          : in     Gfloat);
| Scroll the list so that Row/Column is visible. If Row is -1, the clist is not scrolled vertically. If Column is -1, the clist is not scrolled horizontally. The new location of Row/Column depends on the value of Row_Align and Col_Align (from 0.0x0.0 (top-left) to 1.0x1.0 (bottom-right), all intermediate values are possible).
### Row_Data
You can associate one private data with each row in the clist. If you want to store multiple values, you should create a record type that contains all the values, and associate with value with the relevant line in the clist. This package is the equivalent of Gtk.Widget.User_Data for the Clists. This is your responsibility to use the Get and Set functions from the same generic package. However, you can use different packages for different lines (although this will definitely make things harder to use!) Note also that an internal copy of the Data is done, therefore the "find" functions found in gtk+ have no equivalent in GtkAda, although it would be enough to write one by iterating over the Row numbers.
    function Get
      (Object             : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
       Row                : in     Gint)
       return Data_Type;
| Get the data associated to a specific row.
    function Get
      (Object             : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
       Row                : in     Gtk_Clist_Row)
       return Data_Type;
| Same as above, but acts directly on a row obtained through Get_Row_List. This is faster for big lists.
    procedure Set
      (Object             : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
       Row                : in     Gint;
       Data               : in     Data_Type);
| Modify the data associated with a row
    procedure Set
      (Object             : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
       Row                : in     Gtk_Clist_Row;
       Data               : in     Data_Type);
| Same as above but acts directly on a row obtained through Get_Row_List. This is faster for big lists.

## Example

     --  The procedure below shows how you can hide all the columns but one
     --  in the clist.
     --  Since Gtk_Clist prevents you to hide the last visible column, the following
     --  code does not work:
     --
     --     --  Hide all the columns
     --     for J in 0 .. Get_Columns (Clist) loop
     --        Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, J, False);
     --     end loop;
     --
     --     --  Show the one you want
     --     Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, New_Column, True);
     --
     --  The following code should be used instead:

     package body Clist is

        procedure Hide_All_But_One (Clist : access Gtk_Clist_Record'Class;
                                    New_Column : Gint)
        is
        begin
           --  Make sure that at least one column is visible
           Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, New_Column, True);

           --  Hide all the other columns.
           for J in 0 .. Get_Columns (Clist) loop
              if J /= New_Column then
                 Set_Column_Visibility (Clist, J, False);
              end if;
           end loop;
        end Hide_All_But_One;

     end Clist;
