I'm learning how to use GTKmm and I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to put an image into a treeview. I used Glade to create a treestore with 3 columns, one of which is a GdkPixbuf
called store_pixbuf
. I also created a treeview in glade, with a column that has both a pixbuf cell renderer called int_col_pict
and a char array cell renderer. In my code, I have the usual MyColumns
definition for the treestore like:
class MyModelColumns : public Gtk::TreeModel::ColumnRecord
{
public:
Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring> store_hostname;
Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::ustring> store_intname;
Gtk::TreeModelColumn<Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> > store_pict;
MyModelColumns () { add(store_hostname); add(store_intname); add(store_pict);}
};
and use the following bit of code to populate it.
//Get a pointer to the treestore
Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::TreeStore> treestore = Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::TreeStore>::cast_static(builder->get_object("routerTreeStore"));
//make sure the pointer isn't bad
if(treestore){
MyModelColumns columns;
//populate the first column
Gtk::TreeRow row= *(treestore->append());
row[columns.store_hostname] = router->hostname;
//populate all children
for(int i=0; i<router->interfaces.size(); i++)
{
//append child row
Gtk::TreeRow child = *(treestore->append(row.children()));
//insert data into the row
child[columns.store_pict] = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file("red_dot.png");
child[columns.store_intname] = router->interfaces[i].interfaceName;
}
}//if
I initially tried to use a stock image, but I could not figure out what function I was supposed to use, so then I tried to use Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file()
(as you can see above), but at run time I get the following error:
Gtk-WARNING **: gtktreestore.c:765: Unable to convert from GdkPixbuf to gtkmm__GdkPixbuf
Click here to see what it looks like running. The image is supposed to go on the same line as the "FastEthernet..." lines
Does anyone know how I can solve this? Am I going about it completely wrong? Thanks for looking, every little bit of help is appreciated!
Looks like it's necessary to explicitly set CellRenderer for pixbuf cells. This code snippet displays CANCEL icon on each data row.
For displaying custom images you need to remove two lines setting stock_id add something like this below:
