Detailed Description

A Gtk::TreeModel::iterator is a reference to a specific node on a specific model.

It is a generic structure with an integer and three generic pointers. These are filled in by the model in a model-specific way.

One can convert a path to an iterator by calling Gtk::TreeModel::get_iter().

These iterators are the primary way of accessing a model and are similar to the iterators used by Gtk::TextBuffer. The model interface defines a set of operations using them for navigating the model.

The lifecycle of an iterator can be a little confusing at first. Iterators are expected to always be valid for as long as the model is unchanged (and doesn't emit a signal). Additionally, some models guarantee that an iterator is valid for as long as the node it refers to is valid (most notably the Gtk::TreeStore and Gtk::ListStore).

Although generally uninteresting, as one always has to allow for the case where iterators do not persist beyond a signal, some very important performance enhancements were made in the sort model. As a result, the Gtk::TREE_MODEL_ITERS_PERSIST flag was added to indicate this behaviour - see Gtk::TreeModel::get_flags().

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeModel::iterator. The Gtk::TreeModel iterator.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TreeIter()

Gtk::TreeIter::TreeIter ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ equal()

bool Gtk::TreeIter::equal ( const TreeIter other) const

◆ get_stamp()

int Gtk::TreeIter::get_stamp ( ) const

This is only useful when implementing a custom Gtk::TreeModel class. Compare the iterator's stamp with your model's stamp to discover whether it is valid.

See also
set_stamp().
Returns
The iterator's stamp.

◆ operator bool()

Gtk::TreeIter::operator bool ( ) const

Discover whether the iterator is valid, and not equal to end().

◆ operator*()

reference Gtk::TreeIter::operator* ( ) const
inline

◆ operator++() [1/2]

TreeIter& Gtk::TreeIter::operator++ ( )

◆ operator++() [2/2]

const TreeIter Gtk::TreeIter::operator++ ( int  )

◆ operator--() [1/2]

TreeIter& Gtk::TreeIter::operator-- ( )

Please note that this is very slow compared to operator++().

◆ operator--() [2/2]

const TreeIter Gtk::TreeIter::operator-- ( int  )

Please note that this is very slow compared to operator++().

◆ operator->()

pointer Gtk::TreeIter::operator-> ( ) const
inline

◆ set_stamp()

void Gtk::TreeIter::set_stamp ( int  stamp)

This is only useful when implementing a custom Gtk::TreeModel class. Set the stamp to be equal to your model's stamp, to mark the iterator as valid. When your model's structure changes, you should increment your model's stamp to mark all older iterators as invalid. They will be recognised as invalid because they will then have an incorrect stamp.
