Typedefed as TreeModel::ColumnRecord. Keeps a record of TreeModelColumns.
ColumnRecord objects are used to setup a new instance of a TreeModel (or rather, a new instance of an implementation of the model, such as Gtk::ListStore or Gtk::TreeStore). It is convenient to do that by deriving from TreeModel::ColumnRecord:
{
public:
MyModelColumns() {
add(filename);
add(description);
add(thumbnail); }
};
void add(TreeModelColumnBase &column)
Whether or not you derive your own ColumnRecord, you need to add the TreeModelColumns to the ColumnRecord with the add() method.
A ColumnRecord instance, such as an instance of MyModelColumns
should then be passed to ListStore::create() or TreeStore::create(). The TreeModelColumns, such as the members filename
, description
and thumbnail
can then be used with Gtk::TreeRow::operator[]() to specify the column you're interested in.
Neither TreeModel::ColumnRecord nor the TreeModelColumns contain any real data – they merely describe what C++ type is stored in which column of a TreeModel, and save you from having to repeat that type information in several places.
Thus TreeModel::ColumnRecord can be made a singleton (as long as you make sure it's instantiated after Gtk::Main), even when creating multiple models from it.
