Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeSortable

TreeSortable is an interface to be implemented by tree models which support sorting. The TreeView uses the methods provided by this interface to sort the model. As of now, only the Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeModelSort.TreeModelSort proxy supports the sortable interface. Thus, in order to enable sortable columns in a TreeView, it is necessary to wrap a Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.ListStore.ListStore or Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeStore.TreeStore model in a Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeModelSort.TreeModelSort.

A Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeViewColumn can be sorted by the user though clicking into the column's header. The rows in the view will then be sorted by the sorting function set for that column. Specifically, a set of sorting functions must be set using the interface provided in this module. Each sorting function is associated with a SortColumnId, which is some positive number. A tree view column is then associated with the sorting function by passing the SortColumnId to Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeViewColumn.treeViewColumnSetSortColumnId. There exists one special SortColumnId, namely treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId for which a default sorting function can be set. If no such function is set, the order of the rows is the order in which they are stored in the model.

type SortColumnId = Int

ID number of a sort column.

A SortColumnId is a logical number to which a sorting function can be associated. The number does not have to coincide with any column number.

Constants

treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId :: SortColumnId

A special SortColumnId to indicated that the default sorting function is used.

Methods

treeSortableGetSortColumnId

:: TreeSortableClass self
=> self
-> IO (SortType, Bool, SortColumnId)	`(type, columnSet, sortColumnId)` returns `True` in `columnSet` if `sortColumnId` is not `treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId`. The `type` value indicates increasing or decreasing ordering.
Query the sort column id that is currently in use. The return value may be the special constant `treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId` in which case the returned Boolean flag is `False`.

treeSortableSetSortColumnId

:: TreeSortableClass self
=> self
-> SortColumnId	`sortColumnId` - the sort column id to set
-> SortType	`order` - The sort order of the column
-> IO ()
Sets the current sort column to be `sortColumnId`. The `sortable` will resort itself to reflect this change, after emitting a `sortColumnChanged` signal. If `sortColumnId` is `treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId`, then the default sort function will be used, if it is set. Note that this function is mainly used by the view and that the user program should simply set the `SortColumnId` of the `TreeViewColumn`s.

treeSortableSetSortFunc

:: TreeSortableClass self
=> self
-> SortColumnId	`sortColumnId` - the sort column id to set the function for
-> TreeIter -> TreeIter -> IO Ordering	`sortFunc` - The comparison function
-> IO ()
Sets the comparison function used when sorting to be `sortFunc`. If the current sort column id of `self` is the same as `sortColumnId`, then the model will sort using this function.

treeSortableSetDefaultSortFunc

:: TreeSortableClass self
=> self
-> TreeIter -> TreeIter -> IO Ordering	`sortFunc` - The comparison function
-> IO ()
Sets the default comparison function used when sorting to be `sortFunc`. If the current sort column id of `self` is `treeSortableDefaultSortColumnId` then the model will sort using this function.

treeSortableHasDefaultSortFunc

:: TreeSortableClass self
=> self
-> IO Bool	returns `True`, if the model has a default sort function
Returns `True` if the model has a default sort function. This is used primarily by Graphics.UI.Gtk.ModelView.TreeViewColumns in order to determine if a model has a default ordering or if the entries are retrieved in the sequence in which they are stored in the model.

treeSortableSortColumnChanged :: TreeSortableClass self => self -> IO ()

Emits a sortColumnChanged signal on the model.

Signals

sortColumnChanged :: TreeSortableClass self => Signal self (IO ())
