Description

A GtkTreeView can display both list and tree structures. To display a list, pass a GtkListStore object to the constructor or set_model() . For a tree, use a GtkTreeStore object. Basically any object of a class that implements the GtkTreeModel interface is suitable.

After creating the view and setting the model, you need to create some GtkTreeViewColumns and add them to the view with append_column() . The column widgets themselves need some GtkCellRenderers that actually draw and display the data of the model.

To obtain the selected rows of the view, get the view's GtkTreeSelection object that manages the selection by using get_selection() . If you want to track if it changes, connect its "changed" signal.
