Known Implementations

RbTreeDragSource is implemented by RBDisplayPageModel, RhythmDBPropertyModel and RhythmDBQueryModel.

RbTreeDragDest is implemented by RBDisplayPageModel and RhythmDBQueryModel.

Description

Provides support for drag and drop operations to and from GtkTreeView widgets that can include multiple rows. The model backing the tree view widgets must implement the RbTreeDragSource and RbTreeDragDest interfaces.

Functions

rb_tree_drag_source_row_draggable ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_source_row_draggable (RbTreeDragSource *drag_source,
                                   GList *path_list);

Asks the RbTreeDragSource whether a particular row can be used as the source of a DND operation. If the source doesn't implement this interface, the row is assumed draggable.

Parameters

drag_source

a RbTreeDragSource

 

path_list

row on which user is initiating a drag

 

Returns

TRUE if the row can be dragged


rb_tree_drag_source_drag_data_delete ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_source_drag_data_delete (RbTreeDragSource *drag_source,
                                      GList *path_list);

Asks the RbTreeDragSource to delete the row at path , because it was moved somewhere else via drag-and-drop. Returns FALSE if the deletion fails because path no longer exists, or for some model-specific reason. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!

Parameters

drag_source

a RbTreeDragSource

 

path_list

row that was being dragged

 

Returns

TRUE if the row was successfully deleted


rb_tree_drag_source_drag_data_get ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_source_drag_data_get (RbTreeDragSource *drag_source,
                                   GList *path_list,
                                   GtkSelectionData *selection_data);

Asks the RbTreeDragSource to fill in selection_data with a representation of the row at path . selection_data->target gives the required type of the data. Should robustly handle a path no longer found in the model!

Parameters

drag_source

a RbTreeDragSource

 

path_list

row that was dragged

 

selection_data

a GtkSelectionData to fill with data from the dragged row

 

Returns

TRUE if data of the required type was provided


rb_tree_drag_dest_drag_data_received ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_dest_drag_data_received (RbTreeDragDest *drag_dest,
                                      GtkTreePath *dest,
                                      GtkTreeViewDropPosition pos,
                                      GtkSelectionData *selection_data);

Asks a RbTreeDragDest to accept some drag and drop data.

Parameters

drag_dest

a RbTreeDragDest

 

dest

the GtkTreePath on which the data was dropped

 

pos

the drop position relative to the row identified by dest

 

selection_data

a GtkSelectionData containing the drag data

 

Returns

TRUE if the data was accepted, FALSE otherwise


rb_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_possible ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_possible (RbTreeDragDest *drag_dest,
                                     GtkTreePath *dest_path,
                                     GtkTreeViewDropPosition pos,
                                     GtkSelectionData *selection_data);

Asks the RbTreeDragDest whether data can be dropped on a particular row. This should probably check based on the format and the row.

Parameters

drag_dest

a RbTreeDragDest

 

dest_path

the GtkTreePath on which the data may be dropped

 

pos

the drop position relative to the row identified by dest

 

selection_data

a GtkSelectionData containing the drag data

 

Returns

TRUE if the data can be dropped there


rb_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_position ()

gboolean
rb_tree_drag_dest_row_drop_position (RbTreeDragDest *drag_dest,
                                     GtkTreePath *dest_path,
                                     GList *targets,
                                     GtkTreeViewDropPosition *pos);

Asks the RbTreeDragDest which drop position to use relative to the specified row. The drag destination should decide which drop position to use based on the target row and the list of drag targets.

Parameters

drag_dest

a RbTreeDragDest

 

dest_path

a GtkTreePath describing a possible drop row

 

targets

a GList containing possible drop target types

 

pos

returns the GtkTreeViewDropPosition to use relative to the row

 

Returns

TRUE if a drop position has been set, FALSE if a drop should not be allowed in the specified row


rb_tree_dnd_add_drag_dest_support ()

void
rb_tree_dnd_add_drag_dest_support (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                   RbTreeDestFlag flags,
                                   const GtkTargetEntry *targets,
                                   gint n_targets,
                                   GdkDragAction actions);

Adds event handlers to perform multi-row drag and drop operations to the specified GtkTreeView. The model backing the tree view should implement the RbTreeDragDest interface. This should be called immediately after the tree view is created.

Parameters

tree_view

a GtkTreeView that wants to be a drag destination

 

flags

RbTreeDestFlags for this drag destination

 

targets

an array of GtkTargetEntry structures describing the allowed drag targets

 

n_targets

the number of elements in targets

 

actions

the allowable drag actions for this destination

 

rb_tree_dnd_add_drag_source_support ()

void
rb_tree_dnd_add_drag_source_support (GtkTreeView *tree_view,
                                     GdkModifierType start_button_mask,
                                     const GtkTargetEntry *targets,
                                     gint n_targets,
                                     GdkDragAction actions);

Adds event handlers to perform multi-row drag and drop operations from the specified GtkTreeView widget. The model backing the GtkTreeView must implement the RbTreeDragSource interface. This should be called immediately after the tree view is created.

a GtkTreeView that wants to be a drag source

 

start_button_mask

a mask describing modifier keys to handle when dragging

 

targets

an array of GtkTargetEntry structures describing drag data types
