Creating columns with editable cells in Gtk treeview using Glade - gtk

I am trying to create a simple GUI with table containing x and y coordinates of samples. I use treeview, and I want the cells of the table to be editable by user. Is it possible to specify if the cells should be editable directly in Glade in cellrenderer properties, or do I have to specify it in my code? I use Glade 3.6.1
I have just found out that unticking box "Editable" in the Tree View Editor when editing my treeview, enables me to specify whether the cells shall be editable or not, because if the box is unticked, the cells editable property is no longer connected with the model.
But if I run the program, cells are editable, but the value that I write inside disappears. How can I fix that? Why doesn't the cell store the value I type inside?
Thanks for any hint

For anyone dealing with a similar problem, I have solved it - whenever a cell is edited, appropriate record in the model needs to be changed, example code in Python:
cell.connect("edited", self.text_edited, model, column)
def text_edited( self, w, row, new_text, model, column)
model[row][column] = new_text

I found I had to do something just a little different, but I am also using Ubuntu's Quickly development environment. I did have to go into Glade and uncheck the "Editable" box in my cellrenderer, which then brought up a toggable "Yes/No" button. Then my code looks like:
#psuedo-code function definition
cellcolumn_widget.connect("edited", self.function, list_or_treestore, columnnumber)
#actual code, editing second column so column is passed as 1
self.builder.get_object("cellrenderer_chapter").connect("edited", self.cell_edited, self.builder.get_object("liststore_chapters"),1)
def cell_edited(self, widget, row, new_text, model, column):
model.set_value(model.get_iter(row),column,new_text)

for python GTK, by default, text in Gtk.CellRendererText widgets is not editable, you can change this by setting the value of the “editable” property to True:
renderer = Gtk.CellRendererText();
renderer.set_property("editable", True);
then you can connect to the “edited” signal and update your Gtk.TreeModel and/or database accordingly:
renderer.connect("edited", self.entry_edited);
def entry_edited(self, widget, path, text):
self.listStore[path][number_of_row] = text; # put the number_of_row to be edited

Cursor Movement Cell to Cell Responsive Table

We have a requirement to move the cursor from one editable cell to another automatically in sap.m.table .
I tried all the previously answered blogs but none of the code works.
Has anyone tried similar requirement before ?
Thanks
Tisha
I had this requirement before. I had to automatically focus from input field in column A to the next input field in column C in my sap.m.Table.
How I solved it was like this:
I detected the change of my input A by defining an event handler on the view XML. Then I get by id the input C and use jQuery method to put focus on its HTML inner element.

Visio: Creating Automatic Numbered Label

I'm currently working on creating a new stencil for several components I use in Visio and I'm stuck at the point of providing proper labels. If you use a resistor from Visio stencil it automatically generates a label "R1" (for first resistor) and "Rk" for the kth resistor. How can I do something similar for my own stencil ?
1- I need to generate a label "ABCD #" (# number automatically generated based on instance count)
2- How can I position the location of this field?
PS:
1- Visio components have a custom defined field which allows for this (which I don't know how to create)
2- For capacitor for example the shapesheet shows an interesting entry
=SETF(GetRef(User.Label),"""C""&"&ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount)&SETF(GetRef(ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount),ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount+1)
which supposedly is how the count and name are generated (I'm not sure how the AccumulatorCount is defined it differs from element to element).
Thank You!
The EventDrop ShapeSheet cells for various electrical shapes have formulas similar to the one you have discovered:
SETF(GetRef(User.Label),"""C""&"&ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount)&SETF(GetRef(ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount),ThePage!User.AccumulatorCount+1)
The ShapeSheet for the page has a cell: User.AccumulatorCount for capacitors. Other User cells will be added as other shapes are dropped. You can set up your own system by adding a User cell to the page, say: User.Widget. Then you place the "Widget" version of the "SETF" formula into your own shapes.
You can create user cells by:
Open the ShapeSheet for the Page (right-click blank area of page, Show ShapeSheet)
Right-click in ShapeSheet and choose Add Section
Add a User-defined cells section
Find the User-defined cells section and similarly add rows to it via
right-clicking
You change the row names by typing over the red, row-name text on the left.
You enter values and formulas in the cells as you would in Excel.
You can toggle viewing formulas vs. viewing values by pressing F5
while in the ShapeSheet.
You have to make the User cell in the page first, so that your shape can reference it. Once your shape references the page cell, you can drag your shape into a stencil, and it will "drag the page User cell along too". So now, you can drop your Widget shape into a new document, and it will create the page User cell on the fly.
The system is basic and fragile. The count only goes up, and never down. If you have shapes with 1, 2, 3, 4 and you delete 1 and 2, the next shape will still be 5.

TreeView multiple selection does not work correctly after changing selection without UI

This is potentially a bug, though perhaps I'm misunderstanding something.
Brief description
Basically, I have found that using "Shift+Arrows" to do multiple selection in a Gtk.TreeView does not work correctly after changing the selection using Gtk.TreeSelection.select_iter. On the other hand, if you change the selection by clicking on a row and then pressing "Shift+Arrows", the selection behaves as one would expect.
I should note that if you change the selected row by calling Gtk.TreeSelection.select_iter, the UI updates as you would expect and calling Gtk.TreeSelection.get_selected_rows() returns the rows it should. It's only when you then try to select multiple rows using the arrow keys that you get strange behavior.
This is perhaps best illustrated in this self contained example, which I've tried to make as simple as possible:
Code
import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk
class TreeViewBug(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self)
self.connect('destroy', Gtk.main_quit)
# Create model consisting of row path and a name
self.treeModel = Gtk.ListStore(int, str)
self.treeModel.append([0, 'alice'])
self.treeModel.append([1, 'bob'])
self.treeModel.append([2, 'chad'])
self.treeModel.append([3, 'dan'])
self.treeModel.append([4, 'emma'])
self.treeView = Gtk.TreeView()
self.treeView.append_column(Gtk.TreeViewColumn('path', Gtk.CellRendererText(), text=0))
self.treeView.append_column(Gtk.TreeViewColumn('name', Gtk.CellRendererText(), text=1))
self.treeView.set_model(self.treeModel)
# Allow for multiple selection
self.treeView.get_selection().set_mode(Gtk.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE)
self.add(self.treeView)
def run(self):
self.show_all()
# Focus the TreeView so we can test multiple select via keyboard without clicking on a row
self.treeView.grab_focus()
# Manually change the selected row to the row with "chad"
chadIter = self.treeModel[2].iter
self.treeView.get_selection().select_iter(chadIter)
print('Press "Shift+Down" and see what happens')
print(' it should select "chad, dan", but instead it selects "bob, chad"')
print('Afterwards, try clicking on "chad" and then pressing Shift+Down. It should behave normally')
Gtk.main()
if __name__ == '__main__':
tv = TreeViewBug()
tv.run()
Things I've tried
I initially encountered the bug when my code changed the selected row via Gtk.TreeSelection.select_iter in response to a button click.
I've also tried:
adding a custom select function (Gtk.TreeSelection.set_select_function)
clearing the selection before changing it (Gtk.TreeSelection.unselect_all)
changing the selection asynchronously (GLib.idle_add).
redrawing TreeView after changing selection
Speculations
I'm guessing that TreeView/TreeViewSelection has some internal state variable tracking selection and row that, for some reason, isn't getting properly updated when TreeSelection.select_iter is called. These variables are probably related to UI features, because TreeSelection.get_selected_rows still works properly. Also it makes sense the UI would need additional state information since the UI logic of multiple selection depends on previous UI interaction (Shift+Down behaves differently when extending a selection depending on whether you initially selected upwards or downwards)
Because a Gtk.TreeView uses MVC, you actually need to set the cursor of the treeview. This may affect the rest of the program, depending on what you are doing. Example:
#chadIter = self.treeModel[2].iter
#self.treeView.get_selection().select_iter(chadIter)
path = 2
column = self.treeView.get_column(0)
edit = False
self.treeView.set_cursor(path, column, edit)

Modify an ag-grid row after rendering

I need to slightly modify a ag-grid row after it has been rendered. In ag-grid, the actual HTML elements are not necessarily persistent, so manually-set styles may fall off.
For one thing, I have to modify the selection checkbox to set its tabindex to -1. This can technically be done in the cellRenderer callback, although it looks quite hacky. (The checkbox can be found at params.eGridCell.children[0].children[0].wrappedElement.)
But I also have to add a CSS class to some rows to highlight them based on external criteria. I haven't found a way to do this at all.
The best solution would seem to be using some sort of after-rendering callback, but to my knowledge no such thing exists.
I found a couple of related questions, but they were both resolved via cellStyle, which would not suffice here:
Row formatting in ag-Grid
How to provide a background color for an entire row in ag grid based on a certain value in a column?
You have not 1 but 3 options:
getRowClass(params):
Callback version of property 'rowClass'. Function should return a string or an array of strings.
getRowStyle(params):
Callback version of property 'rowStyle'. Function should return an object of CSS values.
processRowPostCreate(params):
Allows you to process rows after they are created. So do final adding of custom attributes etc.
In this last one you have the row in params.eRow.

Whole row editable on click of a row in GWT editable grid

I need to implement a functionality like onclick of a row, whole row must become editable.
For eg: Currently I have 4 columns, each column have edittext cell as the datatype (element). Onclick of a row, each edittext cells must be in edit mode (input mode). Can this implementation be done??
Currently when we click on each component it opens in input mode, but i need to have input mode for all cells on click of a row.
Please suggest and give some ideas.
I think you could do the job with some things in the "databinding" part of GWT :
