Method Detail

• connect

  public void connect(CellRendererText.Edited handler)

  Hook up a handler to receive "edited" events on this CellRenderer. A typical example of how this is used is as follows:

   final DataColumnString column;
   final TreeView view;
   final ListStore store;
   final TreeViewColumn visibleColumn 
   
   store = new ListStore(new DataColumn[]{
            column = new DataColumnString()
   });
        
   view = new TreeView(store);
   visibleColumn = view.appendColumn();
   CellRendererText renderer = new CellRendererText(visibleColumn);
   renderer.setText(column);
   renderer.setEditable(true);
   renderer.connect(new CellRendererText.Edited(){
        public void onEdited(CellRendererText source, TreePath path, String text) {
            System.out.println("New value for path " + path + " is " + text);
            TreeIter row = store.getIter(path);
            store.setValue(row, column, text);
        }});

• getEllipsizeMode

  public EllipsizeMode getEllipsizeMode()

  Get the current ellipsization used.

  Since:

  4.0.17

• setAlignment

  public void setAlignment(Alignment align)

  Set the Alignment used when multiple lines of text appear within the cell. This is specific to CellRendererText; for the position of any CellRenderer within its enclosing TreeViewColumn, see CellRenderer's setAlignment().

  Since:

  4.0.20

• setEditable

  public void setEditable(boolean editable)

  Indicate if the contents rendered by this CellRenderer should be editable. This affects all rows rendered by this CellRenderer.

  Since:

  4.0.8

• setEditable

  public void setEditable(DataColumnBoolean column)

  Indicate the DataColumn containing the information whether the cell should be editable or not.

  Since:

  4.0.9

• setEllipsize

  public void setEllipsize(EllipsizeMode setting)

  Set the ellipsization mode to use to make the text fits the cell width.

  Since:

  4.0.17

• setForeground

  public void setForeground(DataColumnString column)

  Indicate the DataColumn containing the name of the foreground colour to used when rendering text.

  Since:

  4.0.5

• setMarkup

  public void setMarkup(DataColumnString column)

  Indicate the DataColumn containing Pango markup to render as text.

  The String in the DataColumn being rendered will be interpreted as containing markup in Pango's text markup language. Using this allows you to make very expressive presentations within TreeView cells.

  Using this (instead of setText()) has the same effect as using a Label with setUseMarkup(true) in normal layouts.

  Since:

  4.0.5

• setText

  public void setText(DataColumnString column)

  Indicate the DataColumn containing the plain text to render. This will map the DataColumn that will be used to provide the text to be rendered in the TreeViewColumn this CellRenderer is packed into. This is by far and away the most commonly used mapping in the entire TreeView API.

  If you want to use Pango markup to format the text being rendered, call setMarkup() instead.
