Hey guys,
i have a treeview, and one of the columns is invisible and contains a
reference to the original object that is represented in the other columns for
that row. I'd like to be able to retrieve that reference when the user
clicks on one of the rows.
But i need some help with this because the documentation isn't very helpful
(many methods don't have any explanations yet).
So could anyone tell me how i can retrieve the values that are stored in the
ListStore object that the TreeView is showing?
I'm assuming i need to use the GetSelected method of a TreeSelection object,
and then try to access those values through the TreeIter object that i need
to pass along to the GetSelected method, but i'm a bit confused about how to
retrieve the values from that TreeIter... the documenation lists the
user_data, user_data2 and user_data3 fields, but how do u know which one
corresponds to which column? What if u have more columns? Isn't there a
'cleaner' way of retrieving those values? Or does it work differently from
the way i think it works? If anyone could shed some light on this issue, i'd
very much appreciate it.
thx,
