[Gtk-sharp-list] retrieving the values behind a selected row in a treeview

[Jason Boutwell]

----------------------------------

TreeIter iter = new TreeIter();
TreeModel yourModel;
CustomObject yourValueObject = null;

if (yourTreeView.Selection.GetSelected(out yourModel, ref iter)) {
    GLib.Value treeValue = new GLib.Value();
    int invisibleCol = 1;
    yourModel.GetValue(iter, invisibleCol, out treeValue);
    yourValueObject = (CustomObject) treeValue.Val;
}

yourValueObject.getValue();			

-----------------------------------

Works for me.
