Signals

Name

Short Description

editing-done

This signal is a sign for the cell renderer to update its value from the cell_editable.

remove-widget

This signal is meant to indicate that the cell is finished editing, and the cell_editable widget is being removed and may subsequently be destroyed.

Fields

None

Class Details

class Gtk.CellEditable
Bases:

GObject.GInterface

Structure:

Gtk.CellEditableIface

Interface for widgets that can be used for editing cells

The GtkCellEditable interface must be implemented for widgets to be usable to edit the contents of a GtkTreeView cell. It provides a way to specify how temporary widgets should be configured for editing, get the new value, etc.

Deprecated since version 4.10: List views use widgets for displaying their contents. See [iface`Gtk`.Editable] for editable text widgets

editing_done()[source]

Emits the GtkCellEditable::editing-done signal.

Deprecated since version 4.10.

remove_widget()[source]

Emits the GtkCellEditable::remove-widget signal.

Deprecated since version 4.10.

start_editing(event)[source]
Parameters:

event (Gdk.Event or None) – The GdkEvent that began the editing process, or None if editing was initiated programmatically

Begins editing on a self.

The GtkCellRenderer for the cell creates and returns a GtkCellEditable from Gtk.CellRenderer.start_editing(), configured for the GtkCellRenderer type.

Gtk.CellEditable.start_editing() can then set up self suitably for editing a cell, e.g. making the Esc key emit GtkCellEditable::editing-done.

Note that the self is created on-demand for the current edit; its lifetime is temporary and does not persist across other edits and/or cells.

do_editing_done() virtual

Emits the GtkCellEditable::editing-done signal.

Deprecated since version 4.10.

do_remove_widget() virtual

Emits the GtkCellEditable::remove-widget signal.

Deprecated since version 4.10.

do_start_editing(event) virtual
Parameters:

event (Gdk.Event or None) – The GdkEvent that began the editing process, or None if editing was initiated programmatically

Begins editing on a cell_editable.

The GtkCellRenderer for the cell creates and returns a GtkCellEditable from Gtk.CellRenderer.start_editing(), configured for the GtkCellRenderer type.

Gtk.CellEditable.start_editing() can then set up cell_editable suitably for editing a cell, e.g. making the Esc key emit GtkCellEditable::editing-done.

Note that the cell_editable is created on-demand for the current edit; its lifetime is temporary and does not persist across other edits and/or cells.

Signal Details

Gtk.CellEditable.signals.editing_done(cell_editable)
Signal Name:

editing-done

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

cell_editable (Gtk.CellEditable) – The object which received the signal

This signal is a sign for the cell renderer to update its value from the cell_editable.

Implementations of GtkCellEditable are responsible for emitting this signal when they are done editing, e.g. GtkEntry emits this signal when the user presses Enter. Typical things to do in a handler for ::editing-done are to capture the edited value, disconnect the cell_editable from signals on the GtkCellRenderer, etc.

Gtk.CellEditable.editing_done() is a convenience method for emitting GtkCellEditable::editing-done.

Gtk.CellEditable.signals.remove_widget(cell_editable)
Signal Name:

remove-widget

Flags:

RUN_LAST

Parameters:

cell_editable (Gtk.CellEditable) – The object which received the signal

This signal is meant to indicate that the cell is finished editing, and the cell_editable widget is being removed and may subsequently be destroyed.

Implementations of GtkCellEditable are responsible for emitting this signal when they are done editing. It must be emitted after the GtkCellEditable::editing-done signal, to give the cell renderer a chance to update the cell’s value before the widget is removed.

Gtk.CellEditable.remove_widget() is a convenience method for emitting GtkCellEditable::remove-widget.

Property Details

Gtk.CellEditable.props.editing_canceled
Name:

editing-canceled

Type:

bool

Default Value:

False

Flags:

READABLE, WRITABLE, EXPLICIT_NOTIFY

Indicates whether editing on the cell has been canceled.
