I'm writing a window where users can filter a list of items. They enter a search criteria in a text box, and a TreeView is filled with the items that satisfy their criteria. Items are sorted by their relevance.
In order to do this, I've loaded all the items into a ListStore. The ListStore contains an extra column for relevance value. Then, I've created a function to compute the relevance of an item according to the search criteria ( returns 0 when items does not satisfy the criteria ). Then a TreeModelFilter is connected to the ListStore to filter out items with relevance equal to 0. Then a TreeModelSort is connected over TreeModelFilter to sort the items by relevance. The TreeModelSort is connected to the TreeView. So, when the user modifies the search criteria, I iterate through all items in the ListStore, and write a new value into the relevance column. This works fine for few items ( now, I have less then 200 ). But, for a large number of items, I think that the TreeModelSort will have a problem resorting the items too many times. So, I want to "disable" the TreeModelSort while I'm updating the relevance, and when the update of relevance is finished, "enabling" the TreeModelSort, that will sort the items. Is there a way, or is usefull to do this?
