Hello, after you sort the model, you shall consider that all iter and path previously stored are wrong : A path is a representation of the position of the row in the current case (which you can read by using gtk_tree_path_to_string). https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTreeModel.html#gtk-tree-path-to-string
Iter are quite the same (but link to a particular GtkTreeModel), such as list::iterator of C++ STL : they are pointer to row that you can use to access to data or walk through the models. You can make an iter from a path and a model : GtkTreePath *path;GtkTreeIter iter; GtkTreeModel* model; GtkListStore store = gtk_list_store_new(3, G_TYPE_INT, G_TYPE_STRING,G_TYPE_STRING) model = GTK_TREE_MODEL(store); path = gtk_tree_path_new_from_string <https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTreeModel.html#gtk-tree-path-new-from-string> ("3"); // third rowgtk_tree_model_get_iter <https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTreeModel.html#gtk-tree-model-get-iter> (model, &iter, path); // may be invalid (check return value) If you really want to keep track of a particular row, you have to use GtkTreeRowReference https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkTreeModel.html#GtkTreeRowReference But GTK will have to keep the reference up to date, so each time your model change (inserting, deleting, sorting...) GTK will triggered signal to update your GtkTreeRowReference which may cause an overhead in your application Hope this helps you to understand better the GtkTreeModel paradigm _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
