Re: Treeview scrolling question

[Danny Van Elsen <danny van elsen skynet be>]

ok, thanks for the answer, I already guessed that my approach wasn't 
the best possible ...

- after looking at the documentation and the pygtk example,
- considering that I will have in memory a <list> that contains a 
number of structures that I want to translate into strings with 
TreeStore like detail,

I guess I just have to derive a TreeModel,  and
- provide for the translation in get_value
- assign the iterator to my list in get_iter?

so that when the Treeview wants to draw itself, it will call my 
functions and thus compose the strings or whatever I want to show? And 
whenever I modify the data in my <list>, the Treeview is updated 
automatically?

greetings, Danny.
