RE: GtkTreeView focus problem

["Melinda Chin" <melinda cacmedia tv>]

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your advice.
I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately,
it did not give me the result I wanted.

I have 2 windows, Window1 and Window2. 
Window1 is on top of Window2.
Window2 contains a treeview.  
Window1 is smaller is size of window2, where
the treeview in window2 is visible to the user.

What I would like to happen is this.
While window1 is on top of window2, 
keep the selected item in the treeview in window2 highlighted
and selected.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

- Melinda

You can create your own selection function for a TreeView by using a
GtkTreeSelection object.  Check out
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkTreeSelection.html.

Your select function can then return TRUE if you want what the user
clicked on to get selected, or FALSE if you don't - which it sounds like
is what you want.
