Re: GtkTreeView: how to get the cell with current focus?

[Lars Paulsen <lars_paulsen web de>]

Hi All,

I did some further tests and the addresses returned in focus_column are 
the same as the columns I created with "gtk_tree_view_column_new();". 
Well, it's quite obvious but somehow I expected that there is some API 
function which returns an index for a column. Anyway, I will continue by 
comparing the addresses to find out which column I am in. I need this to 
find out which column "is next". I want to set the focus to the next 
cell/column if the user presses tab.

If anyone knows a better solution to determine the column/next column 
please let me know.

Cheers,
Lars
