filtering lists

[muppet <scott asofyet org>]

from IRC today:

03:11PM <kck> Hello all... I've got a question about 
Gtk2::Ex::Simle::List (perh
aps this is actually a Gtk2::TreeModel issue though), is it possible to 
have a g
iant list but only show certain rows at any given time without 
repopulating the
{data} array? ie: is there any sort of get/set_visibility() for a row 
of data in
 the list?


sounds like you want a Gtk2::TreeModelFilter -- that's its purpose.  
just this weekend i checked code into HEAD that makes TreeModelFilter 
work correctly, and there will be a 1.062 release soon with this fix in 
it.
