Editable TreeView Cell problem

[Bob Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

Hello Everyone,

I am using a Gtk::TreeView to present from and allow users to edit data from a data table.  Part of this process involves insertion of new rows into the list store associated with the tree view.

I am trying to do this in such a way whereby the list store cursor ends up positioned to the new row and a desired cell in that row is set to edit mode.

The list store is sorted on the first column, so when a new row is inserted and the set_cursor command is issued, the row is already positioned where it would normally be in the list store.

My problem is this:  the following code works correctly UNLESS the row to be inserted would end up being the FIRST row in the list.  The new row appears in the proper position (first); but,  the CELL being edited for that new row APPEARS to be on the row immediately following the first row.  Here's the strange part:  once editing is completed, then all appears as it should be, i.e. the newly edited data appears in the proper cell in the first row.

<source code>

gboolean TaxTablewin::add_jurisdiction_record(void)
{

	Gtk::TreeModel::iterator iter;
	Gtk::TreeModel::Row row;
	gchar *locbuf;
	const gchar *result_text;
	
	Gtk::Label label;
	label.set_markup("<big> Enter new jurisdiction name: </big>");
	Gtk::Entry entry;
	entry.set_max_length(25);
	entry.set_has_frame();
	entry.set_activates_default(TRUE);
	
	Gtk::Dialog db;
	db.set_title(" New Jurisdiction Record ");
	db.set_has_separator(TRUE);
	db.set_position(Gtk::WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS);			
	db.add_button(Gtk::Stock::OK,Gtk::RESPONSE_OK);
	db.add_button(Gtk::Stock::CANCEL,Gtk::RESPONSE_CANCEL);
	db.set_default_response(Gtk::RESPONSE_OK);
	Gtk::HBox hbox(FALSE,4);
	hbox.set_border_width(CONTAINER_BORDER_WIDTH);
	hbox.pack_start(label,TRUE,FALSE,3);
	hbox.pack_start(entry,TRUE,FALSE,3);
	db.get_vbox()->pack_start(hbox,TRUE,FALSE,3);
	db.show_all_children();
		
	if(db.run() != Gtk::RESPONSE_OK)
		return FALSE;

	db.hide();

	result_text = C_STR(entry.get_text());

	if(!strlen(result_text))
		return FALSE;

	row = *(iter = jurisdiction_list->append());
	row[jurisdiction_columns.m_name_text] = result_text;
	Gtk::TreeModel::Path *path = new Gtk::TreeModel::Path(iter);
	Gtk::TreeView::Column *pColumn = j_tree->get_column(1);
	j_tree->set_cursor(*path,*pColumn,TRUE);
	delete path;
	return TRUE;
}

</source code>

Any ideas as to the error of my way?
