if you are talking about doing this from (for example) a button event
handler then suprisingly enough, you can't. the tutorial on the treeview
mentions this deficiency, which i find hard to believe. i use the
solution of using the set_data() method to store a column index at
construction time and get_data() to fetch it in the event handler. it
seems crude and i think that GTK+ should do better on this one.
