RE: Hidden Columns in Gtk::TreeView

["Huston, Bob" <rhuston mitre org>]

Didn't realize, or remember that it needed a copy constructor. My class
does
not have one, so that was probably the root of my problem. I do have an
assignment
operator overload, so a copy constructor would be trivial. 

thanks for the advice. 

It does work fine with the void *, but also introduces some additional
type casting
that needs to be done in several other places, such as whenever you
want to access
the information stored there!

That shouldn't be necessary. Any type that has a copy constructor can
be
used. And if it doesn't have a copy constructor, you can use it via its
specific pointer type, or via a smartpointer, such as boost's shared
ptr.
