# Gtk::TreePath Class Reference
[TreeView Classes]

List of all members.

## Detailed Description

A path is essentially a potential node.

It is a location on a model that may or may not actually correspond to a node on a specific model.

A Path can be converted into either an array of unsigned integers or a string. The string form is a list of numbers separated by a colon. Each number refers to the offset at that level. Thus, the path "0" refers to the root node and the path "2:4" refers to the fifth child of the third node.

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeModel::Path.

bool Gtk::TreePath::get_from_selection_data | ( | const SelectionData& | selection_data,
|  | Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>& | model,
|  | TreePath& | path
| ) | `[static]`

Obtains a Gtk::TreeModel and Gtk::TreeModel::Path from selection data of target type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW".

Normally called from a drag_data_received handler. This function can only be used if selection_data originates from the same process that's calling this function, because a pointer to the tree model is being passed around. If you aren't in the same process, then you'll get memory corruption. In the Gtk::TreeDragDest drag_data_received signal handler, you can assume that selection data of type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW" is from the current process.

Parameters:

  | selection_data | a #SelectionData
  | model | a Gtk::TreeModel
  | path | a row in model

Returns:
  true if the selection_data had target type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW" and is otherwise valid

Prepends a new index to a path.

As a result, the depth of the path is increased.

Parameters:

  | index | The index.

bool Gtk::TreePath::prev | ( |  | ) |

Moves the path to point to the previous node at the current depth, if it exists.

Returns:
  `true` if path has a previous node, and the move was made.

As a result, the depth of the path is increased.

Parameters:

|  | const Glib::RefPtr<const TreeModel>& | model
| ) | const

Sets selection data of target type "GTK_TREE_MODEL_ROW".

Normally used in a drag_data_get signal handler.

Parameters:
