# Gtk::CellRenderer Class Reference
[TreeView Classes]

Inheritance diagram for Gtk::CellRenderer:

[legend]
List of all members.

## Detailed Description

CellRenderers are used by Gtk::TreeView columns to render the Gtk::TreeModel column data appropriately.

They display, and allow editing of, the values of their properties. In most cases, Gtk::TreeView::append_column() will automatically choose the appropriate renderer for the mode column's data type, so you will rarely need to worry about these classes.

void Gtk::CellRenderer::render | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>& | window,
|  | Widget& | widget,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | background_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | cell_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | expose_area,
|  | CellRendererState | flags
| ) |

  | Invokes the virtual render function of the Gtk::CellRenderer. The three passed-in rectangles are areas of window . Most renderers will draw within cell_area ; the xalign, yalign, xpad, and ypad fields of the Gtk::CellRenderer should be honored with respect to cell_area . background_area includes the blank space around the cell, and also the area containing the tree expander; so the background_area rectangles for all cells tile to cover the entire window . expose_area is a clip rectangle. Parameters:
  | window | A Gdk::Drawable to draw to.
  | widget | The widget owning window .
  | background_area | Entire cell area (including tree expanders and maybe padding on the sides).
  | cell_area | Area normally rendered by a cell renderer.
  | expose_area | Area that actually needs updating.
  | flags | Flags that affect rendering.

virtual void Gtk::CellRenderer::render_vfunc | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drawable>& | window,
|  | Widget& | widget,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | background_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | cell_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | expose_area,
|  | CellRendererState | flags
| ) | `[protected, virtual]`

void Gtk::CellRenderer::set_fixed_size | ( | int | width,
|  | int | height
| ) |

  | Sets the renderer size to be explicit, independent of the properties set. Parameters:
  | width | The width of the cell renderer, or -1.
  | height | The height of the cell renderer, or -1.

Glib::SignalProxy0<void> Gtk::CellRenderer::signal_editing_canceled | ( |  | ) |

| This signal is emitted when the user cancels the process of editing a cell. For example, an editable cell renderer could be written to cancel editing when the user presses Escape. See also: editing_canceled()

Glib::SignalProxy2<void,CellEditable*,const Glib::ustring&> Gtk::CellRenderer::signal_editing_started | ( |  | ) |

  | This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited. The indended use of this signal is to do special setup on editable, e.g. adding an EntryCompletion or setting up additional columns in a ComboBox. Note that GTK+ doesn't guarantee that cell renderers will continue to use the same kind of widget for editing in future releases, therefore you should check the type of editable before doing any specific setup. Since: 2.6 Parameters:
  | editable | the CellEditable.
  | path | the path identifying the edited cell.

CellEditable* Gtk::CellRenderer::start_editing | ( | GdkEvent* | event,
|  | Widget& | widget,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | path,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | background_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | cell_area,
|  | CellRendererState | flags = `CellRendererState(0)`
| ) |

  | Passes an activate event to the cell renderer for possible processing. Parameters:
  | event | A Gdk::Event.
  | widget | Widget that received the event.
  | path | Widget-dependent string representation of the event location; e.g. for Gtk::TreeView, a string representation of Gtk::TreePath.
  | background_area | Background area as passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render .
  | cell_area | Cell area as passed to gtk_cell_renderer_render .
  | flags | Render flags.
Returns: A new Gtk::CellEditable, or `0`.

virtual CellEditable* Gtk::CellRenderer::start_editing_vfunc | ( | GdkEvent* | event,
|  | Widget& | widget,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | path,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | background_area,
|  | const Gdk::Rectangle& | cell_area,
|  | CellRendererState | flags
| ) | `[protected, virtual]`

void Gtk::CellRenderer::stop_editing | ( | bool | canceled = `false` | ) |

  | Informs the cell renderer that the editing is stopped. If canceled is `true`, the cell renderer will emit the "editing-canceled" signal. This function should be called by cell renderer implementations in response to the "editing-done" signal of Gtk::CellEditable. Since: 2.6 Parameters:
  | canceled | `true` if the editing has been canceled.
