I'm having performance problems when inserting many rows into a GTK treeview (using PyGTK) - or when modifying many rows. The problem is that the model seems to get resorted after each change (insert/modification). This causes the GUI to hang for multiple seconds. Leaving the model unsorted by commenting out model.set_sort_column_id(SOME...

How do I really disable gtk treeview interactive search? The docs say to set_enable_search(False), but if I do this, CTRL+F still causes an annoying search pop-up to appear. Connecting to start-interactive-search and returning True doesn't work either. ...

I've boiled it down to a really minimal example: import pygtk pygtk.require('2.0') import glib import gtk import threading import sys import time def idle(...

But how do I tell a string that is bu...
With PyGTK running on Windows, I want to have a new window pop up near a parent window, but never off-screen. I observed the behavior I want in Microsoft Wordpad in both Windows 7 and Windows XP. If you make the window very small and move it to the bottom right of the desktop, right click in the text field, and open the Paragraph menu,...
Hi, I'm developing a GTK app, and would like to print some messages over existing widgets rather than displaying them in the status bar, kind of like the way Mendeley does it when no document is selected: (as opposed to what is displayed in the right pane when you select a document:) Should I dynamically create a panel, label, ......
Hi everybody. I am working on a gtk+ application written in python. I obviously use pygtk. My application is about collections of videos. It's a kind of F-spo or picasa, but for video. As you can see in these two apps, you have a central area where you can see all of your photos with tag thumbnails under. In my app, I want to implemen...

When I have a gtk.CellRendererText, I can associate its foreground color with one of the tree store's columns, and set the foreground-set attribute to True, to change the color of the text in that column. However, when the row with the colored column is selected, its color disappears, and is the same as any selected cell's color. How do ...

Hello, I'm trying to retrieve the row data from a treemodel when the row_activated callback is fired. When row_activated is called, the 'path' variable it passes is a tuple. How do I easily use this tuple to retrieve an iter and ultimately the data itself? The treemodel class has a function to convert a string into an iter, but it seems...
