SingleSelection

class SingleSelection(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Object

Implemented Interfaces: ListModel, SectionModel, SelectionModel

GtkSingleSelection is a GtkSelectionModel that allows selecting a single item.

Note that the selection is persistent – if the selected item is removed and re-added in the same items_changed emission, it stays selected. In particular, this means that changing the sort order of an underlying sort model will preserve the selection.

Constructors

class SingleSelection

classmethod new(model: ListModel | None = None) → SingleSelection

Creates a new selection to handle model.

Parameters:

model – the GListModel to manage

Methods

class SingleSelection

get_autoselect() → bool

Checks if autoselect has been enabled or disabled via set_autoselect().

get_can_unselect() → bool

If True, unselect_item() is supported and allows unselecting the selected item.

get_model() → ListModel | None

Gets the model that self is wrapping.

get_selected() → int

Gets the position of the selected item.

If no item is selected, INVALID_LIST_POSITION is returned.

get_selected_item() → Object | None

Gets the selected item.

If no item is selected, None is returned.

set_autoselect(autoselect: bool) → None

Enables or disables autoselect.

If autoselect is True, self will enforce that an item is always selected. It will select a new item when the currently selected item is deleted and it will disallow unselecting the current item.

Parameters:

autoselect – True to always select an item

set_can_unselect(can_unselect: bool) → None

If True, unselecting the current item via unselect_item() is supported.

Note that setting autoselect will cause unselecting to not work, so it practically makes no sense to set both at the same time.

Parameters:

can_unselect – True to allow unselecting

set_model(model: ListModel | None = None) → None

Sets the model that self should wrap.

If model is None, self will be empty.

Parameters:

model – A GListModel to wrap

set_selected(position: int) → None

Selects the item at the given position.

If the list does not have an item at position or INVALID_LIST_POSITION is given, the behavior depends on the value of the autoselect property: If it is set, no change will occur and the old item will stay selected. If it is unset, the selection will be unset and no item will be selected. This also applies if can_unselect is set to False.

Parameters:

position – the item to select or INVALID_LIST_POSITION
