## Detailed Description

Typedefed as Gtk::TreeView::Selection.

This is a helper object to manage the selection for a Gtk::TreeView widget.

It is automatically created when a new Gtk::TreeView widget is created, and cannot exist independently of this widget. The primary reason this class exists is for cleanliness of code and API. That is, there is no conceptual reason all these methods could not be methods on the Gtk::TreeView widget instead of a separate class.

The Gtk::TreeSelection object can be obtained from a Gtk::TreeView by calling Gtk::TreeView::get_selection(). It can be manipulated to check the selection status of the tree, as well as to select and deselect individual rows. Selection is done completely view-side. As a result, multiple views of the same model can have completely different selections. Additionally, you cannot change the selection of a row on the model that is not currently displayed by the view without expanding its parents first.

When monitoring the selection of a view, it's important to remember that the "changed" signal is mostly a hint. That is, it may only emit one signal when a range of rows is selected. Additionally, it may on occasion emit a "changed" signal when nothing has happened.

## Member Function Documentation

int Gtk::TreeSelection::count_selected_rows | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the number of rows that have been selected in tree .

Returns:
  The number of rows selected.

Since: 2.2.

SelectionMode Gtk::TreeSelection::get_mode | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the selection mode for selection .

See set_mode().

Returns:
  The current selection mode.

Glib::RefPtr<const TreeModel> Gtk::TreeSelection::get_model | ( |  | ) | const

Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel> Gtk::TreeSelection::get_model | ( |  | ) |

Shortcut for get_tree_view()->get_model().

Returns:
  The TreeModel associated with this TreeSelection.

TreeModel::iterator Gtk::TreeSelection::get_selected | ( | Glib::RefPtr<TreeModel>& | model | ) |

Get the currently selected row.

Returns:
  The currently selected row. Or NULL if no rows were selected.

Return values:

  model | The current TreeModel.

Note:
  This method won't work if the selection mode is `Gtk::SELECTION_MULTIPLE`. Use selected_foreach() for multiple selections.

TreeModel::iterator Gtk::TreeSelection::get_selected | ( |  | ) |
