## Description

The GtkCellRenderer is a base class of a set of objects used for rendering a cell to a cairo_t. These objects are used primarily by the GtkTreeView widget, though they aren’t tied to them in any specific way. It is worth noting that GtkCellRenderer is not a GtkWidget and cannot be treated as such.

The primary use of a GtkCellRenderer is for drawing a certain graphical elements on a cairo_t. Typically, one cell renderer is used to draw many cells on the screen. To this extent, it isn’t expected that a CellRenderer keep any permanent state around. Instead, any state is set just prior to use using GObjects property system. Then, the cell is measured using `gtk_cell_renderer_get_size()`. Finally, the cell is rendered in the correct location using `gtk_cell_renderer_render()`.

There are a number of rules that must be followed when writing a new GtkCellRenderer. First and foremost, it’s important that a certain set of properties will always yield a cell renderer of the same size, barring a GtkStyle change. The GtkCellRenderer also has a number of generic properties that are expected to be honored by all children.

Beyond merely rendering a cell, cell renderers can optionally provide active user interface elements. A cell renderer can be “activatable” like GtkCellRendererToggle, which toggles when it gets activated by a mouse click, or it can be “editable” like GtkCellRendererText, which allows the user to edit the text using a GtkEntry. To make a cell renderer activatable or editable, you have to implement the GtkCellRendererClass.activate or GtkCellRendererClass.start_editing virtual functions, respectively.

Many properties of GtkCellRenderer and its subclasses have a corresponding “set” property, e.g. “cell-background-set” corresponds to “cell-background”. These “set” properties reflect whether a property has been set or not. You should not set them independently.

## Functions

### gtk_cell_renderer_class_set_accessible_type ()

    void
    gtk_cell_renderer_class_set_accessible_type
                                   (GtkCellRendererClass *renderer_class,
                                    GType type);

Sets the type to be used for creating accessibles for cells rendered by cell renderers of `renderer_class` . Note that multiple accessibles will be created.

This function should only be called from class init functions of cell renderers.

#### Parameters

renderer_class | class to set the accessible type for |
type | The object type that implements the accessible for `widget_class` . The type must be a subtype of GtkRendererCellAccessible |

### gtk_cell_renderer_get_aligned_area ()

    void
    gtk_cell_renderer_get_aligned_area (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                        GtkWidget *widget,
                                        GtkCellRendererState flags,
                                        const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                                        GdkRectangle *aligned_area);

Gets the aligned area used by `cell` inside `cell_area` . Used for finding the appropriate edit and focus rectangle.

#### Parameters

cell | a GtkCellRenderer instance |
widget | the GtkWidget this cell will be rendering to |
flags | render flags |
cell_area | cell area which would be passed to `gtk_cell_renderer_render()` |
aligned_area | the return location for the space inside `cell_area` that would acually be used to render. | [out]

Since: 3.0

### gtk_cell_renderer_get_size ()

    void
    gtk_cell_renderer_get_size (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                                GtkWidget *widget,
                                const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                                gint *x_offset,
                                gint *y_offset,
                                gint *width,
                                gint *height);

`gtk_cell_renderer_get_size` has been deprecated since version 3.0 and should not be used in newly-written code.

Use `gtk_cell_renderer_get_preferred_size()` instead.

Obtains the width and height needed to render the cell. Used by view widgets to determine the appropriate size for the cell_area passed to `gtk_cell_renderer_render()`. If `cell_area` is not `NULL`, fills in the x and y offsets (if set) of the cell relative to this location.

Please note that the values set in `width` and `height` , as well as those in `x_offset` and `y_offset` are inclusive of the xpad and ypad properties.

#### Parameters

cell | a GtkCellRenderer |
widget | the widget the renderer is rendering to |
cell_area | The area a cell will be allocated, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
x_offset | location to return x offset of cell relative to `cell_area` , or `NULL`. | [out][allow-none]
y_offset | location to return y offset of cell relative to `cell_area` , or `NULL`. | [out][allow-none]
width | location to return width needed to render a cell, or `NULL`. | [out][allow-none]
height | location to return height needed to render a cell, or `NULL`. | [out][allow-none]

### gtk_cell_renderer_render ()

    void
    gtk_cell_renderer_render (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                              cairo_t *cr,
                              GtkWidget *widget,
                              const GdkRectangle *background_area,
                              const GdkRectangle *cell_area,
                              GtkCellRendererState flags);

Invokes the virtual render function of the GtkCellRenderer. The three passed-in rectangles are areas in `cr` . Most renderers will draw within `cell_area` ; the xalign, yalign, xpad, and ypad fields of the GtkCellRenderer 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` .

#### Parameters

cell | a GtkCellRenderer |
cr | a cairo context 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 |
flags | flags that affect rendering |

                                    gboolean canceled);

## Signal Details

### The `“editing-canceled”` signal

    void
    user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets 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: `gtk_cell_renderer_stop_editing()`.

#### Parameters

renderer | the object which received the signal |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run First

Since: 2.4

### The `“editing-started”` signal

    void
    user_function (GtkCellRenderer *renderer,
                   GtkCellEditable *editable,
                   gchar           *path,
                   gpointer         user_data)

This signal gets emitted when a cell starts to be edited. The intended use of this signal is to do special setup on `editable` , e.g. adding a GtkEntryCompletion or setting up additional columns in a GtkComboBox.

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, as in the following example:

    static void
    text_editing_started (GtkCellRenderer *cell,
                          GtkCellEditable *editable,
                          const gchar     *path,
                          gpointer         data)
    {
      if (GTK_IS_ENTRY (editable))

        {
          GtkEntry *entry = GTK_ENTRY (editable);

          // ... create a GtkEntryCompletion

          gtk_entry_set_completion (entry, completion);
        }
    }

#### Parameters

renderer | the object which received the signal |
editable | the GtkCellEditable |
path | the path identifying the edited cell |
user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Run First

Since: 2.6
