Don't despair just yet! It's just that the techniques used
in Gtk's TreeView might not seem obvious at first. Looking
at the parts that matter most for us application developers,
there's a split between:
- the model (the part that holds the data you want to show
on screen as a list or tree) and;
- the view (the part that actually draws the data from the
model on screen).
After working with the various objects involved for some time
(ListStore, TreeView, CellRenderers, etc), you'll soon start
to recognize which object (or widget) belongs to what category.
What do you mean: >>the "columns" (markup, foreground, background)<<
?
Sometimes it helps to think of the "columns" of the model
more like "fields" in a record in some database. If you
do that, model "fields" cannot be confused with
view "columns".
That might make it a bit easier to wrap your head around this.
Let's take an example:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1447187/embed-a-spreadsheet-table-in-a-pygtk-application
May I ask for corresponding, modified set_property() ?
Sure. Look at the attached example. It's a slightly modified
version of the example you've linked to above.
