## I’m still stuck with getting a undefined sort\_column\_id. For a GtkTreeViewColumn irb(main):001:0\> require ‘gtk2’ =\> true irb(main):002:0\> column = Gtk::TreeViewColumn.new =\> #\ irb(main):003:0\> column.sort\_column\_id = 1 NoMethodError: undefined method `sort_column_id=' for # from (irb):3 from /myscratch/ruby/bin/irb:12:in`’ * * * This works on older Ruby, and “the latest greatest” Ruby + Ruby/GTK Just on this one machine I have built the interpreter on that is back to GTK 2.10 For reference, I am using this for my own “file selector” box, as I need to apply my own sort. This Gtk::TreeViewColumn is my file listing. I may not be using the best way to do it. But it seems odd it just fails on this one build. My build base was the latest(as of yesterday) snapshot of Ruby/GTK from Github. ---

Hi, In [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) “[ruby-gnome2-devel-en] Gtk::TreeViewColumn” on Thu, 9 Feb 2012 15:30:47 -0700, grant schoep [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > I’m still stuck with getting a undefined sort\_column\_id. For a > GtkTreeViewColumn Short answer: I’ve commited Gtk::TreeViewColumn#sort\_column\_id= support code on GTK+ 2.10 into master. Long answer: Ruby/GTK+ generates accessors from GObject’s property information automatically. For example, GtkTreeViewColumn (it’s a C level GObject) has the “sort-column-id” property: [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#GtkTreeViewColumn--sort-column-id](http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#GtkTreeViewColumn--sort-column-id) Ruby/GTK+ generates - Gtk::TreeViewColumn#sort\_column\_id - Gtk::TreeViewColumn#sort\_column\_id= - Gtk::TreeViewColumn#set\_sort\_column\_id from the property. The above page says the “sort-column-id” property is defined “Since 2.18”. So you don’t have Gtk::TreeViewColumn#sort\_column\_id= with GTK+ 2.10. I’ve added codes that accesse sort-column-id value by the following functions: - gtk\_tree\_view\_column\_set\_sort\_column\_id() [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#gtk-tree-view-column-set-sort-column-id](http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#gtk-tree-view-column-set-sort-column-id) - gtk\_tree\_view\_column\_get\_sort\_column\_id() [http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#gtk-tree-view-column-get-sort-column-id](http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/GtkTreeViewColumn.html#gtk-tree-view-column-get-sort-column-id) Now you can use Gtk::TreeViewColumn#sort\_column\_id= with GTK+ 2.10. ## Thanks, kou ---

In [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) > Sorry for the long delay on reply. I just back to this. Thanks for the long answer. Explains a lot. I see you did two different commits. The first one allowed me to do thing.set\_sort\_column\_id(1) But the next commit, that added the RG\_DEF\_ALIAS(sort\_column\_id, set\_sort\_column\_id); Gives me the compile error: rbgtktreeviewcolumn.c: In function ‘Init\_gtk\_treeviewcolumn’: rbgtktreeviewcolumn.c:294: error: ‘sort\_column\_id’ undeclared (first use in this function) rbgtktreeviewcolumn.c:294: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once rbgtktreeviewcolumn.c:294: error: for each function it appears in.) rbgtktreeviewcolumn.c:294: error: ‘set\_sort\_column\_id’ undeclared (first use in this function) ---
