Gtk2::TreeView get all childs of a parent,an easy way ?

ultibuzz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
i was wondering if there is an easy way to get all childs from a Parent in a TreeView.
Currently i iterate over everything and use these 2 functions

boolean = $tree_store->is_ancestor ($iter, $descendant)
integer = $tree_store->iter_depth ($iter)

kind regards
Alex

get_children or getChildren is standard fare for trees, gtk2, go figure http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/TreeView.html#treemodel_or_undef_t http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/TreeModel.html#treeiter_tree_model_ So I imagine `if( my $kids = eval { $tree->get_model->iter_children( $parent ) } ){ for my $kid ( @$kids ){ dance($kid); } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

OMG...,thanks a lot i totally forgot about the TreeModel while coding ..., and i was wondering why the heck the TreeView has no Ordinary data functions for it's display hierarchy now i'll use the day to simplify the code with TreeModel functions, and get rid of all my crazy buildarounds :D kind regards Alex	[reply]
