Fills in path and cell with the current cursor path and cell. If the cursor isn't currently set, then *path will be NULL. If no cell currently has focus, then *cell will be NULL.

The returned GtkTreePath must be freed with gtk_tree_path_free().

Since: 0.3.1

exo_icon_view_set_cursor ()

void
exo_icon_view_set_cursor (ExoIconView *icon_view,
                          GtkTreePath *path,

If cell is not NULL, then focus is given to the cell specified by it. Additionally, if start_editing is TRUE, then editing should be started in the specified cell.

exo_icon_view_scroll_to_path ()

void

                              gfloat col_align);

Moves the alignments of icon_view to the position specified by path . row_align determines where the row is placed, and col_align determines where column is placed. Both are expected to be between 0.0 and 1.0. 0.0 means left/top alignment, 1.0 means right/bottom alignment, 0.5 means center.

If use_align is FALSE, then the alignment arguments are ignored, and the tree does the minimum amount of work to scroll the item onto the screen. This means that the item will be scrolled to the edge closest to its current position. If the item is currently visible on the screen, nothing is done.

This function only works if the model is set, and path is a valid row on the model. If the model changes before the tree_view is realized, the centered path will be modified to reflect this change.
