error in constructor

[Der Starchaser]

I want to program a class ProjectList, which is derived from class
GtkTreeView. The following code snippet results in an assertion error. Is
anybody able to explain me the error ?


class ProjectList extends GtkTreeView
{

    protected $store;

    /***********************************************************/
    /* Constructor Method
    /***********************************************************/
    function ProjectList()
    {
 
        $this->store = new GtkListStore(
                GObject::TYPE_STRING, GObject::TYPE_STRING
        );

        parent::__construct( $this->store );

                $col = 0;
                $column = $this->get_column(0);
                assert( $column ); // <- this line throws an assertion error
                $cell_renderer = new GtkCellRendererPixbuf();
                $column->pack_start($cell_renderer, false);
               
                $column->set_cell_data_func(
                        $cell_renderer,
                        "prjlist_format_pixbuf",
                        $this->Pixmap
                );

    }

} // of class

I imagine the constructor is called twice, because when you call $toto =
new ProjectList()
ProjectList::__construct() is called and so GtkTreeview::__construct(),
then ProjectList::ProjectList() because it exists.
In my opinion, if you just need to set the model use set_model() instead
of calling the prent constructor.

Hope this helps,
Benjamin.

ugh - if you want to override the constructor that's fine - do it using

public function __construct() {}

PHP 5 uses unified constructors - the "use the same function as the
class name" support is a holdover for BC, please please don't use it in
new code.... as you see it has some seriously odd side effects

see the manual http://php.net/oop5.decon

Thanks,
Elizabeth

That is not correct, if there's a ProjectList::__construct() method that
will be called as the constructor and not ProjectList::ProjectList().
ProjectList::ProjectList() only gets called if there is no
ProjectList::__construct() for backwards compatibility.

Your assertion fails because there are no columns in the view.  See:
http://gtk.php.net/manual/en/gtk.gtktreeview.php

Specifically:

"After creating the view and setting the model, you need to create some
GtkTreeViewColumns and add them to the view with append_column() . The
column widgets themselves need some GtkCellRenderers that actually draw and
display the data of the model."
