### Interfaces

GtkIconView implements AtkImplementorIface, `GtkBuildable` and `GtkCellLayout`.

### Detailed Description

`GtkIconView` provides an alternative view on a list model. It displays the model as a grid of icons with labels. Like `GtkTreeView`, it allows to select one or multiple items (depending on the selection mode, see `gtkIconViewSetSelectionMode`). In addition to selection with the arrow keys, `GtkIconView` supports rubberband selection, which is controlled by dragging the pointer.

### Structures

`GtkIconView`

  The `GtkIconView` struct contains only private fields and should not be directly accessed.

### Convenient Construction

`gtkIconView` is the result of collapsing the constructors of `GtkIconView` (`gtkIconViewNew`, `gtkIconViewNewWithModel`) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.

### Enums and Flags

`GtkIconViewDropPosition`

  An enum for determining where a dropped item goes.

  `no-drop`

    no drop possible

  `drop-into`

    dropped item replaces the item

  `drop-left`

    droppped item is inserted to the left

  `drop-right`

    dropped item is inserted to the right

  `drop-above`

    dropped item is inserted above

  `drop-below`

    dropped item is inserted below

### User Functions

`GtkIconViewForeachFunc(icon.view, path, data)`

  A function used by `gtkIconViewSelectedForeach` to map all selected rows. It will be called on every selected row in the view.

  `icon.view`

    a `GtkIconView`

  `path`

    The `GtkTreePath` of a selected row

  `data`

    user data

### Signals

`activate-cursor-item(iconview, user.data)`

  A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user activates the currently focused item.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control activation programmatically.

  The default bindings for this signal are Space, Return and Enter.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`item-activated(iconview, path, user.data)`

  The ::item-activated signal is emitted when the method `gtkIconViewItemActivated` is called or the user double clicks an item. It is also emitted when a non-editable item is selected and one of the keys: Space, Return or Enter is pressed.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `path`

    the `GtkTreePath` for the activated item

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`move-cursor(iconview, step, count, user.data)`

  The ::move-cursor signal is a keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user initiates a cursor movement.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control the cursor programmatically.

  The default bindings for this signal include

  All of these will extend the selection when combined with the Shift modifier.

  `iconview`

    the object which received the signal

  `step`

    the granularity of the move, as a `GtkMovementStep`

  `count`

    the number of `step` units to move

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`select-all(iconview, user.data)`

  A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user selects all items.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control selection programmatically.

  The default binding for this signal is Ctrl-a.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`select-cursor-item(iconview, user.data)`

  A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user selects the item that is currently focused.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control selection programmatically.

  There is no default binding for this signal.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`selection-changed(iconview, user.data)`

  The ::selection-changed signal is emitted when the selection (i.e. the set of selected items) changes.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`set-scroll-adjustments(horizontal, vertical, user.data)`

  Set the scroll adjustments for the icon view. Usually scrolled containers like `GtkScrolledWindow` will emit this signal to connect two instances of `GtkScrollbar` to the scroll directions of the `GtkIconView`.

  `horizontal`

    the horizontal `GtkAdjustment`

  `vertical`

    the vertical `GtkAdjustment`

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`toggle-cursor-item(iconview, user.data)`

  A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user toggles whether the currently focused item is selected or not. The exact effect of this depend on the selection mode.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control selection programmatically.

  There is no default binding for this signal is Ctrl-Space.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`unselect-all(iconview, user.data)`

  A keybinding signal which gets emitted when the user unselects all items.

  Applications should not connect to it, but may emit it with `gSignalEmitByName()` if they need to control selection programmatically.

  The default binding for this signal is Ctrl-Shift-a.

  `iconview`

    the object on which the signal is emitted

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

### Properties
