Create ListBox-Sorted-StringList-model #1879
Conversation
Modified version of the ListBox-Model example using a StringList that is sorted. The StringSorter object uses a PropertyExpression to specify the sorted parameter. Delete button is functional but l suspect wrong entry is deleted. It is not needed for my use case, but it would be good to have it function correctly. Add button is not functional but might be a nice addition to the example.
Revised so that correct model entry is deleted when delete button is pressed.

That is not enough, you should look at other examples. You need a folder containing a main.rs file, then the folder should be added to the README.md and Cargo.toml; like other examples https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk4-rs/blob/master/examples/Cargo.toml#L163

How do I create a folder? I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with actually doing stuff on github.

I think I have it figured out. I created a codespace where I can make the changes. Thanks for your help.

Do you mind running the code with rustfmt? I will give it a review soonish |

I feel like this adds more complexity and it is not really the best way to achieve that. So I would just keep it for implementing a sort with stringlist

Thanks for your suggestions. I've removed the "add" and "delete" buttons to simplify the example.
| // and only create it once the Ok button in the dialog is clicked, and only | ||
| // then add it to the model. Once added to the model, it will immediately | ||
| // appear in the listbox UI | ||
| let add_button = gtk::Button::with_label("Add"); |

This does nothing, i would also remove it and keep things pretty simple

Much appreciate your review. I've implemented your suggestions, removing the add and delete buttons. Let me know if you have other suggestions. Thanks |
