_really_ disable GtkTreeView searching

How do I really disable gtk treeview interactive search? The docs say to set_enable_search(False), but if I do this, CTRL+F still causes an annoying search pop-up to appear. Connecting to start-interactive-search and returning True doesn't work either.

Solution

  • The pygtk docs don't state this, but the C docs do:

    gtk_tree_view_set_search_column (GtkTreeView *tree_view, gint column)

column :
    the column of the model to search in, or -1 to disable searching

    Passing -1 for the column really disables searching.
