This is deprecated since version 4.10.

Creates a row reference based on @path.

This reference will keep pointing to the node pointed to by @path, so long as it exists. Any changes that occur on @model are propagated, and the path is updated appropriately. If

Parameters

⚠️ Deprecated ⚠️

This is deprecated since version 4.10.

You do not need to use this function.

Creates a row reference based on @path.

This reference will keep pointing to the node pointed to by @path, so long as it exists. If @path isn’t a valid path in @model, then null is returned. However, unlike references created with gtk_tree_row_reference_new(), it does not listen to the model for changes. The creator of the row reference must do this explicitly using gtk_tree_row_reference_inserted(), gtk_tree_row_reference_deleted(), gtk_tree_row_reference_reordered().

These functions must be called exactly once per proxy when the corresponding signal on the model is emitted. This single call updates all row references for that proxy. Since built-in GTK objects like GtkTreeView already use this mechanism internally, using them as the proxy object will produce unpredictable results. Further more, passing the same object as @model and @proxy doesn’t work for reasons of internal implementation.

This type of row reference is primarily meant by structures that need to carefully monitor exactly when a row reference updates itself, and is not generally needed by most applications.
