Hi everybody,
I need to implement something like the grid shown in this picture: http://www.threatofchaos.com/imagenes/hsl2.PNG. However, I don't know where to start: I would like to find a widget with this functionality, but I don't mind using a more complex way. My idea was if I could set a widgets as "child" of a tree item in a GtkTreeView.

Thanks in advance

Interesting widget.... it will be pleasure to work on it.
Are you interested to work on this in a team?
I mean to work with me... I am interested to work on this if it will be open source widget.. So, if you would like to make such a widget open source I can help and share my time.
But definitely the idea with the GtkTreeView is good.

What it looks like you are trying to do is embed a GtkTreeView widget as the child of a GtkTreeView row. While this can be done, the problem I see is that GtkTreeView requires that all columns be the same regardless of the position of the row within the model.

However, this can be done with existing widgets. I recommend you check out the GtkExpander container. It's going to require a lot of hacking, but this can be done.
