Hi Neil,

I think your problem steams from the line

dialog._model =3D gtk.ListStore(object)

Which I think should be more like

dialog._model =3D gtk.ListStore(str,str,str)

However this does not give you the dynamic nature you desire.

I don't know the limits of column expansion/contraction you require for =

your problem, .. but I see in your code you want to limit it to 20
(are they always strings?, or all columns the same type?)

I would create a listStore with 20 str as arguments.

I would then create the treeview with as many columns needed for the =

problem at hand

Attached you will see a modified prog that works for me, I limited the =

columns to 7, each time you press the dialog button, a list is =

dynamically generated with a random number of columns.
Assumptions:
the list is always strings.
length of list correlates to number of colomns to view.

Don't know if this has been helpful?
