Hello.

You can insert custom widget inside column header using gtk_tree_view_column_set_widget() function call.

I think you can, same procedure to add types in your list store, use G_TYPE_OBJECT.
Don't ask me for the code..I'm just giving you the pointers :P

Hello.

First, do not post the same question across many posts. Use this thread or create new thread.

Now, tree view cannot hold widgets. Entire contents is drawn using cell renderers and you're limited to the types provided by GTK+ for the moment. You can write your own cell renderer, but be aware that because cell renderer only has limited functionality compared to widgets, you'll not be able to achieve the same level of interactivity (no prelight, no events, ...).

Hello.

You haven't read my reply well enough. I clearly stated that you cannot insert widgets inside tree view. You can write custom cell render that will imitate certain widget, but widget insertion is not possible.
