phoenix_title wx.TreeCtrl

A tree control presents information as a hierarchy, with items that may be expanded to show further items.

Items in a tree control are referenced by wx.TreeItemId handles, which may be tested for validity by calling wx.TreeItemId.IsOk .

A similar control with a fully native implementation for GTK+ and OS X as well is wx.dataview.DataViewTreeCtrl.

To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in wx.TreeEvent.

styles Window Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wx.TR_EDIT_LABELS: Use this style if you wish the user to be able to edit labels in the tree control.
  • wx.TR_NO_BUTTONS: For convenience to document that no buttons are to be drawn.
  • wx.TR_HAS_BUTTONS: Use this style to show + and - buttons to the left of parent items.
  • wx.TR_TWIST_BUTTONS: Selects alternative style of +/ - buttons and shows rotating (“twisting”) arrows instead. Currently this style is only implemented under Microsoft Windows Vista and later Windows versions and is ignored under the other platforms. Notice that under Vista this style results in the same appearance as used by the tree control in Explorer and other built-in programs and so using it may be preferable to the default style.
  • wx.TR_NO_LINES: Use this style to hide vertical level connectors.
  • wx.TR_FULL_ROW_HIGHLIGHT: Use this style to have the background colour and the selection highlight extend over the entire horizontal row of the tree control window. (This flag is ignored under Windows unless you specify TR_NO_LINES as well.)
  • wx.TR_LINES_AT_ROOT: Use this style to show lines between root nodes. Only applicable if TR_HIDE_ROOT is set and TR_NO_LINES is not set.
  • wx.TR_HIDE_ROOT: Use this style to suppress the display of the root node, effectively causing the first-level nodes to appear as a series of root nodes.
  • wx.TR_ROW_LINES: Use this style to draw a contrasting border between displayed rows.
  • wx.TR_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT: Use this style to cause row heights to be just big enough to fit the content. If not set, all rows use the largest row height. The default is that this flag is unset. Generic only.
  • wx.TR_SINGLE: For convenience to document that only one item may be selected at a time. Selecting another item causes the current selection, if any, to be deselected. This is the default.
  • wx.TR_MULTIPLE: Use this style to allow a range of items to be selected. If a second range is selected, the current range, if any, is deselected.
  • wx.TR_DEFAULT_STYLE: The set of flags that are closest to the defaults for the native control for a particular toolkit.

events Events Emitted by this Class

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a wx.TreeEvent parameter.

  • EVT_TREE_BEGIN_DRAG: Begin dragging with the left mouse button. If you want to enable left-dragging you need to intercept this event and explicitly call wx.TreeEvent.Allow , as it’s vetoed by default. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_BEGIN_DRAG event type.
  • EVT_TREE_BEGIN_RDRAG: Begin dragging with the right mouse button. If you want to enable right-dragging you need to intercept this event and explicitly call wx.TreeEvent.Allow , as it’s vetoed by default. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_BEGIN_RDRAG event type.
  • EVT_TREE_END_DRAG: End dragging with the left or right mouse button. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_END_DRAG event type.
  • EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT: Begin editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto(). Processes a wxEVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event type.
  • EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT: Finish editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto(). Processes a wxEVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT event type.
  • EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM: An item was deleted. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM event type.
  • EVT_TREE_GET_INFO: Request information from the application. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_GET_INFO event type.
  • EVT_TREE_SET_INFO: Information is being supplied. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_SET_INFO event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED: The item has been activated, i.e. chosen by double clicking it with mouse or from keyboard. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSED: The item has been collapsed. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSED event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSING: The item is being collapsed. This can be prevented by calling Veto(). Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSING event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDED: The item has been expanded. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDED event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING: The item is being expanded. This can be prevented by calling Veto(). Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK: The user has clicked the item with the right mouse button. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_RIGHT_CLICK event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_MIDDLE_CLICK: The user has clicked the item with the middle mouse button. This is only supported by the generic control. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_MIDDLE_CLICK event type.
  • EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED: Selection has changed. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED event type.
  • EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGING: Selection is changing. This can be prevented by calling Veto(). Processes a wxEVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGING event type.
  • EVT_TREE_KEY_DOWN: A key has been pressed. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_KEY_DOWN event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP: The opportunity to set the item tooltip is being given to the application (call wx.TreeEvent.SetToolTip ). Windows only. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_GETTOOLTIP event type.
  • EVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU: The context menu for the selected item has been requested, either by a right click or by using the menu key. Processes a wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU event type.

Win32 notes:

wx.TreeCtrl class uses the standard common treeview control under Win32 implemented in the system library comctl32.dll. Some versions of this library are known to have bugs with handling the tree control colours: the usual symptom is that the expanded items leave black (or otherwise incorrectly coloured) background behind them, especially for the controls using non-default background colour. The recommended solution is to upgrade the comctl32.dll to a newer version: see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=cb2cf3a2-8025-4e8f-8511-9b476a8d35d2

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –

Create(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=TR_DEFAULT_STYLE, validator=DefaultValidator, name=TreeCtrlNameStr)

Creates the tree control.

See TreeCtrl.__init__ for further details.

Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Delete(self, item)

Deletes the specified item.

A EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM event will be generated.

This function may cause a subsequent call to GetNextChild to fail.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –

DeleteAllItems(self)

Deletes all items in the control.

Note that this may not generate EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM events under some Windows versions although normally such event is generated for each removed item.


DeleteChildren(self, item)

Deletes all children of the given item (but not the item itself).

Note that this will not generate any events unlike Delete method.

If you have called SetItemHasChildren , you may need to call it again since DeleteChildren does not automatically clear the setting.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –

EditLabel(self, item)

Starts editing the label of the given item.

This function generates a EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event which can be vetoed so that no text control will appear for in-place editing.

If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave the text control without changes, a EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT event will be sent which can be vetoed as well.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –
Return type: wx.TextCtrl

See also

EndEditLabel , wx.TreeEvent


EnableBellOnNoMatch(self, on=True)

Enable or disable a beep if there is no match for the currently entered text when searching for the item from keyboard.

Parameters:on (bool) –

New in version 2.9.5.


EndEditLabel(self, item, discardChanges=False)

Ends label editing.

If cancelEdit is True, the edit will be cancelled.

ExpandAllChildren(self, item)

Expands the given item and all its children recursively.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –

GetBoundingRect(self, item, textOnly=False)
Returns the rectangle bounding the item. If textOnly is True, only the rectangle around the item’s label will be returned, otherwise the item’s image is also taken into account. The return value may be None if the rectangle was not successfully retrieved, such as if the item is currently not visible.
Return type:PyObject

GetChildrenCount(self, item, recursively=True)

GetFirstChild(self, item)

Returns the first child; call GetNextChild for the next child.

For this enumeration function you must pass in a ‘cookie’ parameter which is opaque for the application but is necessary for the library to make these functions reentrant (i.e. allow more than one enumeration on one and the same object simultaneously). The cookie passed to GetFirstChild and GetNextChild should be the same variable.

Returns an invalid tree item (i.e. wx.TreeItemId.IsOk returns False) if there are no further children.


GetFirstVisibleItem(self)

Returns the first visible item.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –
Return type: wx.Colour

GetItemData(self, item)

Returns the tree item data associated with the item.


GetItemFont(self, item)

Returns the font of the item label.

If the font hadn’t been explicitly set for the specified item with SetItemFont , returns an invalid wx.NullFont font. GetFont can be used to retrieve the global tree control font used for the items without any specific font.

Parameters:item (wx.TreeItemId) –
Return type: wx.Font

GetItemImage(self, item, which=TreeItemIcon_Normal)

Gets the specified item image.

The value of which may be:

  • wx.TreeItemIcon_Normal : to get the normal item image.
  • wx.TreeItemIcon_Selected : to get the selected item image (i.e. the image which is shown when the item is currently selected).
  • wx.TreeItemIcon_Expanded : to get the expanded image (this only makes sense for items which have children - then this image is shown when the item is expanded and the normal image is shown when it is collapsed).

SetItemData(self, item, data)

Sets the item client data.

Notice that the client data previously associated with the item (if any) is not freed by this function and so calling this function multiple times for the same item will result in memory leaks unless you delete the old item data pointer yourself.


SetItemDropHighlight(self, item, highlight=True)

Gives the item the visual feedback for Drag’n’Drop actions, which is useful if something is dragged from the outside onto the tree control (as opposed to a DnD operation within the tree control, which already is implemented internally).

Parameters:

SetItemFont(self, item, font)

Sets the item’s font.

All items in the tree should have the same height to avoid text clipping, so the fonts height should be the same for all of them, although font attributes may vary.

Parameters:

SetItemBold


SetItemHasChildren(self, item, hasChildren=True)

Sets the specified item’s image.

See GetItemImage for the description of the which parameter.
