class GenericTreeItem(object)

This class holds all the information and methods for every single item in CustomTreeCtrl. This is a generic implementation of TreeItem.


Methods



__init__(self, parent, text="", ct_type=0, wnd=None, image=-1, selImage=-1, data=None, separator=False)

Default class constructor. For internal use: do not call it in your code!

Parameters:
  • parent – the tree item parent, an instance of GenericTreeItem (may be None for root items);
  • text (string) – the tree item text;
  • ct_type (integer) – the tree item kind. May be one of the following integers:
    ct_type Value Description
    0 A normal item
    1 A checkbox-like item
    2 A radiobutton-type item
  • wnd – if not None, a non-toplevel window to be displayed next to the item, an instance of wx.Window;
  • image (integer) – an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for the item in unselected state;
  • selImage (integer) – an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for the item in selected state; if image > -1 and selImage is -1, the same image is used for both selected and unselected items;
  • data (object) – associate the given Python object data with the item;
  • separator (bool) – True if the item is a separator, False otherwise.

Note

Regarding radiobutton-type items (with ct_type = 2), the following approach is used:

  • All peer-nodes that are radiobuttons will be mutually exclusive. In other words, only one of a set of radiobuttons that share a common parent can be checked at once. If a radiobutton node becomes checked, then all of its peer radiobuttons must be unchecked.
  • If a radiobutton node becomes unchecked, then all of its child nodes will become inactive.

Note

Separator items should not have children, labels, data or an associated window. Other issues/features associated to separator items:

  • You can change the color of individual separators by using CustomTreeCtrl.SetItemTextColour(), or you can use CustomTreeCtrl.SetSeparatorColour() to change the color of all separators. The default separator colour is that returned by SystemSettings.GetColour(wx.SYS_COLOUR_GRAYTEXT);
  • Separators can be selected just like any other tree item;
  • Separators cannot have text;
  • Separators cannot have children;
  • Separators cannot be edited via the EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event.
