Items in a tree control are referenced by :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` handles, which may be tested for validity by calling :meth:`wx.TreeItemId.IsOk` . A similar control with a fully native implementation for GTK+ and macOS as well is :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTreeCtrl`. |phoenix_title| Images in TreeCtrl ================================== :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl` inherits from :ref:`wx.WithImages` classes providing the functions for associating images with the control items. Each item refers to its image using an index, which can possibly by :meth:`wx.WithImages.NO_IMAGE` to indicate that the item doesn't use any image at all, and the corresponding image is taken either from the vector passed to :meth:`wx.WithImages.SetImages` or from the image list passed to :meth:`wx.WithImages.SetImageList` or :meth:`wx.WithImages.AssignImageList` functions. In addition to normal images, handled with the methods mentioned above, :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl` also provides optional state images that may be used to indicate some additional state of the item, e.g. checked or unchecked status. These images can be set using :meth:`~wx.TreeCtrl.SetStateImageList` and :meth:`~wx.TreeCtrl.AssignStateImageList` functions that behave in the same way as the corresponding methods of :ref:`wx.WithImages`. Finally, in the generic version of this control (wxGenericTreeCtrl), also provides :meth:`~wx.TreeCtrl.SetButtonsImageList` and :meth:`~wx.TreeCtrl.AssignButtonsImageList`, which can be used to change the images used for the control buttons, used to expand or collapse its branches. These methods are not available in the native wxMSW and Qt implementations. |phoenix_title| Events ====================== .. _TreeCtrl-styles: |styles| Window Styles ================================ To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in :ref:`wx.TreeEvent`. ^^ 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 as enabling it is equivalent to using :meth:`SystemThemedControl.EnableSystemTheme` . - ``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 leading to the root nodes (unless no ``TR_NO_LINES`` is also used, in which case no lines are shown). Note that in the MSW version, if this style is omitted, not only the lines, but also the button used for expanding the root item is not shown, which can be unexpected, so it is recommended to always use it. - ``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. ^^ ^^ .. _TreeCtrl-events: |events| Events Emitted by this Class ===================================== Handlers bound for the following event types will receive one of the :ref:`wx.TreeEvent` parameters. - 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 :meth:`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 :meth:`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 :meth:`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. Notice that these events always carry a valid tree item and so are not generated when (right) clicking outside of the items area. If you need to handle such events, consider using ``wxEVT_CONTEXT_MENU`` instead. Processes a ``wxEVT_TREE_ITEM_MENU`` event type. - EVT_TREE_STATE_IMAGE_CLICK: The state image has been clicked. Processes a ``wxEVT_TREE_STATE_IMAGE_CLICK`` event type. ^^ .. seealso:: :ref:`Window Styles `. **Win32** **notes:** :ref:`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 `_ .. seealso:: :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTreeCtrl`, :ref:`wx.TreeEvent`, `TreeItemData` , :ref:`TreeCtrl Overview `, :ref:`wx.ListBox`, :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`, :ref:`wx.WithImages` | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html

` .. method:: AddRoot(self, text, image=-1, selImage=-1, data=None) Adds the root node to the tree, returning the new item. The `image` and `selImage` parameters are an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and selected items, respectively. If `image` > -1 and `selImage` is -1, the same image is used for both selected and unselected items. :param `text`: :type `text`: string :param `image`: :type `image`: int :param `selImage`: :type `selImage`: int :param `data`: :type `data`: TreeItemData :rtype: :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` .. method:: AppendItem(self, parent, text, image=-1, selImage=-1, data=None) Appends an item to the end of the branch identified by `parent`, return a new item id. The `image` and `selImage` parameters are an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and selected items, respectively. If `image` > -1 and `selImage` is -1, the same image is used for both selected and unselected items. :param `parent`: :type `parent`: wx.TreeItemId :param `text`: :type `text`: string :param `image`: :type `image`: int :param `selImage`: :type `selImage`: int :param `data`: :type `data`: TreeItemData :rtype: :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` .. method:: AssignStateImageList(self, imageList) Sets the state image list. Image list assigned with this method will be automatically deleted by :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl` as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list). :param `imageList`: :type `imageList`: wx.ImageList .. seealso:: :meth:`SetStateImageList` . .. method:: ClearFocusedItem(self) Clears the currently focused item. .. versionadded:: 2.9.1 .. method:: Collapse(self, item) Collapses the given item. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: CollapseAll(self) Collapses the root item. .. seealso:: :meth:`ExpandAll` .. method:: CollapseAllChildren(self, item) Collapses this item and all of its children, recursively. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. seealso:: :meth:`ExpandAllChildren` .. method:: CollapseAndReset(self, item) Collapses the given item and removes all children. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: Create(self, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=TR_DEFAULT_STYLE, validator=DefaultValidator, name=TreeCtrlNameStr) Creates the tree control.

A ``EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM`` event will be generated. This function may cause a subsequent call to :meth:`GetNextChild` to fail. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: DeleteAllItems(self) Deletes all items in the control. This function generates ``wxEVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM`` events for each item being deleted, including the root one if it is shown, i.e. unless ``wx.TR_HIDE_ROOT`` style is used. .. method:: DeleteChildren(self, item) Deletes all children of the given item (but not the item itself). A ``wxEVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM`` event will be generated for every item being deleted. If you have called :meth:`SetItemHasChildren` , you may need to call it again since :meth:`DeleteChildren` does not automatically clear the setting. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: 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 to prevent the editing from starting. If it does start, a text control, which can be retrieved using :meth:`GetEditControl` , allowing the user to edit the label interactively is shown. In wxMSW, this text control is created using `textCtrlClass`, however this parameter is currently ignored in the other ports where a plain :ref:`wx.TextCtrl` is always used. When the editing ends, ``EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT`` event is sent and this event can be vetoed as well to prevent the label from changing. Note that this event is sent both when the user accepts (e.g. by pressing Enter) or cancels (e.g. by pressing Escape) and its handler can use :meth:`wx.TreeEvent.IsEditCancelled` to distinguish between these situations. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: :ref:`wx.TextCtrl` .. seealso:: :meth:`EndEditLabel` , :ref:`wx.TreeEvent` .. method:: 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. The default is to not beep in this case except in wxMSW where the beep is always generated by the native control and cannot be disabled, i.e. calls to this function do nothing there. :param `on`: :type `on`: bool .. versionadded:: 2.9.5 .. method:: EnableSystemTheme(self, enable=True) Can be used to disable the system theme of controls using it by default. On Windows there an alternative theme available for the list and list-like controls since Windows Vista. This theme is used by Windows Explorer list and tree view and so is arguably more familiar to the users than the standard appearance of these controls. This class automatically uses the new theme, but if that is not desired then this method can be used to turn it off. Please note that this method should be called before the widget is actually created, using the 2-phase create pattern. Something like this:: # This creates the object, but not the window widget = wx.TreeCtrl() # Disable the system theme widget.EnableSystemTheme(False) # Now create the window widget.Create(parent, wx.``wx.ID_ANY``) This method has no effect on other platorms :param `enable`: :type `enable`: bool .. method:: EndEditLabel(self, item, discardChanges=False) Ends label editing. If `cancelEdit` is ``True``, the edit will be cancelled. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :param `discardChanges`: :type `discardChanges`: bool .. note:: This function is currently supported under Windows only. .. seealso:: :meth:`EditLabel` .. method:: EnsureVisible(self, item) Scrolls and/or expands items to ensure that the given item is visible. This method can be used, and will work, even while the window is frozen (see :meth:`wx.Window.Freeze` ). :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: Expand(self, item) Expands the given item. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: ExpandAll(self) Expands all items in the tree. .. method:: ExpandAllChildren(self, item) Expands the given item and all its children recursively. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId .. method:: 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. :rtype: `PyObject` .. method:: GetChildrenCount(self, item, recursively=True) Returns the number of items in the branch. If `recursively` is ``True``, returns the total number of descendants, otherwise only one level of children is counted. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :param `recursively`: :type `recursively`: bool :rtype: `int` .. staticmethod:: GetClassDefaultAttributes(variant=WINDOW_VARIANT_NORMAL) :param `variant`: :type `variant`: wx.WindowVariant :rtype: :ref:`wx.VisualAttributes` .. method:: GetCount(self) Returns the number of items in the control. :rtype: `int` .. method:: GetEditControl(self) Returns the edit control being currently used to edit a label. Returns ``None`` if no label is being edited. :rtype: :ref:`wx.TextCtrl` .. note:: This is currently only implemented for wxMSW. .. method:: GetFirstChild(self, item) Returns the first child; call :meth:`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 :meth:`GetFirstChild` and :meth:`GetNextChild` should be the same variable. Returns an invalid tree item (i.e. :meth:`wx.TreeItemId.IsOk` returns ``False``) if there are no further children. .. method:: GetFirstVisibleItem(self) Returns the first visible item. :rtype: :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` .. method:: GetFocusedItem(self) Returns the item last clicked or otherwise selected.

If the font hadn't been explicitly set for the specified `item` with :meth:`SetItemFont` , returns an invalid `wx.NullFont` font. :meth:`GetFont` can be used to retrieve the global tree control font used for the items without any specific font. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: :ref:`wx.Font` .. method:: 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). - `wx.TreeItemIcon_SelectedExpanded` : to get the selected expanded image (which is shown when an expanded item is currently selected). :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :param `which`: :type `which`: wx.TreeItemIcon :rtype: `int` .. method:: GetItemParent(self, item) Returns the item's parent. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` .. method:: GetItemState(self, item) Gets the specified item state. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: `int` .. method:: GetItemText(self, item) Returns the item label. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: `string` .. method:: GetItemTextColour(self, item) Returns the colour of the item label. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: :ref:`wx.Colour` .. method:: GetLastChild(self, item) Returns the last child of the item (or an invalid tree item if this item has no children). :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: :ref:`wx.TreeItemId` .. seealso:: :meth:`GetFirstChild` , :meth:`GetNextSibling` , :meth:`GetLastChild` .. method:: GetNextChild(self, item, cookie) Returns the next child; call :meth:`GetFirstChild` for the first 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 :meth:`GetFirstChild` and :meth:`GetNextChild` should be the same. Returns an invalid tree item if there are no further children. .. method:: GetNextSibling(self, item) Returns the next sibling of the specified item; call :meth:`GetPrevSibling` for the previous sibling.

The function should return a negative, zero or positive value if the first item is less than, equal to or greater than the second one. Please note that you **must** use ``RTTI`` macros ``DECLARE_DYNAMIC_CLASS`` and ``IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC_CLASS`` if you override this function because otherwise the base class considers that it is not overridden and uses the default comparison, i.e. sorts the items alphabetically, which allows it optimize away the calls to the virtual function completely. :param `item1`: :type `item1`: wx.TreeItemId :param `item2`: :type `item2`: wx.TreeItemId :rtype: `int` .. seealso:: :meth:`SortChildren` .. method:: PrependItem(self, parent, text, image=-1, selImage=-1, data=None) Appends an item as the first child of `parent`, return a new item id.

This function can be used with multiselection controls only. :param `parent`: :type `parent`: wx.TreeItemId .. versionadded:: 2.9.1 .. method:: SelectItem(self, item, select=True) Selects the given item. In multiple selection controls, can be also used to deselect a currently selected item if the value of `select` is ``False``. Notice that calling this method will generate ``wxEVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGING`` and ``wxEVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED`` events and that the change could be vetoed by the former event handler. :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.TreeItemId :param `select`: :type `select`: bool .. method:: SetFocusedItem(self, item) Sets the currently focused item. :param `item`: The item to make the current one.

Otherwise, it will look at all items. The default is ``False``. :param `quickBestSize`: :type `quickBestSize`: bool .. seealso:: :meth:`GetQuickBestSize` .. method:: SetSpacing(self, spacing) Sets the spacing for the tree control. Spacing is the number of horizontal pixels between the buttons and the state images. This has no effect under wxMSW. :param `spacing`: :type `spacing`: int .. method:: SetStateImageList(self, imageList) Sets the state image list (from which application-defined state images are taken).
