One instance of a renderer class is owned by a :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewColumn`. There is a number of ready-to-use renderers provided: - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTextRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewIconTextRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCheckIconTextRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewToggleRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewProgressRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewBitmapRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewDateRenderer`, - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewSpinRenderer`. - :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewChoiceRenderer`. Additionally, the user can write their own renderers by deriving from :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCustomRenderer`. The :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCellMode` and :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCellRenderState` flags accepted by the constructors respectively controls what actions the cell data allows and how the renderer should display its contents in a cell. | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html

The `varianttype` parameter is the main type of `Variant` objects supported by this renderer, i.e. those that can be passed to its :meth:`SetValue` , e.g. "string" for :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTextRenderer`. The value of this parameter is returned by :meth:`GetVariantType` . When deriving a custom renderer, either an existing variant type or a new custom one can be used, see `Variant` documentation for more details. :param `varianttype`: :type `varianttype`: string :param `mode`: :type `mode`: wx.dataview.DataViewCellMode :param `align`: :type `align`: int .. method:: CancelEditing(self) .. method:: CreateEditorCtrl(self, parent, labelRect, value) :param `parent`: :type `parent`: wx.Window :param `labelRect`: :type `labelRect`: wx.Rect :param `value`: :type `value`: DVCVariant :rtype: `Window` .. method:: DisableEllipsize(self) Disable replacing parts of the item text with ellipsis. If ellipsizing is disabled, the string will be truncated if it doesn't fit. This is the same as:: EnableEllipsize(wx.ELLIPSIZE_NONE) .. versionadded:: 2.9.1 .. method:: EnableEllipsize(self, mode=ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE) Enable or disable replacing parts of the item text with ellipsis to make it fit the column width. This method only makes sense for the renderers working with text, such as :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTextRenderer` or :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewIconTextRenderer`. By default ``wx.ELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE`` is used. :param `mode`: Ellipsization mode, use ``wx.ELLIPSIZE_NONE`` to disable. :type `mode`: wx.EllipsizeMode .. versionadded:: 2.9.1 .. method:: FinishEditing(self) :rtype: `bool` .. method:: GetAlignment(self) Returns the alignment. See :meth:`SetAlignment` :rtype: `int` .. method:: GetEditorCtrl(self) :rtype: `Window` .. method:: GetEllipsizeMode(self) Returns the ellipsize mode used by the renderer. If the return value is ``wx.ELLIPSIZE_NONE``, the text is simply truncated if it doesn't fit. :rtype: :ref:`wx.EllipsizeMode` .. seealso:: :meth:`EnableEllipsize` .. method:: GetMode(self) Returns the cell mode. :rtype: :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCellMode` .. method:: GetOwner(self) Returns pointer to the owning :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewColumn`. :rtype: :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewColumn` .. method:: GetValue(self) This methods retrieves the value from the renderer in order to transfer the value back to the data model. Returns ``False`` on failure. :rtype: `value` .. method:: GetValueFromEditorCtrl(self, editor) :param `editor`: :type `editor`: wx.Window :rtype: `value` .. method:: GetVariantType(self) Returns a string with the type of the `Variant` supported by this renderer. Note that a renderer may support more than one variant type, in which case it needs to override :meth:`IsCompatibleVariantType` to return ``True`` for all types it supports. But by default only the type returned by this function is supported. :rtype: `string` .. method:: GetView(self) :rtype: :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl` .. method:: HasEditorCtrl(self) :rtype: `bool` .. method:: IsCompatibleVariantType(self, variantType) Check if the given variant type is compatible with the type expected by this renderer. The base class implementation just compares `variantType` with the value returned by :meth:`GetVariantType` , but this function can be overridden to accept other types that can be converted to the type needed by the renderer. :param `variantType`: :type `variantType`: string :rtype: `bool` .. versionadded:: 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.7 .. method:: SetAlignment(self, align) Sets the alignment of the renderer's content. The default value of ``DVR_DEFAULT_ALIGNMENT`` indicates that the content should have the same alignment as the column header. The method is not implemented under macOS and the renderer always aligns its contents as the column header on that platform. The other platforms support both vertical and horizontal alignment. :param `align`: :type `align`: int .. method:: SetOwner(self, owner) Sets the owning :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewColumn`. This is usually called from within :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewColumn`. :param `owner`: :type `owner`: wx.dataview.DataViewColumn .. method:: SetValue(self, value) Set the value of the renderer (and thus its cell) to `value`. The internal code will then render this cell with this data. :param `value`: A valid, i.e. non-null, value to be shown. :type `value`: :class:`DVCVariant` :rtype: `bool` .. method:: SetValueAdjuster(self, transformer) Set the transformer object to be used to customize values before they are rendered. Can be used to change the value if it is shown on a highlighted row (i.e. in selection) which typically has dark background. It is useful in combination with :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewTextRenderer` with markup and can be used e.g. to remove background color attributes inside selection, as a lightweight alternative to implementing an entire :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCustomRenderer` specialization. `transformer` can be ``None`` to reset any transformer currently being used. Takes ownership of `transformer`. :param `transformer`: :type `transformer`: wx.dataview.DataViewValueAdjuster .. versionadded:: 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.1 .. seealso:: :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewValueAdjuster` .. method:: StartEditing(self, item, labelRect) :param `item`: :type `item`: wx.dataview.DataViewItem :param `labelRect`: :type `labelRect`: wx.Rect :rtype: `bool` .. method:: Validate(self, value) Before data is committed to the data model, it is passed to this method where it can be checked for validity. This can also be used for checking a valid range or limiting the user input in a certain aspect (e.g. max number of characters or only alphanumeric input, ``ASCII`` only etc.). Return ``False`` if the value is not valid. Please note that due to implementation limitations, this validation is done after the editing control already is destroyed and the editing process finished. :param `value`: :type `value`: DVCVariant :rtype: `bool` .. attribute:: Alignment See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetAlignment` and :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.SetAlignment` .. attribute:: EditorCtrl See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetEditorCtrl` .. attribute:: EllipsizeMode See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetEllipsizeMode` .. attribute:: Mode See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetMode` .. attribute:: Owner See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetOwner` and :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.SetOwner` .. attribute:: VariantType See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetVariantType` .. attribute:: View See :meth:`~wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.GetView`
