phoenix_title wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl

wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl is a control to display data either in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both.

If you only need to display a simple tree structure with an API more like the older wx.TreeCtrl class, then the specialized wx.dataview.DataViewTreeCtrl can be used. Likewise, if you only want to display simple table structure you can use the specialized wx.dataview.DataViewListCtrl class. Both wx.dataview.DataViewTreeCtrl and wx.dataview.DataViewListCtrl can be used without defining your own wx.dataview.DataViewModel.

A wx.dataview.DataViewItem is used to represent a (visible) item in the control.

Unlike wx.ListCtrl, wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl doesn’t get its data from the user through virtual functions or by setting it directly. Instead you need to write your own wx.dataview.DataViewModel and associate it with this control. Then you need to add a number of wx.dataview.DataViewColumn to this control to define what each column shall display. Each wx.dataview.DataViewColumn in turn owns 1 instance of a wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer to render its cells.

A number of standard renderers for rendering text, dates, images, toggle, a progress bar etc. are provided. Additionally, the user can write custom renderers deriving from wx.dataview.DataViewCustomRenderer for displaying anything.

All data transfer from the control to the model and the user code is done through Variant which can be extended to support more data formats as necessary. Accordingly, all type information uses the strings returned from Variant.GetType .

This control supports single column sorting and on some platforms (currently only those using the generic version, i.e. not wxGTK nor wxOSX) also sorting by multiple columns at once. The latter must be explicitly enabled using AllowMultiColumnSort, which will also indicate whether this feature is supported, as it changes the default behaviour of right clicking the column header to add or remove it to the set of columns used for sorting. If this behaviour is not appropriate, you may handle wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK event yourself to prevent it from happening. In this case you would presumably call ToggleSortByColumn from some other event handler to still allow the user to configure sort order somehow.

styles Window Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wx.dataview.DV_SINGLE: Single selection mode. This is the default.

  • wx.dataview.DV_MULTIPLE: Multiple selection mode.

  • wx.dataview.DV_ROW_LINES: Use alternating colours for odd and even rows.

  • wx.dataview.DV_HORIZ_RULES: Display the separator lines between rows.

  • wx.dataview.DV_VERT_RULES: Display the separator lines between columns.

  • wx.dataview.DV_VARIABLE_LINE_HEIGHT: Allow variable line heights. This can be inefficient when displaying large number of items.

  • wx.dataview.DV_NO_HEADER: Do not show column headers (which are shown by default). ^^

^^

events Events Emitted by this Class

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

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_SELECTION_CHANGED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_SELECTION_CHANGED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_ACTIVATED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_ACTIVATED event. This event is triggered by double clicking an item or pressing some special key (usually “Enter”) when it is focused.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_START_EDITING: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_START_EDITING event. This event can be vetoed in order to prevent editing on an item by item basis.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_STARTED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_STARTED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSING: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSING event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDING: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDING event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_VALUE_CHANGED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_VALUE_CHANGED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU event generated when the user right clicks inside the control. Notice that this menu is generated even if the click didn’t occur on any valid item, in this case wx.dataview.DataViewEvent.GetItem simply returns an invalid item.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_CLICK: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_CLICK event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_SORTED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_SORTED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_REORDERED: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_REORDERED event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG event which is generated when the user starts dragging a valid item. This event must be processed and wx.dataview.DataViewEvent.SetDataObject must be called to actually start dragging the item.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE event.

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP: Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP event. ^^

Notice that this control doesn’t allow to process generic mouse events such as

wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN in all ports (notably it doesn’t work in wxGTK). If you need to handle any mouse events not covered by the ones above, consider using a custom renderer for the cells that must handle them.

Note

Under wxMSW this control uses SystemThemedControl for an explorer style appearance by default since wxWidgets 3.1.0. If this is not desired, you can call SystemThemedControl.EnableSystemTheme with false argument to disable this.

Create the control.

Useful for two step creation.

Parameters
Return type

bool



DeleteColumn(self, column)

Deletes given column.

Parameters

column (wx.dataview.DataViewColumn) –

Return type

bool



EditItem(self, item, column)

Programmatically starts editing given cell of item.

Doesn’t do anything if the item or this column is not editable.

Parameters

New in version 2.9.4.



EnableDragSource(self, format)

Enable drag operations using the given format.

Parameters

format (wx.DataFormat) –

Return type

bool



EnableDropTarget(self, format)

Enable drop operations using the given format.

Parameters

format (wx.DataFormat) –

Return type

bool

Note

Since 3.1.6 wx.DF_INVALID can be passed to disable drag and drop support.



EnableDropTargets(self, formats)

Enable drop operations using any of the specified formats.

Currently this is fully implemented in the generic and native macOS versions. In wxGTK only the first element of the array is used.

Parameters

formats (Vector) –

Return type

bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.6.

Note

Passing empty array disables drag and drop operations completely.



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.dataview.DataViewCtrl()

# 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

Parameters

enable (bool) –



EnsureVisible(self, item, column=None)

Parameters


Expand(self, item)

Expands the item.

Parameters

item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem) –



ExpandAncestors(self, item)

int

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.1.



GetCurrentColumn(self)

Returns the column that currently has focus.

New in version 2.9.4.

See also

GetCurrentItem



GetCurrentItem(self)

Returns the currently focused item.

This is the item that the keyboard commands apply to. It may be invalid if there is no focus currently.

This method is mostly useful for the controls with DV_MULTIPLE style as in the case of single selection it returns the same thing as GetSelection .

Notice that under all platforms except macOS the currently focused item may be selected or not but under macOS the current item is always selected.

Return type

wx.dataview.DataViewItem

New in version 2.9.2.

Returns column containing the expanders.

Return type

wx.dataview.DataViewColumn



GetIndent(self)

Returns indentation.

Return type

int

Parameters
Return type

Rect



GetMainWindow(self)

GetSelection(self)

Returns first selected item or an invalid item if none is selected.

This method may be called for both the controls with single and multiple selections but returns an invalid item if more than one item is selected in the latter case, use HasSelection to determine if there are any selected items when using multiple selection.

Return type

wx.dataview.DataViewItem



GetSelections(self)

Returns a list of the currently selected items.

Return type

DataViewItemArray



GetSortingColumn(self)

PrependToggleColumn (self, label, model_column, mode=DATAVIEW_CELL_INERT, width=30, align=ALIGN_CENTER, flags=DATAVIEW_COL_RESIZABLE)

Parameters
Return type

wx.dataview.DataViewColumn





Select(self, item)

Select the given item.

In single selection mode this changes the (unique) currently selected item. In multi selection mode, the item is selected and the previously selected items remain selected.

Parameters

item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem) –



SelectAll(self)

Select all items.



SetAlternateRowColour(self, colour)

Set custom colour for the alternate rows used with wx.dataview.DV_ROW_LINES style.

Note that calling this method has no effect if wx.dataview.DV_ROW_LINES is off.

Parameters

colour (wx.Colour) – The colour to use for the alternate rows.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if customizing this colour is supported (currently only in the generic version), False if this method is not implemented under this platform.

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.1.



SetCurrentItem(self, item)

Changes the currently focused item.

The item parameter must be valid, there is no way to remove the current item from the control.

In single selection mode, calling this method is the same as calling Select and is thus not very useful. In multiple selection mode this method only moves the current item however without changing the selection except under macOS where the current item is always selected, so calling SetCurrentItem selects item if it hadn’t been selected before.

Parameters

item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem) –

New in version 2.9.2.

GetCurrentItem



SetExpanderColumn(self, col)

Set which column shall contain the tree-like expanders.

Parameters

col (wx.dataview.DataViewColumn) –



SetHeaderAttr(self, attr)

Set custom colours and/or font to use for the header.

This method allows customizing the display of the control header (it does nothing if DV_NO_HEADER style is used).

Currently it is only implemented in the generic version and just returns False without doing anything elsewhere.

Parameters

attr (wx.ItemAttr) – The attribute defining the colour(s) and font to use. It can be default, in which case the attributes are reset to their default values.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the attributes were updated, False if the method is not implemented or failed.

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.1.



SetIndent(self, indent)

Sets the indentation.

Parameters

indent (int) –



SetRowHeight(self, rowHeight)

Sets the row height.

This function can only be used when all rows have the same height, i.e. when wx.dataview.DV_VARIABLE_LINE_HEIGHT flag is not used.

Currently this is implemented in the generic and native GTK and macOS (since 3.1.1) versions.

Also notice that this method can only be used to increase the row height compared with the default one (as determined by the return value of DataViewRenderer.GetSize()), if it is set to a too small value then the minimum required by the renderers will be used.

Parameters

rowHeight (int) –

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the line height was changed or False otherwise.

New in version 2.9.2.



SetSelections(self, sel)

Sets the selection to the array of DataViewItems.

Note that if sel contains any invalid items, they are simply ignored.

Parameters

sel (DataViewItemArray) –



ToggleSortByColumn(self, column)

Toggle sorting by the given column.

This method should only be used when sorting by multiple columns is allowed, see AllowMultiColumnSort , and does nothing otherwise.

Parameters

column (int) –

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.0.



Unselect(self, item)

Unselect the given item.

Parameters

item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem) –



UnselectAll(self)

Unselect all item.

This method only has effect if multiple selections are allowed.
