wx.grid.Grid¶

wx.grid.Grid and its related classes are used for displaying and editing tabular data.

They provide a rich set of features for display, editing, and interacting with a variety of data sources. For simple applications, and to help you get started, wx.grid.Grid is the only class you need to refer to directly. It will set up default instances of the other classes and manage them for you. For more complex applications you can derive your own classes for custom grid views, grid data tables, cell editors and renderers. The Grid Overview has examples of simple and more complex applications, explains the relationship between the various grid classes and has a summary of the keyboard shortcuts and mouse functions provided by wx.grid.Grid.

A wx.grid.GridTableBase class holds the actual data to be displayed by a wx.grid.Grid class. One or more wx.grid.Grid classes may act as a view for one table class. The default table class is called wx.grid.GridStringTable and holds an array of strings. An instance of such a class is created by CreateGrid.

wx.grid.GridCellRenderer is the abstract base class for rendering contents in a cell. The following renderers are predefined:

The look of a cell can be further defined using wx.grid.GridCellAttr. An object of this type may be returned by wx.grid.GridTableBase.GetAttr .

wx.grid.GridCellEditor is the abstract base class for editing the value of a cell. The following editors are predefined:

Please see wx.grid.GridEvent, wx.grid.GridSizeEvent, wx.grid.GridRangeSelectEvent, and wx.grid.GridEditorCreatedEvent for the documentation of all event types you can use with wx.grid.Grid.

Class API¶

class wx.grid.Grid(ScrolledCanvas)¶

Possible constructors:

Grid()

Grid(parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize,
     style=WANTS_CHARS, name=GridNameStr)

Grid and its related classes are used for displaying and editing tabular data.

Methods¶

__init__(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

__init__ (self)

Default constructor.

You must call Create to really create the grid window and also call CreateGrid or SetTable or AssignTable to initialize its contents.

__init__ (self, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=WANTS_CHARS, name=GridNameStr)

Constructor creating the grid window.

You must call either CreateGrid or SetTable or AssignTable to initialize the grid contents before using it.

Parameters

parent (wx.Window) –
id (wx.WindowID) –
pos (wx.Point) –
size (wx.Size) –
style (long) –
name (string) –

AppendCols(self, numCols=1, updateLabels=True)¶

Appends one or more new columns to the right of the grid.

The updateLabels argument is not used at present. If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override wx.grid.GridTableBase.AppendCols . See InsertCols for further information.

Parameters

numCols (int) –
updateLabels (bool) –

Return type

bool

Returns

True on success or False if appending columns failed.

AppendRows(self, numRows=1, updateLabels=True)¶

Appends one or more new rows to the bottom of the grid.

The updateLabels argument is not used at present. If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override wx.grid.GridTableBase.AppendRows . See InsertRows for further information.

Parameters

numRows (int) –
updateLabels (bool) –

Return type

bool

Returns

True on success or False if appending rows failed.

AreHorzGridLinesClipped(self)¶

Return True if the horizontal grid lines stop at the last column boundary or False if they continue to the end of the window.

The default is to clip grid lines.

Return type: bool

AreVertGridLinesClipped(self)¶

Return True if the vertical grid lines stop at the last row boundary or False if they continue to the end of the window.

The default is to clip grid lines.

Return type: bool

AssignTable(self, table, selmode=GridSelectCells)¶

Assigns a pointer to a custom grid table to be used by the grid.

This function is identical to SetTable with takeOwnership parameter set to True, i.e. it simply always takes the ownership of the passed in pointer. This makes it simpler to use than SetTable in the common case when the table should be owned by the grid object.

Note that this function should be called at most once and can’t be used to change the table used by the grid later on or reset it: if such extra flexibility is needed, use SetTable directly.

Parameters

table (wx.grid.GridTableBase) – The heap-allocated pointer to the table.
selmode (GridSelectionModes) – Selection mode to use.

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.

AutoSize(self)¶: Automatically sets the height and width of all rows and columns to fit their contents.

AutoSizeColLabelSize(self, col)¶

Automatically adjusts width of the column to fit its label.

BeginBatch(self)¶

Increments the grid’s batch count.

When the count is greater than zero repainting of the grid is suppressed. Each call to BeginBatch must be matched by a later call to EndBatch . Code that does a lot of grid modification can be enclosed between BeginBatch and EndBatch calls to avoid screen flicker. The final EndBatch call will cause the grid to be repainted.

Notice that you should use wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker which ensures that there is always a matching EndBatch call for this BeginBatch if possible instead of calling this method directly.

numCols (int) –
selmode (GridSelectionModes) –

Return type

bool

DeleteCols(self, pos=0, numCols=1, updateLabels=True)¶

DisableCellEditControl(self)¶

Disables in-place editing of grid cells.

Equivalent to calling EnableCellEditControl(false).

DisableColResize(self, col)¶

Disable interactive resizing of the specified column.

This method allows one to disable resizing of an individual column in a grid where the columns are otherwise resizable (which is the case by default).

Notice that currently there is no way to make some columns resizable in a grid where columns can’t be resized by default as there doesn’t seem to be any need for this in practice. There is also no way to make the column marked as fixed using this method resizable again because it is supposed that fixed columns are used for static parts of the grid and so should remain fixed during the entire grid lifetime.

Also notice that disabling interactive column resizing will not prevent the program from changing the column size.

Parameters: col (int) –

EnableCellEditControl(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables in-place editing of grid cell data.

Enabling in-place editing generates wxEVT_GRID_EDITOR_SHOWN and, if it isn’t vetoed by the application, shows the in-place editor which allows the user to change the cell value.

Disabling in-place editing does nothing if the in-place editor isn’t currently shown, otherwise the wxEVT_GRID_EDITOR_HIDDEN event is generated but, unlike the “shown” event, it can’t be vetoed and the in-place editor is dismissed unconditionally.

Note that it is an error to call this function if the current cell is read-only, use CanEnableCellControl to check for this precondition.

Parameters: enable (bool) –

EnableDragCell(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables cell dragging with the mouse.

Parameters: enable (bool) –

EnableDragColMove(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables column moving by dragging with the mouse.

Note that reordering columns by dragging them is currently not supported when the grid has any frozen columns (see FreezeTo ) and if this method is called with enable equal to True in this situation, it returns False without doing anything. Otherwise it returns True to indicate that it was successful.

Parameters: enable (bool) –
Return type: bool

EnableDragColSize(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables column sizing by dragging with the mouse.

Parameters: enable (bool) –

Parameters: enable (bool) –

EnableDragRowMove(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables row moving by dragging with the mouse.

Note that reordering rows by dragging them is currently not supported when the grid has any frozen columns (see FreezeTo ) and if this method is called with enable equal to True in this situation, it returns False without doing anything. Otherwise it returns True to indicate that it was successful.

Parameters: enable (bool) –
Return type: bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.7.

EnableDragRowSize(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables row sizing by dragging with the mouse.

Parameters: enable (bool) –

See also

DisableRowResize

EnableEditing(self, edit)¶

Makes the grid globally editable or read-only.

If the edit argument is False this function sets the whole grid as read-only. If the argument is True the grid is set to the default state where cells may be editable. In the default state you can set single grid cells and whole rows and columns to be editable or read-only via wx.grid.GridCellAttr.SetReadOnly . For single cells you can also use the shortcut function SetReadOnly .

For more information about controlling grid cell attributes see the wx.grid.GridCellAttr class and the Grid Overview.

Parameters: edit (bool) –

EnableGridLines(self, enable=True)¶

Turns the drawing of grid lines on or off.

Parameters: enable (bool) –

EnableHidingColumns(self, enable=True)¶

Enables or disables column hiding from the header popup menu.

Note that currently the popup menu can only be shown when using wx.HeaderCtrl, i.e. if UseNativeColHeader had been called.

If the native header is not used, this method always simply returns False without doing anything, as hiding columns is not supported anyhow. If enable value is the same as CanHideColumns , it also returns False to indicate that nothing was done. Otherwise, it returns True to indicate that the value of this option was successfully changed.

The main use case for this method is to disallow hiding the columns interactively when using the native header.

Parameters: enable (bool) –
Return type: bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.3.

DisableHidingColumns

EndBatch(self)¶

Decrements the grid’s batch count.

When the count is greater than zero repainting of the grid is suppressed. Each previous call to BeginBatch must be matched by a later call to EndBatch . Code that does a lot of grid modification can be enclosed between BeginBatch and EndBatch calls to avoid screen flicker. The final EndBatch will cause the grid to be repainted.

See also

wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker

Fit(self)¶: Overridden wx.Window method.

GetCellSize(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

GetCellSize (self, row, col, num_rows, num_cols)

Get the size of the cell in number of cells covered by it.

For normal cells, the function fills both num_rows and num_cols with 1 and returns CellSpan_None. For cells which span multiple cells, i.e. for which SetCellSize had been called, the returned values are the same ones as were passed to SetCellSize call and the function return value is CellSpan_Main.

More unexpectedly, perhaps, the returned values may be negative for the cells which are inside a span covered by a cell occupying multiple rows or columns. They correspond to the offset of the main cell of the span from the cell passed to this functions and the function returns CellSpan_Inside value to indicate this.

As an example, consider a 3x3 grid with the cell (1, 1) (the one in the middle) having a span of 2 rows and 2 columns, i.e. the grid looks like

+----+----+----+
|    |    |    |
+----+----+----+
|    |         |
+----+         |
|    |         |
+----+----+----+

Then the function returns 2 and 2 in num_rows and num_cols for the cell (1, 1) itself and -1 and -1 for the cell (2, 2) as well as -1 and 0 for the cell (2, 1).

Parameters

row (int) – The row of the cell.
col (int) – The column of the cell.
num_rows (int) – Pointer to variable receiving the number of rows, must not be None.
num_cols (int) – Pointer to variable receiving the number of columns, must not be None.

Return type

wx.grid.Grid.CellSpan

Returns

The kind of this cell span (the return value is new in wxWidgets 2.9.1, this function was in previous wxWidgets versions).

GetCellSize (self, coords)

Get the number of rows and columns allocated for this cell.

This overload doesn’t return a CellSpan value but the values returned may still be negative, see GetCellSize(int, int, int, int ) for details.

Parameters: coords (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) –
Return type: Size

GetCellTextColour(self, row, col)¶

Returns the text colour for the grid cell at the specified location.

Parameters

GetCellValue(self, *args, **kw)¶

Returns the string contained in the cell at the specified location.

For simple applications where a grid object automatically uses a default grid table of string values you use this function together with SetCellValue to access cell values. For more complex applications where you have derived your own grid table class that contains various data types (e.g. numeric, boolean or user-defined custom types) then you only use this function for those cells that contain string values.

GetSelectedBlocks(self)¶

Returns a range of grid selection blocks.

The returned range can be iterated over, e.g. with C++11 range-for loop:

# For Python the returned GridBlocks object has a __iter__ method so iterating
# in the Python way is possible.

for block in self.grid.GetSelectedBlocks():: do_something(block)

Notice that the blocks returned by this method are not ordered in any particular way and may overlap. For grids using rows or columns-only selection modes, GetSelectedRowBlocks or GetSelectedColBlocks can be more convenient, as they return ordered and non-overlapping blocks.

Return type: wx.grid.GridBlocks

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.

GetSelectedCells(self)¶

Returns an array of individually selected cells.

Notice that this array does not contain all the selected cells in general as it doesn’t include the cells selected as part of column, row or block selection. You must use this method, GetSelectedCols , GetSelectedRows and GetSelectionBlockTopLeft and GetSelectionBlockBottomRight methods to obtain the entire selection in general.

Please notice this behaviour is by design and is needed in order to support grids of arbitrary size (when an entire column is selected in a grid with a million of columns, we don’t want to create an array with a million of entries in this function, instead it returns an empty array and GetSelectedCols returns an array containing one element).

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks in the new code.

Return type: GridCellCoordsArray

GetSelectedColBlocks(self)¶

Returns an ordered range of non-overlapping selected columns.

This method is symmetric to GetSelectedRowBlocks , but is useful only in GridSelectColumns selection mode.

Return type: PyObject

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.

See also

GetSelectedBlocks

GetSelectedCols(self)¶

Returns an array of selected columns.

Please notice that this method alone is not sufficient to find all the selected columns as it contains only the columns which were individually selected but not those being part of the block selection or being selected in virtue of all of their cells being selected individually, please see GetSelectedCells for more details.

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks in the new code.

Return type: list of integers

GetSelectedRowBlocks(self)¶

Returns an ordered range of non-overlapping selected rows.

For the grids using GridSelectRows selection mode, returns the possibly empty vector containing the coordinates of non-overlapping selected row blocks in the natural order, i.e. from smallest to the biggest row indices.

To see the difference between this method and GetSelectedBlocks , consider the case when the user selects rows 2..4 in the grid and then also selects (using Ctrl/Shift keys) the rows 1..3. Iterating over the result of GetSelectedBlocks would yield two blocks directly corresponding to the users selection, while this method returns a vector with a single element corresponding to the rows 1..4.

This method returns empty vector for the other selection modes.

Return type: PyObject

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.

GetSelectedRows(self)¶

Returns an array of selected rows.

Please notice that this method alone is not sufficient to find all the selected rows as it contains only the rows which were individually selected but not those being part of the block selection or being selected in virtue of all of their cells being selected individually, please see GetSelectedCells for more details.

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks in the new code.

Return type: list of integers

GetSelectionBackground(self)¶

Returns the colour used for drawing the selection background.

Return type: Colour

GetSelectionBlockBottomRight(self)¶

Returns an array of the bottom right corners of blocks of selected cells.

Please see GetSelectedCells for more information about the selection representation in wx.grid.Grid.

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks in the new code.

Return type: GridCellCoordsArray

See also

GetSelectionBlockTopLeft

GetSelectionBlockTopLeft(self)¶

Returns an array of the top left corners of blocks of selected cells.

Please see GetSelectedCells for more information about the selection representation in wx.grid.Grid.

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks in the new code.

Return type: GridCellCoordsArray

See also

GetSelectionBlockBottomRight

GetSelectionForeground(self)¶

Returns the colour used for drawing the selection foreground.

Return type: Colour

GetSelectionMode(self)¶

Return type: int

See also

SetSortingColumn

GetTable(self)¶

Returns a base pointer to the current table object.

The returned pointer is still owned by the grid.

Return type: wx.grid.GridTableBase

GoToCell(self, *args, **kw)¶

Make the given cell current and ensure it is visible.

This method is equivalent to calling MakeCellVisible and SetGridCursor and so, as with the latter, a wxEVT_GRID_SELECT_CELL event is generated by it and the selected cell doesn’t change if the event is vetoed.

Overloaded Implementations:

GoToCell (self, row, col)

Parameters

row (int) –
col (int) –

GoToCell (self, coords)

Parameters: coords (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) –

Returns True if drawing of grid lines is turned on, False otherwise.

Return type: bool

HideCellEditControl(self)¶: Hides the in-place cell edit control.

HideCol(self, col)¶

Hides the specified column.

To show the column later you need to call SetColSize with non-0 width or ShowCol to restore the previous column width.

If the column is already hidden, this method doesn’t do anything.

Parameters: col (int) – The column index.

HideColLabels(self)¶

Hides the column labels by calling SetColLabelSize with a size of 0.

The labels can be shown again by calling SetColLabelSize with a height greater than 0.

Note that when the column labels are hidden, the grid won’t have any visible border on the top side, which may result in a less than ideal appearance. Because of this, you may want to create the grid window with a border style, such as BORDER_SIMPLE , when you don’t plan to show the column labels for it.

See also

HideRowLabels

HideRow(self, col)¶

Hides the specified row.

To show the row later you need to call SetRowSize with non-0 width or ShowRow to restore its original height.

If the row is already hidden, this method doesn’t do anything.

Parameters: col (int) – The row index.

HideRowLabels(self)¶

Hides the row labels by calling SetRowLabelSize with a size of 0.

The labels can be shown again by calling SetRowLabelSize with a width greater than 0.

See HideColLabels for a note explaining why you may want to use a border with a grid without the row labels.

InsertCols(self, pos=0, numCols=1, updateLabels=True)¶

Inserts one or more new columns into a grid with the first new column at the specified position.

Notice that inserting the columns in the grid requires grid table cooperation: when this method is called, grid object begins by requesting the underlying grid table to insert new columns. If this is successful the table notifies the grid and the grid updates the display. For a default grid (one where you have called CreateGrid ) this process is automatic. If you are using a custom grid table (specified with SetTable or AssignTable ) then you must override wx.grid.GridTableBase.InsertCols in your derived table class.

Parameters

pos (int) – The position which the first newly inserted column will have.
numCols (int) – The number of columns to insert.
updateLabels (bool) – Currently not used.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the columns were successfully inserted, False if an error occurred (most likely the table couldn’t be updated).

InsertRows(self, pos=0, numRows=1, updateLabels=True)¶

Inserts one or more new rows into a grid with the first new row at the specified position.

Notice that you must implement wx.grid.GridTableBase.InsertRows if you use a grid with a custom table, please see InsertCols for more information.

Parameters

pos (int) – The position which the first newly inserted row will have.
numRows (int) – The number of rows to insert.
updateLabels (bool) – Currently not used.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the rows were successfully inserted, False if an error occurred (most likely the table couldn’t be updated).

Return type: bool

RefreshAttr(self, row, col)¶

Invalidates the cached attribute for the given cell.

For efficiency reasons, wx.grid.Grid may cache the recently used attributes (currently it caches only the single most recently used one, in fact) which can result in the cell appearance not being refreshed even when the attribute returned by your custom GridCellAttrProvider-derived class has changed. To force the grid to refresh the cell attribute, this function may be used. Notice that calling it will not result in actually redrawing the cell, you still need to call wx.Window.RefreshRect to invalidate the area occupied by the cell in the window to do this. Also note that you don’t need to call this function if you store the attributes in wx.grid.Grid itself, i.e. use its SetAttr and similar methods, it is only useful when using a separate custom attributes provider.

Parameters

row (int) – The row of the cell whose attribute needs to be queried again.
col (int) – The column of the cell whose attribute needs to be queried again.

New in version 2.9.2.

RefreshBlock(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

RefreshBlock (self, topLeft, bottomRight)

Redraw all the cells in the given block.

Refresh the block of cells with the given corners.

If the bottom right corner coordinates are invalid, i.e. set to -1 , the top left corner coordinates are used for it, i.e. just a single cell is refreshed. If the top left corner coordinates are invalid as well, the function simply returns without doing anything. Note, however, that both coordinates need to be valid or invalid simultaneously, i.e. setting the top row to -1 but using a valid value for the left column is unsupported and would result in an assertion failure.

Parameters

topLeft (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) –
bottomRight (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) –

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.3.

RefreshBlock (self, topRow, leftCol, bottomRow, rightCol)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

topRow (int) –
leftCol (int) –
bottomRow (int) –
rightCol (int) –

RegisterDataType(self, typeName, renderer, editor)¶

Register a new data type.

The data types allow to naturally associate specific renderers and editors to the cells containing values of the given type. For example, the grid automatically registers a data type with the name GRID_VALUE_STRING which uses wx.grid.GridCellStringRenderer and wx.grid.GridCellTextEditor as its renderer and editor respectively – this is the data type used by all the cells of the default wx.grid.GridStringTable, so this renderer and editor are used by default for all grid cells.

However if a custom table returns GRID_VALUE_BOOL from its wx.grid.GridTableBase.GetTypeName method, then wx.grid.GridCellBoolRenderer and wx.grid.GridCellBoolEditor are used for it because the grid also registers a boolean data type with this name.

And as this mechanism is completely generic, you may register your own data types using your own custom renderers and editors. Just remember that the table must identify a cell as being of the given type for them to be used for this cell.

Parameters

typeName (string) – Name of the new type. May be any string, but if the type name is the same as the name of an already registered type, including one of the standard ones (which are GRID_VALUE_STRING , GRID_VALUE_BOOL , GRID_VALUE_NUMBER , GRID_VALUE_FLOAT , GRID_VALUE_CHOICE and GRID_VALUE_DATE ), then the new registration information replaces the previously used renderer and editor.
renderer (wx.grid.GridCellRenderer) – The renderer to use for the cells of this type. Its ownership is taken by the grid, i.e. it will call DecRef() on this pointer when it doesn’t need it any longer.
editor (wx.grid.GridCellEditor) – The editor to use for the cells of this type. Its ownership is also taken by the grid.

Render(self, dc, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, topLeft=GridCellCoords(-1, -1), bottomRight=GridCellCoords(-1, -1), style=GRID_DRAW_DEFAULT)¶

Draws part or all of a wx.grid.Grid on a wx.DC for printing or display.

Pagination can be accomplished by using sequential Render calls with appropriate values in wx.grid.GridCellCoords topLeft and bottomRight.

Parameters

dc (wx.DC) – The wx.DC to be drawn on.
pos (wx.Point) – The position on the wx.DC where rendering should begin. If not specified drawing will begin at the wx.DC MaxX() and MaxY().
size (wx.Size) – The size of the area on the wx.DC that the rendered wx.grid.Grid should occupy. If not specified the drawing will be scaled to fit the available dc width or height. The wx.grid.Grid’s aspect ratio is maintained whether or not size is specified.
topLeft (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) – The top left cell of the block to be drawn. Defaults to ( 0, 0 ).
bottomRight (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) – The bottom right cell of the block to be drawn. Defaults to row and column counts.
style (int) – A combination of values from GridRenderStyle.

New in version 2.9.4.

SaveEditControlValue(self)¶

Sets the value of the current grid cell to the current in-place edit control value.

This is called automatically when the grid cursor moves from the current cell to a new cell. It is also a good idea to call this function when closing a grid since any edits to the final cell location will not be saved otherwise.

SelectAll(self)¶: Selects all cells in the grid.

Pressing the TAB key moves the grid cursor right in the current row, if there is a cell at the right and, similarly, Shift-TAB moves the cursor to the left in the current row if it’s not in the first column.

What happens if the cursor can’t be moved because it it’s already at the beginning or end of the row can be configured using this function, see wx.grid.Grid.TabBehaviour documentation for the detailed description.

IF none of the standard behaviours is appropriate, you can always handle wxEVT_GRID_TABBING event directly to implement a custom TAB-handling logic.

Parameters: behaviour (TabBehaviour) –

New in version 2.9.5.

_SetTable(self, table, takeOwnership=False, selmode=GridSelectCells)¶

Passes a pointer to a custom grid table to be used by the grid.

This should be called after the grid constructor and before using the grid object. If takeOwnership is set to True then the table will be deleted by the wx.grid.Grid destructor.

Use this function instead of CreateGrid when your application involves complex or non-string data or data sets that are too large to fit wholly in memory.

When the custom table should be owned by the grid, consider using the simpler AssignTable function instead of this one with True value of takeOwnership parameter.

Parameters

table (wx.grid.GridTableBase) –
takeOwnership (bool) –
selmode (GridSelectionModes) –

Return type

bool

SetTable(self, table, takeOwnership=False, selmode=Grid.GridSelectCells)¶: Set the Grid Table to be used by this grid.

SetUseNativeColLabels(self, native=True)¶

Call this in order to make the column labels use a native look by using wx.RendererNative.DrawHeaderButton internally.

There is no equivalent method for drawing row columns as there is not native look for that. This option is useful when using wx.grid.Grid for displaying tables and not as a spread-sheet.

Parameters: native (bool) –

See also

UseNativeColHeader

ShowCellEditControl(self)¶

Displays the active in-place cell edit control for the current cell after it was hidden.

This method should only be called after calling HideCellEditControl , to start editing the current grid cell use EnableCellEditControl instead.

ShowCol(self, col)¶

Shows the previously hidden column by resizing it to non-0 size.

The column is shown again with the same width that it had before HideCol call.

If the column is currently shown, this method doesn’t do anything.

Parameters: col (int) –

See also

HideCol , SetColSize

ShowRow(self, col)¶

Shows the previously hidden row.

The row is shown again with the same height that it had before HideRow call.

If the row is currently shown, this method doesn’t do anything.

Parameters: col (int) –

See also

HideRow , SetRowSize

UnsetSortingColumn(self)¶

Remove any currently shown sorting indicator.

This is equivalent to calling SetSortingColumn with NOT_FOUND first argument.

UseNativeColHeader(self, native=True)¶

Enable the use of native header window for column labels.

If this function is called with True argument, a wx.HeaderCtrl is used instead to display the column labels instead of drawing them in wx.grid.Grid code itself. This has the advantage of making the grid look and feel perfectly the same as native applications (using SetUseNativeColLabels the grid can be made to look more natively but it still doesn’t feel natively, notably the column resizing and dragging still works slightly differently as it is implemented in wxWidgets itself) but results in different behaviour for column and row headers, for which there is no equivalent function, and, most importantly, is unsuitable for grids with huge numbers of columns as wx.HeaderCtrl doesn’t support virtual mode. Because of this, by default the grid does not use the native header control but you should call this function to enable it if you are using the grid to display tabular data and don’t have thousands of columns in it.

Another difference between the default behaviour and the native header behaviour is that the latter provides the user with a context menu (which appears on right clicking the header) allowing to rearrange the grid columns if CanDragColMove returns True. If you want to prevent this from happening for some reason, you need to define a handler for wxEVT_GRID_LABEL_RIGHT_CLICK event which simply does nothing (in particular doesn’t skip the event) as this will prevent the default right click handling from working.

Also note that currently wxEVT_GRID_LABEL_RIGHT_DCLICK event is not generated for the column labels if the native columns header is used (but this limitation could possibly be lifted in the future).

Finally, please note that using the native control is currently incompatible with freezing columns in the grid (see FreezeTo ) and this function will return False, without doing anything, if it’s called on a grid in which any columns are frozen.

Parameters: native (bool) –
Return type: bool

XToCol(self, x, clipToMinMax=False, gridWindow=None)¶

Returns the column at the given pixel position depending on the window.

Parameters

x (int) – The x position to evaluate.
clipToMinMax (bool) – If True, rather than returning NOT_FOUND , it returns either the first or last column depending on whether x is too far to the left or right respectively.
gridWindow (wx.grid.GridWindow) – The associated grid window that limits the search (note that this parameter is only available since wxWidgets 3.1.3). If gridWindow is None, it will consider all the cells, no matter which grid they belong to.

Return type

int

Returns

The column index or NOT_FOUND .

XToEdgeOfCol(self, x)¶

Returns the column whose right hand edge is close to the given logical x position.

If no column edge is near to this position NOT_FOUND is returned.

Parameters: x (int) –
Return type: int

XYToCell(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

XYToCell (self, x, y, gridWindow=None)

Translates logical pixel coordinates to the grid cell coordinates.

Notice that this function expects logical coordinates on input so if you use this function in a mouse event handler you need to translate the mouse position, which is expressed in device coordinates, to logical ones.

The parameter gridWindow is new since wxWidgets 3.1.3. If it is specified, i.e. not None, the coordinates must be in this window coordinate system and only the cells of this window are considered, i.e. the function returns NOT_FOUND if the coordinates are out of bounds.

If gridWindow is None, coordinates are relative to the main grid window and all cells are considered.

Parameters

x (int) –
y (int) –
gridWindow (wx.grid.GridWindow) –

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellCoords

See also

XToCol , YToRow

XYToCell (self, pos, gridWindow=None)

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts.

Parameters

pos (wx.Point) –
gridWindow (wx.grid.GridWindow) –

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellCoords

YToEdgeOfRow(self, y)¶

Returns the row whose bottom edge is close to the given logical y position.

If no row edge is near to this position NOT_FOUND is returned.

Parameters: y (int) –
Return type: int

YToRow(self, y, clipToMinMax=False, gridWindow=None)¶

Returns the grid row that corresponds to the logical y coordinate.

The parameter gridWindow is new since wxWidgets 3.1.3. If it is specified, i.e. not None, only the cells of this window are considered, i.e. the function returns NOT_FOUND if y is out of bounds.

If gridWindow is None, the function returns NOT_FOUND only if there is no row at all at the y position.

Parameters
