phoenix_title wx.grid.GridCellAttr

This class can be used to alter the cells’ appearance in the grid by changing their attributes from the defaults.

An object of this class may be returned by wx.grid.GridTableBase.GetAttr .

Note that objects of this class are reference-counted and it’s recommended to use GridCellAttrPtr smart pointer class when working with them to avoid memory leaks.

api Class API

class wx.grid.GridCellAttr(SharedClientDataContainer, RefCounter)

Possible constructors:

GridCellAttr(attrDefault=None)

GridCellAttr(colText, colBack, font, hAlign, vAlign)

This class can be used to alter the cells’ appearance in the grid by changing their attributes from the defaults.


Methods

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

overload Overloaded Implementations:



__init__ (self, attrDefault=None)

Default constructor.

Parameters

attrDefault (wx.grid.GridCellAttr) –



__init__ (self, colText, colBack, font, hAlign, vAlign)

Constructor specifying some of the often used attributes.

Parameters





CanOverflow(self)

Returns True if the cell will draw an overflowed text into the neighbouring cells.

Note that only left aligned cells currently can overflow. It means that GetFitMode .IsOverflow() should returns True and GetAlignment should returns wx.ALIGN_LEFT for hAlign parameter.

Return type

bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.



Clone(self)

Creates a new copy of this object.

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellAttr



DecRef(self)

This class is reference counted: it is created with ref count of 1, so calling DecRef once will delete it.

Calling IncRef allows locking it until the matching DecRef is called.



GetAlignment(self)

Get the alignment to use for the cell with the given attribute.

If this attribute doesn’t specify any alignment, the default attribute alignment is used (which can be changed using wx.grid.Grid.SetDefaultCellAlignment but is left and top by default).

Notice that hAlign and vAlign values are always overwritten by this function, use GetNonDefaultAlignment if this is not desirable.

Return type

tuple

Returns

( hAlign, vAlign )



GetBackgroundColour(self)

Returns the background colour.

Return type

Colour



GetEditor(self, grid, row, col)

Returns the cell editor.

The caller is responsible for calling DecRef on the returned pointer, use GetEditorPtr to do it automatically.

Parameters
Return type

wx.grid.GridCellEditor



GetEditorPtr(self, grid, row, col)

Returns the cell editor.

This method is identical to GetEditor , but returns a smart pointer, which frees the caller from the need to call DecRef manually.

Parameters
Return type

wx.grid.GridCellEditorPtr

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.



GetFitMode(self)

Returns the fitting mode for the cells using this attribute.

The returned wx.grid.GridFitMode is always specified, i.e. wx.grid.GridFitMode.IsSpecified always returns True. The default value, if SetFitMode hadn’t been called before, is “overflow”.

Return type

wx.grid.GridFitMode

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.



GetFont(self)

Returns the font.

Return type

Font



GetKind(self)
Return type

wx.grid.GridCellAttr.AttrKind



GetNonDefaultAlignment(self)

Get the alignment defined by this attribute.

Unlike GetAlignment this function only modifies hAlign and vAlign if this attribute does define a non-default alignment. This means that they must be initialized before calling this function and that their values will be preserved unchanged if they are different from wx.ALIGN_INVALID.

For example, the following fragment can be used to use the cell alignment if one is defined but right-align its contents by default (instead of left-aligning it by default) while still using the default vertical alignment:

hAlign = wx.ALIGN_RIGHT
vAlign = wx.ALIGN_INVALID

hAlign, vAlign = attr.GetNonDefaultAlignment()
Return type

tuple

Returns

( hAlign, vAlign )

New in version 2.9.1.



GetOverflow(self)

Returns True if the cells using this attribute overflow into the neighbouring cells.

Prefer using GetFitMode in the new code.

Return type

bool



GetRenderer(self, grid, row, col)

Returns the cell renderer.

The caller is responsible for calling DecRef on the returned pointer, use GetRendererPtr to do it automatically.

Parameters
Return type

wx.grid.GridCellRenderer



GetSize(self)
Return type

tuple

Returns

( num_rows, num_cols )



GetTextColour(self)

Returns the text colour.

Return type

Colour



HasAlignment(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid alignment set.

Return type

bool



HasBackgroundColour(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid background colour set.

Return type

bool



HasEditor(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid cell editor set.

Return type

bool



HasFont(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid font set.

Return type

bool



HasOverflowMode(self)
Return type

bool



HasReadWriteMode(self)
Return type

bool



HasRenderer(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid cell renderer set.

Return type

bool



HasSize(self)
Return type

bool



HasTextColour(self)

Returns True if this attribute has a valid text colour set.

Return type

bool



IncRef(self)

This class is reference counted: it is created with ref count of 1, so calling DecRef once will delete it.

Calling IncRef allows locking it until the matching DecRef is called.



IsReadOnly(self)

Returns True if this cell is set as read-only.

Return type

bool



MergeWith(self, mergefrom)
Parameters

mergefrom (wx.grid.GridCellAttr) –



SetAlignment(self, hAlign, vAlign)

Sets the alignment.

hAlign can be one of ALIGN_LEFT , ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_RIGHT and vAlign can be one of ALIGN_TOP , ALIGN_CENTRE or ALIGN_BOTTOM .

Parameters
  • hAlign (int) –

  • vAlign (int) –



SetBackgroundColour(self, colBack)

Sets the background colour.

Parameters

colBack (wx.Colour) –



SetDefAttr(self, defAttr)
Parameters

defAttr (wx.grid.GridCellAttr) –

Todo

Needs documentation.



SetEditor(self, editor)

Sets the editor to be used with the cells with this attribute.

Parameters

editor (wx.grid.GridCellEditor) –



SetFitMode(self, fitMode)

Specifies the behaviour of the cell contents if it doesn’t fit into the available space.

Parameters

fitMode (wx.grid.GridFitMode) –

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.



SetFont(self, font)

Sets the font.

Parameters

font (wx.Font) –



SetKind(self, kind)
Parameters

kind (AttrKind) –



SetOverflow(self, allow=True)

Specifies if cells using this attribute should overflow or clip their contents.

This is the same as calling SetFitMode with either wx.grid.GridFitMode.Overflow or wx.grid.GridFitMode.Clip argument depending on whether allow is True or False.

Prefer using SetFitMode directly instead in the new code.

Parameters

allow (bool) –



SetReadOnly(self, isReadOnly=True)

Sets the cell as read-only.

Parameters

isReadOnly (bool) –



SetRenderer(self, renderer)

Sets the renderer to be used for cells with this attribute.

Takes ownership of the pointer.

Parameters

renderer (wx.grid.GridCellRenderer) –



SetSize(self, num_rows, num_cols)
Parameters
  • num_rows (int) –

  • num_cols (int) –



SetTextColour(self, colText)

Sets the text colour.

Parameters

colText (wx.Colour) –



~wxGridCellAttr(self)

The destructor is private because only DecRef can delete us.
