phoenix_title wx.grid.GridTableBase

The almost abstract base class for grid tables.

A grid table is responsible for storing the grid data and, indirectly, grid cell attributes. The data can be stored in the way most convenient for the application but has to be provided in string form to wx.grid.Grid. It is also possible to provide cells values in other formats if appropriate, e.g. as numbers.

This base class is not quite abstract as it implements a trivial strategy for storing the attributes by forwarding it to wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider and also provides stubs for some other functions. However it does have a number of pure virtual methods which must be implemented in the derived classes.

class wx.grid.GridTableBase(Object)

Possible constructors:

GridTableBase()

The almost abstract base class for grid tables.


Methods

__init__(self)

Default constructor.


AppendCols(self, numCols=1)

Exactly the same as AppendRows but for columns.

Parameters

numCols (int) –

Return type

bool


AppendRows(self, numRows=1)

Append additional rows at the end of the table.

This method is provided in addition to InsertRows as some data models may only support appending rows to them but not inserting them at arbitrary locations. In such case you may implement this method only and leave InsertRows unimplemented.

Parameters

numRows (int) – The number of rows to add.

Return type

bool


CanGetValueAs(self, row, col, typeName)

Returns True if the value of the given cell can be accessed as if it were of the specified type.

By default the cells can only be accessed as strings. Note that a cell could be accessible in different ways, e.g. a numeric cell may return True for GRID_VALUE_NUMBER but also for GRID_VALUE_STRING indicating that the value can be coerced to a string form.

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

  • typeName (string) –

Return type

bool


CanHaveAttributes(self)

Returns True if this table supports attributes or False otherwise.

By default, the table automatically creates a wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider when this function is called if it had no attribute provider before and returns True.

Return type

bool


CanMeasureColUsingSameAttr(self, col)

Override to return True if the same attribute can be used for measuring all cells in the given column.

This function is provided for optimization purposes: it returns False by default, but can be overridden to return True when all the cells in the same grid column use sensibly the same attribute, i.e. they use the same renderer (either explicitly, or implicitly, due to their type as returned by GetTypeName ) and the font of the same size.

Returning True from this function allows AutoSizeColumns() to skip looking up the attribute and the renderer for each individual cell, which results in very noticeable performance improvements for the grids with many rows.

Parameters

col (int) –

Return type

bool

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.


CanSetValueAs(self, row, col, typeName)

Returns True if the value of the given cell can be set as if it were of the specified type.

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

  • typeName (string) –

Return type

bool

CanGetValueAs


Clear(self)

Clear the table contents.

This method is used by wx.grid.Grid.ClearGrid .


DeleteCols(self, pos=0, numCols=1)

Exactly the same as DeleteRows but for columns.

Parameters

  • pos (int) –

  • numCols (int) –

Return type

bool


DeleteRows(self, pos=0, numRows=1)

Delete rows from the table.

Parameters

  • pos (int) – The first row to delete.

  • numRows (int) – The number of rows to delete.

Return type

bool


GetAttr(self, row, col, kind)

Return the attribute for the given cell.

By default this function is simply forwarded to wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider.GetAttr but it may be overridden to handle attributes directly in the table.

Prefer to use GetAttrPtr to avoid the need to call DecRef() on the returned pointer manually.

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

  • kind (GridCellAttr.wxAttrKind) –

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellAttr


GetAttrProvider(self)

Returns the attribute provider currently being used.

This function may return None if the attribute provider hasn’t been either associated with this table by SetAttrProvider nor created on demand by any other methods.

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider


GetAttrPtr(self, row, col, kind)

Return the attribute for the given cell.

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

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

  • kind (GridCellAttr.wxAttrKind) –

Return type

wx.grid.GridCellAttrPtr

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.4.


GetColLabelValue(self, col)

Return the label of the specified column.

Parameters

col (int) –

This method is not virtual and is only provided as a convenience for the derived classes which can’t call GetNumberCols without a const_cast from their methods.

Return type

int


GetCornerLabelValue(self)

Return the label of the grid’s corner.

Return type

string

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.2.


GetNumberCols(self)

Must be overridden to return the number of columns in the table.

For backwards compatibility reasons, this method is not const. Use GetColsCount instead of it in methods of derived table classes,

Return type

int


GetNumberRows(self)

Must be overridden to return the number of rows in the table.

For backwards compatibility reasons, this method is not const. Use GetRowsCount instead of it in methods of derived table classes.

Return the label of the specified row.

Parameters

row (int) –

Same as IsEmptyCell but taking wx.grid.GridCellCoords.

Notice that this method is not virtual, only IsEmptyCell should be overridden.

Parameters

coords (wx.grid.GridCellCoords) –

Return type

bool


IsEmptyCell(self, row, col)

May be overridden to implement testing for empty cells.

This method is used by the grid to test if the given cell is not used and so whether a neighbouring cell may overflow into it. By default it only returns True if the value of the given cell, as returned by GetValue , is empty.

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

Return type

bool


SetAttr(self, attr, row, col)

Set attribute of the specified cell.

By default this function is simply forwarded to wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider.SetAttr .

The table takes ownership of attr, i.e. will call DecRef() on it.

Parameters

SetAttrProvider(self, attrProvider)

Associate this attributes provider with the table.

The table takes ownership of attrProvider pointer and will delete it when it doesn’t need it any more. The pointer can be None, however this won’t disable attributes management in the table but will just result in a default attributes being recreated the next time any of the other functions in this section is called. To completely disable the attributes support, should this be needed, you need to override CanHaveAttributes to return False.

Parameters

attrProvider (wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider) –


SetColAttr(self, attr, col)

Set attribute of the specified column.

By default this function is simply forwarded to wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider.SetColAttr .

The table takes ownership of attr, i.e. will call DecRef() on it.

Parameters

SetColLabelValue(self, col, label)

Exactly the same as SetRowLabelValue but for columns.

Parameters

  • col (int) –

  • label (string) –


SetCornerLabelValue(self)

Set the given label for the grid’s corner.

The default version does nothing, i.e. the label is not stored. You must override this method in your derived class if you wish wx.grid.Grid.GetCornerLabelValue to work.

Parameters

`` (string) –

New in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.2.


SetRowAttr(self, attr, row)

Set attribute of the specified row.

By default this function is simply forwarded to wx.grid.GridCellAttrProvider.SetRowAttr .

The table takes ownership of attr, i.e. will call DecRef() on it.

Parameters

SetRowLabelValue(self, row, label)

Set the given label for the specified row.

The default version does nothing, i.e. the label is not stored. You must override this method in your derived class if you wish wx.grid.Grid.SetRowLabelValue to work.

  • label (string) –


SetValue(self, row, col, value)

Must be overridden to implement setting the table values as text.

Parameters

  • row (int) –

  • col (int) –

  • value (string) –


SetValueAsBool(self, row, col, value)

  • value (bool) –


SetValueAsDouble(self, row, col, value)
