## wxTreeCtrl

A tree control presents information as a hierarchy, with items that may be expanded to show further items. Items in a tree control are referenced by wxTreeItemId handles, which may be tested for validity by calling wxTreeItemId::IsOk.

To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in wxTreeEvent.

Window styles

wxTR_EDIT_LABELS | Use this style if you wish the user to be able to edit labels in the tree control.
wxTR_NO_BUTTONS | For convenience to document that no buttons are to be drawn.
wxTR_HAS_BUTTONS | Use this style to show + and - buttons to the left of parent items.
wxTR_TWIST_BUTTONS | Use this style to show Mac-style twister buttons to the left of parent items. If both wxTR_HAS_BUTTONS and wxTR_TWIST_BUTTONS are given, twister buttons are generated. Generic only.
wxTR_NO_LINES | Use this style to hide vertical level connectors.
wxTR_FULL_ROW_HIGHLIGHT | Use this style to have the background colour and the selection highlight extend over the entire horizontal row of the tree control window. (This flag is ignored under Windows unless you specify wxTR_NO_LINES as well.)
wxTR_LINES_AT_ROOT | Use this style to show lines between root nodes. Only applicable if wxTR_HIDE_ROOT is set and wxTR_NO_LINES is not set.
wxTR_HIDE_ROOT | Use this style to suppress the display of the root node, effectively causing the first-level nodes to appear as a series of root nodes.
wxTR_ROW_LINES | Use this style to draw a contrasting border between displayed rows.
wxTR_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT | Use this style to cause row heights to be just big enough to fit the content. If not set, all rows use the largest row height. The default is that this flag is unset. Generic only.
wxTR_SINGLE | For convenience to document that only one item may be selected at a time. Selecting another item causes the current selection, if any, to be deselected. This is the default.
wxTR_MULTIPLE | Use this style to allow a range of items to be selected. If a second range is selected, the current range, if any, is deselected.
wxTR_EXTENDED | Use this style to allow disjoint items to be selected. (Only partially implemented; may not work in all cases.)
wxTR_DEFAULT_STYLE | The set of flags that are closest to the defaults for the native control for a particular toolkit.

See also window styles overview.

Event handling

To process input from a tree control, use these event handler macros to direct input to member functions that take a wxTreeEvent argument.

EVT_TREE_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func) | Begin dragging with the left mouse button.
EVT_TREE_BEGIN_RDRAG(id, func) | Begin dragging with the right mouse button.
EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT(id, func) | Begin editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT(id, func) | Finish editing a label. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM(id, func) | Delete an item.
EVT_TREE_GET_INFO(id, func) | Request information from the application.
EVT_TREE_SET_INFO(id, func) | Information is being supplied.
EVT_TREE_ITEM_ACTIVATED(id, func) | The item has been activated, i.e. chosen by double clicking it with mouse or from keyboard
EVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func) | The item has been collapsed.
EVT_TREE_ITEM_COLLAPSING(id, func) | The item is being collapsed. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func) | The item has been expanded.
EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING(id, func) | The item is being expanded. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED(id, func) | Selection has changed.
EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGING(id, func) | Selection is changing. This can be prevented by calling Veto().
EVT_TREE_KEY_DOWN(id, func) | A key has been pressed.

Win32 notes

wxTreeCtrl class uses the standard common treeview control under Win32 implemented in the system library `comctl32.dll`. Some versions of this library are known to have bugs with handling the tree control colours: the usual symptom is that the expanded items leave black (or otherwise incorrectly coloured) background behind them, especially for the controls using non default background colour. The recommended solution is to upgrade the `comctl32.dll` to a newer version: see http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp.

See also

wxTreeCtrl::Create, wxValidator

### wxTreeCtrl::~wxTreeCtrl

void ~wxTreeCtrl()

Destructor, destroying the list control.

### wxTreeCtrl::AddRoot

wxTreeItemId AddRoot(const wxString& text, int image = -1, int selImage = -1, wxTreeItemData* data = NULL)

Adds the root node to the tree, returning the new item.

The image and selImage parameters are an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and selected items, respectively. If image > -1 and selImage is -1, the same image is used for both selected and unselected items.

### wxTreeCtrl::AppendItem

wxTreeItemId AppendItem(const wxTreeItemId& parent, const wxString& text, int image = -1, int selImage = -1, wxTreeItemData* data = NULL)

Appends an item to the end of the branch identified by parent, return a new item id.

The image and selImage parameters are an index within the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and selected items, respectively. If image > -1 and selImage is -1, the same image is used for both selected and unselected items.

### wxTreeCtrl::AssignButtonsImageList

void AssignButtonsImageList(wxImageList* imageList)

Sets the buttons image list. The button images assigned with this method will be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).

Setting or assigning the button image list enables the display of image buttons. Once enabled, the only way to disable the display of button images is to set the button image list to NULL.

This function is only available in the generic version.

See also SetButtonsImageList.

### wxTreeCtrl::AssignImageList

void AssignImageList(wxImageList* imageList)

Sets the normal image list. Image list assigned with this method will be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).

See also SetImageList.

### wxTreeCtrl::AssignStateImageList

void AssignStateImageList(wxImageList* imageList)

Sets the state image list. Image list assigned with this method will be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).

See also SetStateImageList.

### wxTreeCtrl::Collapse

void Collapse(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Collapses the given item.

### wxTreeCtrl::CollapseAndReset

void CollapseAndReset(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Collapses the given item and removes all children.

### wxTreeCtrl::Create

bool wxTreeCtrl(wxWindow* parent, wxWindowID id, const wxPoint& pos = wxDefaultPosition, const wxSize& size = wxDefaultSize, long style = wxTR_HAS_BUTTONS, const wxValidator& validator = wxDefaultValidator, const wxString& name = "listCtrl")

Creates the tree control. See wxTreeCtrl::wxTreeCtrl for further details.

### wxTreeCtrl::Delete

void Delete(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Deletes the specified item. A `EVT_TREE_DELETE_ITEM` event will be generated.

### wxTreeCtrl::DeleteAllItems

void DeleteAllItems()

Deletes all the items in the control. Note that this will not generate any events unlike Delete method.

### wxTreeCtrl::DeleteChildren

void DeleteChildren(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Deletes all children of the given item (but not the item itself). Note that this will not generate any events unlike Delete method.

### wxTreeCtrl::EditLabel

void EditLabel(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Starts editing the label of the given item. This function generates a EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event which can be vetoed so that no text control will appear for in-place editing.

If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave the text control without changes, a EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT event will be sent which can be vetoed as well.

See also

wxTreeCtrl::EndEditLabel, wxTreeEvent

### wxTreeCtrl::EndEditLabel

void EndEditLabel(bool cancelEdit)

Ends label editing. If cancelEdit is TRUE, the edit will be cancelled.

This function is currently supported under Windows only.

See also

wxTreeCtrl::EditLabel

### wxTreeCtrl::EnsureVisible

void EnsureVisible(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Scrolls and/or expands items to ensure that the given item is visible.

### wxTreeCtrl::Expand

void Expand(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Expands the given item.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetBoundingRect

bool GetBoundingRect(const wxTreeItemId& item, wxRect& rect, bool textOnly = FALSE) const

Retrieves the rectangle bounding the item. If textOnly is TRUE, only the rectangle around the item's label will be returned, otherwise the item's image is also taken into account.

The return value is TRUE if the rectangle was successfully retrieved or FALSE if it was not (in this case rect is not changed) - for example, if the item is currently invisible.

wxPython note: The wxPython version of this method requires only the `item` and `textOnly` parameters. The return value is either a `wxRect` object or `None`.

wxPerl note: In wxPerl this method only takes the parameters `item` and `textOnly`, and returns a Wx::Rect ( or undef ).

### wxTreeCtrl::GetButtonsImageList

wxImageList* GetButtonsImageList() const

Returns the buttons image list (from which application-defined button images are taken).

This function is only available in the generic version.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetChildrenCount

size_t GetChildrenCount(const wxTreeItemId& item, bool recursively = TRUE) const

Returns the number of items in the branch. If recursively is TRUE, returns the total number of descendants, otherwise only one level of children is counted.

wxTextCtrl& GetEditControl() const

Returns the edit control used to edit a label.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetFirstChild

wxTreeItemId GetFirstChild(const wxTreeItemId& item, long& cookie) const

Returns the first child; call wxTreeCtrl::GetNextChild for the next child.

For this enumeration function you must pass in a 'cookie' parameter which is opaque for the application but is necessary for the library to make these functions reentrant (i.e. allow more than one enumeration on one and the same object simultaneously). The cookie passed to GetFirstChild and GetNextChild should be the same variable.

Returns an invalid tree item if there are no further children.

See also

wxTreeCtrl::GetNextChild, wxTreeCtrl::GetNextSibling

wxPython note: In wxPython the returned wxTreeItemId and the new cookie value are both returned as a tuple containing the two values.

wxPerl note: In wxPerl this method only takes the `item` parameter, and returns a 2-element list `( item, cookie )`.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetFirstVisibleItem

wxTreeItemId GetFirstVisibleItem() const

Returns the first visible item.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetImageList

GetPyData(item) | Returns the Python Object associated with the wxTreeItemData for the given item Id.

wxPerl note: wxPerl provides the following shortcut method:

GetPlData( item ) | Returns the Perl data associated with the Wx::TreeItemData ( it is just the same as tree->GetItemData( item )->GetData(); ).

### wxTreeCtrl::GetItemFont

wxFont GetItemFont(const wxTreeItemId& item) const

Returns the font of the item label.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetItemImage

int GetItemImage(const wxTreeItemId& item, wxTreeItemIcon which = wxTreeItemIcon_Normal) const

Gets the specified item image. The value of which may be:

- wxTreeItemIcon_Normal to get the normal item image
- wxTreeItemIcon_Selected to get the selected item image (i.e. the image which is shown when the item is currently selected)
- wxTreeItemIcon_Expanded to get the expanded image (this only makes sense for items which have children - then this image is shown when the item is expanded and the normal image is shown when it is collapsed)
- wxTreeItemIcon_SelectedExpanded to get the selected expanded image (which is shown when an expanded item is currently selected)

### wxTreeCtrl::GetItemText

wxString GetItemText(const wxTreeItemId& item) const

Returns the item label.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetItemTextColour

wxColour GetItemTextColour(const wxTreeItemId& item) const

The cookie passed to GetFirstChild and GetNextChild should be the same.

Returns an invalid tree item if there are no further children.

See also

wxTreeCtrl::GetFirstChild

wxPython note: In wxPython the returned wxTreeItemId and the new cookie value are both returned as a tuple containing the two values.

wxPerl note: In wxPerl this method returns a 2-element list `( item, cookie )`, instead of modifying its parameters.

### wxTreeCtrl::GetNextSibling

Sets the mode flags associated with the display of the tree control. The new mode takes effect immediately. (Generic only; MSW ignores changes.)

### wxTreeCtrl::SortChildren

void SortChildren(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Sorts the children of the given item using OnCompareItems method of wxTreeCtrl. You should override that method to change the sort order (the default is ascending alphabetical order).

See also

wxTreeItemData, OnCompareItems

### wxTreeCtrl::Toggle

void Toggle(const wxTreeItemId& item)

Toggles the given item between collapsed and expanded states.

### wxTreeCtrl::Unselect

void Unselect()

Removes the selection from the currently selected item (if any).

### wxTreeCtrl::UnselectAll

void UnselectAll()

This function either behaves the same as Unselect if the control doesn't have wxTR_MULTIPLE style, or removes the selection from all items if it does have this style.
