.. _wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl:

==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl**
==========================================================================================================================================

A control combining :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl`  and :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  features.          

This is a multi-column tree control optionally supporting images and checkboxes for the items in the first column. 

It is currently implemented using :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl`  internally but provides a much simpler interface for the common use case it addresses. Thus, one of the design principles for this control is simplicity and intentionally doesn't provide all the features of :ref:`wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl`. Most importantly, this class stores all its data internally and doesn't require you to define a custom model for it. 

Instead, this controls works like :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl`  or non-virtual :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  and allows you to simply add items to it using :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.AppendItem`   and related methods. Typically, you start by setting up the columns (you must have at least one) by calling :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.AppendColumn`   and then add the items. While only the text of the first column can be specified when adding them, you can use :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.SetItemText`   to set the text of the other columns. 

Unlike :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl`  or :ref:`wx.ListCtrl`  this control can sort its items on its own. To allow user to sort the control contents by clicking on some column you should use ``wx.COL_SORTABLE`` flag when adding that column to the control. When a column with this flag is clicked, the control resorts itself using the values in this column. By default the sort is done using alphabetical order comparison of the items text, which is not always correct (e.g. this doesn't work for the numeric columns). To change this you may use :meth:`~wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.SetItemComparator`  method to provide a custom comparator, i.e. simply an object that implements comparison between the two items. The treelist sample shows an example of doing this. And if you need to sort the control programmatically, you can call :meth:`~wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.SetSortColumn`  method. 

Here are the styles supported by this control. Notice that using ``wx.dataview.TL_USER_3STATE`` implies ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE`` and ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE`` in turn implies ``wx.dataview.TL_CHECKBOX``. 

^^ 



.. _TreeListCtrl-styles:

|styles| Window Styles
================================

This class supports the following styles: 

  

- ``wx.dataview.TL_SINGLE``: Single selection, this is the default.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_MULTIPLE``: Allow multiple selection, see :meth:`~wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections`.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_CHECKBOX``: Show the usual, 2 state, checkboxes for the items in the first column.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE``: Show the checkboxes that can possibly be set by the program, but not the user, to a third, undetermined, state, for the items in the first column. Implies ``wx.dataview.TL_CHECKBOX``.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_USER_3STATE``: Same as ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE`` but the user can also set the checkboxes to the undetermined state. Implies ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE``.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_NO_HEADER``: Don't show the column headers, that are shown by default. Notice that this style is only available since wxWidgets 2.9.5.  
- ``wx.dataview.TL_DEFAULT_STYLE``: Style used by the control by default, just ``wx.dataview.TL_SINGLE`` currently. ^^ 

^^






.. _TreeListCtrl-events:

|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================

Handlers bound for the following event types will receive a :ref:`wx.dataview.TreeListEvent` parameter.

Event macros: 

- EVT_TREELIST_SELECTION_CHANGED: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_SELECTION_CHANGED``   event and notifies about the selection change in the control. In the single selection case the item indicated by the event has been selected and previously selected item, if any, was deselected. In multiple selection case, the selection of this item has just changed (it may have been either selected or deselected) but notice that the selection of other items could have changed as well, use  :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.GetSelections`   to retrieve the new selection if necessary.  
- EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDING: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDING``   event notifying about the given branch being expanded. This event is sent before the expansion occurs and can be vetoed to prevent it from happening.   
- EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDED: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDED``   event notifying about the expansion of the given branch. This event is sent after the expansion occurs and can't be vetoed.   
- EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED``   event notifying about the user checking or unchecking the item. You can use  :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.GetCheckedState`   to retrieve the new item state and :meth:`wx.dataview.TreeListEvent.GetOldCheckedState`   to get the previous one.  
- EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED``   event notifying about the user double clicking the item or activating it from keyboard.   
- EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU``   event indicating that the popup menu for the given item should be displayed.   
- EVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED: Process  ``wxEVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED``   event indicating that the control contents has just been resorted using the specified column. The event doesn't carry the sort direction, use  :meth:`~wx.dataview.TreeListCtrl.GetSortColumn`  method if you need to know it. ^^

      Return the currently selected item.                  

      This method can't be used with multi-selection controls, use :meth:`GetSelections`   instead. 

      The return value may be invalid if no item has been selected yet. Once an item in a single selection control was selected, it will keep a valid selection.                  

      :rtype: :ref:`wx.dataview.TreeListItem`

   .. method:: SetColumnWidth(self, col, width)

      Change the width of the given column.                  

      Set column width to either the given value in pixels or to the value large enough to fit all of the items if width is ``wx.COL_WIDTH_AUTOSIZE``. 

      Notice that setting the width of the last column is ignored as this column is always resized to fill the space left by the other columns.

      :param `imageList`: Image list to use, may be ``None`` to not show any images any more.   
      :type `imageList`: wx.ImageList




                  





   .. method:: SetItemComparator(self, comparator)

      Set the object to use for comparing the items.                  

      This object will be used when the control is being sorted because the user clicked on a sortable column or :meth:`SetSortColumn`   was called. 

      The provided pointer is stored by the control so the object it points to must have a life-time equal or greater to that of the control itself. In addition, the pointer can be ``None`` to stop using custom comparator and revert to the default alphabetical comparison.                  


      :param `comparator`: 
      :type `comparator`: wx.dataview.TreeListItemComparator







   .. method:: SetItemData(self, item, data)

      Set the data associated with the given item.                  

      Previous client data, if any, is deleted when this function is called so it may be used to delete the current item data object and reset it by passing ``None`` as `data`  argument.                  


      :param `item`: 
      :type `item`: wx.dataview.TreeListItem

   .. method:: SetSortColumn(self, col, ascendingOrder=True)

      Set the column to use for sorting and the order in which to sort.                  

      Calling this method resorts the control contents using the values of the items in the specified column. Sorting uses custom comparator set with :meth:`SetItemComparator`   or alphabetical comparison of items texts if none was specified. 

      Notice that currently there is no way to reset sort order. 




      :param `col`: A valid column index.   
      :param `ascendingOrder`: Indicates whether the items should be sorted in ascending (A to Z) or descending (Z to A) order.   
      :type `ascendingOrder`: bool






                  





   .. method:: UncheckItem(self, item)

      Uncheck the given item.                  

      This is synonymous with CheckItem(wxCHK_UNCHECKED).                  


      :param `item`: 
      :type `item`: wx.dataview.TreeListItem







   .. method:: Unselect(self, item)

      Deselect the given item.                  

      This method can be used in multiple selection mode only.                  


      :param `item`: 
      :type `item`: wx.dataview.TreeListItem







   .. method:: UnselectAll(self)

      Deselect all the control items.                  

      Can be only used in multi-selection mode.                   





   .. method:: UpdateItemParentStateRecursively(self, item)

      Update the state of the parent item to reflect the checked state of its children.                  

      This method updates the parent of this item recursively: if this item and all its siblings are checked, the parent will become checked as well. If this item and all its siblings are unchecked, the parent will be unchecked. And if the siblings of this item are not all in the same state, the parent will be switched to indeterminate state. And then the same logic will be applied to the parents parent and so on recursively. 

      This is typically called when the state of the given item has changed from EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED() handler in the controls which have ``wx.dataview.TL_3STATE`` flag. Notice that without this flag this function can't work as it would be unable to set the state of a parent with both checked and unchecked items so it's only allowed to call it when this flag is set.                  


      :param `item`: 
      :type `item`: wx.dataview.TreeListItem







   .. method:: WidthFor(self, text)

      Get the width appropriate for showing the given text.
