\section{\class{wxTreeCtrl}}\label{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.

To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in \helpref{wxTreeEvent}{wxtreeevent}.

if you wish the user to be able to edit labels in the tree control.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTR\_NO\_BUTTONS}}{For convenience
to document that no buttons are to be drawn.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTR\_HAS\_BUTTONS}}{Use this style
to show + and - buttons to the left of parent items.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{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.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTR\_NO\_LINES}}{Use this style
to hide vertical level connectors.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{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.) }
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{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.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{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.  Generic only.}

to draw a contrasting border between displayed rows.}
\twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxTR\_HAS\_VARIABLE\_ROW\_HEIGHT}}{Use this style

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.}

\wxheading{Win32 notes}

wxTreeCtrl class uses the standard common treeview control under Win32
implemented in the system library {\tt 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 {\tt comctl32.dll}
to a newer version: see
\urlref{http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp}{http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/ieplatform/ie/comctrlx86.asp}.

\constfunc{bool}{GetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{wxRect\& }{rect}, \param{bool }{textOnly = FALSE}}

Retrieves the rectangle bounding the {\it item}. If {\it 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 {\it rect} is not changed) - for example, if the
item is currently invisible.

\pythonnote{The wxPython version of this method requires only the
{\tt item} and {\tt textOnly} parameters.  The return value is either a
{\tt wxRect} object or {\tt None}.}

\perlnote{In wxPerl this method only takes the parameters {\tt item} and 
  {\tt textOnly}, and returns a Wx::Rect ( or undef ).}

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::GetButtonsImageList}\label{wxtreectrlgetbuttonsimagelist}

\constfunc{wxImageList*}{GetButtonsImageList}{\void}

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

Returns the first child; call \helpref{wxTreeCtrl::GetNextChild}{wxtreectrlgetnextchild} 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.

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

\wxheading{See also}

\helpref{wxTreeCtrl::GetNextChild}{wxtreectrlgetnextchild}

\pythonnote{In wxPython the returned wxTreeItemId and the new cookie
value are both returned as a tuple containing the two values.}

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.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetIndent}\label{wxtreectrlsetindent}

\func{void}{SetIndent}{\param{int }{indent}}

Sets the indentation for the tree control.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetImageList}\label{wxtreectrlsetimagelist}

\func{void}{SetImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}}

Sets the normal image list. Image list assigned with this method will
{\bf not} be deleted by wxTreeCtrl's destructor, you must delete it yourself.

See also \helpref{AssignImageList}{wxtreectrlassignimagelist}.


\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemBackgroundColour}\label{wxtreectrlsetitembackgroundcolour}

\func{void}{SetItemBackgroundColour}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{const wxColour\& }{col}}

Sets the colour of the item's background.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemBold}\label{wxtreectrlsetitembold}

\func{void}{SetItemBold}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\& }{item}, \param{bool}{ bold = TRUE}}

Makes item appear in bold font if {\it bold} parameter is TRUE or resets it to
the normal state.

See also: \helpref{IsBold}{wxtreectrlisbold}

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemData}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemdata}

\func{void}{SetItemData}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{wxTreeItemData* }{data}}

Sets the item client data.

\pythonnote{wxPython provides the following shortcut method:\par
\indented{2cm}{\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf SetPyData(item, obj)}}{Associate the given Python
Object with the wxTreeItemData for the given item Id.}
\end{twocollist}}
}

\perlnote{wxPerl provides the following shortcut method:
\indented{2cm}{
\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf SetPlData( item, data )}}{Sets the Perl data
associated with the Wx::TreeItemData ( it is just the same as
tree->GetItemData( item )->SetData( data ); ).}
\end{twocollist}}
}

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemFont}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemfont}

\func{void}{SetItemFont}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{const wxFont\& }{font}}

Sets the item's font. All items in the tree should have the same height to avoid
text clipping, so the fonts height should be the same for all of them,
although font attributes may vary.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemHasChildren}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemhaschildren}

\func{void}{SetItemHasChildren}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{bool }{hasChildren = TRUE}}

Force appearance of the button next to the item. This is useful to
allow the user to expand the items which don't have any children now,
but instead adding them only when needed, thus minimizing memory
usage and loading time.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemImage}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemimage}

\func{void}{SetItemImage}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item},
 \param{int }{image}, \param{wxTreeItemIcon }{which = wxTreeItemIcon\_Normal}}

Sets the specified item image. See \helpref{GetItemImage}{wxtreectrlgetitemimage}
for the description of the {\it which} parameter.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemSelectedImage}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemselectedimage}

\func{void}{SetItemSelectedImage}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{int }{selImage}}

Sets the selected item image (this function is obsolete, use {\tt SetItemImage(item, wxTreeItemIcon\_Selected}) instead).

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemText}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemtext}

\func{void}{SetItemText}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{const wxString\& }{text}}

Sets the item label.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemTextColour}\label{wxtreectrlsetitemtextcolour}

\func{void}{SetItemTextColour}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{const wxColour\& }{col}}

Sets the colour of the item's text.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SetStateImageList}\label{wxtreectrlsetstateimagelist}

\func{void}{SetStateImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}}

Sets the state image list (from which application-defined state images are taken).
Image list assigned with this method will
{\bf not} be deleted by wxTreeCtrl's destructor, you must delete it yourself.

See also \helpref{AssignStateImageList}{wxtreectrlassignstateimagelist}.

\func{void}{SetWindowStyle}{\param{long}{styles}}

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

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::SortChildren}\label{wxtreectrlsortchildren}

\func{void}{SortChildren}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}}

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

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::Toggle}\label{wxtreectrltoggle}

\func{void}{Toggle}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}}

Toggles the given item between collapsed and expanded states.

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::Unselect}\label{wxtreectrlunselect}

\func{void}{Unselect}{\void}

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

\membersection{wxTreeCtrl::UnselectAll}\label{wxtreectrlunselectall}

\func{void}{UnselectAll}{\void}

This function either behaves the same as \helpref{Unselect}{wxtreectrlunselect}
if the control doesn't have wxTR\_MULTIPLE style, or removes the selection from
all items if it does have this style.

\section{\class{wxTreeItemData}}\label{wxtreeitemdata}

wxTreeItemData is some (arbitrary) user class associated with some item. The
main advantage of having this class (compared to the old untyped interface) is
that wxTreeItemData's are destroyed automatically by the tree and, as this
class has virtual dtor, it means that the memory will be automatically
freed. We don't just use wxObject instead of wxTreeItemData because
the size of this class is critical: in any real application, each tree leaf
will have wxTreeItemData associated with it and number of leaves may be
quite big.

Because the objects of this class are deleted by the tree, they should
always be allocated on the heap.

\membersection{wxTreeItemData::wxTreeItemData}\label{wxtreeitemdataconstr}

\func{}{wxTreeItemData}{\void}

Default constructor.

\pythonnote{The wxPython version of this constructor optionally
accepts any Python object as a parameter.  This object is then
associated with the tree item using the wxTreeItemData as a
container.

In addition, the following methods are added in wxPython for accessing
the object:

\indented{2cm}{\begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt
\twocolitem{{\bf GetData()}}{Returns a reference to the Python Object}
\twocolitem{{\bf SetData(obj)}}{Associates a new Python Object with the
wxTreeItemData}
\end{twocollist}}
}

\perlnote{In wxPerl the constructor accepts as parameter an optional scalar,
 and stores it as client data. You may retrieve this data by calling
 {\bf GetData()}, and set it by callling {\bf SetData( data ).}
}

\membersection{wxTreeItemData::\destruct{wxTreeItemData}}

\func{void}{\destruct{wxTreeItemData}}{\void}

Virtual destructor.

\membersection{wxTreeItemData::GetId}\label{wxtreeitemdatagetid}

\func{const wxTreeItem\&}{GetId}{\void}

Returns the item associated with this node.

\membersection{wxTreeItemData::SetId}\label{wxtreeitemdatasetid}

\func{void}{SetId}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ id}}

Sets the item associated with this node.
