49 way than receiving or passing it to wxTreeListCtrl and checking for
63 Only the default constructor is publicly accessible.
65 Default constructing a wxTreeListItem creates an invalid item.
70 Return true if the item is valid.
77 @class wxTreeListItemComparator
79 Class defining sort order for the items in wxTreeListCtrl.
88 class wxTreeListItemComparator
94 Notice that this class is not copyable, comparators are not passed by
97 wxTreeListItemComparator();
100 Pure virtual function which must be overridden to define sort order.
102 The comparison function should return negative, null or positive value
103 depending on whether the first item is less than, equal to or greater
104 than the second one. The items should be compared using their values
105 for the given column.
108 The control whose contents is being sorted.
110 The column of this control used for sorting.
112 First item to compare.
114 Second item to compare.
116 A negative value if the first item is less than (i.e. should appear
117 above) the second one, zero if the two items are equal or a
118 positive value if the first item is greater than (i.e. should
119 appear below) the second one.

128 Trivial but virtual destructor.
130 Although this class is not used polymorphically by wxWidgets itself,
131 provide virtual dtor in case it's used like this in the user code.
133 virtual ~wxTreeListItemComparator();
138 Container of multiple items.
140 typedef wxVector
<wxTreeListItem
> wxTreeListItems
;
144 Special wxTreeListItem value meaning "insert before the first item".
146 This value can be passed to wxTreeListCtrl::InsertItem() to achieve the
147 same effect as calling wxTreeListCtrl::PrependItem().
149 extern const wxTreeListItem wxTLI_FIRST
;
153 Special wxTreeListItem value meaning "insert after the last item".
155 This value can be passed to wxTreeListCtrl::InsertItem() to achieve the
156 same effect as calling wxTreeListCtrl::AppendItem().
158 extern const wxTreeListItem wxTLI_LAST
;
162 @class wxTreeListCtrl
164 A control combining wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl features.
166 This is a multi-column tree control optionally supporting images and
167 checkboxes for the items in the first column.
169 It is currently implemented using wxDataViewCtrl internally but provides a
170 much simpler interface for the common use case it addresses. Thus, one of
171 the design principles for this control is simplicity and intentionally
172 doesn't provide all the features of wxDataViewCtrl. Most importantly, this
173 class stores all its data internally and doesn't require you to define a
176 Instead, this controls works like wxTreeCtrl or non-virtual wxListCtrl and
177 allows you to simply add items to it using wxTreeListCtrl::AppendItem() and
178 related methods. Typically, you start by setting up the columns (you must
179 have at least one) by calling wxTreeListCtrl::AppendColumn() and then add
180 the items. While only the text of the first column can be specified when
181 adding them, you can use wxTreeListCtrl::SetItemText() to set the text of
185 Unlike wxTreeCtrl or wxListCtrl this control can sort its items on its own.
186 To allow user to sort the control contents by clicking on some column you
187 should use wxCOL_SORTABLE flag when adding that column to the control. When
188 a column with this flag is clicked, the control resorts itself using the
189 values in this column. By default the sort is done using alphabetical order
190 comparison of the items text, which is not always correct (e.g. this
191 doesn't work for the numeric columns). To change this you may use
192 SetItemComparator() method to provide a custom comparator, i.e. simply an
193 object that implements comparison between the two items. The treelist
194 sample shows an example of doing this. And if you need to sort the control
195 programmatically, you can call SetSortColumn() method.
198 Here are the styles supported by this control. Notice that using
199 wxTL_USER_3STATE implies wxTL_3STATE and wxTL_3STATE in turn implies
204 Single selection, this is the default.
205 @style{wxTL_MULTIPLE}
206 Allow multiple selection, see GetSelections().
207 @style{wxTL_CHECKBOX}
208 Show the usual, 2 state, checkboxes for the items in the first column.
210 Show the checkboxes that can possibly be set by the program, but not
211 the user, to a third, undetermined, state, for the items in the first
212 column. Implies wxTL_CHECKBOX.
213 @style{wxTL_USER_3STATE}
214 Same as wxTL_3STATE but the user can also set the checkboxes to the
215 undetermined state. Implies wxTL_3STATE.
216 @style{wxTL_DEFAULT_STYLE}
217 Style used by the control by default, just wxTL_SINGLE currently.
220 @beginEventTable{wxTreeListEvent}
221 @event{EVT_TREELIST_SELECTION_CHANGED(id, func)}
222 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_SELECTION_CHANGED event and notifies
223 about the selection change in the control. In the single selection case
224 the item indicated by the event has been selected and previously
225 selected item, if any, was deselected. In multiple selection case, the
226 selection of this item has just changed (it may have been either
227 selected or deselected) but notice that the selection of other items
228 could have changed as well, use wxTreeListCtrl::GetSelections() to
229 retrieve the new selection if necessary.
230 @event{EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDING(id, func)}
231 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDING event notifying about
232 the given branch being expanded. This event is sent before the
233 expansion occurs and can be vetoed to prevent it from happening.
234 @event{EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func)}
235 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_EXPANDED event notifying about
236 the expansion of the given branch. This event is sent after the
237 expansion occurs and can't be vetoed.
238 @event{EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED(id, func)}
239 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED event notifying about
240 the user checking or unchecking the item. You can use
241 wxTreeListCtrl::GetCheckedState() to retrieve the new item state and
242 wxTreeListEvent::GetOldCheckedState() to get the previous one.
243 @event{EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED(id, func)}
244 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED event notifying about
245 the user double clicking the item or activating it from keyboard.
246 @event{EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU(id, func)}
247 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU event indicating
248 that the popup menu for the given item should be displayed.
249 @event{EVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED(id, func)}
250 Process @c wxEVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED event indicating that
251 the control contents has just been resorted using the specified column.
252 The event doesn't carry the sort direction, use GetSortColumn() method
253 if you need to know it.

317 Like wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl this class uses wxImageList so if you
318 intend to use item icons with it, you must construct wxImageList
319 containing them first and then specify the indices of the icons in this
320 image list when adding the items later.
324 /// A constant indicating that no image should be used for an item.
325 static const int NO_IMAGE
= -1;
328 Sets the image list and gives its ownership to the control.
330 The image list assigned with this method will be automatically deleted
331 by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).
335 void AssignImageList(wxImageList
* imageList

340 The image list assigned with this method will @b not be deleted by the
341 control itself and you will need to delete it yourself, use

392 deleting the column failed for some other reason.
394 bool DeleteColumn(unsigned col

399 @see DeleteAllItems()
404 Change the width of the given column.
406 Set column width to either the given value in pixels or to the value
407 large enough to fit all of the items if width is wxCOL_WIDTH_AUTOSIZE.
409 Notice that setting the width of the first column is ignored as this
410 column is always resized to fill the space left by the other columns.
412 void SetColumnWidth(unsigned col
, int width
);
414 /// Get the current width of the given column in pixels.
415 int GetColumnWidth(unsigned col

418 Get the width appropriate for showing the given text.
420 This is typically used as second argument for AppendColumn() or with
423 int WidthFor(const wxString

) const;
429 Adding and removing items.
431 When adding items, the parent and text of the first column of the new item
432 must always be specified, the rest is optional.
434 Each item can have two images: one used for closed state and another
435 for opened one. Only the first one is ever used for the items that
436 don't have children. And both are not set by default.
438 It is also possible to associate arbitrary client data pointer with the
439 new item. It will be deleted by the control when the item is deleted
440 (either by an explicit DeleteItem() call or because the entire control

496 Methods for the tree navigation.
498 The tree has an invisible root item which is the hidden parent of all
499 top-level items in the tree. Starting from it it is possible to iterate
500 over all tree items using GetNextItem().
502 It is also possible to iterate over just the children of the given item
503 by using GetFirstChild() to get the first of them and then calling
504 GetNextSibling() to retrieve all the others.
508 /// Return the (never shown) root item.
509 wxTreeListItem
GetRootItem() const;
512 Return the parent of the given item.
514 All the tree items visible in the tree have valid parent items, only
515 the never shown root item has no parent.
517 wxTreeListItem
GetItemParent(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
520 Return the first child of the given item.
522 Item may be the root item.
524 Return value may be invalid if the item doesn't have any children.
526 wxTreeListItem
GetFirstChild(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
529 Return the next sibling of the given item.
531 Return value may be invalid if there are no more siblings.
533 wxTreeListItem
GetNextSibling(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
536 Return the first item in the tree.
538 This is the first child of the root item.
542 wxTreeListItem
GetFirstItem() const;
545 Get item after the given one in the depth-first tree-traversal order.
547 Calling this function starting with the result of GetFirstItem() allows
548 iterating over all items in the tree.
550 The iteration stops when this function returns an invalid item, i.e.
552 for ( wxTreeListItem item = tree->GetFirstItem();
554 item = tree->GetNextItem(item) )
556 ... Do something with every tree item ...
560 wxTreeListItem
GetNextItem(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
571 Return the text of the given item.
573 By default, returns the text of the first column but any other one can
574 be specified using @a col argument.
576 const wxString
& GetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, unsigned col
= 0) const;
579 Set the text of the specified column of the given item.
581 void SetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, unsigned col
, const wxString
& text
);
584 Set the text of the first column of the given item.
586 void SetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, const wxString
& text
);
589 Set the images for the given item.
591 See InsertItem() for the images parameters descriptions.
593 void SetItemImage(wxTreeListItem item
, int closed
, int opened
= NO_IMAGE
);
596 Get the data associated with the given item.
598 The returned pointer may be @NULL.
600 It must not be deleted by the caller as this will be done by the
603 wxClientData
* GetItemData(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
606 Set the data associated with the given item.
608 Previous client data, if any, is deleted when this function is called
609 so it may be used to delete the current item data object and reset it
610 by passing @NULL as @a data argument.
612 void SetItemData(wxTreeListItem item
, wxClientData
* data
);
618 Expanding and collapsing tree branches.
620 Notice that calling neither Expand() nor Collapse() method generates
626 Expand the given tree branch.
628 void Expand(wxTreeListItem item
);
631 Collapse the given tree branch.
633 void Collapse(wxTreeListItem item
);
636 Return whether the given item is expanded.
638 bool IsExpanded(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
646 The behaviour of the control is different in single selection mode (the
647 default) and multi-selection mode (if @c wxTL_MULTIPLE was specified
648 when creating it). Not all methods can be used in both modes and some
649 of those that can don't behave in the same way in two cases.
654 Return the currently selected item.
656 This method can't be used with multi-selection controls, use
657 GetSelections() instead.
659 The return value may be invalid if no item has been selected yet. Once
660 an item in a single selection control was selected, it will keep a
663 wxTreeListItem
GetSelection() const;
666 Fill in the provided array with all the selected items.
668 This method can be used in both single and multi-selection case.
670 The previous array contents is destroyed.
672 Returns the number of selected items.
674 unsigned GetSelections(wxTreeListItems
& selections
) const;
677 Select the given item.
679 In single selection mode, deselects any other selected items, in
680 multi-selection case it adds to the selection.
682 void Select(wxTreeListItem item
);
685 Deselect the given item.
687 This method can be used in multiple selection mode only.
689 void Unselect(wxTreeListItem item
);
692 Return true if the item is selected.
694 This method can be used in both single and multiple selection modes.
696 bool IsSelected(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
699 Select all the control items.
701 Can be only used in multi-selection mode.
706 Deselect all the control items.
708 Can be only used in multi-selection mode.
718 Methods in this section can only be used with the controls created with
724 Change the item checked state.
727 Valid non-root tree item.
729 One of wxCHK_CHECKED, wxCHK_UNCHECKED or, for the controls with
730 wxTL_3STATE or wxTL_USER_3STATE styles, wxCHK_UNDETERMINED.
732 void CheckItem(wxTreeListItem item
, wxCheckBoxState state
= wxCHK_CHECKED
);
735 Change the checked state of the given item and all its children.
737 This is the same as CheckItem() but checks or unchecks not only this
738 item itself but all its children recursively as well.
740 void CheckItemRecursively(wxTreeListItem item
,
741 wxCheckBoxState state
= wxCHK_CHECKED
);
744 Uncheck the given item.
746 This is synonymous with CheckItem(wxCHK_UNCHECKED).
748 void UncheckItem(wxTreeListItem item
);
751 Update the state of the parent item to reflect the checked state of its
754 This method updates the parent of this item recursively: if this item
755 and all its siblings are checked, the parent will become checked as
756 well. If this item and all its siblings are unchecked, the parent will
757 be unchecked. And if the siblings of this item are not all in the same
758 state, the parent will be switched to indeterminate state. And then the
759 same logic will be applied to the parents parent and so on recursively.
761 This is typically called when the state of the given item has changed
762 from EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED() handler in the controls which have
763 wxTL_3STATE flag. Notice that without this flag this function can't
764 work as it would be unable to set the state of a parent with both
765 checked and unchecked items so it's only allowed to call it when this
768 void UpdateItemParentStateRecursively(wxTreeListItem item
);
771 Return the checked state of the item.
773 The return value can be wxCHK_CHECKED, wxCHK_UNCHECKED or
776 wxCheckBoxState
GetCheckedState(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
779 Return true if all children of the given item are in the specified
782 This is especially useful for the controls with @c wxTL_3STATE style to
783 allow to decide whether the parent effective state should be the same
784 @a state, if all its children are in it, or ::wxCHK_UNDETERMINED.
786 @see UpdateItemParentStateRecursively()
788 bool AreAllChildrenInState(wxTreeListItem item
,
789 wxCheckBoxState state
) const;
796 If some control columns were added with wxCOL_SORTABLE flag, clicking
797 on them will automatically resort the control using the custom
798 comparator set by SetItemComparator() or by doing alphabetical
799 comparison by default.
801 In any case, i.e. even if the user can't sort the control by clicking
802 on its header, you may call SetSortColumn() to sort it programmatically
803 and call GetSortColumn() to determine whether it's sorted now and, if
804 so, by which column and in which order.
809 Set the column to use for sorting and the order in which to sort.
811 Calling this method resorts the control contents using the values of
812 the items in the specified column. Sorting uses custom comparator set
813 with SetItemComparator() or alphabetical comparison of items texts if
816 Notice that currently there is no way to reset sort order.
819 A valid column index.
820 @param ascendingOrder
821 Indicates whether the items should be sorted in ascending (A to Z)
822 or descending (Z to A) order.
824 void SetSortColumn(unsigned col
, bool ascendingOrder
= true);
827 Return the column currently used for sorting, if any.
829 If the control is currently unsorted, the function simply returns
830 @false and doesn't modify any of its output parameters.
833 Receives the index of the column used for sorting if non-@NULL.
834 @param ascendingOrder
835 Receives @true or @false depending on whether the items are sorted
836 in ascending or descending order.
838 @true if the control is sorted or @false if it isn't sorted at all.
840 bool GetSortColumn(unsigned* col
, bool* ascendingOrder
= NULL
);
843 Set the object to use for comparing the items.
845 This object will be used when the control is being sorted because the
846 user clicked on a sortable column or SetSortColumn() was called.
848 The provided pointer is stored by the control so the object it points
849 to must have a life-time equal or greater to that of the control
850 itself. In addition, the pointer can be @NULL to stop using custom
851 comparator and revert to the default alphabetical comparison.
853 void SetItemComparator(wxTreeListItemComparator
* comparator
);
861 This control itself is entirely covered by the "view window" which is
862 currently a wxDataViewCtrl but if you want to avoid relying on this to
863 allow your code to work with later versions which might not be
864 wxDataViewCtrl-based, use GetView() function only and only use
865 GetDataView() if you really need to call wxDataViewCtrl methods on it.
870 Return the view part of this control as a wxWindow.
872 This method always returns non-@NULL pointer once the window was
875 wxWindow
* GetView() const;
878 Return the view part of this control as wxDataViewCtrl.
880 This method may return @NULL in the future, non wxDataViewCtrl-based,
881 versions of this class, use GetView() unless you really need to use
882 wxDataViewCtrl methods on the returned object.
884 wxDataViewCtrl
* GetDataView() const;
892 Event generated by wxTreeListCtrl.
896 class wxTreeListEvent
: public wxNotifyEvent
902 Return the item affected by the event.
904 This is the item being selected, expanded, checked or activated
905 (depending on the event type).
907 wxTreeListItem
GetItem() const;
910 Return the previous state of the item checkbox.
912 This method can be used with @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED
915 Notice that the new state of the item can be retrieved using
916 wxTreeListCtrl::GetCheckedState().
918 wxCheckBoxState
GetOldCheckedState() const;
921 Return the column affected by the event.
923 This is currently only used with @c wxEVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED
