45 Unique identifier of an item in wxTreeListCtrl.
47 This is an opaque class which can't be used by the application in any other
48 way than receiving or passing it to wxTreeListCtrl and checking for
62 Only the default constructor is publicly accessible.
64 Default constructing a wxTreeListItem creates an invalid item.
69 Return true if the item is valid.
76 @class wxTreeListItemComparator
78 Class defining sort order for the items in wxTreeListCtrl.
87 class wxTreeListItemComparator
93 Notice that this class is not copyable, comparators are not passed by
96 wxTreeListItemComparator();
99 Pure virtual function which must be overridden to define sort order.
101 The comparison function should return negative, null or positive value
102 depending on whether the first item is less than, equal to or greater
103 than the second one. The items should be compared using their values
104 for the given column.
107 The control whose contents is being sorted.
109 The column of this control used for sorting.
111 First item to compare.
113 Second item to compare.
115 A negative value if the first item is less than (i.e. should appear
116 above) the second one, zero if the two items are equal or a
117 positive value if the first item is greater than (i.e. should
118 appear below) the second one.

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

316 Like wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl this class uses wxImageList so if you
317 intend to use item icons with it, you must construct wxImageList
318 containing them first and then specify the indices of the icons in this
319 image list when adding the items later.
323 /// A constant indicating that no image should be used for an item.
324 static const int NO_IMAGE
= -1;
327 Sets the image list and gives its ownership to the control.
329 The image list assigned with this method will be automatically deleted
330 by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).
334 void AssignImageList(wxImageList
* imageList
);
339 The image list assigned with this method will @b not be deleted by the
340 control itself and you will need to delete it yourself, use
341 AssignImageList() to give the image list ownership to the control.
344 Image list to use, may be @NULL to not show any images any more.

357 Add a column with the given title and attributes.
362 The width of the column in pixels or the special
363 wxCOL_WIDTH_AUTOSIZE value indicating that the column should adjust

365 be always resized to fill all the space not taken by the other
366 columns, i.e. the width specified here is ignored for it.
368 Alignment of both the column header and its items.
370 Column flags, currently can include wxCOL_RESIZABLE to allow the
371 user to resize the column and wxCOL_SORTABLE to allow the user to

391 deleting the column failed for some other reason.
393 bool DeleteColumn(unsigned col

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

417 Get the width appropriate for showing the given text.
419 This is typically used as second argument for AppendColumn() or with
422 int WidthFor(const wxString
& text
) const;
428 Adding and removing items.
430 When adding items, the parent and text of the first column of the new item
431 must always be specified, the rest is optional.
433 Each item can have two images: one used for closed state and another
434 for opened one. Only the first one is ever used for the items that
435 don't have children. And both are not set by default.
437 It is also possible to associate arbitrary client data pointer with the
438 new item. It will be deleted by the control when the item is deleted
439 (either by an explicit DeleteItem() call or because the entire control

497 Methods for the tree navigation.
499 The tree has an invisible root item which is the hidden parent of all
500 top-level items in the tree. Starting from it it is possible to iterate
501 over all tree items using GetNextItem().
503 It is also possible to iterate over just the children of the given item
504 by using GetFirstChild() to get the first of them and then calling
505 GetNextSibling() to retrieve all the others.
509 /// Return the (never shown) root item.
510 wxTreeListItem
GetRootItem() const;
513 Return the parent of the given item.
515 All the tree items visible in the tree have valid parent items, only
516 the never shown root item has no parent.
518 wxTreeListItem
GetItemParent(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
521 Return the first child of the given item.
523 Item may be the root item.
525 Return value may be invalid if the item doesn't have any children.
527 wxTreeListItem
GetFirstChild(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
530 Return the next sibling of the given item.
532 Return value may be invalid if there are no more siblings.
534 wxTreeListItem
GetNextSibling(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
537 Return the first item in the tree.
539 This is the first child of the root item.
543 wxTreeListItem
GetFirstItem() const;
546 Get item after the given one in the depth-first tree-traversal order.
548 Calling this function starting with the result of GetFirstItem() allows
549 iterating over all items in the tree.
551 The iteration stops when this function returns an invalid item, i.e.
553 for ( wxTreeListItem item = tree->GetFirstItem();
555 item = tree->GetNextItem(item) )
557 ... Do something with every tree item ...
561 wxTreeListItem
GetNextItem(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
572 Return the text of the given item.
574 By default, returns the text of the first column but any other one can
575 be specified using @a col argument.
577 const wxString
& GetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, unsigned col
= 0) const;
580 Set the text of the specified column of the given item.
582 void SetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, unsigned col
, const wxString
& text
);
585 Set the text of the first column of the given item.
587 void SetItemText(wxTreeListItem item
, const wxString
& text
);
590 Set the images for the given item.
592 See InsertItem() for the images parameters descriptions.
594 void SetItemImage(wxTreeListItem item
, int closed
, int opened
= NO_IMAGE
);
597 Get the data associated with the given item.
599 The returned pointer may be @NULL.
601 It must not be deleted by the caller as this will be done by the
604 wxClientData
* GetItemData(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
607 Set the data associated with the given item.
609 Previous client data, if any, is deleted when this function is called
610 so it may be used to delete the current item data object and reset it
611 by passing @NULL as @a data argument.
613 void SetItemData(wxTreeListItem item
, wxClientData
* data
);
619 Expanding and collapsing tree branches.
621 Notice that calling neither Expand() nor Collapse() method generates
627 Expand the given tree branch.
629 void Expand(wxTreeListItem item
);
632 Collapse the given tree branch.
634 void Collapse(wxTreeListItem item
);
637 Return whether the given item is expanded.
639 bool IsExpanded(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
647 The behaviour of the control is different in single selection mode (the
648 default) and multi-selection mode (if @c wxTL_MULTIPLE was specified
649 when creating it). Not all methods can be used in both modes and some
650 of those that can don't behave in the same way in two cases.
655 Return the currently selected item.
657 This method can't be used with multi-selection controls, use
658 GetSelections() instead.
660 The return value may be invalid if no item has been selected yet. Once
661 an item in a single selection control was selected, it will keep a
664 wxTreeListItem
GetSelection() const;
667 Fill in the provided array with all the selected items.
669 This method can be used in both single and multi-selection case.
671 The previous array contents is destroyed.
673 Returns the number of selected items.
675 unsigned GetSelections(wxTreeListItems
& selections
) const;
678 Select the given item.
680 In single selection mode, deselects any other selected items, in
681 multi-selection case it adds to the selection.
683 void Select(wxTreeListItem item
);
686 Deselect the given item.
688 This method can be used in multiple selection mode only.
690 void Unselect(wxTreeListItem item
);
693 Return true if the item is selected.
695 This method can be used in both single and multiple selection modes.
697 bool IsSelected(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
700 Select all the control items.
702 Can be only used in multi-selection mode.
707 Deselect all the control items.
709 Can be only used in multi-selection mode.
719 Methods in this section can only be used with the controls created with
725 Change the item checked state.
728 Valid non-root tree item.
730 One of wxCHK_CHECKED, wxCHK_UNCHECKED or, for the controls with
731 wxTL_3STATE or wxTL_USER_3STATE styles, wxCHK_UNDETERMINED.
733 void CheckItem(wxTreeListItem item
, wxCheckBoxState state
= wxCHK_CHECKED
);
736 Change the checked state of the given item and all its children.
738 This is the same as CheckItem() but checks or unchecks not only this
739 item itself but all its children recursively as well.
741 void CheckItemRecursively(wxTreeListItem item
,
742 wxCheckBoxState state
= wxCHK_CHECKED
);
745 Uncheck the given item.
747 This is synonymous with CheckItem(wxCHK_UNCHECKED).
749 void UncheckItem(wxTreeListItem item
);
752 Update the state of the parent item to reflect the checked state of its
755 This method updates the parent of this item recursively: if this item
756 and all its siblings are checked, the parent will become checked as
757 well. If this item and all its siblings are unchecked, the parent will
758 be unchecked. And if the siblings of this item are not all in the same
759 state, the parent will be switched to indeterminate state. And then the
760 same logic will be applied to the parents parent and so on recursively.
762 This is typically called when the state of the given item has changed
763 from EVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED() handler in the controls which have
764 wxTL_3STATE flag. Notice that without this flag this function can't
765 work as it would be unable to set the state of a parent with both
766 checked and unchecked items so it's only allowed to call it when this
769 void UpdateItemParentStateRecursively(wxTreeListItem item
);
772 Return the checked state of the item.
774 The return value can be wxCHK_CHECKED, wxCHK_UNCHECKED or
777 wxCheckBoxState
GetCheckedState(wxTreeListItem item
) const;
780 Return true if all children of the given item are in the specified
783 This is especially useful for the controls with @c wxTL_3STATE style to
784 allow to decide whether the parent effective state should be the same
785 @a state, if all its children are in it, or ::wxCHK_UNDETERMINED.
787 @see UpdateItemParentStateRecursively()
789 bool AreAllChildrenInState(wxTreeListItem item
,
790 wxCheckBoxState state
) const;
797 If some control columns were added with wxCOL_SORTABLE flag, clicking
798 on them will automatically resort the control using the custom
799 comparator set by SetItemComparator() or by doing alphabetical
800 comparison by default.
802 In any case, i.e. even if the user can't sort the control by clicking
803 on its header, you may call SetSortColumn() to sort it programmatically
804 and call GetSortColumn() to determine whether it's sorted now and, if
805 so, by which column and in which order.
810 Set the column to use for sorting and the order in which to sort.
812 Calling this method resorts the control contents using the values of
813 the items in the specified column. Sorting uses custom comparator set
814 with SetItemComparator() or alphabetical comparison of items texts if
817 Notice that currently there is no way to reset sort order.
820 A valid column index.
821 @param ascendingOrder
822 Indicates whether the items should be sorted in ascending (A to Z)
823 or descending (Z to A) order.
825 void SetSortColumn(unsigned col
, bool ascendingOrder
= true);
828 Return the column currently used for sorting, if any.
830 If the control is currently unsorted, the function simply returns
831 @false and doesn't modify any of its output parameters.
834 Receives the index of the column used for sorting if non-@NULL.
835 @param ascendingOrder
836 Receives @true or @false depending on whether the items are sorted
837 in ascending or descending order.
839 @true if the control is sorted or @false if it isn't sorted at all.
841 bool GetSortColumn(unsigned* col
, bool* ascendingOrder
= NULL
);
844 Set the object to use for comparing the items.
846 This object will be used when the control is being sorted because the
847 user clicked on a sortable column or SetSortColumn() was called.
849 The provided pointer is stored by the control so the object it points
850 to must have a life-time equal or greater to that of the control
851 itself. In addition, the pointer can be @NULL to stop using custom
852 comparator and revert to the default alphabetical comparison.
854 void SetItemComparator(wxTreeListItemComparator
* comparator
);
862 This control itself is entirely covered by the "view window" which is
863 currently a wxDataViewCtrl but if you want to avoid relying on this to
864 allow your code to work with later versions which might not be
865 wxDataViewCtrl-based, use GetView() function only and only use
866 GetDataView() if you really need to call wxDataViewCtrl methods on it.
871 Return the view part of this control as a wxWindow.
873 This method always returns non-@NULL pointer once the window was
876 wxWindow
* GetView() const;
879 Return the view part of this control as wxDataViewCtrl.
881 This method may return @NULL in the future, non wxDataViewCtrl-based,
882 versions of this class, use GetView() unless you really need to use
883 wxDataViewCtrl methods on the returned object.
885 wxDataViewCtrl
* GetDataView() const;
893 Event generated by wxTreeListCtrl.
897 class wxTreeListEvent
: public wxNotifyEvent
903 Return the item affected by the event.
905 This is the item being selected, expanded, checked or activated
906 (depending on the event type).
908 wxTreeListItem
GetItem() const;
911 Return the previous state of the item checkbox.
913 This method can be used with @c wxEVT_TREELIST_ITEM_CHECKED
916 Notice that the new state of the item can be retrieved using
917 wxTreeListCtrl::GetCheckedState().
919 wxCheckBoxState
GetOldCheckedState() const;
922 Return the column affected by the event.
924 This is currently only used with @c wxEVT_TREELIST_COLUMN_SORTED
