14 A tree control presents information as a hierarchy, with items that may be expanded
15 to show further items. Items in a tree control are referenced by wxTreeItemId handles,
16 which may be tested for validity by calling wxTreeItemId::IsOk.
17
18 To intercept events from a tree control, use the event table macros described in \helpref{wxTreeEvent}{wxtreeevent}.

113
114 wxTreeCtrl class uses the standard common treeview control under Win32
115 implemented in the system library {\tt comctl32.dll}. Some versions of this
116 library are known to have bugs with handling the tree control colours: the
117 usual symptom is that the expanded items leave black (or otherwise incorrectly
118 coloured) background behind them, especially for the controls using non-default background colour. The recommended solution is to upgrade the {\tt comctl32.dll}
119 to a newer version: see
120 \urlref{http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=11916}{http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=11916}.

159 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::\destruct{wxTreeCtrl}}\label{wxtreectrldtor}
160
161 \func{void}{\destruct{wxTreeCtrl}}{\void}
162
163 Destructor, destroying the list control.
164
165
166 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::AddRoot}\label{wxtreectrladdroot}
167
168 \func{wxTreeItemId}{AddRoot}{\param{const wxString\&}{ text},
169 \param{int}{ image = -1}, \param{int}{ selImage = -1}, \param{wxTreeItemData*}{ data = {\tt NULL}}}
170
171 Adds the root node to the tree, returning the new item.
172
173 The {\it image} and {\it selImage} parameters are an index within
174 the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and
175 selected items, respectively.
176 If {\it image} > -1 and {\it selImage} is -1, the same image is used for
177 both selected and unselected items.
178
179
180 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::AppendItem}\label{wxtreectrlappenditem}
181
182 \func{wxTreeItemId}{AppendItem}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\& }{parent}, \param{const wxString\&}{ text},
183 \param{int}{ image = -1}, \param{int}{ selImage = -1}, \param{wxTreeItemData*}{ data = {\tt NULL}}}
184
185 Appends an item to the end of the branch identified by {\it parent}, return a new item id.
186
187 The {\it image} and {\it selImage} parameters are an index within
188 the normal image list specifying the image to use for unselected and
189 selected items, respectively.
190 If {\it image} > -1 and {\it selImage} is -1, the same image is used for
191 both selected and unselected items.

194 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::AssignButtonsImageList}\label{wxtreectrlassignbuttonsimagelist}
195
196 \func{void}{AssignButtonsImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}}
197
198 Sets the buttons image list. The button images assigned with this method will
199 be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate
200 (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).
201
202 Setting or assigning the button image list enables the display of image buttons.
203 Once enabled, the only way to disable the display of button images is to set
204 the button image list to {\tt NULL}.
205
206 This function is only available in the generic version.

211 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::AssignImageList}\label{wxtreectrlassignimagelist}
212
213 \func{void}{AssignImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}}
214
215 Sets the normal image list. Image list assigned with this method will
216 be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate
217 (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).
218
219 See also \helpref{SetImageList}{wxtreectrlsetimagelist}.

223
224 \func{void}{AssignStateImageList}{\param{wxImageList*}{ imageList}}
225
226 Sets the state image list. Image list assigned with this method will
227 be automatically deleted by wxTreeCtrl as appropriate
228 (i.e. it takes ownership of the list).

241 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::CollapseAndReset}\label{wxtreectrlcollapseandreset}

252 \param{long}{ style = wxTR\_HAS\_BUTTONS}, \param{const wxValidator\& }{validator = wxDefaultValidator}, \param{const wxString\& }{name = ``listCtrl"}}
253
254 Creates the tree control. See \helpref{wxTreeCtrl::wxTreeCtrl}{wxtreectrlconstr} for further details.
255
256
257 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::Delete}\label{wxtreectrldelete}
258
259 \func{void}{Delete}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}}
260
261 Deletes the specified item. A {\tt EVT\_TREE\_DELETE\_ITEM} event will be
262 generated.
263
264 This function may cause a subsequent call to GetNextChild to fail.
265
266
267 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::DeleteAllItems}\label{wxtreectrldeleteallitems}
268
269 \func{void}{DeleteAllItems}{\void}
270
271 Deletes all items in the control. Note that this may not generate
272 {\tt EVT\_TREE\_DELETE\_ITEM} events under some Windows versions although
273 normally such event is generated for each removed item.
274
275
276 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::DeleteChildren}\label{wxtreectrldeletechildren}
277
278 \func{void}{DeleteChildren}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\& }{item}}
279
280 Deletes all children of the given item (but not the item itself). Note that
281 this will {\bf not} generate any events unlike
282 \helpref{Delete}{wxtreectrldelete} method.
283
284 If you have called \helpref{wxTreeCtrl::SetItemHasChildren}{wxtreectrlsetitemhaschildren}, you
285 may need to call it again since {\it DeleteChildren} does not automatically
286 clear the setting.
287
288
289 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::EditLabel}\label{wxtreectrleditlabel}
290
291 \func{void}{EditLabel}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}}
292
293 Starts editing the label of the given item. This function generates a
294 EVT\_TREE\_BEGIN\_LABEL\_EDIT event which can be vetoed so that no
295 text control will appear for in-place editing.
296
297 If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave
298 the text control without changes, a EVT\_TREE\_END\_LABEL\_EDIT event
299 will be sent which can be vetoed as well.

349
350 \constfunc{bool}{GetBoundingRect}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{wxRect\& }{rect}, \param{bool }{textOnly = {\tt false}}}
351
352 Retrieves the rectangle bounding the {\it item}. If {\it textOnly} is {\tt true},
353 only the rectangle around the item's label will be returned, otherwise the
354 item's image is also taken into account.
355
356 The return value is {\tt true} if the rectangle was successfully retrieved or {\tt false}
357 if it was not (in this case {\it rect} is not changed) -- for example, if the
358 item is currently invisible.
359
360 Notice that the rectangle coordinates are logical, not physical ones. So, for
361 example, the x coordinate may be negative if the tree has a horizontal
362 scrollbar and its position is not $0$.
363
364 \pythonnote{The wxPython version of this method requires only the
365 {\tt item} and {\tt textOnly} parameters. The return value is either a
366 {\tt wxRect} object or {\tt None}.}

382
383 \constfunc{unsigned int}{GetChildrenCount}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{bool}{ recursively = {\tt true}}}
384
385 Returns the number of items in the branch. If {\it recursively} is {\tt true}, returns the total number
386 of descendants, otherwise only one level of children is counted.
387

389 \membersection{wxTreeCtrl::GetCount}\label{wxtreectrlgetcount}

400 Returns the edit control being currently used to edit a label. Returns {\tt NULL}
401 if no label is being edited.

403 {\bf NB:} It is currently only implemented for wxMSW.

407
408 \constfunc{wxTreeItemId}{GetFirstChild}{\param{const wxTreeItemId\&}{ item}, \param{wxTreeItemIdValue \& }{cookie}}
409
410 Returns the first child; call \helpref{wxTreeCtrl::GetNextChild}{wxtreectrlgetnextchild} for the next child.
411
412 For this enumeration function you must pass in a `cookie' parameter
413 which is opaque for the application but is necessary for the library
414 to make these functions reentrant (i.e. allow more than one
415 enumeration on one and the same object simultaneously). The cookie passed to
416 GetFirstChild and GetNextChild should be the same variable.
417
418 Returns an invalid tree item (i.e. IsOk() returns {\tt false}) if there are no further children.
