@page overview_treectrl wxTreeCtrl Overview
|
|
|
|
Classes: wxTreeCtrl, wxImageList
|
|
|
|
The tree control displays its items in a tree like structure. Each item has
|
|
its own (optional) icon and a label. An item may be either collapsed (meaning
|
|
that its children are not visible) or expanded (meaning that its children are
|
|
shown). Each item in the tree is identified by its @c itemId which is of opaque
|
|
data type wxTreeItemId. You can test whether an item is valid by calling
|
|
wxTreeItemId::IsOk.
|
|
|
|
The items text and image may be retrieved and changed with (Get|Set)ItemText
|
|
and (Get|Set)ItemImage. In fact, an item may even have two images associated
|
|
with it: the normal one and another one for selected state which is
|
|
set/retrieved with (Get|Set)ItemSelectedImage functions, but this functionality
|
|
might be unavailable on some platforms.
|
|
|
|
Tree items have several attributes: an item may be selected or not, visible or
|
|
not, bold or not. It may also be expanded or collapsed. All these attributes
|
|
may be retrieved with the corresponding functions: IsSelected, IsVisible,
|
|
IsBold and IsExpanded. Only one item at a time may be selected, selecting
|
|
another one (with SelectItem) automatically unselects the previously selected
|
|
one.
|
|
|
|
In addition to its icon and label, a user-specific data structure may be
|
|
associated with all tree items. If you wish to do it, you should derive a class
|
|
from wxTreeItemData which is a very simple class having only one function
|
|
GetId() which returns the id of the item this data is associated with. This
|
|
data will be freed by the control itself when the associated item is deleted
|
|
(all items are deleted when the control is destroyed), so you shouldn't delete
|
|
it yourself (if you do it, you should call SetItemData(@NULL) to prevent the
|
|
tree from deleting the pointer second time). The associated data may be
|
|
retrieved with GetItemData() function.
|
|
|
|
Working with trees is relatively straightforward if all the items are added to
|
|
the tree at the moment of its creation. However, for large trees it may be
|
|
very inefficient. To improve the performance you may want to delay adding the
|
|
items to the tree until the branch containing the items is expanded: so, in the
|
|
beginning, only the root item is created (with AddRoot). Other items are added
|
|
when EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING event is received: then all items lying
|
|
immediately under the item being expanded should be added, but, of course, only
|
|
when this event is received for the first time for this item - otherwise, the
|
|
items would be added twice if the user expands/collapses/re-expands the branch.
|
|
|
|
The tree control provides functions for enumerating its items. There are 3
|
|
groups of enumeration functions: for the children of a given item, for the
|
|
sibling of the given item and for the visible items (those which are currently
|
|
shown to the user: an item may be invisible either because its branch is
|
|
collapsed or because it is scrolled out of view). Child enumeration functions
|
|
require the caller to give them a @e cookie parameter: it is a number which
|
|
is opaque to the caller but is used by the tree control itself to allow
|
|
multiple enumerations to run simultaneously (this is explicitly allowed). The
|
|
only thing to remember is that the @e cookie passed to GetFirstChild and to
|
|
GetNextChild should be the same variable (and that nothing should be done with
|
|
it by the user code).
|
|
|
|
Among other features of the tree control are: item sorting with SortChildren
|
|
which uses the user-defined comparison function OnCompareItems (by default the
|
|
comparison is the alphabetic comparison of tree labels), hit testing
|
|
(determining to which portion of the control the given point belongs, useful
|
|
for implementing drag-and-drop in the tree) with HitTest and editing of the
|
|
tree item labels in place (see EditLabel).
|
|
|
|
Finally, the tree control has a keyboard interface: the cursor navigation
|
|
(arrow) keys may be used to change the current selection. HOME and END are used
|
|
to go to the first/last sibling of the current item. '+', '-' and '*' expand,
|
|
collapse and toggle the current branch. Note, however, that DEL and INS keys do
|
|
nothing by default, but it is common to associate them with deleting an item
|
|
from a tree and inserting a new one into it.
