|phoenix_title|  **wx.lib.agw.customtreectrl.CustomTreeCtrl**
==========================================================================================================================================

:class:`CustomTreeCtrl` is a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`TreeCtrl`, with almost the

the native control, as it is a full owner-drawn tree control.

.. class:: CustomTreeCtrl(wx.ScrolledWindow)

   :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` is a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`TreeCtrl`, with almost the
   same base functionalities plus some more enhancements. This class does not rely on
   the native control, as it is a full owner-drawn tree control.

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=wx.DefaultSize, style=0, agwStyle=TR_DEFAULT_STYLE, validator=wx.DefaultValidator, name="CustomTreeCtrl")

      Default class constructor.
      
      :param wx.Window `parent`: parent window. Must not be ``None``;
      :param integer `id`: window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;
      :param `pos`: the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :type `pos`: tuple or :class:`wx.Point`
      :param `size`: the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :type `size`: tuple or :class:`wx.Size`
      :param integer `style`: the underlying :class:`ScrolledWindow` style;
      :param integer `agwStyle`: the AGW-specific window style for :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`. It can be a
       combination of the following bits:
      
       ============================== =========== ==================================================
       Window Styles                  Hex Value   Description
       ============================== =========== ==================================================
       ``TR_NO_BUTTONS``                      0x0 For convenience to document that no buttons are to be drawn.
       ``TR_SINGLE``                          0x0 For convenience 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.
       ``TR_HAS_BUTTONS``                     0x1 Use this style to show + and - buttons to the left of parent items.
       ``TR_NO_LINES``                        0x4 Use this style to hide vertical level connectors.
       ``TR_LINES_AT_ROOT``                   0x8 Use this style to show lines between root nodes. Only applicable if ``TR_HIDE_ROOT`` is set and ``TR_NO_LINES`` is not set.
       ``TR_DEFAULT_STYLE``                   0x9 The set of flags that are closest to the defaults for the native control for a particular toolkit.
       ``TR_TWIST_BUTTONS``                  0x10 Use old Mac-twist style buttons.
       ``TR_MULTIPLE``                       0x20 Use this style to allow a range of items to be selected. If a second range is selected, the current range, if any, is deselected.
       ``TR_EXTENDED``                       0x40 Use this style to allow disjoint items to be selected. (Only partially implemented; may not work in all cases).
       ``TR_HAS_VARIABLE_ROW_HEIGHT``        0x80 Use this style to cause row heights to be just big enough to fit the content. If not set, all rows use the largest row height. The default is that this flag is unset.
       ``TR_EDIT_LABELS``                   0x200 Use this style if you wish the user to be able to edit labels in the tree control.
       ``TR_ROW_LINES``                     0x400 Use this style to draw a contrasting border between displayed rows.
       ``TR_HIDE_ROOT``                     0x800 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.
       ``TR_FULL_ROW_HIGHLIGHT``           0x2000 Use this style to have the background colour and the selection highlight extend  over the entire horizontal row of the tree control window.
       ``TR_AUTO_CHECK_CHILD``             0x4000 Only meaningful for checkbox-type items: when a parent item is checked/unchecked its children are checked/unchecked as well.
       ``TR_AUTO_TOGGLE_CHILD``            0x8000 Only meaningful for checkbox-type items: when a parent item is checked/unchecked its children are toggled accordingly.
       ``TR_AUTO_CHECK_PARENT``           0x10000 Only meaningful for checkbox-type items: when a child item is checked/unchecked its parent item is checked/unchecked as well.
       ``TR_ALIGN_WINDOWS``               0x20000 Flag used to align windows (in items with windows) at the same horizontal position.
       ``TR_ALIGN_WINDOWS_RIGHT``         0x40000 Flag used to align windows (in items with windows) to the rightmost edge of :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`.
       ``TR_ELLIPSIZE_LONG_ITEMS``        0x80000 Flag used to ellipsize long items when the horizontal space for :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` is low.
       ``TR_TOOLTIP_ON_LONG_ITEMS``      0x100000 Flag used to show tooltips on long items when the horizontal space for :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` is low.

   .. method:: DoSelectItem(self, item, unselect_others=True, extended_select=False, from_key=False)

      Actually selects/unselects an item, sending ``EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGING`` and
      ``EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED`` events.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param bool `unselect_others`: if ``True``, all the other selected items are
       unselected.
      :param bool `extended_select`: ``True`` if the :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` is using the
       ``TR_EXTENDED`` style;

      :note: This method is used internally.


   .. method:: EnableItem(self, item, enable=True, torefresh=True)

      Globally enables/disables drawing of Windows Vista selections.
      
      :param bool `enable`: ``True`` to enable Vista-style selections, ``False`` to

   .. method:: ExpandAll(self)

      Expands all :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` items.
      
      :note: This method suppresses the ``EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING`` and
       ``EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDED`` events because expanding many items int the
       control would be too slow then.


   .. method:: ExpandAllChildren(self, item)

      Expands all the items children of the input item.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.
      
      :note: This method suppresses the ``EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDING`` and
       ``EVT_TREE_ITEM_EXPANDED`` events because expanding many items int the
       control would be too slow then.


   .. method:: FillArray(self, item, array=[])

   .. method:: Freeze(self)

      Freeze :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`.
      
      Freezes the window or, in other words, prevents any updates from taking place
      on screen, the window is not redrawn at all. :meth:`~Thaw` must be called to reenable
      window redrawing. Calls to these two functions may be nested.
      
      :note: This method is useful for visual appearance optimization (for example,
       it is a good idea to use it before doing many large text insertions in a row
       into a :class:`TextCtrl` under wxGTK) but is not implemented on all platforms nor
       for all controls so it is mostly just a hint to wxWidgets and not a mandatory
       directive.


   .. method:: GetAGWWindowStyleFlag(self)

      Returns the :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` style.
      
      :see: The :meth:`~CustomTreeCtrl.__init__` method for a list of possible style flags.

      .. todo:: Support background images also in stretch and centered modes.


   .. method:: GetBorderPen(self)

      Returns the pen used to draw the selected item border.
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`wx.Pen`.
      
      :note: The border pen is not used if the Windows Vista selection style is applied.


   .. method:: GetBoundingRect(self, item, textOnly=False)

      Retrieves the rectangle bounding the item.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param bool `textOnly`: if ``True``, only the rectangle around the item's label will
       be returned, otherwise the item's image is also taken into account.
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`wx.Rect`.
      
      :note: The rectangle coordinates are logical, not physical ones. So, for example,
       the `x` coordinate may be negative if the tree has a horizontal scrollbar and its
       position is not ``0``.


   .. method:: GetButtonsImageList(self)

      Returns the buttons image list associated with :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` (from
      which application-defined button images are taken).
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`wx.ImageList`.


   .. method:: GetChildrenCount(self, item, recursively=True)

      Returns the item children count.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param bool `recursively`: if ``True``, returns the total number of descendants,
       otherwise only one level of children is counted.


   .. classmethod:: GetClassDefaultAttributes(self)

      Returns the default font and colours which are used by the control. This is
      useful if you want to use the same font or colour in your own control as in
      a standard control -- which is a much better idea than hard coding specific
      colours or fonts which might look completely out of place on the users system,
      especially if it uses themes.
      
      This static method is "overridden'' in many derived classes and so calling,
      for example, :meth:`Button.GetClassDefaultAttributes` () will typically return the
      values appropriate for a button which will be normally different from those
      returned by, say, :meth:`ListCtrl.GetClassDefaultAttributes` ().
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`VisualAttributes`.
      
      :note: The :class:`VisualAttributes` structure has at least the fields `font`,
       `colFg` and `colBg`. All of them may be invalid if it was not possible to
       determine the default control appearance or, especially for the background
       colour, if the field doesn't make sense as is the case for `colBg` for the
       controls with themed background.
      
      :note: Overridden from :class:`wx.Control`.


   .. method:: GetConnectionPen(self)

      Returns the pen used to draw the connecting lines between items.
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`wx.Pen`.


   .. method:: GetControlBmp(self, checkbox=True, checked=False, enabled=True, x=16, y=16)

      Returns a native looking checkbox or radio button bitmap.
      
      :param bool `checkbox`: ``True`` to get a checkbox image, ``False`` for a radiobutton one;
      :param bool `checked`: ``True`` if the control is marked, ``False`` if it is not;
      :param bool `enabled`: ``True`` if the control is enabled, ``False`` if it is not;
      :param integer `x`: the width of the bitmap;
      :param integer `y`: the height of the bitmap.
      
      :return: An instance of :class:`wx.Bitmap`, representing a native looking checkbox or radiobutton.


   .. method:: GetCount(self)

      Returns the global number of items in the tree. 


   .. method:: GetDisabledColour(self)

   .. method:: GetEditControl(self)

      Returns a pointer to the edit :class:`TreeTextCtrl` if the item is being edited or
      ``None`` otherwise (it is assumed that no more than one item may be edited
      simultaneously).


   .. method:: GetFirstChild(self, item)

      Returns the item's first child and an integer value 'cookie'.
      Call :meth:`~CustomTreeCtrl.GetNextChild` for the next child using this very 'cookie' return
      value as an input.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.
      
      :return: A tuple with the first value being an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem` or ``None`` if there are no
       further children, and as second value an integer parameter 'cookie'.
      
      :note: This method returns ``None`` if there are no further children.


   .. method:: GetFirstGradientColour(self)

      :return: An instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem` or ``None`` if there are no
       visible items.


   .. method:: GetGradientStyle(self)

      Returns the gradient style for gradient-style selections.

   .. method:: GetHyperTextNewColour(self)

      Returns the colour used to render a non-visited hypertext item.

       when it is checked and ``wx.CHK_UNDETERMINED`` when it's in the undetermined
       state.
      
      :note: This method raises an exception when the function is used with a 2-state
       checkbox item.
      
      :note: This method is meaningful only for checkbox-like items.


   .. method:: GetItemBackgroundColour(self, item)

      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param bool `enable`: ``True`` to enable the associated window, ``False`` to
       disable it.


   .. method:: SetLeftImageList(self, imageList)

      Sets the image list for :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` filled with images to be used on
      the leftmost part of the client area. Any item can have a leftmost image associated
      with it.
      
      :param `imageList`: an instance of :class:`wx.ImageList`.


   .. method:: SetPyData(self, item, data)

      Sets the data associated to an item.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param object `data`: can be any Python object.


   .. method:: SetSecondGradientColour(self, colour=None)

      Sets the second gradient colour for gradient-style selections.
      
      :param `colour`: if not ``None``, a valid :class:`wx.Colour` instance. Otherwise,
       the colour generated is a slightly darker version of the :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`
       background colour.


   .. method:: SetSeparatorColour(self, colour)

      Sets the pen colour for separator-type items.
      
      :param `colour`: a valid instance of :class:`wx.Colour`.


   .. method:: SetSpacing(self, spacing)

      Sets the spacing between items in :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`.
      
      :param integer `spacing`: an integer representing the spacing between items in the tree.


   .. method:: SetStateImageList(self, imageList)

      Sets the state image list for :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` (from which application-defined
      state images are taken).
      
      :param `imageList`: an instance of :class:`wx.ImageList`.


   .. method:: ShouldInheritColours(self)

      Return ``True`` from here to allow the colours of this window to be
      changed by `InheritAttributes`, returning ``False`` forbids inheriting them
      from the parent window.
      
      The base class version returns ``False``, but this method is overridden in
      :class:`wx.Control` where it returns ``True``.
      
      :class:`CustomTreeCtrl` does not inherit colours from anyone.


   .. method:: SortChildren(self, item)

      Sorts the children of the given item using the :meth:`~CustomTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems` method of
      :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.
      
      :note: You should override the :meth:`~CustomTreeCtrl.OnCompareItems` method in your derived class to change
       the sort order (the default is ascending case-sensitive alphabetical order).


   .. method:: TagAllChildrenUntilLast(self, crt_item, last_item, select)

      Used internally. 


   .. method:: TagNextChildren(self, crt_item, last_item, select)

      Used internally. 


   .. method:: Thaw(self)

      Thaw :class:`CustomTreeCtrl`.
      
      Reenables window updating after a previous call to :meth:`~Freeze`. To really thaw the
      control, it must be called exactly the same number of times as :meth:`~Freeze`.
      
      :raise: `Exception` if :meth:`~Thaw` has been called without an un-matching :meth:`~Freeze`.


   .. method:: TileBackground(self, dc)

      Tiles the background image to fill all the available area.
      
      :param `dc`: an instance of :class:`wx.DC`.

   .. method:: Toggle(self, item)

      Toggles the item state (collapsed/expanded).
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.


   .. method:: ToggleItemSelection(self, item)

      Toggles the item selection.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.


   .. method:: UnCheckRadioParent(self, item, checked=False)

      Used internally to handle radio node parent correctly.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`;
      :param bool `checked`: ``True`` to check an item, ``False`` to uncheck it.


   .. method:: Unselect(self)

      Unselects the current selection. 


   .. method:: UnselectAll(self)

      Unselect all the items. 


   .. method:: UnselectAllChildren(self, item)

      Unselects all the children of the given item.
      
      :param `item`: an instance of :class:`GenericTreeItem`.
