Detailed Description

wxDataViewCtrl is a control to display data either in a tree like fashion or in a tabular form or both.

If you only need to display a simple tree structure with an API more like the older wxTreeCtrl class, then the specialized wxDataViewTreeCtrl can be used. Likewise, if you only want to display simple table structure you can use the specialized wxDataViewListCtrl class. Both wxDataViewTreeCtrl and wxDataViewListCtrl can be used without defining your own wxDataViewModel.

A wxDataViewItem is used to represent a (visible) item in the control.

Unlike wxListCtrl, wxDataViewCtrl doesn't get its data from the user through virtual functions or by setting it directly. Instead you need to write your own wxDataViewModel and associate it with this control. Then you need to add a number of wxDataViewColumn to this control to define what each column shall display. Each wxDataViewColumn in turn owns 1 instance of a wxDataViewRenderer to render its cells.

A number of standard renderers for rendering text, dates, images, toggle, a progress bar etc. are provided. Additionally, the user can write custom renderers deriving from wxDataViewCustomRenderer for displaying anything.

All data transfer from the control to the model and the user code is done through wxVariant which can be extended to support more data formats as necessary. Accordingly, all type information uses the strings returned from wxVariant::GetType.

This control supports single column sorting and on some platforms (currently only those using the generic version, i.e. not wxGTK nor wxOSX) also sorting by multiple columns at once. The latter must be explicitly enabled using AllowMultiColumnSort(), which will also indicate whether this feature is supported, as it changes the default behaviour of right clicking the column header to add or remove it to the set of columns used for sorting. If this behaviour is not appropriate, you may handle wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK event yourself to prevent it from happening. In this case you would presumably call ToggleSortByColumn() from some other event handler to still allow the user to configure sort order somehow.

Styles

This class supports the following styles:

  • wxDV_SINGLE:
    Single selection mode. This is the default.
  • wxDV_MULTIPLE:
    Multiple selection mode.
  • wxDV_ROW_LINES:
    Use alternating colours for rows if supported by platform and theme. Currently only supported by the native GTK and OS X implementations but not by the generic one.
  • wxDV_HORIZ_RULES:
    Display the separator lines between rows.
  • wxDV_VERT_RULES:
    Display the separator lines between columns.
  • wxDV_VARIABLE_LINE_HEIGHT:
    Allow variable line heights. This can be inefficient when displaying large number of items.
  • wxDV_NO_HEADER:
    Do not show column headers (which are shown by default).

Events emitted by this class

The following event handler macros redirect the events to member function handlers 'func' with prototypes like:

void handlerFuncName(wxDataViewEvent& event)

Event macros for events emitted by this class:

  • EVT_DATAVIEW_SELECTION_CHANGED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_SELECTION_CHANGED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_ACTIVATED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_ACTIVATED event. This event is triggered by double clicking an item or pressing some special key (usually "Enter") when it is focused.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_START_EDITING(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_START_EDITING event. This event can be vetoed in order to prevent editing on an item by item basis.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_STARTED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_STARTED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSING(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSING event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_COLLAPSED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDING(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDING event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EXPANDED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_VALUE_CHANGED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_VALUE_CHANGED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_CONTEXT_MENU event generated when the user right clicks inside the control. Notice that this menu is generated even if the click didn't occur on any valid item, in this case wxDataViewEvent::GetItem() simply returns an invalid item.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_CLICK(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_CLICK event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_RIGHT_CLICK event. Notice that currently this event is not generated in the native OS X versions of the control.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_SORTED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_SORTED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_REORDERED(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_REORDERED event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE event.
  • EVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP(id, func):
    Process a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP event.

Notice that this control doesn't allow to process generic mouse events such as wxEVT_LEFT_DOWN in all ports (notably it doesn't work in wxGTK). If you need to handle any mouse events not covered by the ones above, consider using a custom renderer for the cells that must handle them.

Member Function Documentation

bool wxDataViewCtrl::AllowMultiColumnSort ( bool  allow)

Call to allow using multiple columns for sorting.

When using multiple column for sorting, GetSortingColumns() method should be used to retrieve all the columns which should be used to effectively sort the data when processing the sorted event.

Currently multiple column sort is only implemented in the generic version, i.e. this functionality is not available when using the native wxDataViewCtrl implementation in wxGTK nor wxOSX.

Returns
true if sorting by multiple columns could be enabled, false otherwise, typically because this feature is not supported.

virtual void wxDataViewCtrl::Select ( const wxDataViewItem item)
virtual

Select the given item.

virtual

Select all items.

void wxDataViewCtrl::SetCurrentItem ( const wxDataViewItem item)

Changes the currently focused item.

The item parameter must be valid, there is no way to remove the current item from the control.

In single selection mode, calling this method is the same as calling Select() and is thus not very useful. In multiple selection mode this method only moves the current item however without changing the selection except under OS X where the current item is always selected, so calling SetCurrentItem() selects item if it hadn't been selected before.

See Also
GetCurrentItem()
Since
2.9.2
void wxDataViewCtrl::SetExpanderColumn ( wxDataViewColumn col)

Set which column shall contain the tree-like expanders.

void wxDataViewCtrl::SetIndent ( int  indent)

virtual bool wxDataViewCtrl::SetRowHeight ( int  rowHeight)
virtual

Sets the row height.

This function can only be used when all rows have the same height, i.e. when wxDV_VARIABLE_LINE_HEIGHT flag is not used.

Currently this is implemented in the generic and native GTK versions only and nothing is done (and false returned) when using OS X port.

Also notice that this method can only be used to increase the row height compared with the default one (as determined by the return value of wxDataViewRenderer::GetSize()), if it is set to a too small value then the minimum required by the renderers will be used.

Returns
true if the line height was changed or false otherwise.
