Class API¶

class wx.dataview.DataViewEvent(NotifyEvent)¶

Possible constructors:

DataViewEvent() -> None

DataViewEvent(evtType, dvc, column, item=DataViewItem()) -> None

DataViewEvent(evtType, dvc, item) -> None

DataViewEvent(event) -> None

This is the event class for the DataViewCtrl notifications.

Methods¶

__init__(self, *args, **kw)¶

Overloaded Implementations:

__init__ (self)

Default constructor, normally shouldn’t be used and mostly exists only for backwards compatibility.

Return type:: None

__init__ (self, evtType, dvc, column, item=DataViewItem())

Constructor for the events affecting columns (and possibly also items).

Parameters:

evtType (wx.EventType)
dvc (wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl)
column (wx.dataview.DataViewColumn)
item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem)

Return type:

None

__init__ (self, evtType, dvc, item)

Constructor for the events affecting only the items.

Parameters:

evtType (wx.EventType)
dvc (wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl)
item (wx.dataview.DataViewItem)

Return type:

None

__init__ (self, event)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:: event (wx.dataview.DataViewEvent)
Return type:: None

GetCacheFrom(self)¶

Return the first row that will be displayed.

Return type:: int

GetCacheTo(self)¶

Return the last row that will be displayed.

Return type:: int

GetColumn(self)¶

Returns the position of the column in the control or -1 if column field is unavailable for this event.

For wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_REORDERED, this is the new position of the column.

Return type:: int

GetDataBuffer(self)¶

Gets the data buffer for a drop data transfer

Return type:: Any

GetDataFormat(self)¶

Gets the wx.DataFormat during a drop operation.

Return type:: DataFormat

GetDataObject(self)¶

Return type:: DataObject

GetDataSize(self)¶

Gets the data size for a drop data transfer.

Return type:: int

GetDataViewColumn(self)¶

Returns a pointer to the wx.dataview.DataViewColumn from which the event was emitted or None.

Return type:: wx.dataview.DataViewColumn

GetDragFlags(self)¶

Return type:: int

GetDropEffect(self)¶

Returns the effect the user requested to happen to the dropped data.

This function can be used inside wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE and wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP handlers and returns whether the user is trying to copy (the return value is wx.DragCopy ) or move (if the return value is wx.DragMove ) the data.

Currently this is only available when using the generic version of wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl (used e.g. under MSW) and always returns wx.DragNone in the GTK and macOS native versions.

Return type:: DragResult

Added in version 2.9.4.

GetItem(self)¶

Returns the item affected by the event.

Notice that for wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE and wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP event handlers, the item may be invalid, indicating that the drop is about to happen outside of the item area.

Return type:: wx.dataview.DataViewItem

GetModel(self)¶

Returns the wx.dataview.DataViewModel associated with the event.

Return type:: wx.dataview.DataViewModel

GetPosition(self)¶

Returns the position of a context menu event in client coordinates.

Return type:: Point

GetProposedDropIndex(self)¶

Returns the index of the child item at which an item currently being dragged would be dropped.

This function can be used from wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_DROP_POSSIBLE handlers to determine the exact position of the item being dropped.

Note that it currently always returns wx.NOT_FOUND when using native GTK implementation of this control.

Return type:: int

Added in version 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.2.

GetValue(self)¶

Returns a reference to a value.

Return type:: DVCVariant

IsEditCancelled(self)¶

Can be used to determine whether the new value is going to be accepted in wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE handler.

Returns True if editing the item was cancelled or if the user tried to enter an invalid value (refused by wx.dataview.DataViewRenderer.Validate ). If this method returns False, it means that the value in the model is about to be changed to the new one.

Notice that wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_EDITING_DONE event handler can call wx.NotifyEvent.Veto to prevent this from happening.

Currently support for setting this field and for vetoing the change is only available in the generic version of wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl, i.e. under MSW but not GTK nor macOS.

Return type:: bool

Added in version 2.9.3.

SetCache(self, from_, to_)¶

Parameters:

from_ (int)
to_ (int)

Return type:

None

SetColumn(self, col)¶

Sets the column index associated with this event.

Parameters:: col (int)
Return type:: None

SetDataBuffer(self, buf)¶

Parameters:: buf
Return type:: None

SetDataFormat(self, format)¶

Parameters:: format (wx.DataFormat)
Return type:: None

SetDataObject(self, obj)¶

Set wx.DataObject for data transfer within a drag operation.

This method must be used inside a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG handler to associate the data object to be dragged with the item.

Note that the control takes ownership of the data object, i.e. obj must be heap-allocated and will be deleted by wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl itself.

Parameters:: obj (wx.DataObject)
Return type:: None

SetDataSize(self, size)¶

Parameters:: size (int)
Return type:: None

SetDataViewColumn(self, col)¶

For wxEVT_DATAVIEW_COLUMN_HEADER_CLICK only.

Parameters:: col (wx.dataview.DataViewColumn)
Return type:: None

SetDragFlags(self, flags)¶

Specify the kind of the drag operation to perform.

This method can be used inside a wxEVT_DATAVIEW_ITEM_BEGIN_DRAG handler in order to configure the drag operation. Valid values are wx.Drag_CopyOnly (default), wx.Drag_AllowMove (allow the data to be moved) and wx.Drag_DefaultMove .

Currently it is only honoured by the generic version of wx.dataview.DataViewCtrl (used e.g. under MSW) and not supported by the native GTK and macOS versions.
