Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem class provides an item for use with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget convenience class.

Tree widget items are used to hold rows of information for tree widgets. Rows usually contain several columns of data, each of which can contain a text label and an icon.

The PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem class is a convenience class that replaces the QListViewItem class in Qt 3. It provides an item for use with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget class.

Items are usually constructed with a parent that is either a PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget (for top-level items) or a PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem (for items on lower levels of the tree). For example, the following code constructs a top-level item to represent cities of the world, and adds a entry for Oslo as a child item:

cities =  QTreeWidgetItem(treeWidget)
cities.setText(0, tr("Cities"))
osloItem =  QTreeWidgetItem(cities)
osloItem.setText(0, tr("Oslo"))
osloItem.setText(1, tr("Yes"))

Items can be added in a particular order by specifying the item they follow when they are constructed:

planets =  QTreeWidgetItem(treeWidget, cities)

planets.setText(0, tr("Planets"))

Each column in an item can have its own background brush which is set with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.setBackground() function. The current background brush can be found with PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.background() . The text label for each column can be rendered with its own font and brush. These are specified with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.setFont() and PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.setForeground() functions, and read with PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.font() and PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.foreground() .

The main difference between top-level items and those in lower levels of the tree is that a top-level item has no PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.parent() . This information can be used to tell the difference between items, and is useful to know when inserting and removing items from the tree. Children of an item can be removed with PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.takeChild() and inserted at a given index in the list of children with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.insertChild() function.

By default, items are enabled, selectable, checkable, and can be the source of a drag and drop operation. Each item’s flags can be changed by calling PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.setFlags() with the appropriate value (see Qt.ItemFlags ). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.setCheckState() function. The corresponding PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.checkState() function indicates whether the item is currently checked.

Subclassing

When subclassing PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem to provide custom items, it is possible to define new types for them so that they can be distinguished from standard items. The constructors for subclasses that require this feature need to call the base class constructor with a new type value equal to or greater than UserType .

class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(view, after[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(view, strings[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(view[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(parent, after[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(parent, strings[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(parent[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(strings[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem(other)
class PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem([type=Type])
Parameters:

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type and inserts it into the given parent after the preceding item.

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type and appends it to the items in the given parent . The given list of strings will be set as the item text for each column in the item.

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type and appends it to the items in the given parent .

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type that is inserted into the parent after the preceding child item.

Constructs a tree widget item and append it to the given parent . The given list of strings will be set as the item text for each column in the item.

Constructs a tree widget item and append it to the given parent .

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type . The item must be inserted into a tree widget. The given list of strings will be set as the item text for each column in the item.

Constructs a copy of other . Note that PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.type() and PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.treeWidget() are not copied.

This function is useful when reimplementing PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.clone() .

Constructs a tree widget item of the specified type . The item must be inserted into a tree widget.

PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.ItemType

This enum describes the types that are used to describe tree widget items.

Constant Description
QTreeWidgetItem.Type The default type for tree widget items.
QTreeWidgetItem.UserType The minimum value for custom types. Values below UserType are reserved by Qt.

You can define new user types in PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem subclasses to ensure that custom items are treated specially; for example, when items are sorted.

PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem.ChildIndicatorPolicy
Constant Description
QTreeWidgetItem.ShowIndicator The controls for expanding and collapsing will be shown for this item even if there are no children.
QTreeWidgetItem.DontShowIndicator The controls for expanding and collapsing will never be shown even if there are children. If the node is forced open the user will not be able to expand or collapse the item.
QTreeWidgetItem.DontShowIndicatorWhenChildless The controls for expanding and collapsing will be shown if the item contains children.
