wxPython – EditLabel() method in wx.TreeCtrl

In this article we are going to learn about EditLabel() method associated with wx.TreeCtrl class of wxPython. Starts editing the label of the given item.

This function generates a EVT_TREE_BEGIN_LABEL_EDIT event which can be vetoed so that no text control will appear for in-place editing.

If the user changed the label (i.e. s/he does not press ESC or leave the text control without changes, a EVT_TREE_END_LABEL_EDIT event will be sent which can be vetoed as well.

Syntax: wx.TreeCtrl.EditLabel(self, item)

Parameters:

Parameters Type Description
item wx.TreeItemId Item that we want to associate editlabel with.

Python3




import wx
  
  
class MyTree(wx.TreeCtrl):
  
    def __init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style):
        wx.TreeCtrl.__init__(self, parent, id, pos, size, style)
  
  
class TreePanel(wx.Panel):
  
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.Panel.__init__(self, parent)
        # create tree control in window
        self.tree = MyTree(self, wx.ID_ANY, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize,
                           wx.TR_HAS_BUTTONS)
        # CREATE TREE ROOT
        self.root = self.tree.AddRoot('root')
        self.tree.SetPyData(self.root, ('key', 'value'))
  
        # add item to root
        item = self.tree.AppendItem(self.root, "Item")
        item2 = self.tree.AppendItem(self.root, "Item")
  
        # expand root
        self.tree.Expand(self.root)
  
        # start editlabel
