wxPython – GetBoundingRect() method in wx.TreeCtrl

In this article, we are going to learn about GetBoundingRect() method in wx.TreeCtrl. GetBoundingRect() returns the rectangle bounding the item. If textOnly is True, only the rectangle around the item’s label will be returned, otherwise, the item’s image is also taken into account. The return value may be None if the rectangle was not successfully retrieved, such as if the item is currently not visible.

GetBoundingRect() takes two arguments item and textOnly.

Syntax:  

wx.TreeCtrl.GetBoundingRect(self, item, textOnly)

Parameters:

Parameter Type Description
item wx.TreeItemId                       item that we want to ensure to be visible.
textOnly                         boolean  If textOnly is True, only the rectangle around the item’s label will be returned, otherwise the item’s image is also taken into account.

Python




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"
        item3 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
        item4 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
        item5 = self.tree.AppendItem(item2, "SubItem")
        item6 = self.tree.AppendItem(item, "SubItem")
  
        # print bound rectangle pyObject
        print(self.tree.GetBoundingRect(item, False))
  
        # expand all nodes of the tree
        self.tree.ExpandAllChildren(item) 
          
        sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.VERTICAL) 
        sizer.Add(self.tree, 0, wx.EXPAND) 
        self.SetSizer(sizer) 
  
  
class MainFrame(wx.Frame): 
  
    def __init__(self): 
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent = None, title ='TreeCtrl Demo'
        panel = TreePanel(self
        self.Show() 
  
  
if __name__ == '__main__'
    app = wx.App(redirect = False
    frame = MainFrame() 
    app.MainLoop()


Output:
