Functions for wxGrid class

wxGrid and its related classes are used for displaying and editing tabular data. They provide a rich set of features for display, editing, and interacting with a variety of data sources. For simple applications, and to help you get started, wxGrid is the only class you need to refer to directly. It will set up default instances of the other classes and manage them for you. For more complex applications you can derive your own classes for custom grid views, grid data tables, cell editors and renderers. The overview_grid has examples of simple and more complex applications, explains the relationship between the various grid classes and has a summary of the keyboard shortcuts and mouse functions provided by wxGrid.

A wxGridTableBase (not implemented in wx) class holds the actual data to be displayed by a wxGrid class. One or more wxGrid classes may act as a view for one table class. The default table class is called wxGridStringTable (not implemented in wx) and holds an array of strings. An instance of such a class is created by createGrid/4.

wxGridCellRenderer is the abstract base class for rendering contents in a cell. The following renderers are predefined:

The look of a cell can be further defined using wxGridCellAttr. An object of this type may be returned by wxGridTableBase::GetAttr() (not implemented in wx).

wxGridCellEditor is the abstract base class for editing the value of a cell. The following editors are predefined:

Please see wxGridEvent, wxGridSizeEvent (not implemented in wx), wxGridRangeSelectEvent (not implemented in wx), and wxGridEditorCreatedEvent (not implemented in wx) for the documentation of all event types you can use with wxGrid.

See: Overview grid, wxGridUpdateLocker (not implemented in wx)

This class is derived (and can use functions) from: wxScrolledWindow wxPanel wxWindow wxEvtHandler

              when This :: wxGrid(), Option :: {numCols, integer()} | {updateLabels, boolean()}.

Appends one or more new columns to the right of the grid.

The updateLabels argument is not used at present. If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override wxGridTableBase::AppendCols() (not implemented in wx). See insertCols/2 for further information.

Return: true on success or false if appending columns failed.

-spec appendRows(This) -> boolean() when This :: wxGrid().
-spec appendRows(This, [Option]) -> boolean()
              when This :: wxGrid(), Option :: {numRows, integer()} | {updateLabels, boolean()}.

Appends one or more new rows to the bottom of the grid.

The updateLabels argument is not used at present. If you are using a derived grid table class you will need to override wxGridTableBase::AppendRows() (not implemented in wx). See insertRows/2 for further information.

-spec beginBatch(This) -> ok when This :: wxGrid().

Increments the grid's batch count.

When the count is greater than zero repainting of the grid is suppressed. Each call to BeginBatch must be matched by a later call to endBatch/1. Code that does a lot of grid modification can be enclosed between beginBatch/1 and endBatch/1 calls to avoid screen flicker. The final endBatch/1 call will cause the grid to be repainted.

Notice that you should use wxGridUpdateLocker (not implemented in wx) which ensures that there is always a matching endBatch/1 call for this beginBatch/1 if possible instead of calling this method directly.

                  Option :: {selmode, wx:wx_enum()}.

Creates a grid with the specified initial number of rows and columns.

Call this directly after the grid constructor. When you use this function wxGrid will create and manage a simple table of string values for you. All of the grid data will be stored in memory.

For applications with more complex data types or relationships, or for dealing with very large datasets, you should derive your own grid table class and pass a table object to the grid with SetTable() (not implemented in wx) or AssignTable() (not implemented in wx).

-spec deleteCols(This) -> boolean() when This :: wxGrid().
-spec deleteCols(This, [Option]) -> boolean()
              when

enableCellEditControl(This)

View Source
-spec enableCellEditControl(This) -> ok when This :: wxGrid().
-spec enableCellEditControl(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxGrid(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

Enables or disables in-place editing of grid cell data.

Enabling in-place editing generates wxEVT_GRID_EDITOR_SHOWN and, if it isn't vetoed by the application, shows the in-place editor which allows the user to change the cell value.

Disabling in-place editing does nothing if the in-place editor isn't currently shown, otherwise the wxEVT_GRID_EDITOR_HIDDEN event is generated but, unlike the "shown" event, it can't be vetoed and the in-place editor is dismissed unconditionally.

Note that it is an error to call this function if the current cell is read-only, use canEnableCellControl/1 to check for this precondition.

-spec enableDragColSize(This) -> ok when This :: wxGrid().
-spec enableDragColSize(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxGrid(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

enableEditing(This, Edit)

View Source
-spec enableEditing(This, Edit) -> ok when This :: wxGrid(), Edit :: boolean().

Makes the grid globally editable or read-only.

If the edit argument is false this function sets the whole grid as read-only. If the argument is true the grid is set to the default state where cells may be editable. In the default state you can set single grid cells and whole rows and columns to be editable or read-only via wxGridCellAttr:setReadOnly/2. For single cells you can also use the shortcut function setReadOnly/4.

For more information about controlling grid cell attributes see the wxGridCellAttr class and the overview_grid.

-spec enableGridLines(This) -> ok when This :: wxGrid().
-spec enableGridLines(This, [Option]) -> ok when This :: wxGrid(), Option :: {enable, boolean()}.

Turns the drawing of grid lines on or off.

-spec endBatch(This) -> ok when This :: wxGrid().

Decrements the grid's batch count.

When the count is greater than zero repainting of the grid is suppressed. Each previous call to beginBatch/1 must be matched by a later call to endBatch/1. Code that does a lot of grid modification can be enclosed between beginBatch/1 and endBatch/1 calls to avoid screen flicker. The final endBatch/1 will cause the grid to be repainted.

-spec getSelectedCells(This) -> [{R :: integer(), C :: integer()}] when This :: wxGrid().

Returns an array of individually selected cells.

Notice that this array does not contain all the selected cells in general as it doesn't include the cells selected as part of column, row or block selection. You must use this method, getSelectedCols/1, getSelectedRows/1 and getSelectionBlockTopLeft/1 and getSelectionBlockBottomRight/1 methods to obtain the entire selection in general.

Please notice this behaviour is by design and is needed in order to support grids of arbitrary size (when an entire column is selected in a grid with a million of columns, we don't want to create an array with a million of entries in this function, instead it returns an empty array and getSelectedCols/1 returns an array containing one element).

The function can be slow for the big grids, use GetSelectedBlocks() (not implemented in wx) in the new code.

-spec getSelectedCols(This) -> [integer()] when This :: wxGrid().

Returns an array of selected columns.

Please notice that this method alone is not sufficient to find all the selected columns as it contains only the columns which were individually selected but not those being part of the block selection or being selected in virtue of all of their cells being selected individually, please see getSelectedCells/1 for more details.

                  Option :: {pos, integer()} | {numCols, integer()} | {updateLabels, boolean()}.

Inserts one or more new columns into a grid with the first new column at the specified position.

Notice that inserting the columns in the grid requires grid table cooperation: when this method is called, grid object begins by requesting the underlying grid table to insert new columns. If this is successful the table notifies the grid and the grid updates the display. For a default grid (one where you have called createGrid/4) this process is automatic. If you are using a custom grid table (specified with SetTable() (not implemented in wx) or AssignTable() (not implemented in wx)) then you must override wxGridTableBase::InsertCols() (not implemented in wx) in your derived table class.

Return: true if the columns were successfully inserted, false if an error occurred (most likely the table couldn't be updated).

                        Editor :: wxGridCellEditor:wxGridCellEditor().

Register a new data type.

The data types allow to naturally associate specific renderers and editors to the cells containing values of the given type. For example, the grid automatically registers a data type with the name wxGRID_VALUE_STRING which uses wxGridCellStringRenderer and wxGridCellTextEditor as its renderer and editor respectively - this is the data type used by all the cells of the default wxGridStringTable (not implemented in wx), so this renderer and editor are used by default for all grid cells.

However if a custom table returns wxGRID_VALUE_BOOL from its wxGridTableBase::GetTypeName() (not implemented in wx) method, then wxGridCellBoolRenderer and wxGridCellBoolEditor are used for it because the grid also registers a boolean data type with this name.

And as this mechanism is completely generic, you may register your own data types using your own custom renderers and editors. Just remember that the table must identify a cell as being of the given type for them to be used for this cell.
