Detailed Description¶

The PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget class provides a tree view that uses a predefined tree model.

The PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget class is a convenience class that provides a standard tree widget with a classic item-based interface similar to that used by the PySide.QtGui.QListView class in Qt 3. This class is based on Qt’s Model/View architecture and uses a default model to hold items, each of which is a PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem .

Developers who do not need the flexibility of the Model/View framework can use this class to create simple hierarchical lists very easily. A more flexible approach involves combining a PySide.QtGui.QTreeView with a standard item model. This allows the storage of data to be separated from its representation.

In its simplest form, a tree widget can be constructed in the following way:
treeWidget = QTreeWidget()
treeWidget.setColumnCount(1)
items = []
for i in range(10):
    items.append(QTreeWidgetItem(None, QStringList(QString("item: %1").arg(i))))
treeWidget.insertTopLevelItems(None, items)
Before items can be added to the tree widget, the number of columns must be set with PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget.setColumnCount() . This allows each item to have one or more labels or other decorations. The number of columns in use can be found with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget.columnCount() function.

The tree can have a header that contains a section for each column in the widget. It is easiest to set up the labels for each section by supplying a list of strings with PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget.setHeaderLabels() , but a custom header can be constructed with a PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidgetItem and inserted into the tree with the PySide.QtGui.QTreeWidget.setHeaderItem() function.

The items in the tree can be sorted by column according to a predefined sort order. If sorting is enabled, the user can sort the items by clicking on a column header. Sorting can be enabled or disabled by calling PySide.QtGui.QTreeView.setSortingEnabled() . The PySide.QtGui.QTreeView.isSortingEnabled() function indicates whether sorting is enabled.
