wxPython – ExpandAllChildren() method in wx.TreeCtrl

Last Updated : 25 Nov, 2020

In this article, we are going to learn about ExpandAllChildren() method associated with wx.TreeCtrl class of wxPython. ExpandAllChildren() method is used in order to expand all the nodes that comes under a particular item that is passed as a parameter in the method. Basically, this method expands the given item and all its children recursively.

This function takes the tree node item as a parameter to whom we want to expand recursively.

Syntax: wx.TreeCtrl.ExpandAllChildren(self,i tem)

Parameters:

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

Code Example:

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") 
  
        # expand root node 
        self.tree.Expand(self.root) 
  
        # 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()
