A control used to show a set of internal TreeItems in a hierarchical structure. The tree items can be selected, expanded and collapsed. The tree can have multiple columns with custom controls like LineEdits, buttons and popups. It can be useful for structured displays and interactions.
Trees are built via code, using TreeItem objects to create the structure. They have a single root, but multiple roots can be simulated with hide_root:
To iterate over all the TreeItem objects in a Tree object, use TreeItem.get_next() and TreeItem.get_first_child() after getting the root through get_root(). You can use Object.free() on a TreeItem to remove it from the Tree.
Incremental search: Like ItemList and PopupMenu, Tree supports searching within the list while the control is focused. Press a key that matches the first letter of an item's name to select the first item starting with the given letter. After that point, there are two ways to perform incremental search: 1) Press the same key again before the timeout duration to select the next item starting with the same letter. 2) Press letter keys that match the rest of the word before the timeout duration to match to select the item in question directly. Both of these actions will be reset to the beginning of the list if the timeout duration has passed since the last keystroke was registered. You can adjust the timeout duration by changing ProjectSettings.gui/timers/incremental_search_max_interval_msec.
Emitted when a button on the tree was pressed (see TreeItem.add_button()).
Emitted when a cell is selected.
Emitted when TreeItem.propagate_check() is called. Connect to this signal to process the items that are affected when TreeItem.propagate_check() is invoked. The order that the items affected will be processed is as follows: the item that invoked the method, children of that item, and finally parents of that item.
Emitted when a column's title is clicked with either @GlobalScope.MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT or @GlobalScope.MOUSE_BUTTON_RIGHT.
Emitted when an item with TreeItem.CELL_MODE_CUSTOM is clicked with a mouse button.
Emitted when a cell with the TreeItem.CELL_MODE_CUSTOM is clicked to be edited.
Emitted when a mouse button is clicked in the empty space of the tree.
Emitted when an item is double-clicked, or selected with a ui_accept
input event (e.g. using Enter or Space on the keyboard).
Emitted when an item is collapsed by a click on the folding arrow.
Emitted when an item is edited.
Emitted when an item's icon is double-clicked. For a signal that emits when any part of the item is double-clicked, see item_activated.
Emitted when an item is selected with a mouse button.
Emitted when an item is selected.
Emitted instead of item_selected if select_mode is set to SELECT_MULTI.
Emitted when a left mouse button click does not select any item.
SELECT_SINGLE = 0
Allows selection of a single cell at a time. From the perspective of items, only a single item is allowed to be selected. And there is only one column selected in the selected item.
SELECT_ROW = 1
Allows selection of a single row at a time. From the perspective of items, only a single items is allowed to be selected. And all the columns are selected in the selected item.
SELECT_MULTI = 2
Allows selection of multiple cells at the same time. From the perspective of items, multiple items are allowed to be selected. And there can be multiple columns selected in each selected item.
DROP_MODE_DISABLED = 0
Disables all drop sections, but still allows to detect the "on item" drop section by get_drop_section_at_position().
DROP_MODE_ON_ITEM = 1
Enables the "on item" drop section. This drop section covers the entire item.
DROP_MODE_INBETWEEN = 2
Enables "above item" and "below item" drop sections. The "above item" drop section covers the top half of the item, and the "below item" drop section covers the bottom half.
If true
, the currently selected cell may be selected again.
If true
, a right mouse button click can select items.
If true
, allows navigating the Tree with letter keys through incremental search.
If true
, tree items with no tooltip assigned display their text as their tooltip. See also TreeItem.get_tooltip_text() and TreeItem.get_button_tooltip_text().
If true
, column titles are visible.
The number of columns.
The drop mode as an OR combination of flags. See DropModeFlags constants. Once dropping is done, reverts to DROP_MODE_DISABLED. Setting this during Control._can_drop_data() is recommended.
This controls the drop sections, i.e. the decision and drawing of possible drop locations based on the mouse position.
If true
, recursive folding is enabled for this Tree. Holding down Shift while clicking the fold arrow or using ui_right
/ui_left
shortcuts collapses or uncollapses the TreeItem and all its descendants.
If true
, the folding arrow is hidden.
If true
, the tree's root is hidden.
If true
, enables horizontal scrolling.
If true
, enables vertical scrolling.
Allows single or multiple selection. See the SelectMode constants.
Clears the tree. This removes all items.
Creates an item in the tree and adds it as a child of parent
, which can be either a valid TreeItem or null
.
If parent
is null
, the root item will be the parent, or the new item will be the root itself if the tree is empty.
The new item will be the index
-th child of parent, or it will be the last child if there are not enough siblings.
Deselects all tree items (rows and columns). In SELECT_MULTI mode also removes selection cursor.
Edits the selected tree item as if it was clicked.
Either the item must be set editable with TreeItem.set_editable() or force_edit
must be true
.
Returns true
if the item could be edited. Fails if no item is selected.
Makes the currently focused cell visible.
This will scroll the tree if necessary. In SELECT_ROW mode, this will not do horizontal scrolling, as all the cells in the selected row is focused logically.
Note: Despite the name of this method, the focus cursor itself is only visible in SELECT_MULTI mode.
Returns the button ID at position
, or -1 if no button is there.
Returns the column index at position
, or -1 if no item is there.
Returns the expand ratio assigned to the column.
Returns the column's title.
Returns the column title alignment.
Returns column title base writing direction.
Returns column title language code.
Returns the column's width in pixels.
Returns the rectangle for custom popups. Helper to create custom cell controls that display a popup. See TreeItem.set_cell_mode().
Returns the drop section at position
, or -100 if no item is there.
Values -1, 0, or 1 will be returned for the "above item", "on item", and "below item" drop sections, respectively. See DropModeFlags for a description of each drop section.
To get the item which the returned drop section is relative to, use get_item_at_position().
Returns the currently edited item. Can be used with item_edited to get the item that was modified.
Returns the column for the currently edited item.
Returns the rectangle area for the specified TreeItem. If column
is specified, only get the position and size of that column, otherwise get the rectangle containing all columns. If a button index is specified, the rectangle of that button will be returned.
Returns the tree item at the specified position (relative to the tree origin position).
Returns the next selected TreeItem after the given one, or null
if the end is reached.
If from
is null
, this returns the first selected item.
Returns the last pressed button's index.
Returns the tree's root item, or null
if the tree is empty.
Returns the current scrolling position.
Returns the currently focused item, or null
if no item is focused.
In SELECT_ROW and SELECT_SINGLE modes, the focused item is same as the selected item. In SELECT_MULTI mode, the focused item is the item under the focus cursor, not necessarily selected.
To get the currently selected item(s), use get_next_selected().
Returns the currently focused column, or -1 if no column is focused.
In SELECT_SINGLE mode, the focused column is the selected column. In SELECT_ROW mode, the focused column is always 0 if any item is selected. In SELECT_MULTI mode, the focused column is the column under the focus cursor, and there are not necessarily any column selected.
To tell whether a column of an item is selected, use TreeItem.is_selected().
Returns true
if the column has enabled clipping (see set_column_clip_content()).
Returns true
if the column has enabled expanding (see set_column_expand()).
Causes the Tree to jump to the specified TreeItem.
Allows to enable clipping for column's content, making the content size ignored.
Overrides the calculated minimum width of a column. It can be set to 0
to restore the default behavior. Columns that have the "Expand" flag will use their "min_width" in a similar fashion to Control.size_flags_stretch_ratio.
If true
, the column will have the "Expand" flag of Control. Columns that have the "Expand" flag will use their expand ratio in a similar fashion to Control.size_flags_stretch_ratio (see set_column_expand_ratio()).
Sets the relative expand ratio for a column. See set_column_expand().
Sets the title of a column.
Sets the column title alignment. Note that @GlobalScope.HORIZONTAL_ALIGNMENT_FILL is not supported for column titles.
Sets column title base writing direction.
Sets language code of column title used for line-breaking and text shaping algorithms, if left empty current locale is used instead.
Selects the specified TreeItem and column.
