Question

I have a ListCtrl that displays a list of items for the user to select. This works fine except that when the ctrl is not large enough to show all the items, I want it to expand downwards with a vertical scoll bar rather than using a horizontal scroll bar as it expands to the right.

The ListCtrl’s creation:

self.subjectList = wx.ListCtrl(self, self.ID_SUBJECT, style = wx.LC_LIST | wx.LC_SINGLE_SEL | wx.LC_VRULES) 

Items are inserted using wx.ListItem:

item = wx.ListItem() item.SetText(subject) item.SetData(id) item.SetWidth(200) self.subjectList.InsertItem(item) 

Answer 1

Use the wxLC_REPORT style.

import wx  class Test(wx.Frame):     def __init__(self):         wx.Frame.__init__(self, None)         self.test = wx.ListCtrl(self, style = wx.LC_REPORT | wx.LC_NO_HEADER)          for i in range(5):             self.test.InsertColumn(i, 'Col %d' % (i + 1))             self.test.SetColumnWidth(i, 200)           for i in range(0, 100, 5):             index = self.test.InsertStringItem(self.test.GetItemCount(), '')             for j in range(5):                 self.test.SetStringItem(index, j, str(i+j)*30)          self.Show()  app = wx.PySimpleApp() app.TopWindow = Test() app.MainLoop()
