I have reached a point in my project from which I’m not sure how to continue. My current task is to give the user a possibility to create a folder structure for some custom projects. So basically the user should be able to add a new folder , add some data to the folder and of course visualize his project folder/data structure.
So basically I would need something similar to a jsTree.

Now my question is: is there any kind of widget already defined in wx that offers something similar to this? If (and I’m guessing there’s a high probability ) something like this doesn’t already exist, what do you recommend as an approach? My only idea so far would be to try to create this somehow using either a flexgridsizer with a lot of tweaking or some kind of recursive method that keeps adding sizers full of custom buttons until the folder tree ends , but I hope there are some better approaches to this problem.

    There are a few widgets you could use:

    wx.TreeCtrl which would probably do everything you are looking to do.

    An alternative widget that functions differently (Incorporates MVC) would be the wx.lib.mvctree.MVCTree

    There are even more again that you could customise (Most extending wx.TreeCtrl). Why don’t you have a look at the wxPython demo which will show you all the different controls works. It already shows the MVCTree control working with files.
