Question

Lets say I have this treeCtrl:

Root

    Dogs
        Pug
        Lab

    Birds
        Parrot
        Eagle

How can I get a the path to the pug item?

EX: I should get something like,

["root","Dogs","Pug"]

(But using TreeCtrlIds)

Is there a function like,

getTreePath(Item)?

Answer 1

I use an iterative approach as well, but start with the currently selected item. It looks something like this:

pieces = []
item = self.tree.GetSelection()

while self.tree.GetItemParent(item):
  piece = self.tree.GetItemText(item)
  pieces.insert(0, piece)
  item = self.tree.GetItemParent(item)
