Class Properties
key
Returns key for the element. This is a READONLY property. Keys can be any hashable object (basically anything except a list... tuples are ok, but not lists)

| RETURN | Any | The window's Key |
metadata
Metadata is an Element property that you can use at any time to hold any value
Parameter Descriptions| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| RETURN | Any | the current metadata value |
visible
Returns visibility state for the element. This is a READONLY property
Parameter Descriptions| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| RETURN | bool | Visibility state for element |
widget
Returns tkinter widget for the element. This is a READONLY property. The implementation is that the Widget member variable is returned. This is a backward compatible addition

add_treeview_data
Not a user function. Recursive method that inserts tree data into the tkinter treeview widget.
Parameter Descriptions
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| node | TreeData | The node to insert. Will insert all nodes from starting point downward, recursively |
bind
Used to add tkinter events to an Element. The tkinter specific data is in the Element's member variable user_bind_event
Parameter Descriptions
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| bind_string | str | The string tkinter expected in its bind function | |
| key_modifier | str | Additional data to be added to the element's key when event is returned | |
| propagate | bool | True | If True then tkinter will be told to propagate the event to the element |
block_focus
Enable or disable the element from getting focus by using the keyboard. If the block parameter is True, then this element will not be given focus by using the keyboard to go from one element to another. You CAN click on the element and utilize it.
Parameter Descriptions
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| block | bool | True | if True the element will not get focus via the keyboard |
expand
Causes the Element to expand to fill available space in the X and Y directions. Can specify which or both directions

update
Changes some of the settings for the Tree Element. Must call Window.Read or Window.Finalize prior
Changes will not be visible in your window until you call window.read or window.refresh.
If you change visibility, your element may MOVE. If you want it to remain stationary, use the "layout helper" function "pin" to ensure your element is "pinned" to that location in your layout so that it returns there when made visible.
