Hello,
Simple enough question, that I can't seem to find the answer for.
I have a list control, and I would like to set the font size for the header, and for each list row I would like the list to expand to meet the size of the text on it. I changed the font of each list item, and it outgrew the row's height.
Thanks.
Steve.

The header should use whatever font is set for the whole wxListCtrl. I'm not sure I follow what you are describing for the rows, please provide a sample that shows the problem.

If I set the font for the text in a row to say, 10pt. The font is larger than the row, and only a portion of the text is displayed. I am probably just not setting up the rows themselves correctly.
Here's the code that builds the list:
self.entries = wxListCtrl(self,tID,style=wxLC_REPORT|wxSUNKEN_BORDER|wxLC_EDIT_LABELS)
self.entries.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(207,211,211))
self.entries.InsertColumn(0,"Subject")
self.entries.InsertColumn(1,"Date")
self.entries.InsertColumn(2,"Priority")
EVT_LIST_ITEM_ACTIVATED(self, tID, self.OnSingleClick)
self.Show(true)
And here is the function that populates it:
def Build_List(self):
myTest = pydb.Get_List_Entries(db,dbtable)
items = myTest.items()
kia = 5
for x in range(len(items)):
key,data = items
self.entries.InsertStringItem(x,data[0])
self.entries.SetStringItem(x,1,data[1])
val = "%d" % data[2]
self.entries.SetStringItem(x,2,val)
item = self.entries.GetItem(x)
if (data[2] > 3):
item.SetTextColour(wxRED)
elif (data[2] < 3):
item.SetTextColour(wxBLUE)
elif (data[2] == 3):
item.SetTextColour(wxColour(30,104,35))
if (kia == 5):
item.SetFont(wxFont(8, wxSWISS, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL, False, 'Comic Sans MS'))
item.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(242,244,244))
kia = 6
else:
item.SetFont(wxFont(8, wxSWISS, wxNORMAL, wxNORMAL, False, 'Comic Sans MS'))
item.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(219,252,248))
kia = 5
self.entries.SetItem(item)
self.entries.SetColumnWidth(0,wxLIST_AUTOSIZE)
self.entries.SetColumnWidth(1,wxLIST_AUTOSIZE)
self.entries.SetColumnWidth(2,65)
Thank you,
Steve.

Looks like it is assuming that the fonts for all items are all the same size, and that is the size of the Font assigned to the whole listctrl. You could change this by calling SetFont with the largest font you need to use, and then changing the font of all the other items to be the smaller fonts, but all rows will end up being that larger size...
In 2.5 there are some new classes that you can use to build lists with varilable row heights.
