For the moment I came up with this solution, which seems to work,
however I am not very happy with it.
I need to define an "anchor" variable to remember from where the selection
started
class MyTreeview(ttk.Treeview):
def __init__(self, master, *kw, **args):
super().__init__(master, *kw, **args)
self.bind("<B1-Motion>", self.b1motion)
self.bind("<ButtonRelease-1>", self.release)
self.bind("<Up>",self.up)
self.bind("<Down>", self.down)
self.bind("<Shift-Key-Up>", self.selectUp)
self.bind("<Shift-Key-Down>",self.selectDown)
self._anchor = ""
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def b1motion(self, event):
# If selected item is the last one focused
# then ignore, otherwise Select is selecting everything
if self.identify_row(event.y) == self.focus(): return
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Select", self._w, event.x, event.y, "extend")
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def release(self, event):
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Release", self._w, event.x, event.y)
self._anchor = self.focus()
return "break"
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def up(self, event):
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Keynav", self._w, "up")
self._anchor = self.focus()
return "break"
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def down(self, event):
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Keynav", self._w, "down")
self._anchor = self.focus()
return "break"
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def selectUp(self, event):
if not self._anchor: self._anchor = self.focus()
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Keynav", self._w, "up")
if self.focus() != self._anchor:
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::SelectOp", self._w, self._anchor,
"extend")
return "break"
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
def selectDown(self, event):
if not self._anchor: self._anchor = self.focus()
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Keynav", self._w, "down")
if self.focus() != self._anchor:
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::SelectOp", self._w, self._anchor,
"extend")
return "break"

Subject: [Tkinter-discuss] Extend selection in ttk.Treeview
Hi all,
I am currently replacing some Listbox() with ttk.Treeview() however the
Treeview doesn't have the
"Shift-Up/Down" and "B1-Motion" capabilities to select with the keyboard
multiple items and with the mouse by click and drag.
Looking the treeview.tcl I've managed to add a binding for the B1-Motion which
seems to work,
however I failed to find a way to correctly replicate the Listbox behavior with
the Shift-Up/Down
This is one of my failed tries
Any suggestion?
class MyTreeview(ttk.TreeView):
def __init__(self, master, *kw, **args):
super().__init__(master, *kw, **args)
self.bind("<B1-Motion>", self.b1motion)
self.bind("<Shift-Key-Up>", self.selectUp)
self.bind("<Shift-Key-Down>", self.selectDown)
def b1motion(self, event):
if self.identify_row(event.y) == self.focus(): return
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Select", self._w, event.x, event.y, "extend")
def selectDown(self, event):
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::Keynav", self._w, "down")
item = self.focus()
self.tk.call("ttk::treeview::SelectOp", self._w, item, "extend")
return "break"
