wxPython - EnsureVisible() method in wx.TreeCtrl

In wxPython, wx.TreeCtrl is a widget used to represent hierarchical data as a tree. The EnsureVisible() method of wx.TreeCtrl is designed to make sure a particular item in the tree is visible to the user by scrolling the tree if necessary.

If the tree item is already visible, then calling this method has no effect. If the tree item is not currently visible, this method will scroll the tree control vertically (and possibly horizontally) to ensure that the item becomes visible.

Here's a basic example of how you might use the EnsureVisible() method with wx.TreeCtrl:

import wx

class TreeFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(TreeFrame, self).__init__(parent, title="TreeCtrl Example", size=(400, 400))

        # Create a TreeCtrl
        self.tree = wx.TreeCtrl(self)
        
        # Add some items to the tree
        root = self.tree.AddRoot("Root")
        child1 = self.tree.AppendItem(root, "Child 1")
        child2 = self.tree.AppendItem(root, "Child 2")

        # Add some grandchildren to make tree bigger
        for i in range(50):
            self.tree.AppendItem(child2, f"Grandchild {i+1}")

        # Ensure that the last grandchild is visible
        self.tree.EnsureVisible(self.tree.GetLastChild(child2))

app = wx.App(False)
frame = TreeFrame(None)
frame.Show()
app.MainLoop()

In this example, we've created a basic wx.TreeCtrl with a root item, two children, and multiple grandchildren under the second child. The line self.tree.EnsureVisible(self.tree.GetLastChild(child2)) ensures that the last grandchild is visible in the tree control when the frame is shown.

This is especially useful in situations where you might be programmatically selecting an item deep in a large tree, and you want to make sure the user can immediately see that item without having to manually scroll through the tree.
