CLASS:: TreeView
|
|
summary:: A view displaying a tree of items with columns
|
|
categories:: GUI>Views
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION::
|
|
|
|
A view that displays a hierarchy of items. It is divided into rows and column: each row represents an item, and each column represents a different data field of the items.
|
|
|
|
The items are represented in code by instances of link::Classes/TreeViewItem::, returned by the various TreeView methods. Top level items are added via the TreeView interface, while child items are added via the TreeViewItem interface, which also allows to manipulate items in more detail after their creation.
|
|
|
|
Items can be visually sorted with link::#-sort::, or by clicking on one of the column headers, if link::#-canSort:: is enabled.
|
|
|
|
Each item can hold other views in each of its data fields, which allows for rich graphical interaction. See link::Classes/TreeViewItem#-setView::.
