How can I detect scrolling triggered by TreeNavigator ? [message #496208]

I have a horizontally scrollable tree viewer; for each column on top of it a text field for filter conditions is shown. Horizontally scrolling the tree must sync the text field positions, which is done by adding a selection listener to horizontal scrollbar, which works well.

When I navigate the tree using a Tree Cursor, the tree is scrolled horizontally when cursor placed on a cell which is not fully horizontally visible, but I receive no scroll event.

Is there a way to detect this case without listening to the TreeCursor ?

Hi,

This scroll is triggered programmatically by the cursor, which is why
there's no Selection event from the scrollbar. Unfortunately the only other
way that I can think of to be notified of this is to add a PaintItem or
EraseItem listener, which is not great because these listeners will get
called frequently for cases that you don't care about. Adding a listener to
the cursor seems like a better solution in comparison.
