Hi,
I have a view with a tree (TreeViewer) and added a ViewContentProvider
which returns my
Objects and a LabelProvider which returns the labels for the objects.
As I work with a CheckBoxTreeViewer I want also implement the "checked" and
"grayed" things, but I don't know how? I see that I can implement a
ICheckable interface, but there is no IGrayable.
Who must provide the grayed and checked information? I think the
ViewContentProvider, but how? or must I return my Objects wrapped in
TreeItems?
Help Appreciated.
Thanks
Thomas

Hello Tod,
please, can You tell me how to achieve this handling of grayed/checked?
I have a CkeckboxTreeViewer based on a Tree (SWT.CHECK). When the tree is
displayed and I check an item no sub-/parent-item is checked/grayed.
Do I have to handle that by an ICheckboxStateListener?
I have to set some of the items checked according to the status of the
underlying element. I thought
ITreeViewerListener.treeExpanded(TreeExpansionEvent) to be a good place to
handle this, but this method is not called when the tree is constructed
(according to the value of setAutoExpandLevel(int).
Can You tell me, where's the best place to handle this? In the method
where the TreeViewer is created and its input is set, I don't know
anything of the model except the input.
You see, I'm absolutely confused and appreciate any help,
Michael

Hi Thomas,
first of all thanks a lot for replying that fast. I almost believed that I
completely misunderstood the whole thing.
I also tried to initialize the checkboxes in the treeExpanded() method but
that seems not sufficient because treeExpanded() is not called when the
tree is constructed (on the setInput() call). How did you solve that?
Do You agree with me when I say it would be much easier when the
CheckboxTreeViewer had it's own extended ILabelProvider (extended by a
method like "int getCheckedState (Object element)" returning 0,1,2 or 3
for normal, checked, grayed, checked+grayed)?
After all it seems like I'm not completely off the track.
Michael

I have a method initializeTree() which sets the checks and greys in the
tree based on the underlying objects. I call this method in
createPartControl() after setInput() and again every time in the
treeExpanded().

I was looking for that the whole time because I saw, content is coming
so easy to the tree, labels too, so there must be a way to connect the
state of the objects with the tree items state.

No I don't think so. But I think you are like myself still at the
beginning, and it's not always fun to get into new complex matter.
Cheers

I get it up and running now in the same way that you mentioned.
Thanks a lot for your help,
