Hi,
I am trying to convert from using the TableTreeViewer in 3.01 to the
TreeViewer in 3.1. The TreeViewer appears to have an odd behavior with
respect to its Label Providers.
If I implement an ILabelProvider, and write the getText method within it, it
is called for all of the elements in the tree, including the top level
elements that are returned by the ContentProvider's getElements call.
However, I would assume that I need the ITableLabelProvider because
eventually I will have more than one column in the tree.
But, if I implement an ITableLabelProvider, the getColumnText is never
called for any top level element, it is only called when child elements need
to be drawn. This was not the case with the TableTreeViewer, the
getColumnText was called for the top level elements in addition to the other
elements.
I am wondering if this is normal behavior or a bug, and in any case, how can
I get around this? Any ideas? Has anyone worked with this yet?
Thanks,
Agnes

Agnes Freese:
I never used new TreeViewer with table functionality myself and sure
that someone from SWT team will give you better answer, but for now I
can say that new Tree is custom draw hack, so probably this is why it
requires strings only when it needs them in painting.
Look yourself in Tree source, search for OS.NM_CUSTOMDRAW

Hi Konstantin,
As it turned out the problem was with my initialization code. So, this does
actually load correctly.
I implemented ITableLabelProvider and this was called correctly once I fixed
my code. I still have to redo the DND and some other things, but it does
appear to be working for now.
Thanks,
Agnes
