Dear all,
I'll apologise in advanced for the length of this email! However, it will
be useful for others as well to document peoples thoughts in one places as
part migrating from TableTreeViewer to TreeViewer.
I have been trying to migrate an editor that uses a TableTreeViewer with
two columns to use the TreeViewer with Tree/TreeColumn. I have some concerns
regarding differences in behaviour. I will bugzilla them unless people can
explain/correct my usage.
QUESTION 1: When I have an ITreeViewerListener registered with the listener,
during the listeners invocation I expect that event to have already happened
(so by collapsing a node in the tree, during the event handling the TreeItem
should be collapsed and AbstractTreeViewer.getExpandedState(Object) should
return false). This worked as expected for TableTreeViewer but not for TreeViewer.
QUESTION: When opening the TreeViewer on my data, I am presented with the
following structure
AAA
BBB
CCC
DDD
EEE
FFF
I need to get the y coords of the TreeItems to align some gef editparts in
a viewer that sits to the right of the TreeViewer. I have to iterate (depth-first)
over all the TreeItems (and their children) collecting them in a list. Nodes
AAA through to CCC all have negative y values ( as reported by treeItem.getBounds().y
). Actually, calling tree.getTopItem() returns the item for DDD. Shouldn't
AAA have a y value of zero? I have disabled the header BTW.
QUESTION 2: Is there any way of switching off / disabling rendering of the
tree lines (not the table lines) that connect parent to children as with
TableTree?
QUESTION 3: In my two column TreeViewer, I explicitly have to create TreeColumns
to show the second column as of the the TreeViewers construction. Is there
not a JFace level way of allowing this to happen automatically? I would have
thought the content provider should have been a union (in functionality)
of ITreeContentProvider and some TableContentProvider.
QUESTION 4: When I set an image into the second column of my Tree, an empty
space for all of the first column items is inserted (where its image would
have been so there is a gap between the +/- and the text for all items).
How can I use the image on the second column and get rid of the space created
in the first one?
QUESTION 5: Given two columns an a TreeViewer, if I set an image on an item
in the first column and then set the image to null, the image appears and
disappears as expected. For items on the second column, setting will display
the image but setting to null has no effect. Currently, I am setting an empty
image of the same size as my feedback image.
QUESTION 6: Is there any JFace level way of providing mouseover feedback
for TreeItems (in a TreeColumn). I am currently using an swt level listener
to set an image when the mouse is over an item.
QUESTION 7: Also, I am using the same listener code from Q6 to detect a single
click and display up a context menu (regardless of right or left click),
I want to hook the the menu code into a cell editor/modifier instead so that
when a click is made on the image in the second column, this creates the
menu rather than swt level code.
QUESTION 8: How do I increase the height of rows in the TreeVeiwer? In aTableTreeViewer,
I would set a dummy image on the first TableTreeItem and then dispose it.
Additionally, I don't want the gap to remain between the +/- controls and
the node text if it involves using a similar approach (of using an image
to size the row height).
Thanks and sorry for the length!

Indentation and question numbering was wrong, here is a revised version!!!

Dear all,
I'll apologise in advanced for the length of this email! However, it

QUESTION 2: When opening the TreeViewer on my data, I am presented with
the following structure
[-] AAA

">" = spaces...
I need to get the y coords of the TreeItems to align some gef
editparts in a viewer that sits to the right of the TreeViewer. I have
