Performance of setItemCount in SWT Tree [message #479029] Sat, 08 August 2009 11:12 Go to next message

Hi,

I've been trying to create a virtual tree that can view very large
trees, with a large number of root items. However, I'm finding that
setItemCount is taking a very long time to execute, even if the items
aren't currently being viewed. This is on the WIN32 platform.

I've followed the approach described at:

http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-SWT-Virtual/Virtual- in-SWT.html

Here is the code I am using:

tree = new Tree(parent, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.BORDER);
tree.addListener(SWT.SetData, new Listener() {
@Override
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
TreeItem item = (TreeItem) event.item;
String name = "Item " + event.index;
item.setText(name);
}
});

long begin = System.currentTimeMillis();
tree.setItemCount(70000);
long end = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("Set item count took "+(end-begin)+" ms");

Typical times I am getting for running setItem count are upwards of 30
seconds, it seems that the even though the tree is virtual setItemCount
is creating all the items in one go.

Interestingly if I use a Table rather than a tree then there are no
performance issues at all. However, although this little snippet is
actually flat, in the actual final program the data will be a tree
(albeit a very long flat tree, with lots of roots).

So I was wondering whether anyone knew whether this is a known problem,
and whether there was any workaround to allow the use of large trees?


Thanks


Tom

Try this snippet. I tested and works fine!!!


import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Event;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Listener;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Tree;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TreeItem;

public class TreePopulateLazy {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Tree tree = new Tree(shell, SWT.VIRTUAL | SWT.BORDER);
tree.addListener(SWT.SetData, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
TreeItem item = (TreeItem) event.item;
TreeItem parentItem = item.getParentItem();
String text = null;
if (parentItem == null) {
text = "node " + tree.indexOf(item);
} else {
text = parentItem.getText() + " - " + parentItem.indexOf(item);
}
item.setText(text);
item.setItemCount(10);
}
});
tree.setItemCount(10000);
shell.setSize(400, 300);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
}

Hi Vicente,


I tried your example and it works fine with:

tree.setItemCount(10000);

However, as soon as I try to increase this to 70,000 I get the same
problems as in my test case: the call to setItemCount takes a long time.

The case I'm interested in is created a very large flat tree, with a
large number of roots.


Thanks


Tom

Hi,

Have a look at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet144.java?view=mark up&content-type=text%2Fvnd.viewcvs-markup&revision=H EAD

You meant 30 seconds or milisecons ? I'm asking because of I got 60-70ms for
1000000 items.

Thnaks,
Andrey Dulub

Hi,

Yes I've seen that, that's the example for a virtual Table.
Interestingly the Table control performs really well, it's the Tree
control that I'm having trouble with.

No, unfortunately it really does take 30 seconds to call
Tree.setItemCount(100000) :-S

Thanks

Tom
