TreeViewer with non-visible objects [message #230273] Thu, 08 February 2007 09:59 Go to next message

Hi.
I have a ContentOutlinePage with a TreeView and this shows my graphical
objects I have in my model just fine, so far so good.
But now I want to add nodes in the TreeView that does not show in the
Editor area, i.e I have model objects that have no graphical
representation and should only show up in the tree overview.
I have not found any way to directly add nodes to the tree, so I tried to
add nodes just as I do with the graphical elements, but then I need to add
something to the editor area as well which messes up some other things
like autolayout.
Quite hard to explain, but someone hopefully follows what I mean and might
have a clue if this is possible to achieve or not.

regards
/Johan

I faced similer problem with no obvious and effiecient solution.
The workaround i used is:
For the components which should not be visible on graphical editor i added
an empty white image for the graphical editor and placed them at 0,0
location then i made them non-selectable by user... I works fine but still
not very promising solution.

There is no restriction saying that you can only have tree items for items
in the editor. You don't need to add anything to the editor. The tree
editpart can return a different set of children in its getModelChildren()
method than the one in the editor.
