Class TreeViewer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    IInputProvider, IInputSelectionProvider, IPostSelectionProvider, ISelectionProvider
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    CheckboxTreeViewer, CommonViewer, DiffTreeViewer

    public class TreeViewer
    extends AbstractTreeViewer
    A concrete viewer based on an SWT Tree control.

    This class is not intended to be subclassed outside the viewer framework. It is designed to be instantiated with a pre-existing SWT tree control and configured with a domain-specific content provider, label provider, element filter (optional), and element sorter (optional).

    As of 3.2, TreeViewer supports multiple equal elements (each with a different parent chain) in the tree. This support requires that clients enable the element map by calling setUseHashlookup(true).

    Content providers for tree viewers must implement either the ITreeContentProvider interface, (as of 3.2) the ILazyTreeContentProvider interface, or (as of 3.3) the ILazyTreePathContentProvider. If the content provider is an ILazyTreeContentProvider or an ILazyTreePathContentProvider, the underlying Tree must be created using the SWT.VIRTUAL style bit, the tree viewer will not support sorting or filtering, and hash lookup must be enabled by calling StructuredViewer.setUseHashlookup(boolean).

    Users setting up an editable tree with more than 1 column have to pass the SWT.FULL_SELECTION style bit

    Restriction:
    This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.

        For a TreeViewer with a tree with the VIRTUAL style bit set, replace the given parent's child at index with the given element. If the given parent is this viewer's input or an empty tree path, this will replace the root element at the given index.

        This method should be called by implementers of ILazyTreeContentProvider to populate this viewer.

        Parameters:
        parentElementOrTreePath - the parent of the element that should be updated, or the tree path to that parent

        public boolean isExpandable​(Object element)
        Description copied from class: AbstractTreeViewer
        Return whether the tree node representing the given element or path can be expanded. Clients should query expandability by path if the viewer's content provider is an ITreePathContentProvider.

        Overrides:
        isExpandable in class AbstractTreeViewer
        Parameters:
        element - the element or path
        Returns:

        Overrides:
        getParentElement in class AbstractTreeViewer
        Parameters:
