Description

TreeTableView Model

org.netbeans.spi.viewmodel

Defines API for sharing of Tree Table View.

Support for tree table view. The view is described via models - TreeModel, TableModel and NodeModel. Filters can be applied to each model - TreeModelFilter, TableModelFilter and NodeModelFilter. The view listens on changes in the models and filters and updates itself accordingly.

What is New (see all changes)?

• Jun 2 '08 Extension to NodeModel.

  This API change is necessary for the redesign of the debugger UI and to be able to better control node expansions.

  Added classes:
  org.netbeans.spi.viewmodel.TreeExpansionModelFilter

  Changed classes:
  Models.TreeFeatures - final class with a private constructor changed to an abstract class.

  Added methods:
  Models.createNodes(),

  Added fields:
  ModelEvent.EXPANSION_MASK

• Jun 6 '07 Extension to NodeModel.

  Add ability to in-place rename and copy/paste functionality to nodes in debugger views. Also, the models needs to have a way to provide an icon with arbitrary extension. Therefore following methods are provided with new ExtendedNodeModel and ExtendedNodeModelFilter interfaces and are also added into CompoundModel: canRename(), canCopy(), canCut(), clipboardCopy(), clipboardCut(), getPasteTypes(), setName(), getIconBaseWithExtension().

• Jan 30 '06 getDisplayedMnemonic() method added to ColumnModel.

  In order to be able to provide mnemonics for columns in tree table views, Character ColumnModel.getDisplayedMnemonic() method was added to ColumnModel class.

• Aug 25 '05 CompoundModel enhanced with a possibility to set help ID.

  In order to have a help ID defined for the GUI component that is created from the compound model, it's necessary to be able to set that help ID on the compound model instance. Two methods are added for that purpose: CompoundModel Models.createCompoundModel (List, String) and String CompoundModel.getHelpId().

• Jul 21 '05 ModelEvent enhanced with more fine-grained changes

  NodeChanged events need to distinguish what node property has changed. Mask constant were added for display name, icon, short description and children properties. By default, mask that aggregates all these properties is used - to assure compatibility.

Use Cases
