Provides Swing UI components that render provided node hierarchy in different ways (as a tree, list, icons, set of properties and many other).
What is New (see all changes)?
- Oct 20 '14 Hide node icons in OutlineView and TreeView.
It is possible not to show icons in OutlineView and in TreeView and it's descendants. Methods OutlineView.setShowNodeIcons(boolean)/isShowNodeIcons() and NodeRenderer.setShowIcons(boolean)/isShowIcons() are added for this purpose.
- Nov 11 '13 Turn auto-complete in combo box editor off.
Now it's possible to turn off the default autocomplete for in-line combo box editors by using "canAutoComplete" attribute to Boolean.FALSE on appropriate FeatureDescriptor.
- Sep 6 '12 PropertySheet extensions
PropertySheet class has new methods which allow subclasses to provide custom popup menu, check expansion state, expand/collapse property categories, retrieve the selected property.
- Apr 4 '12 setPropertyColumnAttribute() method added to OutlineView
In order to conveniently set attributes to column properties, setPropertyColumnAttribute() method is added to OutlineView. After OutlineView.setProperties() method was deprecated, the preferred way how to add columns is via addPropertyColumn()/setPropertyColumns(). But then there's no Node.Property to set additional attributes on. This is why setPropertyColumnAttribute() method is introduced.
- Mar 8 '12 QuickSearch attached to OutlineView
Added OutlineView.isQuickSearchAllowed(), OutlineView.setQuickSearchAllowed() and OutlineView.setQuickSearchTableFilter() methods to control quick search functionality on OutlineView. Interface QuickSearchTableFilter introduced to provide custom table cell data for quick search.
