Method Detail

keys

List<K> keys()

Obtains child keys which will be passed to NodeList.node(K). If there is a change in the set of keys based on external events, fire a ChangeEvent.

Parameters:

key - a key which was included in NodeList.keys()

Returns:

a node which should represent that key visually or null if no such node can be created currently.
