Overview (TreeTableView Model)

TreeTableView Model
Package	Description
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)?

Nov 28 '14 Add an abstract children caching model.
Views that show asynchronously loaded children nodes, have problems with visible refreshes of the children tree. CachedChildrenTreeModel is introduced to allow seamless refresh of children tree.
Apr 30 '13 Separate the value and HTML value and allow custom property editors.
So far the HTML value is automatically retrieved from the value provided by the TableModel when the value is a String and contains HTML code. This is not flexible enough and therefore we separate the value and HTML value by introduction of TableHTMLModel and TableHTMLModelFilter.
In addition to that, this API change also brings a prossibility to provide custom property editor, separately for every value. Two interfaces are introduced for this purpose: TablePropertyEditorsModel and TablePropertyEditorsModelFilter.
This also implies, that Models.CompoundModel now implements TableHTMLModel and TablePropertyEditorsModel.
In order to be able to fire changes in HTML value and also in r/w state, an additional constructor of ModelEvent.TableValueChanged is added, which takes the change mask. Three change masks are defined: VALUE_MASK, HTML_VALUE_MASK and IS_READ_ONLY_MASK. To get the change mask, ModelEvent.TableValueChanged.getChange() method is added.
Jun 7 '10 Custom table cell renderers and editors.
This API introduce TableRendererModel and TableRendererModelFilter that can be used to provide custom table cell renderers and cell editors.
Dec 15 '09 Drag and Drop support.
This API introduce ReorderableTreeModel and ReorderableTreeModelFilter that can be used to alter the order of children nodes.
Dec 4 '09 Drag and Drop support.
This API introduce DnDNodeModel and DnDNodeModelFilter that can be used by clients to implement Drag and Drop.
