Detailed Description

A widget that represents a navigatable tree.

WTree provides a tree widget, and coordinates selection functionality.

Unlike the MVC-based WTreeView, the tree renders a widget hierarchy, rather than a hierarhical standard model. This provides extra flexibility (as any widget can be used as contents), at the cost of server-side, client-side and bandwidth resources (especially for large tree tables).

The tree is implemented as a hierarchy of WTreeNode widgets.

Selection is rendered by calling WTreeNode::renderSelected(bool). Only tree nodes that are selectable may participate in the selection.

Usage example:

auto folderIcon = std::make_unique<Wt::WIconPair>(
                    "icons/yellow-folder-closed.png",
                    "icons/yellow-folder-open.png",
                    false);
 
auto tree = std::make_unique<Wt::WTree>();
tree->setSelectionMode(Wt::SelectionMode::Single);
 
auto rootPtr = std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("Tree root", std::move(folderIcon));
Wt::WTreeNode *root = rootPtr.get();
root->setStyleClass("example-tree");
tree->setTreeRoot(std::move(rootPtr));
root->label()->setTextFormat(Wt::TextFormat::Plain);
root->setImagePack("resources/");
root->setLoadPolicy(Wt::ContentLoading::NextLevel);
root->addChildNode(std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("one"));
root->addChildNode(std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("two"));
 
auto three = std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("three");
three->addChildNode(std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("three: one"));
three->addChildNode(std::make_unique<Wt::WTreeNode>("three: two"));
root->addChildNode(std::move(three));
 
root->expand();
