Displays a hierarchical tree of items as a table. Each item is rendered as a row, divided into columns for each of the item's fields. Supports scrolling, custom cell, resizing columns, and drag and drop re-ordering of columns.

The following example creates a tree grid view, gives it a data provider, tells the columns how to interpret the data, and listens for when the selection changes:

var treeGridView = new TreeGridView();

treeGridView.dataProvider = new ArrayHierarchicalCollection([
	{ item: "Chicken breast", dept: "Meat", price: "5.90" },
	{ item: "Butter", dept: "Dairy", price: "4.69" },
	{ item: "Broccoli", dept: "Produce", price: "2.99" },
	{ item: "Whole Wheat Bread", dept: "Bakery", price: "2.49" }
]);
treeGridView.columns = new ArrayCollection([
	new TreeGridViewColumn("Item", (data) -> data.item),
	new TreeGridViewColumn("Department", (data) -> data.dept),
	new TreeGridViewColumn("Price", (data) -> data.price)
]);

treeGridView.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, (event:Event) -> {
	var treeGridView = cast(event.currentTarget, TreeGridView);
	trace("TreeGridView changed: " + treeGridView.selectedLocation + " " + treeGridView.selectedItem.item);
});

this.addChild(treeGridView);

Events:

openfl.events.Event.CHANGE

Dispatched when either TreeGridView.selectedItem or TreeGridView.selectedLocation changes.

feathers.events.TreeGridViewEvent.CELL_TRIGGER

Dispatched when the user taps or clicks a cell renderer in the tree grid view. The pointer must remain within the bounds of the cell renderer on release, and the tree grid view cannot scroll before release, or the gesture will be ignored.

feathers.events.TreeGridViewEvent.HEADER_TRIGGER

Dispatched when the user taps or clicks a header renderer in the tree grid view. The pointer must remain within the bounds of the header renderer on release, and the grid view cannot scroll before release, or the gesture will be ignored.

feathers.events.TreeViewEvent.BRANCH_OPEN

Dispatched when a branch is opened.

feathers.events.TreeViewEvent.BRANCH_CLOSE

Dispatched when a branch is closed.

By default, if no layout is provided by the time that the tree grid view initializes, a default layout that displays items vertically will be created.

The following example tells the list view to use a horizontal layout:

var layout = new VerticalListLayout();

isInvalid(?flag:InvalidationFlag):Bool

Indicates whether the control is pending validation or not. By default, returns true if any invalidation flag has been set. If you pass in a specific flag, returns true only if that flag has been set (others may be set too, but it checks the specific flag only. If all flags have been marked as invalid, always returns true.

The following example invalidates a component:

component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true

runWithoutInvalidation(callback:() ‑> Void):Void

Calls a function that temporarily disables invalidation. In other words, calls to setInvalid() will be ignored until the function returns.

.

setInvalid(?flag:InvalidationFlag):Void

Call this function to tell the UI control that a redraw is pending. The redraw will happen immediately before OpenFL renders the UI control to the screen. The validation system exists to ensure that multiple properties can be set together without redrawing multiple times in between each property change.

If you cannot wait until later for the validation to happen, you can call validate() to redraw immediately. As an example, you might want to validate immediately if you need to access the correct width or height values of the UI control, since these values are calculated during validation.

The following example invalidates a component:

component.setInvalid();
trace(component.isInvalid()); // true

.

private@:dox(show)setInvalidationFlag(flag:InvalidationFlag):Void

Sets an invalidation flag. This will not add the component to the validation queue. It only sets the flag. A subclass might use this function during draw() to manipulate the flags that its superclass sees.

private@:dox(show)update():Void

Override to customize layout and to adjust properties of children. Called when the component validates, if any flags have been marked to indicate that validation is pending.

	super.update();
