[Dynapi-Dev] Discussion on treenode

[Doug M. <do...@cr...>]

The following is always up for debate.
I only post it so as to get any feedback..
I would love to see more than two people take an interest=20
in such a complext and major component of the DynAPI.

That said.

I don't like the name treenode. I honestly don't think htere is ever a =
case where you will use only one node of a tree.

I move to name the new widget DynTree.
The DynTree will actually consist of two objects. Both will be declared =
in one file for simplicity.
The two objects are:
DynTree
and
DynNode

The DynTree will hold all of the the tree manipulation functionality:
-opening and closing branches
-adding and removing nodes, ect.

The DynNode will be very simple. It will have content.
This allows the actuall size of a rendered tree to be reduced as a lot =
of code will only be instanciated once per tree. This should allow a =
N-numbered tree to be somewhat slimmer and faster than in the previous =
version.

Once I have built an outline of what I intend to code I will post said =
outline for further discussion.

Unless you want to simply give a dinasour like me free-reign? :-)

The first version will be a 'light' version using only + and - signs =
with no images.
As always, there will be a future 'skinable' version.

WE can start a discussion about skinning methedology and standards any =
time now. :-)

With so few active developers, we may get a standard hammered out in =
short-order, no?
