[Dynapi-Dev] Discussion on treenode

[Doug Melvin]

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 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?
