Hi all,
I have been working on trying to get my model too behave like a tree table. I 
have tried several different approaches but I must be missing something or some 
point? Here's what I'm seeing:

If I wrap my model objects in a Task wrapper as shown in the example, I get a 
great table with all the data laid out as expected. This is because each Task 
object contains a row of objects that match up with the columns defined in the 
Factory class. The XViewer logic loops over the defined column identifiers and 
sends the same wrapper object to my getColumnText in my label provider with a 
different column identifier which queues me on what data to request from the 
wrapper object. However, for each column defined, it also sends the same 
wrapper object to my content provider methods, but the wrapper has no 
relationship to my model? The column objects inside my wrapper do but the 
interface only allows for one relationship to be passed out and besides, the 
objects inside the wrapper are a tiny portion of the overall model?

If I redesign my input so that the relationships between the objects can be 
understood by the tree viewer, such as an array of arrays or a linear array 
with the root node being the first object in my list then I actually get my 
model objects to my content provider code and can enforce the relationships 
from there. However I get the same object sent to my label provider for the 
number of columns defined (with a different column identifier of course) so I 
get row data that is unidentified for all but one column? I get a node that I 
can expand/collapse based on the definition set in my content provider but, of 
course most of the data is garbled?

I'm I missing something here? I don't see how to separate the table from the 
tree if my content provider getChildren gets called with the same object times 
the number of columns that exist. Anyone have an example of XViewer behaving as 
a tree table? I'm probably just missing the big picture here but I've walked 
through the code several times in the debugger and it is not clear to me how to 
get the tree and table part to work independently of each other?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
