TreeList

Description

The TreeList component is used to display tree-like hierarchical structures, such as the object inheritance tree.

Component functionality

Comments

This component is implemented by the TreeList class. The nodes are implemented by the TreeNode class, while the TreeColumn class implements the columns. The collection of columns is implemented by the TreeColumns class, the collection of nodes is implemented by the TreeNodes class. TreeColumns and TreeNodes classes are inherited from the base class. List.
