XUL:Trees Cell Selection

From MozillaWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

One of our clients has requested the following, and we want to develop it on the trunk and get it checked in. We feel it would be a useful addition to the tree widget.

1) The ability to have a cell based selector in a tree, allowing us to navigate by keyboard across a single row to each adjacent column.

2) The ability to attach an event to the tree (or a cell) that would allow us to know which cell is currently selected when a key (such as enter) is pressed, based on its row and column.

Compare bug 80837. For attachment 115637 I added style rules to make it possible for a cell to be selected rather than a row. Unfortunately those rules were not used in favour of a pure CSS solution. You may find you want to reinstate them. --Neil
