Object[] getChildren(Object parentElement)
The difference between this method and IStructuredContentProvider.getElements
is that getElements
is called to obtain the
tree viewer's root elements, whereas getChildren
is used
to obtain the children of a given parent element in the tree (including a root).
parentElement
- the parent elementObject getParent(Object element)
null
indicating that the parent can't be computed.
In this case the tree-structured viewer can't expand
a given node correctly if requested.element
- the elementnull
if it
has none or if the parent cannot be computedboolean hasChildren(Object element)
Intended as an optimization for when the viewer does not
need the actual children. Clients may be able to implement
this more efficiently than getChildren
.
element
- the elementtrue
if the given element has children,
and false
if it has no childrenGuidelines for using Eclipse APIs. Copyright (c) IBM Corp. and others 2000, 2006. All rights reserved.
