FS#219 - Treeview Editor: Observations

I suggest that:

  • Image index be changed to Image index when unselected
  • Selected be changed to Image index when selected

Selecting a node created earlier without a name is challenging: you have to click exactly in the right place. I suggest that when a node is created, Koda assign it a temporary name, e.g. Node1 (like Menu Editor). This name would be highlighted in the Text input box, ready for the user to enter his own name.

A related question: should Koda even allow a node to exist neither an image nor a name?

It would be user-friendly if images could be selected from a list: see how I have written the doc for To add a node.

It would be nice if icons showed in the treeview control as they do at run time.

Is image the correct word? Aren’t they always icons?

What does the Apply button do?

I suggest that:

It's ok, but too long for this dialog. This require some rearrange.

Just yesterday when tried your observations on ListView I thought about it. I think this worth to implement.

Why not? It's text can be changed dynamically later.

I will think.

I think correct. Control accept "ImageList", not "IconList".

What does the Apply button do?

Apply the nodes to control definitely :-)

Nodes do seem to "stick" OK without Apply. Is this the only Apply button in Koda?

How about:

  • A Image indices Group box within the Item Properties Group box
  • When selected and When not selected within the inner Group box

The problem is that an unnamed node is tricky to select with the mouse. Show an unnamed node as a few spaces would make the node easily clickable.

I think assigning some default name (ex. "item") will almost solve this.

I suggest "Node" because TreeView do have nodes. Also fits with the doc.

Node is ok.
