public class CellBrowser
extends AbstractCellTree
implements ProvidesResize, RequiresResize, HasAnimation

A "browsable" view of a tree in which only a single node per level may be open at one time.

This widget will only work in standards mode, which requires that the HTML page in which it is run have an explicit <!DOCTYPE> declaration.

Example

Trivial example

     * Get the {@link NodeInfo} that provides the children of the specified
     * value.
     */
    public <T> NodeInfo<?> getNodeInfo(T value) {
      /*
       * Create some data in a data provider. Use the parent value as a prefix
       * for the next level.
       */
      ListDataProvider<String> dataProvider = new ListDataProvider<String>();
      for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
        dataProvider.getList().add(value + "." + String.valueOf(i));
      }

      // Return a node info that pairs the data with a cell.
      return new DefaultNodeInfo<String>(dataProvider, new TextCell());
    }

    /**
     * Check if the specified value represents a leaf node. Leaf nodes cannot be
     * opened.
     */
    public boolean isLeaf(Object value) {
      // The maximum length of a value is ten characters.
      return value.toString().length() > 10;
    }
  }

  public void onModuleLoad() {
    // Create a model for the browser.
    TreeViewModel model = new CustomTreeModel();

    /*
     * Create the browser using the model. We specify the default value of the
     * hidden root node as "Item 1".
     */
    CellBrowser tree = new CellBrowser(model, "Item 1");

    // Add the tree to the root layout panel.
