New QControl Request: Dynamic Tree

 

I often share the following rule of thumb for developing UIs with tree controls and maintaining a responsive UI:

 

  • If your tree has _hundreds_ of items, you'll probably be fine with Defer Panel Updates.
  • If your tree has _thousands_ of items, you'll probably be fine with Add Multiple Items to End.
  • If your tree has _tens of thousands_ of items, you'll probably want to redesign your UI to only show a subset of tree items, with a separate scrollbar and a bunch of G code to dynamically populate the tree as it is scrolled and/or the UI is resized.

 

It's that last item that I think would make a good QControl... A tree control that displays a very large set of data, but only actually populates what you can see. It would dynamically change contents based on scroll position (probably requiring a separate scrollbar control), item expand/collapse, and pane sizing.

Please, Can you add direct access to the QConrtol Help file in the QControl Creation Wizard dialog?
