Description:


somewhat like a FileSelectionInList; but specialized for hierarchical (i.e. tree-like)
lists and adds the functions to show/hide subtrees.
Requires SelectionInTree as model and FileSelectionItem (or compatible) list entries.

You can define your own TreeItem instead of using the default class FileSelectionItem
by setting the class through to #itemClass:

Class protocol:

constants
o  monitoringDelayTime
default delay time of monitoring task in seconds

Instance protocol:

accessing
o  changeDirectory: aPathname
change the root directory; try to reuse old hierarchy list and
the selection in case of a single selection. The pathname must
be a directory otherwise the root directory is set to nil

o  directory
get the full pathname of the root directory

o  directory: aPath
change the root directory of the selection tree to the full pathName,
aPath. The pathname must be a directory otherwise the root directory
is set to nil.

o  itemClass: anItemClass
set itemClass to be used

o  pathnameAtIndex: anIndex
returns pathname at an index or nil

accessing-monitoring
o  monitoring
returns true if monitor process is running

o  monitoring: aBoolean
enable or disable monitoring

o  monitoringDelayTime
delay time of monitoring task in seconds

o  monitoringDelayTime: seconds
delay time of monitoring task in seconds

drag & drop
o  dragObjectForNode: aNode
returns the dragable object for a node; could be redefined in subclass

initialization
o  destroy
(comment from inherited method)
unmap & destroy - make me invisible, destroy subviews then
make me unknown to the device

o  initialize
setup my model and set the default path to the current directory;
by default, multiple selection is disabled.

model
o  rootFromModel
update hierarchical list from root model

o  selectionFromModel
set the selection derived from the selectionHolder

o  selectionToModel
write selection to selection holder

private
o  fileName2node: aFile
file := self makeLegalFilename:aFile.

o  makeLegalFilename: aFile

o  monitorCycle
run monitor cycle

selection
o  selectPathname: aPath
set selection to a path

o  selectedNodeExpand: doExpand
collapse or expand selected node.
Redefined to show a busy cursor while reading dirs

o  selectedPathname
if there is a single selection, the full pathname of the selected
entry will be returned otherwise nil
