Description:


This class implements a hierarchical list view based on a
hierachical list.
It provides functionality similar to SelectionInTreeView, but optimizes
redraws, and operates directly on the model 
(in contrast to SelectionInTreeView, which generates a list internally).

[Instance variables:]
    textStartLeft       <Integer>              inset between icon and text
    imageInset          <Integer>              inset between left side and icon
    imageWidth          <Integer>              width of widest icon
    minLineHeight       <Integer>              minimum required line height
                                               including open/close indication ...
    indicatorWidth      <Integer>              max. width  of indicator

    showRoot            <Boolean>              root element is shown or hidden
                                               derives from the hierachical list.
    showLines           <Boolean>              show or hide lines
    showIndicators      <Boolean>              show or hide indicators
    useDefaultIcons     <Boolean>              use the default icons if no icon
                                               for an item is specified
    icons               <IdentityDictionary>   list of registered icons;
                                               identifier := <key> value := <icon>
    showLeftIndicators  <Boolean>              show or hide indicator for most left items
    indicatorAction     <Block>                action evaluated if indicator is pressed (0/1/2 arguments)
    openIndicator       <Icon, Image or Form>  expanded indicator
    closeIndicator      <Icon, Image or Form>  collapsed indicator

    alignTextRight      <Boolean>              enable disable of align the text right
                                               icon            text
                                                    icon       text of child
                                               should be set after creation of the widget!
    alignTextRightX     <Integer>              left x position of aligned right text
    maxWidthOfText      <Integer>              keeps the maximum width of a text label

    levelOfLastItem     <Integer>              keeps the level of the last item;
                                               in case of a delete last items from list
                                               we know were to redraw lines from

    autoScrollHorizontal <Boolean>             true, than automatically scroll horizontal upto
                                               the text label of the current selected line.

    expandOnSelect      <Boolean>              true, than the item selected by a buttonPress
                                               event will be immediately expanded.

Instance protocol:

accessing
o  font: aFont
set a new font; if the font changed, all my items
have to clear their cached width and height.

(upto the text label of the selected line)
is allowed (the default is as specified in the styleSheet).

o  autoScrollHorizontal: aBoolean
true, than automatically scroll horizontal upto the text label
of the current selected line.

o  expandOnSelect

be immediately expanded.

o  expandOnSelect: aBoolean

o  iconAlignment: aSymbol
alignment of the icons
#left align icons left
#right align icons right
#center align icons center between left and right

o  iconAt: aKey ifAbsentPut: aBlock

result of the block if not nil is stored under the key
and returned.

actions
o  indicatorAction
the action evaluated if an indicator is pressed; otherwise
if indicators are shown a default action is performed (toggle expand item).

The arguments to the block are:
- no argument
- 1 argument index
- 2 argument index, self

o  indicatorAction: anAction
the action evaluated if an indicator is pressed; otherwise
if indicators are shown a default action is performed (toggle expand item).

The arguments to the block are:
- no argument
- 1 argument index
- 2 argument index, self

change & update
o  indicatorIconChanged
must recompute all

o  indicatorPressedAt: aLnNr
handle indicator pressed action;
if the item changed expanded, we try to show all
new visible children

o  lineChangedAt: aLnNr with: arg
line changed at position; check whether line height changed

draw the vertical line my children are connected to

** This is an obsolete interface - do not use it (it may vanish in future versions) **

o  drawVerticalLineForElement: item minX: xL maxX: xR
draw the vertical line my children are connected to

o  validateDrawableIconFor: anItem

scrolling
o  computeViewOriginXat: aLnrNr
returns the viewOrigin x to make the item at a line visisble
