Description:


OBSOLETE, please use HierarchicalListView.

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

Notice: 
    This class obsoletes SelectionInHierarchyView, which is no longer
    maintained but kept for backward compatibility.

Notice2: 
    Even for this class, an improved replacement now exists:
    HierarchicalListView.
    Please consider using that one.
    (however, this class is kept for backward compatibility).

however, if a dragObjectConverter is defined, that one gets a chance
to convert as appropriate.

and scroll as specified in scrollWhenUpdating (default:top-left).
If expand is true, tabs are expanded (to spaces).
If scan is true, scan the passed list for nonStrings; otherwise,
assume that it does contain non-strings
(remembered to optimize later redraws).

o  withoutRedrawAt: anIndex put: aString
change a line without redisplay and WITHOUT any sizeChange notifications.
Somewhat dangerous, since scrollBars will not be informed about contents-changes.
Use only if multiple lines are to be changed, and a sizeChanged is invoked by some other
means at the end.

Examples:


shows the tree of smalltalk classes:
  |top sel|

  top := StandardSystemView new; extent:300@300.

  sel action:[:nr | Transcript show:'selected:'; showCR:nr].
  top add:(ScrollableView forView:sel) in:((0.0 @ 0.0 ) corner:( 1.0 @ 1.0)).
  top open.
same, including nil-subclasses (i.e. really all classes):
  |top sel|

  top := StandardSystemView new; extent:300@300.
  sel := SelectionInTreeView new.
  sel root:(TreeItem newAsTreeFromSmalltalkClass:nil).
  sel action:[:nr | Transcript show:'selected:'; showCR:nr].

  top open.

  |top sel|

  top := StandardSystemView new; extent:300@300.
  sel := SelectionInTreeView new.
