What is New (see all changes)?

Apr 29 '05 Dragging uses Node.drag and ExClipboard.convert
When doing drag and drop of nodes from explorer to another place in explorer the Node.drag method is called when doing copy and in both cases of copy or move the ExClipboard.convert method is called for Transferable containing all the nodes, so one can wrap the whole transfer with pre and post operations.
Mar 30 '05 Added a new ColumnMnemonicCharTTV property to NodeTableModel
The new property allows you to specify a mnemonic character for display names of TreeTableView columns.
Mar 18 '05 One can specify separator for property editor for String[]
One can specify an item separator for properties using string array editor. For example following code:
```
           Node.Property np = new Node.Property (String[].class, ...);
           np.setValue ("item.separator", "-");        
         
```
separates items returned from getAsText and parsed by setAsText by -. List of supported parameters can be found here.
Mar 11 '05 Nodes in explorer can supress default confirmation dialog during delete operation
Nodes that need to supress default confirmation dialog shown during delete action can do this if they return Boolean.TRUE from Node.getValue(String) for attribute customDelete.
Aug 25 '04 Fixed TreeView.drag/dropActive switcher
The methods TreeView.setDragSource(boolean) and TreeView.setDropTarget can set drag/dropActive on/off. The drag source and drop target are enabled by default. Before the views were forced to be drag/drop active no matter what state was set.
